How to Stop Time By Matt Haig   “That’s the thing with time, isn’t it? It’s not all the same. Some days – some years – some decades – are empty. There is nothing to them. It’s just flat water. And then you come across a year, or even a day, or an afternoon. And it is everything. It is the whole thing.” Tom     Caring about those around us is undervalued by our society. It’s not fashionable, and it should come more naturally than it sometimes does.

The Force Don Winslow. 2017.   SPOILER WARNING…   “’Life is trying to kill us.” She says. Life, Malone thinks, is trying to kill everyone. And it always succeeds.

Collateral Beauty Dir. David Frankel. 2016 MINOR SPOILERS WITHIN… “I got it! It all basically says that you’re a natural part of life, we shouldn’t hate you, we shouldn’t fear you. I guess we should just accept you right? That’s it? I get it. Here’s the thing. It’s all a bunch of intellectual bullsh*t because she’s not here holding my f*cking hand.” Howard.   I want to start this review by talking a little about logic and emotion, and how we respond in different ways to what we see in a movie. Are these two things mutually exclusive? If I respond logically to one part of the movie with that ..read more
