Jenn - Jennifer Rhodes met Melanie back when True Blood was popular and they have been friends ever since. She loves TV (especially things that make you smile), Doctor Who, Finding new shows, and regularly provides awesome fandom items for Muser Giveaways. Jennifer is now a proud member of the VIPers - the Melanie's Muses Spotlight Feature Team!These movies I’ve actually loved forever, and they are the “Police Academy” films. The only one I didn’t really enjoy was basically the last one. My favorites being one thru six. They were a comedy staple for 10 years from 1984-1994. In the first movie you see a bunch of rag tag people joining up with the police academy, and you know the higher ups are definitely not on board, until they prove that they might actually turn out to be some of the best cops around. Even though you see the other characters a lot it follows mostly cadet Mahoney and his antics , most of which are aimed at the incompetents helping a rival captain in order to get thrown out. As it goes he realizes maybe he just wants to stay. The other movies follow this group on more adventures like in “Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment”. They hit the streets to help out a real police captain and his precinct deal with a bunch of thugs. The series tones down the sex as they go on. Starting out rated R and hits PG soon after. If you have not seen these movies then I highly suggest remedying that as soon as possible especially if you’re in the mood to laugh.

Melanie - Founder of Melanie's Muses - You should know who I am lol If not click - All about Melanie!Let me start by saying that when this released, Hustlers wasn't really on my radar. I'm not a huge J-Lo person, and there aren't really any cast members that I can say I enjoy, but then Em had me read about the story behind it - and then I decided to pay attention. Based on a 2015 New York Magazine article, Hustlers follows the story of a bunch of dancers that have had enough of how their world works and decide to take things into their own hands. The actual premise takes a well known scheme and ups it by about 100. The story is a little insane, more so because it is based on actual events, but for the the standout in this movie is the music and the dancing. I was amazed to see that J-Lo actually did ALL her own routines, including a 3 month intensive so that she could learn the pole dancing routines to give an authentic performance and I included one below (although as it is a more adult routine YouTube does have it age restricted). If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it (despite the cast) because the story is really well done! The Pineapple Code Word For This Article Is Dancer Note the second video is a performance from the movie - it is ager restricted so you will need to sign in to your YouTube account if you want to watch it.

Melanie - Founder of Melanie's Muses - You should know who I am lol If not click - All about Melanie!"Dear Diary ...... Heather says she teaches people real life ‘real life.’ She said, "real life sucks losers dry. You want to f*@# with the eagles, you have to learn to fly." Not your typical High School movie introduction, but then this is anything other than a typical High School movie. If you've never seen Heathers (SUSAN - looking directly at you - even though I reference it so much you used them in Sanguine Crown), then you really need to. Releasing in 1988, I actually wrote a blog about the movie in 2012 and how many of the messages were still relevant then, (If you are really bored you can read that HERE - stuff on the internet REALLY is forever), and honestly are still relevant today. Heathers takes your typical school bullying scenario but ups the stakes dramatically with a murder spree being made to look like teen suicides. One of the darker comedies out there, this movie has remained a favorite for over 30 years, and I still watch it regularly. I have, at this point, finally gotten over my absolute HATE for Wynona Ryder that I harbored as a teen that refused to recognize that she was only playing a part, (that took MANY years), but the many memorably lines from the movie will probably be quoted forever. Dark satire is one of my favorite genres, and as with anything I obsess over, I have watched a lot of commentaries, behind the scenes extras etc etc, and if anyone watches and wants to know what the ORIGINAL end was meant to be, just ask. For completely selfish and slightly psychotic reasons, I would have liked to have seen a realized version of it offered as an alternate ending, but in the real world the way they went probably was for the best. Heathers went through a little mini resurgence a few years back with it being turned into a Musical (which actually has a decent soundtrack - thanks to Emily for introducing me to that), but the casting will never match the powerhouse presence that the screen enigmas brought to it. (As a recording of the stage musical is available on Roku to watch I have included a link to that trailer too). So, let me know what you think. I am sure many of you will have seen it already but for those that haven't, you really should! The Pineapple Code Word For This Article Is Very

Blurb About The Book
Annaleigh Bartow has one goal in mind. Save the last remaining examples of her grandfather’s stonemasonry work. Unfortunately, that work is part of an old hotel scheduled for demolition. And she’s not the only one out to get a piece of it. When her attempt is thwarted by some ruthless thugs, an unexpected hero comes to her rescue. One who both frightens and fascinates her. One who will change her life in ways she can’t imagine. Now For The Review Standalone or series? Complete standalone - not connected (nor planned on being connected) to any of Kristen's other worlds or series. How did I get this book? I am lucky enough to Kristen's alpha reader. Why did I choose to read this book: Because I will literally read anything with Kristen's name attached! Genre Paranormal Romance And Now To The Review! First Impressions: This book starts off with a much darker feel than most of Kristen's more recent work and I have to say I am there for it. As I found her through her House of Comarre series the darkness works for me. General Review I really enjoyed this unique take on Gargoyle legend (and if it ISN'T totally unique - then it's just new to me - and I read A LOT). The story manages to cover a lot despite being a novella and as with Kristen's other writing, the descriptions allows you to immediately immerse yourself in this new world without any issues. Final Thoughts I am always impressed at the new directions Kristen manages to take stories in. I didn't guess the twist in this one which is always a bonus. Despite being a novella it's definitely a complete story, and personally I really like the fact that everything is wrapped up and you don't have to wait for more in the series! Rating: 5 Diamonds! (OK so they are the same as stars. It will make sense when you read it) As always let me know what you think in the comments! Pineapple Code word for this article is Diamond ***Disclaimer - Any Links To Buy and/or Subscribe to Amazon Programs On Amazon on this website are Amazon Affiliate Links Melanie's Muses is part of the Amazon Associate program and earns from qualifying purchases which in turns helps support all the Muser giveaways we do!***
Jenn - Jennifer Rhodes met Melanie back when True Blood was popular and they have been friends ever since. She loves TV (especially things that make you smile), Doctor Who, Finding new shows, and regularly provides awesome fandom items for Muser Giveaways. Jennifer is now a proud member of the VIPers - the Melanie's Muses Spotlight Feature Team!This show is actually one of my favorites that I didn’t find until later, maybe like second season but it was so good that I couldn’t stop watching. I see “Stranger Things” as a mix of comedy, horror, romance and add a dash of sci-fi so basically it has it all. Not to mention the 80s feel. Being set in the 80s helps but so does having an 80s icon like Winona Ryder as one of the main alongside mostly relative unknowns. Do you agree? This series is about five kids and there adventures with the upside down, though they might say nightmare. The upside down is a world parallel to ours, but more dangerous and dark. I know this show is older and popular but there might still be some who have never seen it, so I’ll stay away from spoilers. But if you’re into different then I definitely recommend you check out and watch “Stranger Things”. Melanie - Founder of Melanie's Muses - You should know who I am lol If not click - All about Melanie!When Stranger Things came out I loved the first season. It felt fresh, despite being set in the 80s, and filled me with a ton of nostalgia for things that just aren't the same now. That being said once Season 2 started for me (and I know I am in the minority here) it lost its way and I just never went back to it. I see a lot of pieces about it on Social Media and KNOW some of the things that have happened have been fabulous (Kate Bush's resurgence for example lol) ... but for me I will stick with my other shows.
