Dangerous Woman
Dangerous Woman

5.0 out of 5 stars Intense R&B and Pop TuneMarch 23, 2016
This review is from: Dangerous Woman (MP3 Music)
Dangerous Woman by Arianna Grande is a catchy pop and R&B song that appears to be about spending time with someone that gives a feeling of a romantic rush and/or romantic intensity. The Bustle website features an article by Mary Garis that also adds additional meaning on what Dangerous Woman entails. Nonetheless, both the vocals and the music to this song harmonize into a provocative tune that could also be about being in love with someone.

This review is from: Intra Muros (Kindle Edition)
This kindlebook of Intra Muros by Rebecca Ruter Springer caught my attention due to my intuitive understand of why I must be open to both new age and Christian views on the afterlife (for personal spiritual reasons I would rather avoid going into for now). Additionally, I unintentionally found out about the late author and this book and felt that there was a spiritual reason for this especially when I noticed that Rebecca Springer (the author) shared the same birthday as me. Springer begins her writing by admitting that she had been ill for many weeks and sharing the details of wearing a robe similar to the other residents of the place that her soul traveled to. Springer also mentioned the elaborate detail of the houses she visited in this new heavenly world that were made of the finest marbles, broad verandas, and were unlike any architecture that she has seen on earth. The good news is that there is more details to Intra Muros by Rebecca Springer.

5.0 out of 5 stars What Influenced Me To Watch This ShowMarch 23, 2016
I admit that a Daily Mail UK article about Jenee Darden (daughter of Chris Darden) indirectly influenced me to check out Episode 1 titled From The Ashes of American Tragedy from Season 1 of American Crime Story. It was clear to me through the article that Jenee Darden and her father share a strong spiritual father/daughter bond and I could not help but feel empathy for her when she admitted how her father’s notoriety with the OJ Simpson case at first indirectly affected her employment prospects. Anyhow, it is hard for me to pin down the strongest character performances (I will leave that to other reviewers to decide). However, as many people know there is an all star cast to this television show; John Travolta, Cuba Gooding Jr., Sarah Paulson, Sterling K. Brown, Courtney B. Vance, Kenneth Choi, Christian Clemenson,Bruce Greenwood, Nathan Lane, David Schwimmer more actor/actresses featured to this tv show etc.. Season 1 includes moments of the portrayal of Nicole Brown’s funeral, the lie detector test, the Hollywood portrayal of when the cops found the bodies of Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman, a Hollywood reenactment of what Kris Jenner may have said at Nicole Brown’s funeral etc. What complicates the overall situation is that this tv show highlights the 2006 publication of the book If I Did It; Confessions of The Killer by ghostwriter Pablo Fenjves and is listed to be by OJ Simpson (online via a Business Insider article titled “How OJ Simpson says he would've murdered Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman — 'if' he did it by Anjelica Oswald from February 5, 2016.

5.0 out of 5 stars Could This Series Have Inspired Other Modern Day Afterlife/Heaven Themed Books?March 21, 2016
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This kindlebook of Life Beyond The Veil; A Compilation of Four Classic Books (Life On Other Worlds Series) by G Vale Owen covers various perspectives pertaining to afterlife discussion. For instance, there is a dated entry from September 23, 1913 that is addressed apparently in a way to describe (from the author’s late mother) that spirits who live on in heaven work in various occupations, with some having the job of helping people still on alive on earth. The homes are written to be colorfully bright and there are also hills, rivers, and beautiful forests. There were some details that the mother wanted to impart to the author, but apparently the author was not yet ready to receive this information. There is much more in the Lowlands of Heaven section and the four books. I’m glad to have purchased The Life Beyond The Veil; A Compilation of Four Classic Books (Life On Other Worlds Series) for my writing goals and other spiritual/personal reasons.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Taste Lives Up To The TitleMarch 20, 2016
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice Cookie Butter (11.1 ounce) caught my attention because of my previous enjoyment of Biscoff cookie butter and my curiosity to see how pumpkin cookie butter tastes. I paid out of my own pocket to buy it from Amazon online because I wasn’t sure if the pumpkin cookie butter was going to be carried in some of the grocery stores that are extremely easy for me to access via walking and/or public transportation in my area (such as Giant’s, Safeway, Aldi, Costco, Shopper’s, Whole Foods, Target etc). The pumpkin taste is very pronounced in this cookie butter with the right amount of cinnamon and ginger taste. This pumpkin spice cookie butter is great to eat on its own yet I have also tried this pumpkin spice cookie butter with cut up pieces of a granny smith green apple which tasted delectable. I must disclose the following fact because I have recently picked up on the controversy online through a recent Fortune article (which truthfully made me wonder if it was articulately written by business competitors) around unpaid compared to paid writers/reviewers so my intuition is guiding me to disclose this; Please know that I’m flattered when people think that I’m a paid writer/reviewer for certain food products. However, please know that I’m an amateur writer/blogger/reviewer but I pledge to honestly disclose on my blog if I'm writing about a brand on my blogs or online reviews that is a freebie (I’ll earmark the food item as a freebie if this is the case). Even at my previous place of employment-which I was employed at from October 21, 2013 up until December 12, 2015-I reviewed all the food items I got from my job for free without extra financial compensation and/or any other forms of compensation from the company (and paid for out of the money from my husband and/or myself). There is a program available at my previous company of employment and I discovered online (around 2-3 weeks after December 12, 2015) through other legal avenues where an employee could review a grocery, drink,other food item, and/or non-food item for financial compensation and/or other benefits, in addition to financial compemsation and/or freebies for non-employees of said company (companies). However, I have not ever been a part of either one of those programs and I pledge to share on my online blogs and/or reviews if this is the case by earmarking as freebie in the title and/or next to the food. My husband and I currently do not use foodstamps, but I would not permanently swear off foodstamps. Currently, I’m thankful to say that the food/drink items that I share online come from either my husband’s financial generosity, my unemployment benefits, and sometimes my mother in law has given my husband and I free food but I would also disclose if the food item came as a gift

This kindlebook of Sing To Me; My Story of Making Music, Finding Magic, and Searching For Who’s Next by LA Reid is filled with among the following information tidbits; the music soundtrack for the Boomerang movie was among one of the first multi-million sellers for a record label that he was affiliated with in the early 1990’s, the love of his mother shines through when he discusses with pride her work as a seamstress making vinyl tops for cars at Parkway manufacturing (her name is listed to be Emma Reid). LA Reid explained that his mother Emma Reid also made beautiful cloths, draperies, tablecloths, and bedspreads at home and sometimes freelanced for an interior design firm. One of LA Reid’s favorite songs growing up was “Please Mr. Postman: by The Marvelettes. He also mentioned about starting to write songs around the time he was 21, but he never shared them with a band he was in because he was too shy, of course there is much more in this kindlebook.

5.0 out of 5 stars I’m Unexpectedly Influenced To Check Out The Big Short Book and/or Kindlebook After Seeing This MovieMarch 20, 2016
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Big Short (Amazon Video)
The Big Short Movie stars Christian Bale as Michael Burry,Ryan Gosling as Jared Vennett, Steve Carrell as Mark Baum, Brad Pitt as Ben Rickert, John Magaro as Charlie Geller, Finn Wittrock as Jamie Shipley, and of course there are more actors/actresses in this film. The movie features on how the previous mentioned men were among a conglomerate of people who foresaw what was going to happen to the mortgages available to the general mainstream public before it became common knowledge. There are some quotes given in this movie that foreshadow what is about to happen such as the following quote attributed to Mark Twain “It Isn’t What You Don’t Know That Gets You In Trouble, It’s What You Know For Sure That Just Ain’t So” the director Adam Mckay’s quote of “Truth is Like Poetry and Most People Dislike Poetry” (mentioned for dramatic fictional effect as listed to have been quoted in a Washington D.C. bar0 and they feature various song snippets and celebrities to catch the meaning of the moving in an enthralling way; Shake Your Moneymaker by Ludacrais feat. Pharrell, remake of the Lithium song by Nirvana performed by another group, Milkshake by Kelis, Feel Good by the Gorillaz, and more. Some of the celebrities featured in this film; Margot Robbie from The Wolf of Wall Street film,Richard Thaler, Selena Gomez, Anthony Bourdain (my husband sometimes watches Anthony Bourdain on tv),. Some of the locations featured in the Big Short movie; 25 Broadway Standard & Poor’s Ratings Agency, American Securitization Forum, 112 Avenue of the Americas (Wall Street Journal), The Black Horse Pub in England etc. During part of the movie, one of the characters is eerily shown predicting that immigrants, poor people and teachers are going to be blamed for the financial crisis (around the time that movie is shown where many of the big banks received financial bailouts). There is also one fact that was shockingly listed; 8 million people lost their jobs, 6 million people lost their homes, and this was just in the U.S.A. I want to list more but my intuition is guiding me to avoid doing so out of respect for the people looking at this review who still want to see The Big Short movie. Additionally, I wonder if The Big Short movie indirectly has any parallels to the student loan situation. Less than 18 months ago, I noticed that some people were predicting that the student loan epidemic in America is the next financial bubble to pop but I noticed that discussion of that through mainstream media channels appeared to die down for now. Anyhow, I admit to having student loans but fortunately my student loans die with me as I do not have a cosigner and I know that I’ll get judged for admitting this but I do not regret taking out student loans because the experience has helped me to further logically avoid borrowing for anything else (credit or loan wise for the rest of my current lifetime) since July/August 2013 (except for a class that I wanted to take around May 2015 but the student loan available was possibly not going to cover the full amount and so I changed my mind to even swear off further student loans for myself for the rest of my current lifetime regardless of what others think of me doing so).

This review is from: Forsaken (Amazon Video)
The Forsaken movie tugs at the heart of the conflict around people being threatened/forced out of where they live. The movie includes Kiefer Sutherland as John Henry Clayton, Donald Sutherland as Reverend William Clayton, Demi Moore as Mary Alice Watson, Greg Ellis as Tom Watson, Brian Cox as James McCurdy, Michael Wincott as Gentleman Dave Turner, Aaron Poole as Frank Tillman, among other actors/actresses. John Clayton and his father William Clayton have a lot of catching up to do after life circumstances affected their relationship. The character of Mary Watson is a past girlfriend of John Clayton and she is married to Tom Watson. The character of Tom Watson is shown mentioning an interesting life quote during the film of saying “A New Start Doesn’t Mean Anything If You’re Carrying Old Feelings Around.”James McCurdy and Frank Tillman run a corrupt business of forcing people out of their homes/land that are trying to catch up financially and using lethal and unfair practices to force them to their will. Dave Turner sees the dangerous and evil acts associated with his job and he tries to speak up on the wrongdoing but what he says is initially ignored. Ironically, one of John Clayton’s skills that is initially harshly by his father becomes an important part of the movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gwen Stefani Musically Opens Her Heart With Captivating EffectMarch 20, 2016
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This music collection of This Is What The Truth Feels Like by Gwen Stefani blends dance, pop, and electro melodies in a seamless and synchronized manner. I admit that my current favorites of this collection are You’re My Favorite, Asking For It (feat. Fetty Wap), Send Me A Picture, Where Would I Be, and Rare. However, I plan to also keep an open mind to listen and/or watch any other music videos/songs that are listed on This Is What The Truth Feels Like collection because each song is musically distinctive in its own way. This collection is also great if you like the music catchiness of Make Me Like You and/or Misery (because of the carefree and amusing vibe of these songs). As mentioned in a previous review, despite the mainstream media coverage/writing material being spun out of the love lives of Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, and Gavin Rossdale I continue to avoid taking sides because I’m guessing that each of them are trying to heal in their own way despite the frequent media scrutiny into how each of them are coping.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blend of 2000’s era and Earlier Country MusicMarch 20, 2016
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This music collection of Now That’s What I Call ACM Awards (50 Years) contains a diverse range of country music artists/groups on this cd. The price is perfect for the amount of songs that are on the collection (which makes it worth it to a person like myself who pays out of pocket). My late adoptive mother frequently played country music in the household during my pre-teen and teenage years (which directly influenced why I’m familiar with multiple 90’s country songs and why I’m open-minded in listening to some country music collections/country music artists/groups from time to time). As a result, my favorites from this collection are tricky for me to pin down and I prefer to leave that to other reviewers. However, as one can tell from the current online music listing on Amazon, there are music features both from the 2000’s and other songs from the 1990’s and/earlier. For instance some of the multiple artists representing 2000’s era country on this collection are; Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Luke Bryan, Kelly Clarkson, Reba Mcentire,Taylor Swift,Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Taylor Swift, Lee Brice, Lady Antebellum,Brad Paisley, and more 2000’s era country groups/country musicians. Alabama, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson, The Judds, Randy Travis, The Highwayman song (my husband likes this song), and many more country artists and country groups are featured on this collection that represent the 1990s country music genre and/or earlier.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Partial Explanation On Why I Intend to Buy All Three Seasons Currently Available This YearMarch 20, 2016
I may be in the minority for thinking this but I’m glad that there are tv shows such as Million Dollar Rooms available for public viewing. I want to refrain from elaborating why and I wouldn’t mind being proven wrong on this, yet I have a feeling that a show such as Million Dollar Rooms may not be as easily available for mainstream general public viewing within 15-20 years from now or possibly sooner as easily as it is available for public viewing this year. Anyhow, there are multiple compelling features just in episode 1 of Million Dollar Rooms that make this a television show that is fun to watch just for dreaming, scriptwriting/bookwriting, and/or other reasons. The following are some of the features that caught my attention in episode 1; Sally Jones from the Sally Foster Jones Team takes a viewer inside one of the houses, a person by the name of Braden Powers takes the viewer inside his home,there is a feature of a dining room that can be used for dinner parties that measures over 4,000 square feet, million dollar rooms in Gold Coast Australia, real estate specialist Konstantin Panov, the feature of Zermatt Switzerland, Rancho Mirage California,Bryan Foster Owner & Designer, Bryan Foster owner & designer of one of the homes featured, million dollar rooms in an elaborate home in Positano Italy explained and displayed, and much more.

As with many other people, The rock song Last Dance was my introduction to hearing about Jeff Buckley. I forgot which tv station did it first but as a teenager of the 90’s I first heard Last Dance on what was either VH1 or MTV. Anyhow there are other great songs on this Grace collection by Jeff Buckley as well such as Halleluja, Eternal Life, So Real etc.

This review is from: Be Without You (MP3 Music)
I remember first hearing Be Without You by Mary J Blige around 2006 through both what was either local radio and/or it was featured on television. Anyhow, Be Without You by Mary J Blige is a heartfelt R&B/pop song about feeling so close and connected to the person that you romantically love. I’m grateful to have positive songs like this that remind me of the gift of my husband (who I have known for 13.5 years and have been married to for 12 years) and to me Be Without You symbolizes the idea of enduring Love (even though I understand that this song could be interpreted in other ways).

5.0 out of 5 stars More Than Just A Tour GroupMarch 20, 2016
Tour Group Season 1 Episode 1 titled Not In Georgia Anymore features cast members from various walks of life congregating together to enjoy a travel discovery vacation. I do like that the cast members in the show bravely and generously shared the careers/professional backgrounds that they came from because it helps an audience viewer understand their perspective and approaches to the world and other cast members. Some of the people and careers mentioned in Episode 1 Not In Georgia Anymore are that of a marketing salesman, former model, managing broker, travel writer, social media expert,jewelry designer, an airline affiliated employee who works with customers who purchase/choose luxury travel experiences, and more cast members. The place that they are shown staying at in episode 1 of Not in Georgia Anymore is The Sahara Place. The names of the cast members and some of the insider information on this Tour Group tv show are on the Bravo Channel television website.

5.0 out of 5 stars Private Scandal By The OceanMarch 20, 2016
This song Cake By The Ocean by DNCE is definitely a catchy pop/dance song that has a different meaning than what I initially wondered it to be. At first, I was guessing if maybe this song had something to do with some type of party featuring cake by the ocean. However, after looking up the meaning of the song online, I realized that the true meaning of this song is definitely something that would make for a scandalous tv show and/or movie if a script and/or story was ever written based on the true meaning of this song. Nonetheless, Cake By The Ocean by DNCE is a very enjoyable song to listen to.

This review is from: Team [Explicit] (MP3 Music)
Team by Iggy Azalea mixes electro, pop, and urban sounds for a song that appears to symbolize the power of people coming together in a group (just a guess). The dance video that is currently available online goes well with the theme of Team because of the dancers gathering and synchronizing together in the same room. Team by Iggy Azalea is good if you are open to listening to a blend of music genres, like the Fancy song also by Iggy Azalea feat. Charli XCX and/or Beg For It by Iggy Azalea feat. MO.

Welcome To The Show by Adam Lambert feat. Laleh is a quiet tempo pop and chillout type of song that harmonizes Lambert’s vocals with Laleh’s. I admit that I’m still trying to figure out the full meaning of this song, but I’m only guessing that Welcome To The Show partially relates with the meaning of a person completely accepting who they are and their life regardless of how they are perceived. I say partially because I’m aware that this song could mean multiple things.

As a result they create a breed of humans who have a hard time feeling boredom, this is only an exciting glimpse into the other writing prompts and tips available. I admit that a few of the reasons why I enjoy writing stories, regardless of the outcome of recognition or obscurity, is because it gives me unexplainable joy and I have noticed how it has helped my creativity, logic, and intuition even more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious/Comedic Spy Parody Sends A Positive Message That Everyone Can Have A Useful PurposeMarch 12, 2016
I admit that watching The Brothers Grimsby film was unexpected because my husband sprung his preference to watch this movie as a positive surprise for both of us about one to two hours after leaving our apartment. However, I’m glad that I agreed to watch this film because it was funnier than I expected. My husband and I were not the only two laughing in the movie theater (there were multiple other people in the audience laughing). As many know this film stars Mark Strong as Sebastian a deadly assassin who puts the best in his job and whose life is changed dramatically when his well-meaning but clutzy brother Nobby (Sacha Baron Cohen) comes into his life. Sebastian is more of a hardened type of character who also happens to be the braintrust between him and his brother, which at first causes tension. Nobby has a girlfriend Dawn Grobham (Rebel Wilson) that he loves, some children that mean a lot to him,and a life in the town of Grimsby England that he loves. Meanwhile, Sebastian too also has a woman in his life that he loves very much named Jodie Figgis (Isla Fisher). However, this is at first where the similiarities end to the point where Sebastian wants to discreetly get away from Nobby until he finds out why he cannot do this. Gabourey Sidibe also makes an appearance in the movie as a maid of a popular hotel in South Africa. Of course, there are more actors/actresses featured in the film who also contributed, but I want to avoid saying too much more for people who want to go watch The Brothers Grimsby.

This celestial seasonings honey lemon ginseng green tea has some strong citrus notes blended with the right amount of herbal blends in the taste of the tea. This celestial tea taste good enough on its own, but I admit to adding some lemon juice to this tea tonight.

This celestial seasonings honey vanilla chamomile tea has both a honey and herbal flavor that gives the tea both an earthly and aromatic/savory taste. I added some Virginia brand honey to give the celestial seasonings honey vanilla chamomile tea, yet the tea could also be enjoyed even without added honey.

The Ultimate Guide To Home Based Business Ideas; 101 Home Based Business Ideas You Can Use Today by Online Business Buddy is an affordable kindlebook that contains tips for increasing income for a person whether they want to pursue just a side hustle or for a person aiming/striving for successful entrepreneurship. The current picture of the mother with her baby symbolizes within the book that there are ideas that people can start from their home and/or apartment. Errand running, local publication creation,lost luggage reselling (the author shares how to go about it the legal way),gardening/nursery/urban farming, and more. Fortunately, I have a husband who is supportive of whatever I do professionally as long as it is legal. One of my main motivations for looking into a kindlebook like this can be best described by how I relate to the songs Enough by the late Joey Feek and her husband Rory (which gave me an intuitive message that wanting to have an abundant amount of money is only natural) and You Know You Like It by AlunaGeorge feat. DJ Snake (a song that I heard in one of my dreams originally around December 13th to 23rd 2015) that gave me an intuitive message that I also have to learn to enjoy my life more in order to help me achieve my financial goals). Like both the songs I mentioned and a supportive husband, the kindlebook helps remind me that there are multiple options and opportunities for legally making more money via taking practical/wisely calculated action as long as I’m persistent about it and strive to enjoy my life as much as possible in the process. I currently prefer to keep it secret of the ideas that I intend to implement from this book for practical reasons/considerations.

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I admit that I purchased this book How To Quit Your Job With Rental Properties; A Step by Step Guide To Unlocking Passive Income by Investing In Real Estate by Dustin Heiner as a way of helping me to further understand the way a real estate investor and/or seller thinks in order to help me achieve my intent to purchase a completely paid for home (new or an older fixer upper)for my husband and I by the years 2030-2031 or sooner. However, I also write this with the understanding that I might change my mind and want to go about being a real estate investor somewhere down the road. Anyhow, this kindlebook gives ideas for the ways a person can insure their real estate investment, there is also a helpful goal setting section such as obviously starting with the end goal in mind, an example of a rental home that costs $100,000,finding your target income amount, the author informatively compares a $100,000 single family home built after 1980 compared to a $40,000 single family home built after 1950, and more.

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I admit that I caught the Rick and Morty episode of Season 2 Episode 9 Look Who’s Purging Now while I was waiting to eventually watch the latest episode of Venture Brothers Season 6 that came on in the next half hour time slot. The episode 9 of Season 2 Rick and Morty finds the characters of Rick and Morty in a situation in a strange old style western alien world with one scene where one of the characters argues with another character over a screenplay. Then another scene where one of the characters makes a case for why people on the same socio-economic class need to try to avoid being against each other so much over differences when united they can hold so much more power even if coming from a very modest (crudely considered) lower socio-economic scale (because let’s face it very few people would not want to be considered middle class (median socio-economic scale) or higher. As An aspiring writer/scriptwriter, I enjoy seeing how the theme of unity is written within the chaos of plot events within an animated cartoon movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars As An Aspiring Author/Screenwriter, I’m Glad To Have Come Across This Book BecauseMarch 5, 2016
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
A Writer’s Guide To Persistence; How To Create A Lasting And Productive Writing Practice by Jordan Rosenfeld touches among the following topics; Making a list of all the possible time slots in your day that you could be writing (page 38), pushing through perfectionism and common fears (such as fear of failure, fear of being a fraud, fear of being out of control, fear of being tapped out,fear of being seen or being honest etc. (pages 72- 79). I’m also grateful that the author included a chapter on staving off sabotage either from yourself or from other people (chapter 17,an informative and helpful section that starts on page 150). He persuasively makes it clear that there are times when those who make a point to sabotage your writing are sometimes feeling unhappy and/or stuck themselves and/or trying to break free in their own creative lives. Rosenfeld also includes a healing quote in chapter 17 from Bobbe Sommer, From Psycho-Cybernetics With The Maxwell Maltz Foundation on why it is vital to embrace being different and/or your uniqueness rather than running away from it (which I admit that I’m still in the process of learning to embrace being different/my uniqueness). I wish that I would have found out about this book back around 2010/2011, but I’m happy to have discovered it by now.

This review is from: Trumbo (Amazon Video)
I’m fortunate to have had a chance to purchase the book Trumbo in 2015 (the move in tie in edition by Bruce Cook) as well as the 2008 documentary on Trumbo. As a result, I was greatly interested in the movie and I only wished that I would have watched it sooner. The first reason; There are a wide range of actors/actresses who contribute to this plot, and as a result it would take up more than two paragraphs to give justice to explaining the roles and plots. However, I intuitively feel fine with saying this; The characters of Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston) and Cleo Trumbo (Diane Lane) are shown having an enduring marriage and a strong family with their kids (the kids of various ages are played by Madison Wolfe, Toby Nichols, Meghan Wolfe,Mitchell Zakocs, Elle Fanning,Mattie Liptak, Becca Nicole Preston, John Mark Skinner as per Internet Movie Database online ) despite what they are put through from the professional power and significant influence of Hedda Hopper (Helen Mirren) and also seeing one of his close friends Arlen Hird (Louis C.K.) suffer greatly in his life. Eerily, I looked up a little information on Hedda Hooper and noticed that her son died just a few years after her. Fortunately, the characters of Frank King (John Goodman) and Hymie King (Stephen Root) become pivotal in Trumbo’s life to his professional growth. There are also other actors and actresses that tremendously weave into the plot details of the Trumbo movie, yet I must refrain from saying more out of consideration for others who have not yet seen the 2015 Trumbo movie.

This review is from: Working Girl (Amazon Video)
The film Working Girl stars Melanie Griffith as Tess McGill, Harrison Ford as Jack Trainer, and Sigourney Weaver as Katharine Parker. Tess McGill is trying to carve out a life for herself as a successful businesswoman but with the caveat of an equally accomplished and ambitious boss named Katherine Parker who shamelessly wants to take credit for many of Tess McGill’s ideas without at least giving partial credit to Tess McGill. Tess McGill’s life changes greatly once her boss lands in an accident and she meets Jack Trainer who sees her professional potential but there is one hitch. For starters, McGill initially has no idea that Trainer is actually linked to her boss Parker (which I could easily believe unless a person was actual friends with their boss). Additionally, Trainer has no idea McGill’s true professional role, and having been in a tough and competitive job market I can easily understand why McGill did not want to initially advertise to Trainer the full disclosure of her professional life. Kevin Spacey, Alec Baldwin, Olympia Dukakis, and Ricki Lake have cameos in the film. Fortunately for Tess McGill, she does have some emotional and professional support in her best friend Cynthia (Joan Cusack). However, even Cynthia is concerned for her friend Tess on both a personal and professional scale (even as Cynthia helps Tess with her professional masquerade/escapade). Kevin Spacey plays a flirty and shrewd yet sleazy businessman named Bob Speck, Alec Baldwin features as Tess McGill’s love interest Mick Dugan, Olympia Dukakis as a personnel director who helps Tess McGill find gainful employment, and Ricki Lake makes a cameo as a bridesmaid. There are more plot elements and actors/actresses that feature in Working Girl, but I’m intuitively/logically refrain from revealing too much of the plot details.

5.0 out of 5 stars Portable Writing MentorshipMarch 5, 2016
Writing Great Fiction; Storytelling Tips and Techniques by Professor James Hynes is one source that I’m glad I got from the audible website. The first reason; the author generously shared an example from one of his works on how he used dialogue to get the point across for two of the characters. He also mentions how some characters are drafted to be part of the story as well as sometimes the narrator and more. Another positive, this format does give the feeling of being in a writing class and fortunately the audible format lets me listen to this recording either inside my apartment and/or while I’m walking outside. I admit that I’m still learning so much just as other writers are. However, I’m glad to have this audible course to learn from while being in the process of harnessing resources to eventually take more writing classes (whether online and/or in person).

The book Empty Mansions; The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of A Great American Fortune by Bill Dedman, Paul Clark Newell Jr. cover multiple facets of Huguette Clark’s life. Among the following features covered in the Empty Mansions book; Huguette enjoyed collecting Japanese dolls which were part of the Hina collection and go back to the Meiji period and a personal aspect to Huguette Clark’s life that showed her giving spirit. Starting on page 246, there is a mention of a woman named Ninta who Huguette Clark knew since childhood. Ninta had worked as a cook for the Clark family for a while and then later taught dance and French at a private school in Flushing Queens before living on her own in New York City. However, around January 1987 Ninta was now around 82 years old and taken under the care of Huguette Clark after cops called her from the New York police station. The book listed that for at least 13 years Huguette Clark paid at least $200,000 dollars a year towards Ninta’s care.

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Through The Mists; Leaves From The Autobiography of a Soul in Paradise (Life After Death-A Soul in Paradise Book 1) by Robert James Lees contains among the following details; Messengers of Teachers in the afterlife are allowed to give of their strength (I’m guessing the author meant spiritual strength) to people on earth in order to help them spiritually soar. Yes, I understand that a person must also tap into their own soul/higher self/logic/intuition/wisest action, but seeing that passage confirmed what I often guessed (that a person can succeed in obtaining spiritual help from benevolent spiritual forces if they are truly trying to help themselves). The author also mentions a passage in his writings of visting the “Home of Rest” where I’m guessing many spirits visit in the afterlife where they have to recharge. Of course, there is so much more to this book as well as other series that accompany this book also by Robert James Lees-The Life Elysian-More Leaves From the Autobiography of a Soul in Paradise(Life After Death-Soul In Paradise Book 2) and The Gate of Heaven (Book 3). However, I also agree with others that the language of this book necessitates the need for a person to give themselves abundant time (after they purchased the book and/or all three books) to understand the passages (due to the fact that even the first book is listed on Amazon.com to have first been published in the year 1898 and have underwent its twentieth reprinting by the year 1952).
