Movies: Odd Thomas

Watching this was a bittersweet experience because it featured Anton Yelchin who passed away just a few days ago. It feels unreal that he's dead. I still haven't seen the latest Star Trek with him yet...

This movie was weird. Like really weird. I haven't read the books, so I don't know how close or not close it followed their tone, but even my mom who actually did read the books thought it was a weird film. What I loved was how everybody liked Thomas so much, the captain and his wife (?), Thomas' girlfriend Stormy, all the other people in the shop... Yes, they found him odd but they still liked him a lot. I especially loved Thomas' relationship with the police captain who was like a father to him, that was lovely.

And now I really need to read the books. I bought all of them for my mom and she loved them, so...
