REVIEW:
Such fun!
Every morning I would see and see what was in store when reading this book. Every day was a new little vignette about someone and the not-so-smart choices they make.
We have all laughed at someone's expense, possible even our own, and this book is exactly that. Small vignettes of people's decisions that are not of their best decisions, and we get a laugh at them. It's not hurtful or mean, most of these vignettes were in the news or otherwise.
For me, I am always amazed at how brain-dead people can be sometimes. You know it happens but to read about the mishaps and bad decisions really put it in perspective.
It is a harmful way to get a laugh and learn not to do that same thing yourself. You don't want to be the next ding-dong on the news anyway.....

The Invisible Man

AVAILABLE TODAY! RATED R 125 MINUTES AMAZON What you can't see can hurt you.

But when her abusive ex suddenly dies, Cecilia suspects his death was a hoax. As a series of eerie coincidences turns lethal, threatening the lives of those she loves, Cecilia's sanity begins to unravel while she desperately tries to prove she is being hunted by someone nobody can see.  REVIEW: I sorta hated the beginning. Starts outs so dark that you can't really make anything out. Hard to know what's going on if you can't see. It doesn't take long to get light though. Thankfully. Man, does the story ever pick up after that. I don't remember much about the original but this one is intense. Right to the very last second too. Sydney is badass and shows it throughout. Can you imagine what it would

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
