GIVEAWAY: Gone Girl at the Maple Theater (Detroit area) on 10/2 - 5 winners, ends 9/29

One of the movies coming out next month (October 2014) that I'm very excited about is Gone Girl - not only does it have a great cast (Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike), but I have read the book and it's one that still sticks in my mind, two years later.

The Maple Theater will be screening the film on October 2nd at 8:00pm, before it premieres in theaters, as part of its New York Film Critics Series (NYFCS), and five of my lucky readers can win a pair of tickets to see it for free.

Under pressure from the police and a growing media frenzy, Nick’s portrait of a blissful union begins to crumble. Soon his lies, deceits and strange behavior have everyone asking the same dark question: Did Nick Dunne kill his wife? - 20th Century Fox

      I recently read Dark Places (which is also being turned into a movie, with Charlize Theron in the main role) and I read Gone Girl two years ago. Haven't read Sharp Objects but I've heard it's the weakest of the three.

    This sounds like a really exciting, mysterious movie. Just the type of movie I like. I have yet to read the book. It's on my list.

    I want to see this film, because I love viewing movies of all types.
    No, I have not read the book version by Gillian Flynn, because I don't take the time to read large books with everything else I want to do in the activities of daily living of retirement.

    I want to see this movie because I am a huge fan of suspenseful thriller movies and because of the great cast. Unfortunately I have not read the book for this movie yet. Oftentimes I find that when I read the book before seeing the movie, I am left disappointed with the movie

Movie Review: Baywatch (2017)

Image
I've never seen the TV show that the movie version of Baywatch is based on, but a few of the original cast members are brought back for cameo roles in the movie. The show initially only ran for one season, and then was canceled by NBC; however, it was later picked up through syndication. Baywatch (2017) isn't the first spin-off of the show, but it is the first movie adaptation of it, and it takes place in Florida rather than California.

Mitch Buchannon (Dwayne Johnson) is the Lieutenant lifeguard of Baywatch, and they're looking to expand their team by three people this year. One slot will definitely be going to former Olympian Matt Brody (Zac Efron), who is mandated to be there for community service; the other two slots end up going to Summer Quinn (Alexandra Daddario) and the dedicated but clumsy Ronnie Greenbaum (Jon Bass), who is shocked when he's chosen for the team. However, something's not right currently in the bay - bodies keep washing ashore, as well as…

So we've all been there ... that time when you're on an important phone call, and then the call drops. Or even when you need to use the internet on your smartphone, only to realize that you're at your data limit for the month.

I drive all over the metro Detroit area for movie screenings; because of this, most of the time I know where I'm going, but sometimes, I'm in an unfamiliar area or at an unfamiliar theater and I need GPS to know how to get there and back.


A few months ago, I was headed to the AMC Forum (Sterling Heights area) and I wanted to know the best way to get home from there. My phone kept stalling ... and stalling ... and then the Maps app crashed! Gah! I was extremely frustrated. I was finally able to re-start the phone and get safely home, but it TOOK. SO. LONG. Had the Maps app worked the fir…
