Book Review: Before I Go To Sleep

Before I Go To Sleep
by S.J. Watson

Synopsis: Every day Christine wakes up not knowing where she is. Her memories disappear every time she falls asleep. Her husband, Ben, is a stranger to her, and he's obligated to explain their life together on a daily basis--all the result of a mysterious accident that made Christine an amnesiac. With the encouragement of her doctor, Christine starts a journal to help jog her memory every day. One morning, she opens it and sees that she's written three unexpected and terrifying words: "Don't trust Ben." Suddenly everything her husband has told her falls under suspicion. What kind of accident caused her condition? Who can she trust?

A solid, suspenseful thriller with a satisfying ending. I thought it was a neat exploration of what I found to be a very fascinating neurological condition as well. The subject matter had me looking up more information on it as I was in the middle of the novel.

I loved the pacing of the book as well, or as the people who like to use cliches like to say... a real page turner. I honestly did leave every page wanting more answers. The plot is well-constructed as to not reveal too much at a time and to get you guessing. The characters are believable and the main character sympathetic.

Well done indeed. An excellent thriller I highly recommend.

Too bad it looks like the flattest beer I've ever seen... still beats water though.

Father's Day Playlist

I haven't done a playlist in a while, so here's you one that I whipped up for Father's Day, appropriately called...

Songs For Your Father's Day!

• Father Figure - George Michael
• My Father's Eyes - Eric Clapton
• Cat's In The Cradle - Ugly Kid Joe
• The Living Years - Mike and the Mechanics
• Father of Mine - Everclear
• Daddy Sang Bass - Johnny Cash
• Old Man - Neil Young
• My Old Man's Son - Eli Young Band
• Mother, Father - Journey
• My Father's Chair - Rick Springfield
• Father, Mother, Son - The Scream
• Just The Two of Us - Will Smith
• Father Figure - Army of Anyone
• Watching You - Rodney Atkins
• Dear Father - Black Sabbath
• Absentee Father - Filter
• A Boy Named Sue- Johnny Cash
• Mack Daddy - Sir Mix A-Lot
• Daddy - Korn
• There Goes My Life - Kenny Chesney
• Stuntin' Like My Daddy - Birdman and Lil Wayne

Now granted, that list is all over the place and some of those songs are sort of "anti-fatherhood" songs, but hell I ain't paid to do this so take it or leave it.

My personal favorite on there is Rick Springfield's "My Father's Chair," which can actually bring me to tears sometimes. A wonderful, touching song that I relate to a lot on Father's Day. Man, who doesn't love The Rick!

Some Of The Greatest Fails Of All-Time

Movie Review: V/H/S 2

Synopsis: Searching for a missing student, two private investigators break into his abandoned house and find another collection of mysterious VHS tapes. In viewing the horrific contents of each cassette, they realize there may be terrifying motives behind the student’s disappearance.

The sequel to last year's "found footage" anthology shocker V/H/S (reviewed here), this one obviously is just more of the same. This time there are 4 segments, connected by a wrap-around bit of private dicks searching through some VHS tapes. And again, the quality of the short stories is consistently good with some fun original ideas and some not-so-original, but at least well done. Let's break 'em down!

Phase I Clinical Trials: A man receives an ocular implant with a camera and begins to see ghosts, who then begin to terrorize him of course. It's sort of creepy and fun.

A Ride in the Park: A dude riding a bike on the trail through a park stumbles upon a zombie and of course gets bitten, leading to some video-game like POV zombie happenings. I found this one fun, but zombies have pretty much been done to death lately (see what I did there!). Nothing special really.

Safe Haven: A documentary film crew gains access to Paradise Gates, an Indonesian safe house and/or a wacky polygamist colony. While doing some interviews, all hell breaks loose with plenty of wet, bloody, splattery mayhem. Wild segment.

Slumber Party Alien Abduction: A typical group of foul-mouthed teenagers armed with cameras are pranking at a sleep-over, when some aliens decide to do some pranking of their own. Lots of tense action and chases and such. Pretty entertaining.

Then the wrap-around segment that ties them all together plays out, with some gory effects, including a self-inflicted gunshot that you have to see to believe. Awesome effects.

That's it, a 90-minute film of found-footage short horror films. If you liked the first film, you'll like this. Plenty of gore, carnage, mayhem and uncomfortable situations abound. Oh, and some boobs.

I scored the first film higher (7.5) but this is a solid sequel. I'd probably go higher for both but each film has a segment or 2 that are sort of amateurish I thought, plus the shaky camera shots get on my nerves after a while, no matter what the subject is.
