Movie Reviews
A Quiet Place Part 2
Just as good as the first one, this movie picks up exactly where the other one left off, with a quick flashback to show the invasion of the aliens. Many tense moments, made more intense as the characters split up and face new challenges. Couple times I wondered why the person was doing that, but overall an excellent film that is worth seeing in the theater.
F9
Dumb and over the top, just as expected. The scene in the previews with Dom and Letty’s car catching the rope and swinging wide over a large canyon? Nowhere near the craziest stunt in the film. They bring back many characters from the past, which is fun.
If you are a fan of the series, you’ll enjoy it.
The Conjuring III: The Devil Made Me Do It
The least of the three films so far. Not bad, but they pose a question throughout the film and then never resolve it! Frustrating. Glad I saw this at home and didn’t pay money for it.
I have an awesome guest next weeks, so be sure to stop by.
Don’t forget the Insecure Writer’s Support Group Anthology Contest is now open! Genre – sweet romance, theme – first love. See the site for details.
See you next Wednesday for Insecure Writer’s Support Group post day!
What do you think of CassaDark’s cover? Seen any of the movies? Ready for IWSG day? Happy July Fourth to my American friends!

HUGE congratulations Alex. I hope it does as well as your other books.
Hi Alex - many congratulations ... so pleased for you. I know I'll enjoy it - and will order shortly. Brilliant for you - cheers Hilary
Congrats on yet another job well done! Excellent looking cover as well.
Love your cover! Congrats on your new book release. I'll be glad to shout out about it in Follower News when it releases.
Big congratulations to you, the cover looks intriguing!
Absolutely love the cover! Congratulations to you, Alex!
Congratulations to you!!! I love the cover. It shows you still can write about your characters when you thought you were done. I will pass on all 3 movies. Too scared to watch the first one and the others look dumb. I am not into the Fast & Furious because it looks just...too stupid for words. I saw the trailer where he drives off a very tall building. I bet the car still land nicely and he can keep driving.
Natalie, appreciate that!
Birgit, that's nothing compared to the car going into outer space...
Thanks, everyone!
Congrats! Another great cover and blurb! Looking forward to it!!
Congrats on the new book - the cover is fantastic!
I'm happy for you, Alex. CassaDark is a wonderful story about courage and fortitude. Bassan is one of my favourite characters. Best of success.
Hearty congratulations on your latest book. It is a great series. Sharing...
Hooray! So excited to see this one hit the shelves. The Cassa series is just so enjoyable.
Our daughter saw The Conjuring and wasn't particularly impressed either. Didn't hate it, but said it was meh.
Congratulations! LOVE the cover!
Cool cover and big congrats! Nice way to zoom into summer. I wish you big success.
Haven't seen Quiet Place II yet - I do like Emily Blunt.
As you saw by my F9 review, we do agree. Just wild stunts and old friends. Good combo.
Hope your summer is treating you well - enjoy. And Happy and Safe 4th weekend ahead.
Congrats, Alex. The prolific writer making waves again. The cover is great! Looking at it one knows immediately it is an outer space thing!
Hank
Congratulations, Alex!
Definitely looking forward to A Quiet Place II and will give The Conjuring III a try, but I'll be watching at home where I can be a chicken in private. :)
Joylene, thanks for helping it become a reality.
Lynda, thanks! And meh is a good description.
Joanne, as my wife said, those guys are like family now.
Thanks, everybody!

How exciting!!! Congrats!!!! Big Hugs!
Congrats on the new novel!
Hey Maria! Book will be available everywhere next spring. As a dude who's never had kids, probably not the best choice of test reader, but I can hook you up with a couple ladies who'd be perfect.
Thanks everyone!
Hi, Alex!
I'm gonna go ahead and judge your new book by it's cover - fantastic! Congratulations, good buddy!
<< The scene in the previews with Dom and Letty’s car catching the rope and swinging wide over a large canyon? >>
Mrs. Shady aka "Helen Wheels" has performed that stunt on several occasions!
Enjoy the rest of your week, good buddy Alex!
Great cover, Alex!
How exciting to have a new story ready to publish for next year... CONGRATS!
Big, fat congrats on the new release! The cover looks phenomenal, how exciting! All the very best for its success!
Woo Hoo! Many congrats. Just placed my order.
Congratulations, Alex! I love that cover.
Congrats. The over for Cassa Dark is great.
I watched The Conjuring III and felt the same way. It wasn't my favorite.
Shady, Helen Wheels is quite talented!
Sandra, big thanks!
Mary, it fell short of the others.
Thanks, everyone!
Woohoo, Alex! I'm thrilled for you. Nervous for Bassan.
You're amazing, friend.
May CassaDark soar beyond new heights.
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Such exciting news! Congrats on the new book. The cover is awesome!
Congrats on your newest release! I wish you many sales.
That's a great cover!
Writing Science Fiction thrillers is a gift you've discovered amongst the stars, plucked like shining jewels at dawn. I wish I had some.
Congratulations, Alex!
Alex! That's great news! Best wishes and many happy sales!!
HMG
Congratulations, and I love the cover. Can't wait to read.
SpacerGuy, the gift or the jewels?
Thanks everyone!
Congratulations, Alex! That cover is awesome!
Congratulations with your new release Alex!! I love the cover of CassaDark!!! See you on Wednesday for the IWSG blog hop. I'll do my best to make it, despite being 100% wrapped up in family and friend visits in Belgium. Happy 4th of July!!
That is a powerful cover. Love that font. So excited that you are not giving up on writing! Congratulations!!
Congratulations! Great cover!
I also liked Quiet Place II, and loved the quick flashback. It was super confusing for a split second seeing a certain character. Looking forward to F9, and I'll be watching Conjuring III at home.
Love the cover of your newest book. Congrats on the release.
I haven't watched any good movies lately. Seen a couple duds though, lol.
Have you seen The Tomorrow War? The review I read wasn't that great, but I enjoyed the movie.
Happy to publish another Cassa book.
Congrats on your upcoming book! I love the cover.
I saw F9. Not my favorite in this franchise, but I still enjoyed the movie.
So cool that you have another book coming out. I hope it does well like your others!
I hope you had a good Fourth of July! The cover to your book looks really neat. I like the title too. I haven't seen A Quiet Place II yet but want too. I'm just not sure if it's still showing in my area. I heard somewhere that, I think so they can catch up with their movie release schedules, some theatres are going to only play certain movies for no more than two weeks and those movies are then going to go to streaming. I could be wrong though. I hope I'm wrong!
Congrats on CassaDark! I'm glad it's finally coming out.
Liesbet, enjoy your visit to Belgium!
Donna! Good to hear from you.
Diane, thanks!
Cherie, not my favorite either. That's still number five.
Thanks, everybody!
Congratulations Alex, this is great news.
Major congrats on the book and its cover, Alex! (military allusion intented)
Congrats on mentioning 'Platoon', which I loved, rather than the more universally lauded, 'Apocalyse Now', which I didn't like re the over-the-top insanity
As always, thanks always for the support for of our writing hangups and insecurities
Chiming in late because yesterday was moving day. Thanks as always for the movie reviews. I'm looking forward to Old and Black Widow. Happy writing in July!
Late reading this - Congratulations! It sounds great, the story line engaging. Hopefully, he finds the courage to break-free. How to decipher the code?
That is an amazing cover, Alex. Because I am a fan for twists on vampire movies and tales of mothers protecting their children, I am looking forward to BLOOD-RED SKIES, criminals take over a commercial airplane and discover it is unwise to threaten a child of a woman struggling not to be a monster in front of her child. Thanks for reading the first 3 chapters of my Vella.
Congratulations on the new release and awesome cover, Alex!
Very happy for you.
I liked the Conjuring 3, but certainly didn't retain much of it, which says something.
Congratulations. That cover is brilliant.
