Stephen King is the most adapted author of his generation. His work has been hitting the screen since his first novel, Carrie, was translated to film in 1976, and the adaptations haven't really slowed down since that launching point. If anything, they've sped up, as evidenced by everything from the two-part IT film series to Hulu's Castle Rock to the most recent adaptation, Mike Flanagan's film version of Doctor Sleep. King is so frequently adapted that Carrie has been made into a film three different times, and one of his short stories, "Children of the Corn," spawned a film franchise that's stretched across 30 years and ten different movies.
The dozens of adaptations of his work over the last four decades prove that King has struck a nerve with filmmakers, even if they're not all able to pay back that favor with a good adaptations. The filmmakers that do manage to make good movies, even masterpieces, out of King's works, are the ones with either a firm understanding of the underlying cinematic power of his language or the huge heart present in his voice. The very best King films, listed from worst to best below, are good enough to do both.
Gerald's Game is one of King's most conceptually daring novels, and depending on who you ask, the boldness didn't exactly pay off. It's the story of a woman who's left to fight for survival after her husband suddenly has a heart attack during a sex game at their secluded lake house. When he dies, she's left handcuffed to the bed, and as hallucinations set, in she's forced to reckon with her past while fighting for her future.
King stretched this intriguing hook into an entire novel by having much of its conflict play out entirely in a single desperate character's mind, making it both a challenging book for even longtime fans and an especially confounding story for anyone trying to make a visually arresting film out of it. Somehow, Mike Flanagan Oculus pulled it off. His film version of Gerald's Game — anchored by a commanding performance from Carla Gugino — is somehow both a streamlined version of King's narrative and a more expansive take on the story that delves into the nature of trauma, memory, and the lies we tell ourselves just to get through a day. It's a rare adaptation that's arguably a better version of the story than its source material.
IT is a novel about a group of friends during two very distinct periods in their lives, with a 27-year gap between one pivotal childhood summer and their dark reunion to battle an ancient evil decades later. Director Andy Muschietti and company decided these two eras should be largely split into two different films, in contrast to King's constant interweaving of them on the page. It was a gamble, and while it didn't always work for 2019's IT Chapter Two, the gamble paid off in magical ways for the initial installment in 2017.
Though the film moves the childhood action from the 1950s to the 1980s, Muschietti's adaptation retains the sense of nostalgia-smeared mythology the book instills in its ensemble. With an immensely charismatic cast of young actors, IT makes the jump to the screen with a few key changes, but the heart of the story remains an epic saga of a group of weird kids who set out to hunt down a monster. Throw in Bill Skarsgard's unforgettable take on Pennywise the Dancing Clown, and you've got a new King classic.

Pet Sematary is, famously, the novel that even King thought might be too horrifying to publish. With this chilling story about a family in the midst of tragedy and the supernatural force that could offer a way out, King felt that he'd pushed himself into particularly uncomfortable territory. Readers agreed, but they were still happy to devour the novel and its grim story of what happens when a grieving father tries to cheat death. Mary Lambert's film adaptation, scripted by King himself, sets out to retain this sense of creeping discomfort, and succeeds in just about every frame. The film is skin-crawlingly effective, from the peaceful country bliss we know will soon be shattered to that final disgusting gore effect.
In On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, King describes the conception of the story that would become Misery, and reveals that he initially thought of it as a rather gruesome short story with a sad ending for stranded novelist Paul Sheldon. Fortunately for all of us, King is not a writer who likes to marry himself to a rigid plot outline, and Paul Sheldon managed to find a way to survive the devastating devotion of his number one fan, Annie Wilkes. Misery succeeds, as both a novel and a film, in no small part because King is able to create the seat-of-your-pants sense that the story could all go horribly wrong at any second, no matter how many pages you have left.
Director Rob Reiner retains that feeling for the film adaptation, weaving a taut thriller out of a stripped down story about two people who are each willing to go as far as it takes to get what they want. Of course, Misery doesn't work without two dynamite actors in the leading roles, and it's here that the movie is left is in the capable hands of Kathy Bates and James Caan. They trade blows for 100 pulse-pounding minutes, making this movie so much more than just that one, stomach-churning scene everyone knows about.
Though he will forever be known as the man who dreamed up haunted hotels and vampire boys tapping on windows for many readers, King's greatest asset as a composer of fiction might be his knack for voice. This is one of the reasons that one of his novellas, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, is so compelling to begin with, and perhaps the best decision Frank Darabont ever made as a filmmaker was to retain the novella's narrative voice for the movie. The Shawshank Redemption's success begins and ends with the soothing, soulful narration of Morgan Freeman's Red. The stirring visuals, sensational ensemble cast, and gorgeous Thomas Newman score do a lot of the heavy lifting along the way, but it's Red's voice — much of it lifted directly from King's text — that makes the film truly soar. Sometimes adapting prose to film is a lot like cooking: find the best ingredients you can, and do as little to them as possible.
The Dead Zone is one of King's best novels, and also among his most unwieldy when it comes to cinematic translation. It's the story of an ordinary man so ordinary that his name is actually John Smith with the extraordinary power to see the future when he touches someone, which already means much of the most exciting stuff is taking place in one guy's head. Throw in the sprawling timeline of the book, and it's a tricky thing to get up onscreen indeed.
Director David Cronenberg, producer Debra Hill, and writer Jeffrey Boam somehow made it work. Their version of The Dead Zone is a heavily abbreviated version of King's story, so much so that the primary antagonist Martin Sheen as a morally bankrupt politician doesn't show up until halfway through the movie. Copious edits aside, though, they retain the frightening spirit of King's original work, thanks in no small part to Christopher Walken as Johnny Smith. When you get an actor who always looks like something strange is going on just behind his eyes to begin with, you're halfway to where you want to be. Cronenberg's precise direction does the rest.
Stephen King is so good at what he does that he can pitch you things like "a kid buys a car that turns out to be haunted and can repair itself between murders" and then somehow make them work on the page even as you might be scoffing at the logline. Christine works like gangbusters on the page, but coming up with a convingly evil car for the big screen was another story, especially in 1983.
Fortunately for everyone involved, John Carpenter is also the kind of horror storyteller who can come up with a wild idea on the page "guy sees aliens through magic sunglasses," etc. and then pull it off onscreen. His Christine is fast-paced, playful, and truly scary thanks to both Carpenter's expert pacing and the convincingly menacing antics of the car itself. Leave it to John Carpenter and Stephen King to make a Plymouth Fury popping dents out of its own hood into something truly nightmarish.
The Shawshank Redemption is a basic cable staple, so it's often held up as the first and only necessary evidence that Stephen King can do more than just horror. As great as Shawshank is, though, it's not the only proof of King's ability to tell a non-scary story, nor is it the best. That honor belongs to Rob Reiner's adaptation of King's novella, The Body, which appeared in the same collection as the Shawshank story, Different Season. Stand By Me is the story of four friends who embark on a two-day adventure to find a dead body out in the Oregon woods, and the dangers and personal struggles they encounter along the way. The wonderful ensemble — led by Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O'Connell — carries the film through its emotional beats, but its greatest asset seems to be Reiner's ability to know exactly which heartstring to pluck at any given time, like some kind of tearjerking virtuoso. It's a beautifully realized, nostalgic gem.
No other horror film has been studied, dissected, and mythologized quite like Stanley Kubrick's The Shining has. This movie is so lodged in our collective pop culture consciousness that an entire movie exists that's just about how fascinated some people are with The Shining. It's that ubiquitous and that impactful. Watching the film now, nearly 40 years after its initial release, it's still easy to see why. The Shining is a masterpiece of strange, sustained tension and judicious use of the supernatural. It's a textbook example of how to create a dread-inducing atmosphere out of a single location, and remains a masterpiece of the genre. There's no denying The Shining's impact or its masterful depiction of a man slowly unraveling in a supposedly haunted hotel. As an adaptation of a Stephen King work, though, it leaves something to be desired, and King hasn't been shy about saying so. The liberties the film takes with King's overall plot are fine, and often they're improvements Jack Torrance freezing to death in a hedge maze is more memorable than Jack Torrance dying in a boiler explosion, but the fundamental thematic core of the book feels tampered with, and that's enough to just edge The Shining out of first place here.
Carrie, King's debut novel, is a lean, mean thriller about a girl who's so disliked at her high school that she's bullied for being frightened by her first period, who then manages to exact revenge thanks to telekinetic powers she's only just learning to use. It's a slim book and therefore lends itself to a fast-paced film adaptation, but where other filmmakers might have simply delivered a solid thriller, Brian De Palma instead turned Carrie into an ultra-stylized, operatic bloodbath that's as funny as it is scary. Led by Sissy Spacek in the title role and a mesmerizing Piper Laurie as Carrie's overbearing mother, the film version of Carrie takes King's high-school-as-hell metaphors and writes them even larger and louder. The moment when Carrie's gauzy, dreamlike prom queen celebration descends into blood-drenched madness is a perfect encapsulation of the film's bold, relentless aesthetic. De Palma knew exactly what kind of film Carrie would make, and he didn't miss a step in giving it to us.
Netflix has a lot of cooking and baking shows, but in my humble opinion, the best of the best is Nailed It! The series takes a group of very unprofessional bakers and asks them to recreate fancy, Instagram-ready treats. The results are disastrous. That may sound like a mean-spirited show that mocks its contestants, but Nailed It! is actually very good-natured. We're not laughing at the terrible bakers – we're laughing with them. Nailed It! already unleashed one holiday special upon us, and now they're about to drop another one. Watch the Nailed It! Holiday! season 2 trailer below.
If you've never watched Nailed It! on Netflix, I urge you to check it out there are also several spin-offs, like Nailed It! France and Nailed It! Mexico. It's a funny, charming, and altogether wholesome show, and a surefire cure for the blues disclaimer: I'm not suggesting a TV baking show can cure clinical depression because that would just be silly.
Now that Halloween is over we're officially in the holiday season like it or not, and if you're already in the midst of full-blown holiday anxiety, here comes Nailed It! Holiday! to ease some of the tension. Here's the rundown:
Grab your loved ones because Nailed It! Holiday! is back! The messes are-a-plenty as St. Nicole and Jacques Frost deliver the best of the worst baking fails this season. Whether wrecking the halls or destroying the dreidel, jaws drop as the bakers attempt all new challenges inspired by the holidays.

Director Mike Flanagan has a knack for crafting spine-tingling cinema, which is probably why he is so adept at adapting the work of legendary horror writer Stephen King. With the recently released Doctor Sleep, his second Stephen King adaptation after 2017's Netflix exclusive Gerald's Game, it is certainly an enticing prospect to learn that Flanagan is already in conversation about returning to the Stephen King universe for a third time.
Mike Flanagan has discussed these conversations, and revealed the fact that they are happening with none other than Stephen King himself.
Sounds very intriguing, indeed. Thanks to this tease from the director, speculation is sure to be rife as to which Stephen King project the two have been discussing, with many fans hoping it will be their favourite King tale that will be lucky enough to get the silver screen treatment. Flanagan then went on to talk about his admiration for King, and how fortunate he feels to be able to adapt his stories, even suggesting that he could end up doing a lot more than three.
Mike Flanagan has made his name with horror flicks, and clearly intends to continue to do so. With Doctor Sleep getting great reviews, currently sitting at a fresh 75% on Rotten Tomatoes, and having been very well received by both audiences and critics alike, his return to the world of King is one to equally be terrified of and celebrate.
Doctor Sleep is the continuation of Danny Torrance's story 40 years after the terrifying events of Stephen King's The Shining. Still irrevocably scarred by the trauma he endured as a child at the Overlook, Dan Torrance has fought to find some semblance of peace. But that peace is shattered when he encounters Abra, a courageous teenager with her own powerful extrasensory gift, known as the "shine."

Instinctively recognizing that Dan shares her power, Abra has sought him out, desperate for his help against the merciless Rose the Hat and her followers, The True Knot, who feed off the shine of innocents in their quest for immortality. Forming an unlikely alliance, Dan and Abra engage in a brutal life-or-death battle with Rose. Abra's innocence and fearless embrace of her shine compel Dan to call upon his own powers as never before-at once facing his fears and reawakening the ghosts of the past.

The term "action movie" runs the spectrum of CGI explosion-filled spectacles and highly choreographed fight scenes to movies with heroes who deliver cheesy one-liners right before the last rocket-powered grenade is fired. It can mean shutting your brain off, or it can mean complex stories that use action to benefit the plot.
Luckily, Netflix has most subgenres covered when it comes to good action films, whether you want kung fu, superhero-ing, or anything in between. Here are the 20 best action movies on Netflix streaming right now, so grab some popcorn and enjoy.

Warner Bro 1. The Matrix 1999
Run Time: 136 min | IMDb: 8.7/10 The Wachowskis created one of the greatest sci-fi films in cinematic history with their mind-bending Matrix trilogy, but the original is hard to top. Keanu Reeves plays Neo, a young man unplugged from the matrix — a kind of alternate reality that keeps humans docile, so machines can harvest their life energy. He teams up with a band of rebels fighting the machines Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus and Carrie-Ann Moss as Trinity and faces off against a henchman named Agent Smith Hugo Weaving. The real draw of this trilogy, besides its inventive storyline, is the CGI display. The movie also sports some of the most imaginative fight sequences you'll ever see on the big screen.
Sony 2. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2000
Run Time: 120 min | IMDb: 7.9/10
Ang Lee's Oscar-winning martial arts flick defied the odds to become one of the most influential films in the genre, crossing multicultural barriers and introducing audiences to some great talents in the international acting world. The film follows the story of Li Mu Bai, an accomplished Wudang swordsman who retires his legendary weapon only to be pulled back into a battle with his arch-nemesis, a woman who killed his master years earlier and seeks to claim his sword for her own. There's more happening plot-wise — Bai has a love interest in another skilled warrior, Yu Shu Lien, and they're both forced to face off against a Wudang prodigy that's been studying under their enemy — but the real draw here is the perfectly-mapped-out fight sequences, which include just enough special effect to be awe-inducing, but not too much to distract from the beautiful choreography that Lee puts on display.
AMC 3. Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse 2018
Run Time: 117 min | IMDb: 8.5/10
The Oscar-winning animated film is making its way to Netflix this summer, which means if you didn't get a chance to see it in theaters, you no longer have to wonder what all the hype is about. The story follows a young kid named Miles, who becomes the web-slinging hero of his reality, only to cross paths with other iterations of Spider-Man across different dimensions that help him defeat a threat posed to all realities. Mahershala Ali, John Mulaney, and Jake Johnson make up the film's talented voice cast, but it's the striking visuals and daring story-telling technique that really serves the film well.
Columbia 4. Black Hawk Down 2001
Run Time: 144 min | IMDb: 7.7/10
Ridley Scott's 2001 war drama boasts an impressive ensemble cast and a gripping true story, two essentials to any great war film. Josh Hartnett, Eric Bana, Ewan McGregor, Tom Hardy, Tom Sizemore, Sam Shephard, and a host of other A-listers star in this re-telling of the infamous Battle of Mogadishu, a 1993 raid by U.S. troops in Somalia that ended in tragedy. The objective of the mission was to capture a rebel leader responsible for inciting violence and genocide in the country. The film details all of the unfortunate circumstances that led to U.S. troops being pinned down in a remote village in Somalia, being forced to fight for their lives without backup, and ultimately, causing the U.S. government to decide to pull troops from the area. Hartnett gives a credible leading man performance as the young officer in charge of his first command, and the film finds its footing when it focuses on its main characters — men trying to survive in a hostile environment despite impossible odds.
Marvel/Disney 5. Black Panther 2018
Run Time: 134 min, IMDb: 7.4/10
Ryan Coogler's superhero flick revolutionized the Marvel Universe when it landed earlier this year, so it's only right that we're given the option to watch it over and over again. The film gives us a fully-realized, otherworldly Wakanda as it follows the trials and tribulations of a newly-minted king, T'Challa Chadwick Boseman. While trying to govern his people and embrace is Black Panther alter-ego, he's also got to fight off a would-be usurper in Michael B. Jordan's Erik Killmonger, who may just be the best villain Marvel has ever seen. And Coogler gives the women plenty to do in this as well with the Dora Milaje — T'Challa's all-female guard — and Lupita Nyong'o's badass spy getting ample screen time.
Columbia TriStar 6. Lock, Stock, And Two Smoking Barrels 1998
Run Time: 107 min | IMDb: 8.2/10
Guy Ritchie and Matthew Vaughn pair up for this British comedy about a group of friends who become entangled in a turf war of sorts after a card game gone wrong. Eddy Nick Moran is a card shark who buys into a high-stake game hosted by a mob boss named Harry. The game is rigged, and Eddy and his friends soon owe hundreds of thousands of dollars to the gang. To score the cash, they decide to rob a rival gang, who in turn have stolen money and weed from some local cannabis suppliers. Eventually, all of this thieving leads to shootouts and brawls over money, drugs, and two antique shotguns. Ritchie put himself and Jason Statham on the map with this one, patenting a fast-action, quick-witted type of storytelling that works well here and is a hell of a lot of fun to watch.
Radius-TWC 7. Snowpiercer 2013
Run Time: 126 min, IMDb: 7.1/10
Chris Evans stars in this sci-fi thriller from auteur Bong Joon-ho. The film, set years into the future following a devastating ice age caused by mankind, follows Evans' Curtis who lives in poverty on a train that continuously circles the Earth and contains all that remains of human life. Curtis is part of the "scum" that the people relegated to the back of the train while the "elite" enjoy the privilege of wealth and status that comes with living in the front. Curtis sparks a rebellion that ends in bloodshed and a devastating reveal when he makes it to the train's engine room and discovers just how the elite have been fueling their operation. It's a dark, grimy action piece that should give fans a new appreciation for Evans' talent.
Marvel 8. Thor: Ragnarok 2017
Run Time: 130 min | IMDb: 7.9/10
Before Black Panther became one of the highest grossing films in the Marvel Universe, Chris Hemsworth's hammer-loving hero gave the superhero franchise a much-needed dose of humor and fun with Thor: Ragnarok. Directed by Taika Waititi, the film follows the Asgardian warrior as he tries to save his home from the brutal reign of his long-lost sister Hela a wickedly good Cate Blanchett and fight his way out of off-planet gladiator pits with the help of the Hulk Mark Ruffalo and a Valkyrie played by Tessa Thompson.
Sony 9. Kung Fu Hustle 2004
Run Time: 99 min | IMDb: 7.8/10
The early aughts action-comedy borrows elements from famous Kung Fu films of the '70s and pairs them with a completely ridiculous plot and some impressive cartoon-style fight sequences to produce a wholly original flick that we guarantee you'll marvel at. The film follows the exploits of two friends, Sing and Bone, who impersonate gang members in the hopes of joining a gang themselves and inadvertently strike up a gang war that nearly destroys the slums of the city. Of course, the real draw here is the absurdist, over-the-top comedy that takes place during some of the film's biggest action sequences. It's laugh-out-loud funny, but only if you check your brain at the door.
Miramax 10. Sin City 2005
Run Time: 124 min | IMDb: 8/10
Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez team up for this stylish crime thriller drowning in corruption, comic book references, and A-list actors playing varying degrees of anti-hero. Based on the first, third, and fourth books in Miller's original series, the film jumps between three different stories all set in the seedy underworld of Basin City. Bruce Willis plays an aging police officer framed for crimes he didn't commit and who must protect a young woman he's come to love. Clive Owen plays a vigilante who protects prostitutes from bad guys. And Mickey Rourke plays a man seeking revenge for the death of his lover. It's a lot of action and bloodshed, all done in Miller's signature tone and Rodriguez' recognizable flair.
Weinstein Company 11. Inglourious Basterds 2009
Run Time: 153 min | IMDb: 8.3/10
Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger, Christoph Waltz, and Eli Roth star in Quentin Tarantino's imaginative World War II drama about a group of Jewish U.S. soldiers with a plan to assassinate Hitler. The film flip-flops between Pitt's Southern-accented Lt. Aldo Raine's mission to scalp Nazis and blow-up an exclusive event for SS officers in Paris and French actress Melanie Laurent, who plays a theater-owner with a devious plan of her own. It's full of mesmerizing performances and Tarantino's unique brand of humor — oh, and a lot of Nazi killing.
Universal Pictures 12. Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World 2010
Run Time: 112 min | IMDb: 7.5/10
Edgar Wright's 2010 action comedy about a hapless boy, who must defeat evil ex-boyfriends in order to win the hand of the girl he loves, is a fast-paced ride that bombards the senses. Michael Cera plays a loveable goof in the titular hero, a young man enamored with a woman named Ramona Flowers Mary Elizabeth Winstead. In order to be with his lady love, Scott takes on her exes six guys, one girl that challenge him to truly strange contests. The film is a cinematic mash-up of Japanese anime and gamer culture, intended for the crowd who grew up on Nintendo and comic books, but it brings plenty of overall laughs all the same.
FilmDistrict 13. Olympus Has Fallen 2013
Run Time: 119 min | IMDb: 6.5/10
Gerard Butler proves he's still got it playing Mike Banning, a disgraced Secret Service agent who's pulled back in the fold when a terrorist attack on the White House puts the president's life in danger. Aaron Eckhart plays the Commander-in-Chief, who can also kick a surprising amount of butt, but most of the heroics are saved for Butler's Banning, who uses his inside knowledge of the White House to foil a highly-organized raid by a group of trained killers looking to set off America's nukes.
Paramount 14. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 1989
Run Time: 127 min | IMDb: 8.2/10
Set fives years after Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade marks Indiana Jones' journey to rescue and reunite with his estranged father, a historian who goes missing after searching for the Holy Grail. Harrison Ford returns to play the swashbuckling archeologist while Sean Connery — most famous for his role as James Bond at the time — plays Indy's absentee father. Most of the fun in this film can be chalked up to the pair's chemistry. Indy and his dad don't get along and their bickering, even as they're avoiding assassins and tracking down ancient relics, is played up for laughs, rightly so.
Disney/Lucasfilm 15. Star Wars: The Last Jedi 2017
Run Time: 152 min, IMDb: 7.3/10
There's always going to be backlash when a studio decides to revive a beloved franchise and take it in a new direction but The Last Jedi continues to anger space fanboys everywhere and honestly, we're not sure what their gripe is. Rian Johnson gave us a masterclass in how to take something old and make it new again with his interpretation, injecting a bit of fun and fantasy into the age-old story. Mindblowing Jedi fights, Force connections, Porg, and Artic Foxes, the movie has something for everyone and it challenges both old and new characters alike with interesting arcs and climactic moments. Plus, did we mention Porgs?
Columbia 16. Bad Boys 1995
Run Time: 119 min | IMDb: 6.9/10
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence star in this foul-mouthed buddy comedy film as two detectives tasked with protecting a witness while investigating a case of stolen heroin from their own precinct's evidence storage facility. Marcus Lawrence and Mike Smith have been friends since childhood and are now working the beat together in Miami. When $100 million of heroin goes missing from their unit's storage facility, they're sent to track down who might have taken it before Internal Affairs intercedes. Smith and Lawrence have an easy, lived-in chemistry that really sells this thing, and the action's not too bad either.
Columbia 17. Hellboy 2004
Run Time: 122 min | IMDb: 6.9/10
Sure, Stranger Things star David Harbour is about to make the Hellboy franchise cool again, but before the Internet's sweetheart dons the horns and the fist, why not revisit this masterpiece starring Ron Perlman? Not only does Perlman easily sell a devil-may-care attitude while he's hammering bad guys in the face, battling Russian sorcerers, killing Nazis, and tangling with tentacled behemoths, but Guillermo del Toro directs this thing, which means the visuals are just as spell-binding as the action.
Mandarin Films 18. Ip Man 2008
Run Time: 106 min | IMDb: 8/10
In a town filled with aspiring martial artists, the best of the best is Ip Man, a father and husband who just wants to keep his quiet way of life even in the midst of the Japanese occupation of China. In discovering that sometimes fighting is the only way to keep the peace, Ip inspires many by taking a stand during war-torn times. As a subtle reflection on war mixed with a healthy dose of fast-paced, mesmerizing combat, Ip Man is actually based on the real life of Yip Man, the grand master who trained Bruce Lee.
Miramax Films 19. Equilibrium 2002
Run Time: 107 min | IMDb: 7.5/10
Christian Bale and Season Bean star in this Sci-Fi drama set in an oppressive future where all forms of emotion are outlawed. Bale plays a man named John Preston, who's charged with enforcing the law but when he accidentally forgets to take a dose of the medicine that suppresses feelings and artistic expression, he begins to question the system he upholds and eventually, leads an uprising.
Columbia 20. xXx 2002
Run Time: 124 min | IMDb: 5.9/10
Vin Diesel takes a break from jacking cars to play extreme-sports junkie Xander Cage in this action thriller with Samuel L. Jackson. Cage is recruited by the NSA to take down a Russian terrorist group planning to unleash a chemical weapon on major cities around the world. In exchange for clearing his criminal record, Cage spies on the group, learning their plans while performing some death-defying stunts. Diesel is the quintessential action man in this one, hooking up with girls, kicking a**, and saving the world, but the fight scenes and action sequences are just inventive enough to keep you interested.

The title screen for "Oprah's Book Club" on Apple TV+ is a portrait in serenity. Reclining on a divan, wearing what I can only fantasize is very, very expensive cashmere in lush neutral tones, Oprah Winfrey is relaxing — Apple Watch on her wrist, iPad in her hand — and reading a book.
That book, we're to believe, is Ta-Nehisi Coates' "The Water Dancer," Winfrey's latest selection for her book club, which started as a segment on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in 1996. The segment has evolved and expanded over the years, and now includes significant online engagement; this new incarnation debuted as a one-hour show last week on Apple TV+.
Yes, "Oprah's Book Club" is product placement on a number of levels — but it doesn't seem forced or vulgar. This is the future of commerce-based entertainment: It's well-produced, it's interesting, and it seamlessly incorporates social media to create a community. It is hard to overemphasize how important the show is to book publishers — 50 million books have been sold after Oprah's blessing, by her own count — and this imprimatur will definitely help purchases on the Apple Books application.
I'm still in awe of that first sentence in The Water Dancer, which as you know was a full paragraph. Sharing over lunch with @lupitanyongo and @cynthiaerivo. Both who've portrayed enslaved women. Head to @oprahsbookclub for our full discussion
The Star Wars franchise has long worn its Japanese influences on its sleeves. From the kimono-like robes of its Jedi, to the pseudo-Japanese names, to the Akira Kurosawa homages, as well as the roots of the Force in Eastern mysticism and philosophies, Lucas owes a lot to the country. For further proof, George Lucas initially wanted to cast longtime Kurosawa collaborator Toshiro Mifune as Obi-Wan Kenobi.
So it's fitting that Star Wars will come full circle and turn all that Japanese narrative subtext into text. An official Star Wars kabuki adaptation is in the works, with the stage play set to premiere in Tokyo later this month.
Ichikawa Ebizo XI, one of the most famous and popular kabuki performers in Japan, will be adapting Star Wars into a kabuki stage play, according to Mantan Web via Nerdist. Ichikawa will supervise the production of the kabuki adaptation and star as Kylo Ren "in the generational portrayal." The kabuki production will only cover the new trilogy and will reportedly "feature key scenes" from each of the new movies, including the upcoming Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
" Star Wars Kabuki will depict the love and loss felt by the Skywalker family over the past 40-plus years," Ichikawa said in a press release about the upcoming performance. "Whether you 're a Star Wars lover or a kabuki lover, it 's a great piece to enjoy."
The full title for the kabuki production is Star Wars Kabuki-Rennosuke Hikarigatana Sanbon, which roughly translates to Star Wars Kabuki-Ren and Three Light Sabers. It's a title that suggests the kabuki play will shift the focus to Kylo Ren away from than the new trilogy's protagonist, Rey. Who are the Three Light Sabers? Perhaps Kylo, Rey, and Luke? Or the three sad Skywalker men whose tragic arcs have defined the series, Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker, and Kylo? The latter seems to be more the case considering modern kabuki's male-heavy casts.
Kabuki is considered one of the most beautiful traditional Japanese theater traditions, characterized by its elaborate make-up and costumes, and ened dance-drama performances. The performances are usually set in the samurai era, though can extend to other eras — in this case, a galaxy far, far away. I wonder if this Star Wars kabuki adaptation will go full sci-fi and feature futuristic costumes of Stormtroopers and droids, but it would also not be difficult for Ichikawa to transplant the story to medieval Japan. The narrative's Eastern influences are threaded throughout the new films, and the visuals of The Last Jedi especially are not far off from the bold, ened designs of kabuki.

If I ever heard that Hal Holbrook was going to be performing "Mark Twain Tonight" anywhere that I could get to, I got there. It was invariably a superb invocation of the old man himself, complete with white linen suit, handlebar mustache, and a Havana cigar. I remember it taking him about ten minutes to tell a story about a billy goat spotting a man bending over: talking as he meticulously prepared and lit a cigar (requiring several matches that burned down during his monolog), while the audience sat transfixed by the whole process. There'll never be another as good.
But, it was the content of what Twain had to say, as well as the silly stories, that's lingered with me. The bit I remember best, which bubbles up frequently these days, is Twain's claim to be the moral superior of George Washington. As well as I can recall: I don't tell lies. I differ from George Washington. I have a higher and grander standard of principle. George could not tell a lie. I can. But I won't. Oh, I used to tell lies. But I've given it up. The field is overrun with amateurs. Probably his best-known adage, as well, is, "If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything."
There's a more serious side to Twain's discourse on lying. The most damnable lie, he said, is the silent lie. Nowadays we call it the elephant in the room. For him, as an ardent anti-slavery advocate, the silence from the pulpits of the churches of his day during and after emancipation was a far greater offense to the truth than actively telling a lie.
Do any of us watching, say, "Law and Order," really believe that the witness who has just sworn to tell the truth, actually will? It's a sadly foregone conclusion among us that lying, even under oath, is pretty much expected. That's a more dangerous normalcy than we can imagine.
A Cree elder, deposed a few years ago during the hearings to allow HydroQuebec, was asked the usual question, "Do you swear ... etc?" He literally had no concept of the truth as something outside himself. "I don't know what this 'truth' is you're talking about," he said. "I can tell you only what I know."
I learned to lie at a young age — I prefer to think of it as the nascence of a gift for telling stories. My parents were deaf, so had to rely on physical evidence and the testimony of me and my sister (often conflicting) to determine the facts of the misdemeanors in question. They were also, if I may say so, old-fashioned moralists. Early on, I had to decide quickly, and under stress, whether the penalty for confessing a sin would be greater than the penalty of getting caught in a lie designed to avoid confessing.
Those habits died hard. As I watch the obvious lies and prevarications of Washington luminaries enlivening the media these days, I can see clearly that they die hard for others, as well. Have they never read the conclusions of experts: that the offense is but a small percentage of the damage, and the cover-up almost all of it? Judges, when instructing juries about to consider decisions on complicated questions, sometimes urge them simply to "use common sense." Employing that yardstick, I don't have to work very hard to wonder why so many associates of the president are unwilling to testify under oath. And I can't help but notice that almost anyone who enters a working relationship with the current world champion of public prevarication is almost invariably infected with that same, seemingly airborne, contagion.
Lying, like cheating to win or avoid detection is foolish, anyway. Let's imagine that nobody tumbled to Rosie Ruiz's subway marathon deception; what joy could she have lived with? Or what might Lance Armstrong be dreading if he still were living with the fear of being exposed as a doper? Or what sort of life could Richard Nixon have enjoyed knowing that the damning office tapes were still behind him somewhere, ready to destroy his reputation? Living with lies is an arduous business and, as Mark Twain implied, can require a prodigious memory and constant vigilance.
In recent years, as I begin to face that I'm not going anywhere special, I've felt the impulse to lie diminish markedly (except, perhaps, to the occasional constable who asks if I know how fast I was going). I like to remember the remark of Robert Frost's old Witch of Coös, who's lived for decades with the bones of a murdered man in her cellar. Her son says, "We never could tell whose bones they were." His mother gently remonstrates: "Yes, we could too, son. Tell the truth for once...tonight I don't care enough to lie — I don't know why I ever cared." It doesn't matter how you dress up a lie — in obfuscation, gas-lighting, or diversion. It's still a prevarication, a lovely word that in its original Latin praevaricari, means to walk crookedly. That crooked walking makes our lives a lot livelier, but, as we can see every day now, it's best kept for small infractions involving cookie jars, and not for matters of national moment.

Bettors aren't buying that a long layoff will affect the Cleveland Cavaliers when they hit the court for Game 1 of their second round series against the Atlanta Hawks tonight.
Early Sportsbook.com trends show 90% of the action for tonight's game is on the 11 ½-point favorite, Cavs with 76% of bettors liking the Over 179 points.
It's been nine days since Cleveland dispatched the Detroit Pistons, ending their series in a quick four-game sweep. There's no denying that long layoffs can have a negative effect on teams as they enter first game of a new series but bettors don't seem worried.
Maybe they should be concerned however. Against the spread, Cleveland didn't have much success when they played the Hawks this season. Atlanta covered the last three meetings between the two teams; twice as four-point underdogs and another time as an eight-point underdog.
Obviously bettors are driven by the fact that Cleveland has won nine of their last 10 games and they've profited from a 9-1 ATS record during those games. However, they are just 9-10 ATS at home when playing as a double-digit favorite.
"Cleveland is on a roll and it's widely accepted that this is LeBron's time to win a Championship," said Sportsbook.com spokesman, Dave Staley. "Bettors are hopping on the train and so far they've been rewarded."
Atlanta hopes to catch Cleveland taking a catnap tonight. It's unlikely that LeBron will be sleeping, but the timing of his shots or the crispness of passes could be off, giving the Hawks a chance for easier than expected baskets.
The layoff may also affect the marksmanship of sharp shooters like Delonte West, Mo Williams, Daniel Gibson and Wally Szczerbiak.
Atlanta does a good job handling the ball with Mike Bibby and Joe Johnson in the backcourt and they are 10-2 ATS after a game committing eight or less turnovers this season. Cleveland is 28-19 ATS against teams that commit 14 or less turnovers like Atlanta, but bettors should be aware that the average margin of victory is 7.3 points per game, well the below 11 ½ points that the Cavs are giving.
Cleveland is pretty much everything Miami wasn't. They have an even better superstar player in James, plenty of veteran players who know the playoff drill and have a hunger and desire to win a NBA Championship.
The Cavaliers take great pride in 41-2 record in Quicken Loans Arena, in which they covered the spread 29 times.

In my opinion, I think the author/screenwriter inserted the second break up for more drama and character building. In the book, we only got one break up and it wasn't really a break up. Her mother didn't really like HSY and was relieved when they "broke up". However, he was able to easily win her over. After that it was all sunshine and rainbows. So with the second breakup, we see the heartache of both HSY and TN and how they'll overcome this hurdle. 3 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Son's touching tribute to father who tragically died near Brighton Marina
News • Jun 17, 2019 14:39 BST
Tributes have been paid to an active family man who tragically died following an incident near Brighton Marina.
Shortly after 6.30am on Sunday 12 May, police were called to a report that a silver Vauxhall van had gone over the cliff east of the marina, close to Roedean School.
Emergency services attended, but sadly the driver died at the scene. He has been identified as David Routhan, 42, of Nuthurst Place, Brighton.
His son Rhys issued the following statement:
"My dad was a self-employed stonemason who enjoyed riding his motorbikes (motocross), going to the gym, working, walking his beloved dogs, being with his close friends and supporting Liverpool Football Club.
"To name a few of his vast array of achievements were setting up his own successful business, becoming a father, fitness related goals, and recently passing his motorbike test after many years of riding just motocross.
"My Dad will be remembered as the man who always put a smile on people's faces and lit up the room. He was a hardworking, caring, and loyal family man. A man who always put others before himself, and who wanted what was best for his family and close friends.
"He would never let anyone down and would do everything he could to make someone close to him feel happy, feel loved, and feel appreciated. From making family members and friends smile, to even his own customers through work smile, he would always try his best to make a positive impact on someone's life.
"No one had a bad word to say about him. Happy go lucky, cheeky, funny, loyal, smart, and the best father to myself, that's how my Dad (David) will be remembered."
David leaves behind Rhys (son), Lorraine (mother), Darren, Nigel, Suzannah and Simon (brothers/sister/brother-in-law), Jon and Sarah (nephew/niece), and David 'Boyce' Negus (best friend).

Why Hire Smart Gutter Solutions?
Gutters are very important to a home or business location. Clean gutters help to route the stream of water from a home's roof and guide the water to the downspout that will funnel rainwater from the exterior of a house and its foundation.
Obstructed or damaged gutters lead to several problems:
If a gutter is obstructed and rainwater starts to collect inside, the rain will then start to pool at the edge of the roof. This damages shingles on a roof and can cause cracks forming. Cracks in the shingles can result inleaking from the home's ceiling which can result in leaks in the home itself. To repair a damaged roof or cracked ceiling or flooring is a very expensive home repair.
A basement filled with water is no fun at all. Damaged gutters are a common cause for a flooded basement. Rain will overflow from the gutter and pool at the foundation of the house just above the basement. Soon after, the concrete will start to wear down and water that pools above the basement will start leaking into the basement. Oftentimes this will lead to mold or mildew growth and will destroy paint, rugs and other chairs and couches or decorations in the basement.
Pools of rain that damage or flood basements can also damage the foundation of a home. A house with a weak foundation isn't safe to live in. Homeowners also discover that to rebuild a home's foundation is a costly expense and a necessity for any chance of selling a home in time. Home's with unstable foundations almost certainly won't pass a home inspection.
Pests and rodents gather to sitting water. If rainwater remains in a gutter for too long, gutters will soon become home to rats, mosquitos, termites and other bugs near your house. The issue might even worsen if the insects and rodents find a way into your home through the gutter system. Proper gutter cleaning and maintenancewill eliminate any chances for a pest outbreak to happen.
The appearance of your home might not be the number one reason to clean gutters, but it's the most visible. Debris that builds up in the gutters can often be visible from sidewalks, especially debris that gathers on the driveway. The overflowing rain will stain the siding of a home and deteriorate the appearance of roofing. In the end, a home with clogged gutters will appear worn down on the outside.
Another obvious potential problem that occurs from debris and overflowing rain is damage to the gutters themselves. Debris and materials will eventually corrode the aluminum most gutters are made of. Damaged gutters often cause the same type of home damage as clogged gutters and will need to be replaced more often than well maintained systems.
Professional gutter cleaning, gutter repair and leaf guard installation will help to prevent these problems. Our services will protect rain gutters and homes! Call today!

'Our Daily Bread'
This programme has been on Radio 4 all week. I only caught episode 3, but it was worth it for this introduction which I have transcribed. I thought it was beautiful. If this is it, then life is far more simple than we like to make it.
When you are holding bread… you are holding the cosmos in your hands.
Bread is a microcosm of the macrocosm.
In the bread, is the sun; if there is no sun, there is no bread. In the bread is the moon. In the bread is the rain. In the bread is the soil. In the bread is the farmer. In the bread is the baker. In the bread is the eater. In the bread are all the elements because the bread is made, only, by all the elements put together. So, when you make the bread, bread makes you.
This complete non-duality and complete wholeness of life is represented by bread. Therefore, in Buddhist tradition, also in Hindu and Jain tradition, annam (food), which is bread, is very holy, very sacred, very precious; and through bread you can find your salvation, your nirvana, and your moksha.

I tried to shoo Monday out the front door but, as usual, it was having none of it. So I am left with the task of sharing a Monday morningish recipe from a collection by John the 4th Marquis of Bute, published in the mid 50s.
Khubz al Jarade / Locust Bread
The best way to catch locusts is to repair to the nearest wall, the higher the better. Here, if the season be propitious, numbers of these insects will be found flying with such force against the wall that many will fall senseless to the ground.
Of those that fall, pick up the females – they are easily distinguished from the males in being somewhat larger and rather lighter in colour. Pull off the head as the head is pulled off a shrimp. The squeeze the body and there will exude the eggs, like dark and diminutive caviare, to the amount of nearly a teaspoonful from each animal (I think he means insect). When half a kilo of this spawn has been obtained (how many teaspoons would you say that is???) in a small basin, mix with half a kilo of flour and bake into small loaves. (I am a bit concerned about the Marquis of Bute's bakery skills now.)
Those who wish to enjoy this dish should be careful not to let an opportunity pass, as these little beasts make their visitation to the North of Morocco, at least, every nine years only. The last swarm occured in Tangier in A.D. 1947 (th year of the Hegria, 1367).
So now you know. And if you are short on swarming locusts perhaps you could improvise with flying ants or something…

For the past two weeks I've been busy testing out the Foodsaver Fresh. A vacuum sealing system designed to help your food last longer.
A bit of background…
What is the Foodsaver Fresh
The Foodsaver Fresh is a vacuum sealing machine designed to keep your food fresh up to two times longer than conventional storage systems such a zip seal bags, tin foil, cling film or containers. It's the number one vacuum sealing system in the US and is now launching in the UK.
How does it work?
The Foodsaver Fresh removes the air from specially designed bags and containers forming an airtight seal, helping your food to stay fresh for longer.
Why you need the Foodsaver Fresh
Every year 7 million tonnes of food are wasted in the UK. The aim of the Foodsaver Fresh is to increase the shelf life of your food leading to less waste. It also enables you to buy more food in bulk (as it will make it last longer) which if you're a savvy shopper means you can reduce your shopping bills too.

Vehicle Tracking for Logistics
Duleep Sahadevan, Managing Director, software Associates Information Technologies, shares his views on the Vehicle Tracking for Logistics.
Today, abundant consignments are being booked and timely dispatched. There are speedy resolutions of complaints. Truck scheduling and alternative planning is in practice. Communication and updates at all points are available with no confusions. These are the indicators of a trusted parcel logistics company, be it a local business or a nation-wide multi-crore enterprise. For a business owner desk, we can add more to the list such as optimised fuel usage, lesser claims for missing consignments, no theft, better control of employees and their reporting, efficient management of branches etc.
These are not impossible milestones, with the limited budget for operational activities if there are committed efforts from the management for better control and monitoring. Software is no longer a luxury for multi-location parcel business where real-time information plays a key role. Efficient tracking of consignments and reconciliation of Proof of Delivery can take care of the customer-company interaction. Central monitoring for faster complaint resolution helps the employees in dealing with irritated customers. Many a times the effective tracking of waybills can reduce the consignment claims by 50% or more. Secure remote client management applications are available which allows consignor and consignees to engage in self service and thus reducing the company's cost of serving the client.
Software application integrated with GPS machines on the trucks can fetch the actual figures on route optimisation, fuel usage, consignment tracking etc on your desktop or smart phone. For more convenience of the business owner there are options to avail information at the smart phone finger tips.

Oh this is one of those dresses. One of those ones that you put on and instantly feel pretty. I got this lovely thing in the post from Max C London. I've noticed theior stuff popping up here and there, and have spent a fair while browsing through all the pretty things on their site. I especially love this gorgeous tote, this perfect winter jumper and this lace peplum dress. So, obviously I was really pleased to get this in the post, and even more so that it lived up to my expectations. The fit is great and the quality of the stitching is really good (its SUCH a bugbear of mine when you get new clothes and buttons are falling off and seams coming undone from rubbish manufacturing). And did I mention it made me feel pretty?
wearing- dress: c/o Max C London (you can get it in navy too); boots: topshop (old); belt: primark; bag: vintage.
Anyway, I'm very happy to say that I'm also able to giveaway this dress to one of you! You just need to follow me via GFC, and like Max C London's facebook page to enter. There are more ways to get extra entries too for you keen beans! The competition will close next wednesday and then I'll announce the winner. Happy clicking, and happy browsing 🙂
