Matt Passmore as Logan Nelson
Tobin Bell as Jigsaw/John Kramer
Callum Keith Rennie as Detective Halloran
Hannah Emily Anderson as Eleanor Bonneville
Cle Bennett as Detective Keith Hunt
Laura Vandervoort as Anna


Storyline;
Same as synopsis



Thoughts;
This was a great movie, it really went back to the beginning of the first movie and was a total “who done it” type. It kept you guessing the entire movie.



I still didn't get my “Is John really dead” question answered? I swear we saw him die, but yet he was in this movie and didn't seem dead.

Movie; Delirium (2018) Caution; Spoiler Alert

Delirium







Came out; 2018
Time; 1 Hour 36 minutes
Watched on; Netflix



Rating; R for some violence and disturbing images



IMDB Rating; 5.6/10



Rotten Tomatoes Score; Not Available
Audience Score 48% Liked it



Caution; Spoiler Alert
A man recently released from a mental institute inherits a mansion after his wealthy parents die. After a series of disturbing events, he comes to believe it is haunted



Staring;
Topher Grace as Tom
Patricia Clarkson as Brody
Genesis Rodriguez as Lynn
Callan Mulvey as Alex
Robin Thomas as Father
Daisy McCrackin as Mother


Storyline;
Same as synopsis



Thoughts;
The movie starts out with Tom in a psychiatrist office. He is talking to the man and then is released. We don't have any back story or anything to figure out where this is going and how this happened. He gets let into a house by a probation officer who gives him a small tour. She explains the conditions of his probation and leaves.



Almost immediately strange things start to happen in the house and Tom is seeing images of his dead father all over. He finds a secret door that allows him to walk between the walls and he finds peep holes all over.



Since he isn't allowed to leave he calls a grocery store and then meets Lynn who delivers his order to him. They start talking and we then learn what it is that happened to get him locked up for so long.



When his brother appears is when things start to turn in this movie. It's not known what is “real” and what is truly in Tom's head. Tons of things happen and it's a freaky movie that isn't too long and gets right to the point however I wish they would have revealed what was real and what wasn't.

Thoughts;

I originally thought it was it 15 clam shells, but it was 10 and I received 11 so we are all good!

Some interesting scents. The first two are scents that I don't like at all on cold, especially the one that smells like rubber, it's strange to me.

I am sharing this order with a few people so they can try it as well!

Here is the story behind the name;

Well back in 2015ish my husband started growing a beard and my wax obsession was gaining momentum. Lol so he started researching beard care products. And man they are expensive. So he started looking into oils and found a couple oils he liked then an EO he thought would help with his beard health. So he did human trials on his self for over a year and decided he would give some to friends to try. So he wanted a name that was unique. He wanted to have a connection to beards but Viking, buffalo, goat have all been used a lot. One day when he was listening to some outlaw country a song called Drop Zone came on. And a lyric in that song refers to hunting the Thunder Chicken. Thunder Chicken is hunter slang for turkey of course. And well it stuck.”

I love the name and the story behind the name! How fun is this

Book; Howard Hughes; His Life and Madness (September 17, 2004)

Howard Hughes; His Life and Madness










Author; James B Steele
Came out; September 17, 2004
Read on; Nook App
Rating; Per Amazon 4.1/5



Caution; Spoiler Alert

Howard Hughes has always fascinated the public with his mixture of secrecy, dashing lifestyle, and reclusiveness. This is the book that breaks through the image to get at the man.



Thoughts;
I was sucked into this book by reading the sample on my nook app. The sample gives you a small glimpse of what the book is about, however once I decided to purchase this book and started reading, the only interesting part to me was what I had read in the sample, which both begins and ends this book.



Howard Hughes was going mad in his later life and everything was memo's and written down and that's the majority of what this book was. So much about money, and not in an interesting way.



I found the majority of this book very boring and very hard to read!
