Kill List - Movie Review

Kill List is one of the those movies that follows hitmen, they have a job and they have to kill people. I found it interesting that instead of glorifying the killings and without giving into too much stereotypes, the movie actually focused on more real interactions between the two hitmen and how like us they have conflicts, family problems and a sense of morality and that even though to them it's just like a job, they still are killing people and they have to live with that.

The folly of this is the third act of this movie which turns the structure of this whole "go and kill people without fu***ng up" into "survive". Which lended the film the tense finale that it had built up.

I liked it enough to recommend watching this with a few friends. Very well made and well-acted, you could understand and see the dilemmas, fear, anger and frustration that the characters were going through. I like that there is a category of movies following morally angry hitmen who die because of their own actions, teaching us that though this job was giving them a lot of easy money, once you step in there is only one way to get out: Die.

In this edge-of-your-seat thriller, a former hitman takes a final job for a mysterious client whose targets are tinged with the supernatural.

Someone Could Get Hurt - Audiobook Review
Written and Read by: Drew Magary
Published by: Penguin Audio
Released: 2013

I had never read anything from the author, wasn't much into nonfiction books and didn't know first thing about parenting.

BUT I LOVED THIS

Something about this book is just so earnest and frank that I can't help relating to the author even I have never had kids, painting a lot of different situations that were full of funny interactions that had me LOL'ing. I don't know if reading it would have had the same effect but the **audiobook** helped so mcuh in getting the comedy across to me so I definitely recommend that version.

I had admittedly never given much thought about kids and parents and thus I was really engaged with the book because that's what reading is: It makes you explore new frontiers of life.

Very short as well, this is a book that is perfect for a rating "Should be Borrowed" from the library.

"Doc Oc's arms turn tyrannical" - Spider-Man 2 (2004)

One of the best standalone villain scenes in any superhero mocie.

I decided to DNF the perks of being a wallflower. It's a good book and I really wanted to finish it because it's a short one but I understand that sometimes things have to let go. I really hope I can get an audiobook version of this book soon

Tribe: On Belonging and Homecoming - Audiobook review

Narrated and Written by: Sebastian Junger
Produced by: Hatchet Audio

I liked this one. Narration wasn't anything particularly good but it carried the message across. Overall, content wise it feels a little thin because near the end it seems like personal anecdotes increased in quantity while thorough research gets diminished. But ultimately, it's a humane book with some startling segments about the miserable modern society and the thriving times of war and hardships.

It's fairly short as well, just under 3 hours.

Do I recommend this book? Yes, if you can get it from your local library. It's worth a visit but it's not worth the buy.

"Dr. Otto Octavius Robs a Bank" - Spider-Man 2 (2004)

This simple action sequence is more impersive than majority of the action scenes in Superhero movies that focus on loud destruction and disjointed choreography. Everything from Peter not being to shoot his web and Aunt May slapping the banker to stop him from stealing a coin yells theme and purpose. It's very easy to follow and intense.

Purposes are self-defined objects of our subjective perceivable reality.

DNF'd The Art of Living.

The Runaways DNF'd

It seems like it has potential for story but the inability to create a plot that goes forward is minimal even in the first 100 pages that I have this book. All we have is a semblance of theme and the creation of subplot characters that would LATER give way to character motivations that define this book. I'm not interested.

DNF'd WazHack.
Great game but there is a paywall fairly early in the dungeon that stops you from playing.
