This movie is so much fun! While it can be difficult to follow at some points, it does come together in the end. Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan have a great chemistry together! And, of course, Jamie Lee Curtis is amazing, as always.

I was told by several people that this movie is amazing, and I should watch it. I was disappointed - while the flying scenes were great, the story didn't really resolve anything from the first Top Gun.

I suspect this is going to become one of our annual Christmas movies. Lots of action, good acting, fun story. Like the title, it is very violent, just to warn you.

Absolutely amazing! I watched this on Disney +, and was simply bawling at the end! Stephen Spielberg did a wonderful job re-imagining "West Side Story", all while retaining the original feel. If you're able, watch the making of - it's so very interesting, and it includes Stephen Sondheim's last interview before he passed.Absolutely amazing!

This is a wonderful movie about the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. It is well acted, and I was impressed with some of the big-name actors: Mark Ruffalo plays Ned Weeks, the main character. Julia Roberts plays the amazing doctor who fights for her patients. Jim Parsons plays Tommy, a smaller part, but still a good one.
Be prepared for a lot of cussing, male nudity, and other things that will possibly make you uncomfortable.This is a wonderful movie about the AIDS crisis in the 1980s.

I've checked the ice cream maker out a few times, as hubby and I know how dangerous it would be to own one. It is so easy to use - freeze the bowl overnight, make up the ice cream mixture and let it sit 1 hour - overnight. Pour mixture into bowl, turn machine on, and it takes about 20 - 30 minutes to make a lovely, soft ice cream. I've made several flavors - recently, I did a peanut butter/caramel/graham cracker mixture, and peppermint, my favorite flavor. I've also done strawberry, blueberry, and marionberry. So delicious!I've checked the ice cream maker out a few times, as hubby and I know how dangerous it would be to own one.

This had a long holds list to begin with, and took quite a while to get to me, but patience paid off, and I finally got to take it home, along with the ice cream maker (we needed something to put in the waffle cones we made). This thing is awesome! Recipes are fast & easy to make. The waffle cones bake fairly quickly, and it's fun to try to roll them into shape before they cool too quickly (we never did succeed). I highly recommend the waffle cone maker!This had a long holds list to begin with, and took quite a while to get to me, but patience paid off, and I finally got to take it home, along with the ice cream maker (we needed something to put in the waffle cones we made).

What a truly wild ride! I had a hard time putting this down - so many twists and turns. It was difficult at times to follow the timeline between the people in the air and the people on the ground, but that didn't take away from the excitement. I can see them making this into a movie for sure - how can they not?What a truly wild ride! I had a hard time putting this down - so many twists and turns.

When I finished this book, I immediately got a hold of two of my friends and told them to drop everything and read it now! Brad Snyder is an amazing athlete, who, through the odds managed to win several medals at the Paralympics (swimming) in both 2012 and 2016. He's even competing in the 2020 Paralympic games, which will be starting soon. His description of being in Afghanistan with his troops, the constant fear, and then the eventual loss of his eyes to an IED (and what happens next) is both amazing and inspiring.When I finished this book, I immediately got a hold of two of my friends and told them to drop everything and read it now!

While a little heavy on the politics (mostly in the beginning, but throughout the book as well), I found Billy Summers to be an interesting, fast read. It's not what you would expect from SK, but he's good at surprising us regularly with novels that are not his usual genre. The contrast between Billy's true voice and the book that's being written is astounding in my opinion.While a little heavy on the politics (mostly in the beginning, but throughout the book as well), I found Billy Summers to be an interesting, fast read.

I'm going to come right out and say it - yes, this novel was depressing, and I cried at the end. But, knowing that it was set in during the Dust Bowl, the depression, and other hard times, it kind of has to be depressing. Plus, it gives one a real taste of what it must have been like for those poor souls that lived through it. The drought, the dust, the depression, where you took any job you could get, and still survived on grit alone.I'm going to come right out and say it - yes, this novel was depressing, and I cried at the end.

One of Grisham's best, in my humble opinion. Like many people have stated, it appears he's set Jake Brigance up to be in another novel. I'm okay with that - I like Jake, and want to know what happens next!

Amazing, fast-paced book! I was unable to put it down, and when I did put it down, I spent a lot of time thinking about it and the implications of altering time. (That's all I'm going to say - I don't want to ruin it for anyone!)

Wow. Just WOW. A total 180 from "The Perks of Being a Wallflower". While it's long, it's also hard to put down. Many people have complained about the religious aspect of it, but it didn't bother me (that much). It reminded me of a Stephen King book - totally draws you in until the very last page.Wow. Just WOW.

One of John Grisham's best books, in my opinion. A crooked cop & his flunkies put away an innocent man for murder. 23 years later, a lawyer picks up his story and tries to exonerate him.
