Movies, Comedy, Drama
Recently, I saw a clip from Forrest Gump, and this inspired me to watch the film again. I had these memories of Forrest Gump: he’s not very smart, and he’s best friends with a Black man who he later goes into a fishing business with in the South of the United States. The film holds up even after 30 years. I found it interesting that I had no memory of the love story that is at the center of the entire film.Forrest Gump after 30 years

I watch Jimmy Kimmel opening monologue regularly. I am glad that ABC put him back on air and did not cave to the threat’s of Trump and the FCC chair Brendan Car. Jimmy Kimmel is back on air
Never was I so excited to watch his show. I was filled with anticipation. How would he address public about what happened.
See for yourself.

I am not sure how I became the owner of this book. I found it on my bookshelf this summer.And the birds rained down
The only thing that was clear is that it was bought in my local bookshop because of its label
on the back cover. Did I buy it? I typically do not buy contemporary novels because I want
novels to have withstood the test of time before I give them my attention. Did someone give
it to me as a present? This is possible. I live in the summer, surrounded by woods, in a
wooden house.
Movies, Comedy
The best thing about this rather uninspired romantic comedy is the destination: I wanted to buy a ticket to Bali as I was watching “Ticket to Paradise.” The second best thing is the chemistry between Julia Roberts and George Clooney. You can sense that the two genuinely like each other. As they tell the story, Clooney would only do the film if Roberts was playing the female part they are having fun. Instead of watching the film, travel to Bali. It just moved on my bucket list.Ticket to Paradise
