Older movie with Harrison Ford that I'd seen before but it's quite nice. I didn't recall the ending the way it was though. |

Dark Waters
I hadn't a clue what it was about, except for something with a lawyer. Turns out it is a true story, concerning an American chemical plant who produces Teflon among other things, which until recently contained highly toxic substance. Bloody unreal it had to take some 20 years to get this chit sussed in court. Unfortunately we have a plant here in The Netherlands too. Apparently almost every living being on the planet has PFOA in their system, and 99% of human beings. Shocking... |

Not a new film but I had to replace the copy I had. The 13th Warrior with Antonio Banderas, really gripping.

I just watched A Star is Born. I didn't like it that much. That was the movie with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. I couldn't hear the dialog very well, and I don't have a hearing problem. It was okay.

Read the Short Story online, for free http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/cs.aspx This newest take starring Nic Cage is pretty good. There were times the color was over-powering but I think that was the intended effect. I'm keeping it for more watches (always see something new on additional watches) plus, it has creature designs in it I want to study. |

I loved that movie Cat. I am such a fan of both Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. In American Sniper, Bradley Cooper won my heart. True, it is very sad, but addictions are very self destructive |
