There is no downside to seeing The Upside.
As with most movies, I did little due diligence prior to seeing The Upside so I would not have any prejudices entering the film.
However, I couldn’t avoid two inescapable thoughts prior to seeing the movie: Bryan Cranston never disappoints and Kevin Hart is a much better actor than a comedian (more on that in a bit). Also, throw in some Nicole Kidman and we might have ourselves a decent viewing experience.
Where the Crawdads Sing has kept its place on the bestseller list for a long time. I didn’t want to read it but it wouldn’t go away. Every week, it’s there again – inescapable.
Why didn’t I want to read it?
As I viewed the Amazon page for the book, I found three compelling reasons to NOT READ Where the Crawdads Sing:
(1) It was a pick of the Reese Witherspoon Hello Sunshine Book Club — what is this? I like Reese, but seriously, does every celebrity have to have a book club?
In this book review of The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell, I will share with you what I liked, what I didn’t like, and whether this is a book that you should have on your bookshelves or in your Kindle collection.
This is the first book that I have read by Lisa Jewell. I have heard her name, and heard people mention her books, but until now I have never been compelled to read one.
As a picture of food often compels us to visit a restaurant, I will admit I do judge a book by its cover and perhaps that is the reason that I have never before read this Lisa Jewell book.
I am just reading in the entertainment section of the newspaper about this website called ChatRoulette.com.
It´s a website where everybody is LIVE on webcams. No doctored photos or photos of people from 10 years before. It is all apparently live, pimples and all.
So, I´m gonna pop on the computer and see what all the fuss is about — this is my official ChatRoulette review.
The movie 21 introduced many to the concept of variable change. But what is variable change? Stay tuned for a lively discussion!
During the movie 21 (read my 21 movie review here), we are introduced to a seemingly simple example of probability often referred to by three different names: Variable change, the Monty Hall Problem, and/or conditional probability. The scenario is this:
I am going to describe a man to you and I just want to know what your thoughts of him are.
This man is 38 years old, has a terrific job, and many friends. On top of all that, he has an attractive loving wife who has faithfully been by his side for the last 11 years. Together, they have recently decided to have their first baby together.
After having just finished a book by Jimmy Buffet entitled A Salty Piece of Land, I got to thinking about who I would rather be: Jimmy Buffet or Warren Buffet?
Considering my surroundings at the moment, a beautiful sunny beach on the coast of South America, the decision was really a “no-brainer”.
In this must see video, a group of lions attack a buffalo calf, an alligator then bites the calf, and then the buffalo save the calf and scare the lions.
My parents told me about this video on YouTube and I finally found it. This is truly the best live, wildlife video that I have seen.
Ah, I love this topic. The 80’s are my growing up time. Take a walk down memory lane with me as we review the Top Actresses Of The 1980’s.
“Why should I read?”, my older nephew asked me as he was waiting for me to finish my book, eager to get to the pool.
“Reading,” I told him “will teach more about the world you live in.”
“Like what?” he asked.
