Movie review: Divergent: Insurgent( 101 % special)
Tris is Divergent. Not ten percent. Not forty percent. She is one hundred percent Divergent according to the Divergent scanner.

Henry and Kristl have a brush with The last stand (2013)
“That was an explosive movie.” Henry gave Kristl a broad smile knowing full well from her face where this review was heading, “Never mind about the plot holes and the lack of anything that resembles a coherent plausible story, but that is the beauty of the thing. Bang away!” “Is it me or has scrip […]

Henry and Kristl are awed by The Great Dictator.
“Chaplin’s masterpiece?” Henry asked. “Uh. Modern Times is a good movie too. There are also others. Like The tramp and I belief…eh” “City Lights?” “That one.” “The Kid?” “Oh.. I guess.” “Figured an commie like you would name Modern Times.” Henry smiled. “Eh?” “You mentioned Modern Times. A commie would like it. The movie is […]
