Due Justice is in theatres and VOD on Friday! I lo Due Justice is in theatres and VOD on Friday! I loved acting in this film from writer/director Javier Reyna @1964films !! You can catch a peek of me in the trailer, as well as a colored marking drawing made by my on-screen daughter that I think is remarkably accurate of me and definitely to scale. 😜 . Starring @kellanlutz @thereal.efrenramirez and Jeff Fahey. . The story: An attorney with a military past (Kellan Lutz) hunts down the gang who killed his wife (me! eek!) and brother and kidnapped his daughter. Efren Ramirez plays the detective investigating the case. . . #duejustice #duejusticemovie #actionthriller #crimedrama #hallieshepherd #hallieshepherdmovies #kellanlutz #efrenramirez #jefffahey #javierreyna
Friday night’s @gflip concert at the El Rey Thea Friday night’s @gflip concert at the El Rey Theatre on Wilshire in LA was so, so fun! It was a long week for me, and this show swept me away in the best possible way. G Flip is a wildly talented singer-songwriter from Australia who plays a ton of instruments. During one of the first songs, G Flip climbed off the stage and gestured for the crowd to part. @eric.colley.official and I were standing about 7 rows back from center stage, so the aisle created was directly in front of me. G Flip came dancing and singing down the aisle and stopped right next to me and shouted for us all to “jump!” So I jumped shoulder-to-shoulder with G Flip for a good chunk of “Hyperfine.” (I have no videos of this as I was just enjoying the moment). Scroll through the gallery to see photos/videos I did take: . 1. PHOTO: G Flip on stage 2. PHOTO: These are the faces Eric and I make when we’re having fun. 3. VIDEO: “Australia” is my fave track off the new DRUMMER album. Such a beautiful song – “But I wanted you to know that I still think of you; Do you hate me? Do you miss me? Do you think about our history like I do?” 4. VIDEO: This high energy performance of “Real Life” was awesome. “Why go to sleep at night; Just to wake up and realize; When you're not home it's not real life.” 5. VIDEO: “About You” is a cool vibe all its own. I’ve loved this song since I first heard it a few years ago. “Now that I can see another part of me; Hittin' back, slap in the face, yeah, you were the key.” 6. VIDEO: Serious drumming talent! 7. VIDEO: The performance of “Gay 4 Me” was one of the highlights of the show. G Flip was joined on stage by @itsjojosiwa and @laurensanderson and the entire audience was shouting the chorus. I love it when so many different people feel connected through music. It was a blast to shout the lyrics in unison with the entire crowd: “She said she's only gay for me; And I don't know what to believe!” 8. PHOTO: Jojo Siwa, G Flip, and Lauren Sanderson 9. PHOTO: The El Rey Theatre is such a cool art deco theatre. . #gflip #gflipconcert #jojosiwa #laurensanderson #drummer #elreytheatre #australianmusicians #indiepop #punkpop #poprock #rockconcert

Reading round-up of the books I’ve read lately & Reading round-up of the books I’ve read lately & liked, w/faves on top: . EDUCATED by Tara Westover (memoir) – gift from @linsmarie95 – beautifully written memoir exploring Westover’s upbringing and escape from an extreme survivalist/religious household. I appreciate how she emphasizes the fluidity of memory, acknowledging that “truth” is often just one person’s perspective. . INTO THE ABYSS by Carol Shaben (non-fiction) – “Only 4 men survived the plane crash. The pilot. A politician. A cop – and the criminal he was shackled to.” Riveting! Also an in-depth exploration of bush/commercial aviation and safety regulations (or lack thereof). . THE NIGHTINGALE by Kristin Nightingale (WWII historical fiction) – Some of the early suspense sequences were summaries when I REALLY wanted real-time descriptions. That said, I got utterly swept into the 2nd half of the story and by the end, I was crying my eyes out. . FIVE DAYS AT MEMORIAL by Sheri Fink (non-fiction) – Covers disturbing hospital events in the days of/after Hurricane Katrina. The book is a much clearer picture than the TV series. Thought-provoking, well-researched! . THE LOVE OF MY LIFE by Rosie Walsh (fiction) – Marketed by publishers as a thriller?? I think it’s detrimental to set up false reader expectations. However, this IS a wonderful character drama with a slight mystery element. . THE CORN MAIDEN by Joyce Carol Oates (horror) – Well-built tension and unique style. Page-turning. I would have placed this higher except there were 2 big scenes that happened “off page” at the end that I wanted to read in real time. Still great! . MALIBU RISING by Taylor Jenkins Reid (fiction) – Gorgeous yet simple prose and well-drawn characters. Sweet story of 4 siblings and one wild party. . ELEANOR OLIPHANT IS COMPLETELY FINE by Gail Honeyman (fiction) – What a unique heroine! A slice of life story with a fresh voice. Heartfelt and funny. . NORMAL PEOPLE by Sally Rooney (fiction) – I appreciate her direct writing style (though I dislike when authors omit quotation marks). The story captures how youthful misunderstandings grow into larger conflicts. . #bibliophile #bookreviews #bookstagram #booklover #hallieshepherd
