The Ultimate Halloween Horror Movie Play list

Looking for a film to cuddle up with? I have made a horror movie play list for each week this month.

10 Things about Black Mass

1. Depp gives one of his best performances. I forgot many times I was looking at Depp up there on the screen, partially because of his make-up (more on that later) partially because he isn't making a character more like him, he made himself like the character. That isn't something Depp normally gives us.

2. The make up was horrible. Seriously who did the make up? I could visibly see the contour work on Depp. It's called blending. Also what was up with the contacts..it looked like he didnt have pupils. Jesse Plemons looked..odd, his face with bumps and bulges in all of the wrong places.

3. Joel Edergton looks just like Conan O'brian in this movie..so much so I found it distracting.

4. Apparently in the 70's and 80's you could just shoot people in public, including restaurants, and get away with it.

5. There never is much of any connection made about Whitey's brother being a senator and how that happened...exactly. You are going to tell me your brother is a mobster and you were just elected as a senator? Ok then.

6. You are also going to tell me it just so happened that his friend Connely just happened to get into the FBI and just happened to end up back in the neighborhood and just happened to come up with the idea they should "work together". ...Why not..

7. Whitey Bulger has his own IMDB page due to being featured in several shows about crime.

8. Whitey is actually a boring character in this film. We never really get to know about him or what makes him tick, just about the things he does. Sure he is a complete ass you would never want to cross, but WHY is such an ass? Inquiring minds want to know. This is a pretty big flaw in the film.

9. Seriously did they go out of their way to make everyone look HORRIBLE in this film?

10. My actual review. Everyone is going to tell you this film is great, because it is the kind of film people want to say is great. It is the kind of film that wins Oscars, but the film just wasn't that good. i didn't care about any of the characters and i certainly didn't care about Whitey and a film needs someone to root for. Someone you feel is the hero (even if that someone is a bad guy) and someone to be the villain. there was nothing terribly shocking that happened on camera, other than no one ever apparently reporting the various shootings in public. Let's not even get started on the horrible make up..honestly inexcusable on a film with a budget like that. The film wasn't horrible. It is a rental, a movie to watch on Friday night over pizza. All in all I give it a 6. A film that is slightly better than average but in no way a wow film. yes the acting is GREAT, but it just wasnt enough to save a poor script and bad styling.

Yes, America is Great.

Today, being the 14th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the twin towers, I decided I would post on my social media sites an article about why America and more specifically Americans are great. So I "googled"  and found nothing but article after article stating that America was in fact, not great. When did we become..this? When did we switch from a people proud of our accomplishments and proud of each other to a group of victims all waiting to talk about how bad their group has been treated and how much better it is...in every other country in the world. My goodness, maybe Donald Trump is gaining so many followers because he promises greatness and winning. I for one am exhausted with people, American people..bashing the United States.

Allow me to remind those of you who want to disparage this great country, that all country's have a violent past. All of them, Rome was not built without a bit of blood shed. No country is without their sins. If we are so horrible, why do people still dream of coming here, even when they truly love their homeland? I found this article, after looking for quite some time written by an immigrant to this country. It is definitely worth a read, it shows you how those who come to this country view us.

In it he calls America the freest most virtuous nation on earth. I am going to quote a paragraph from this gentleman's article.

 "But if freedom brings out the worst in people, it also brings out the
best. The millions of Americans who live decent, praiseworthy lives
desire our highest admiration because they have opted for the good when
the good is not the only available option. Even amidst the temptations of
a rich and free society, they have remained on the straight path. Their
virtue has special luster because it is freely chosen.

By contrast, the societies that many Islamic fundamentalists seek would
eliminate the possibility of virtue. If the supply of virtue is
insufficient in a free society like America, it is almost non-existent in
an unfree society like Iran."

Our country has long been known as a nation of givers, always falling at the top of lists when it comes to the percentage of us who give to charity. The media isnt going to report on what is going right obviously..they aren't going to tell you about the thousands of volunteers, those who stand by their neighbors in times of trouble, and those who are not afraid to speak their mind when someone needs to speak up.

America, quite frankly, has forgotten how wonderful she is. We have become the high school girl who wasn't asked to prom, our ego bruised and not capable of believing in ourselves. It doesn't make us bad people to believe in ourselves or to believe we are great and that we are capable of great things. On the contrary, I believe that believing in how wonderful we are, believing in what we have accomplished and what we WILL accomplish is essential to us becoming an even greater nation. 

Today Septemper 11, 2015 I hope we can remember how great we are and let the world know we are a country of people who stand united. May God bless those who died during the attacks and may he comfort those left behind.

The Nice Guy Epidemic Overtaking America.

There was a time when it was women who were always looking for relationships. Entire sections of books stores were dedicated to women finding relationships. Now I notice, as I peruse social media,  tons of men bemoaning their single state. OH! and it's never their fault, its always the women. Unlike in the past where women's self help books were all about them becoming more dateable, more desirable to men..men seem to squarely blame women for their bad taste in men because of course women should want to date them. They after-all, are nice guys.

If you are one of those men...what I am going to say next will either hurt your fragile male ego or piss you off but it needs to get through your think skulls.  First off everyone says they are a nice guy. EVERY GUY OUT THERE THINKS THEY ARE A NICE GUY. Its like some kind of damn badge you all wear. "I'm a nice guy."  "Girls don't want to date nice guys."  "I have proof women don't want nice guys." May I ask what a nice guy is exactly? What makes a guy nice? I mean do you think women are out there looking for men who call them bitches and have them rob liquor stores with them? I am unclear as to what you "nice" guys even mean by that statement. To me a nice guy is a man who is honest from the beginning about his intent and does not lead a women on who has more interest in him than he does in her. He ends it even when that might hurt him, because he knows its for the best. That's a nice guy. I mean if women could tell from the get go and read minds I'm pretty sure they wouldn't end up in pointless relationships. In other words, women don't look to get hurt but everyone wants what they can't have. I mean that's why you are alone right now, because instead of pursuing someone who might actually be interested in you...you are going after unicorns. (what I call women realistically out of someones league) You are just like the women you talk about..which leads me to this...

Women are just people. What do women want?? I mean it isn't like we are a collective. We don't all want the same thing. What each woman is attracted to varies from woman to woman. If you just can't seem to get women to go out with you..keep asking more women. Someone will say yes. It's a huge damn world and its a numbers game. Stop complaining and get real.

Do you really know why you can't get the girls you are interested in? Are you ready for the truth? You want a 9 and you are a 4. (metaphorically speaking) Be more realistic about who you chase. I mean you can chase nines all you want but that may not be what you can actually get. Just because a girl talks to you or even agrees to dinner and drinks doesn't mean she is ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU. Why do we need to tell men this, as a women I know that. I get that, why don't you guys. Get over it. It's just how things are. I see men who really need to work on themselves and they wonder why no one wants to go out with them. A better question is, why would someone want to date you?  Why? Your not getting used men, you are setting yourself up for failure....AND I know its hard to believe but women have things they find attractive physically and the woman you are chasing just may not find you physically attractive. The end. I know its hard to believe that woman can be so shallow. We are just as shallow as you guys. Remember that and life will go way smoother. I see men who think they can buy girls. You can't because in the end they will still be looking for something else and you can't have a successful relationship with someone who ultimately thinks they could have done better. You can't buy love. Let me say that one more time YOU CAN'T BUY LOVE. Not with money, gifts, deeds, or friendship. A person is either attracted to you or they arent attracted to you. If they arent, move the hell on. Oh, you know some friends who eventually dated, got married and had kids? Wonderful. That isn't going to happen to you. You want to get more girls?  Put down books like this...http://www.nomoremrniceguy.com/ and read this article http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-harsh-truths-that-will-make-you-better-person/

Why the hell do I even have to say this? Why do I see so many men complaining on social media these days anyway? Have some freaking dignity. Stop whining about women. (while I find you guys amusing, you guys are seriously very funny) Its unattractive.
