The Fundamentals of Caring - Movie Review

The Fundamentals of Caring

Movie Review

 

 

If you are looking for something different to watch.

Something on Netflix. Something with the unfairness

of the world in spades. Plenty of anger.

As well as love. Love. Love. Love.

The Fundamentals of Caring.

 

 

This movie has been sitting on My List for some

time. It looked like something to try when I could not

find anything else at all. 

Starring Paul Rudd, about 1 hour 37 minutes.

We ended up enjoying the heck out of this one.

A complete surprise.

I would not recommend with little kids.

But mid teens and up, yes.

There is a lot of language. But there is also a lot

of life. Good, bad and learning.

I hope you will enjoy it! If you watch it, please

let me know what you thought of it!

What We Find by Robyn Carr

What We Find

by Robyn Carr

 

 Not all wonderful stories, movies or writers can make us cry.
Sometimes, it's the readers mood of the day. Or maybe it's just the

writers style. Sometimes, I don't feel the emotion

because the writers style just does not find that in me.

But this one, this writer, this story, they will find it in you.

They will find it all in you.
Maggie is an amazing neurosurgeon. She finds herself burning
out. In need of a break and her father runs a campground.
The perfect place to refuel. Maggie has been there long 
enough to figure it out. She knows what she wants.
She wants it all. As she drove into the parking lot at her
fathers place, she came upon a mess. Picnic tables turned over.
A collapsed tent. A smashed up police cruiser. And people
standing up on the porch staring, telling her to stay in her car.

"There, in the grassy area between the store and the campsites,
the bull was grazing lazily. But it was very clear that before he
settled down to lunch, he'd scared everyone half to death.
She looked a the ceiling of her car. "When I said all, I
wasn't counting on this!"

I won't tell you the rest of that story, but it isn't the most
unusual part of this book. And at least, it isn't a spoiler.

Cal is a drifter just biding his time til the weather improves
enough to get hiking. He is helping out, glad to pay his
own way. And a total mystery. Even his name is a fun mystery.

I have read a number of Robyn Carr books. They are always
a pleasure. Just as this one has been. There is always a lot
of story in each book. Romance. Action (see bull excerpt above).
Family is often a big part. And community. I hope you will
find the time to enjoy this one.
What We Find is book one of the Sullivans Crossing series.

My mom gave me this copy of What We Find.

The Shack - Movie Review

The Shack

Movie Review

 

My husband and I have been looking forward to this movie

for a very long time. He read the book several times quite

a long time ago. I have not read it at all.

We saw the trailer for it a year ago or so.

If you disappeared from the web and have not seen

the trailer for it, here it is.

 

 

It is a movie to make you think. In a good way.

We enjoyed it very much. I will gladly go see it again.

It is not preachy at all.

There is really not much more to say about it.

But I hope you will like it as much as we did.
