The Fundamentals of Caring (2016)

Best watch in some time

[8/10 · 24 June 2016]

I love a good movie especially when I have no expectations. I sat down with my kids and was just so surprised by how good this movie really was.

I don't write reviews, but felt I simply had to for this one.

It was pure entertainment from start to finish wonderfully funny and just restored a little bit of faith in the guild of acting and humanity.

If you are in the mood for an up beat feel good movie with a lot of laughs this is a pleasantly easy watch, that the whole family can enjoy.

Well done and thank you.

Pure entertainment!!! One of the best TV series I have ever watched. Strong lead characters with lots of shock and awe value. This historical drama might not be absolutely accurate, but what a ride it is. It will require a strong stomach to watch some scenes but it really stirs the blood and excites the senses.

A farmer who becomes an Earl, An Earl who becomes a King. The man who becomes a legend. Ambition does not really come close to the drive that Ragnar Lothbrok has, totally convinced of his own destiny and having found a new way to navigate the seas he sets off to raid the lands people say do not exist.

If you like good acting, sword play and strong female leads to match their equally strong male counter parts then you will not go wrong with this show.

MUST WATCH for all adults.

Pump Up the Volume (1990)

Wow is all i can say to this movie - this will most likely be the only review I will ever write, after being a long time user of IMDb.

This movie is my favorite for the basic fact that I saw it when I was a teenager, being 17 years old it spoke to me - In a little less dramatic way than that of the movie.

The attitude of defining normal, in a society where conforming is forced. He becomes the voice he was himself searching for, touching the hearts and minds of his peers. And in doing so he goes from a quite, shy, confused out of place teenager to a strong bold lay it all on the line young adult.

Slater has a reserved place in my retro nostalgic memories and I salute him and Mathis for the performance that will forever remind me how awesome young love was and the hope I have that all will experience it in whatever form at at whatever age. And forever reminding me that everyone has a voice, but take care - you are responsible for what you say, because you cant take it back once the words have left your lips.

Peace.
