Six Word Story

Stop being afraid of what’s unknown.

Quote Of The Day

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy… Thomas Merton

Daily Prompt – Word Of The Day: Imagination

Imagination can fuel solutions to a lot of problems. It can be the driving force of creativity. For a child it can help them dream and sometimes survive their circumstances. Magic contains a lot of imagination and vice versa. Just think about where our world would be without the stream of consciousness known as imagination. We need it to cope with the tough world we live in.

IMAGINATION

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

So this sequel to Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them is very action packed and full of content and visually stunning. However I think there is too much action, too much content and at times too visually stunning. Don’t get me wrong I love this whole story and mythos and I am along for the ride because the world of Harry Potter never disappoints. If a franchise can take the time to tell a story that is complete and doesn’t feel like a very fast ride at an amusement park then is when it feels more organic.

Eddie Redmayne and Jude Law are terrific in this flick. Johnny Depp is a terrific villain. Each is charismatic and that makes the whole story go. There were some interesting things that kinda point to the future but I won’t spoil it for you. I recommend you see this on the big screen, any of these movies are worthy of your dollars and time spent at your local movie house. JK Rowling still has it and she will command your attention from start to finish, she is magic like that.

Proud to support small businesses here in Chattanooga. Local dollars stay here and have a great economic impact. People put their heart, soul and treasure into their shops so they deserve all the support year round.
