Pop Culture Recommendation of the Week:
Film: Unbreakable dir. M Night Shymalan
Revisited this film a few nights ago and the mastery of Shymalan's writing and directing is a pleasure to behold especially considering the sad state of his latest works. Bruce Willis is subdued but strong, Samuel L Jackson gives one of his most grounded performances - and hey! - Robin Wright is in this too. Worth a look or a rewatch - and definitely beats a $16 ticket for SPLIT.

Pop Culture Recommendation:
NIGHT SHIFT a series of short stories by Stephen King. A handful of great tales (including a prequel and follow up to Salem's Lot) the real standout is a creepy little interlude called "The Boogeyman". Check it out if you're a fan of the undisputed master of horror or if you're new to his work - the writing is accessible, fun and a nice introduction to one of our best living authors.

Pop Culture Recommendation:
Book: Wishful Drinking by Carrie Fisher
Fun, quick, bittersweet read that the popular touring show was based upon. An unflinching look at a life lived in the spotlight - the good and the bad - and a real love story between three women (Carrie, Debbie Reynolds, Billie Lourd)
