Juno Temple recommended True Romance (1993) in Movies (curated)

1993 | Action, Drama, Mystery

"True Romance, again… a romance at heart, a young couple on the run doing crazy stuff. I think Alabama is one of the coolest characters of all time. I love the script — I think it’s so dynamic."

I'm torn about this film. I really wanted to like it a lot and I love Hugh and Rachel, but the editing for the movie was just bizarre. I could not get invested for a long time.

Where do I start with this book?

To be honest, I nearly didn’t make it to the end. It started off quite well but then quickly descended into something ridiculous which had me laughing at its absurdity - the nymphomaniac? Don’t even go there!! However, I have been “told off” for reviewing a book I have not finished before so I persevered. I must admit to heaving a sigh of relief when I had finished and thought it was a pile of rubbish and I was going to write a review straight away but I didn’t have time, so have left it a couple of days and I am glad I did because I have had time to digest and reflect on what I have read and have changed my mind.

I think this is a cleverly written book which appears one thing at the start but becomes something completely different by the end and all the bits that seemed preposterous suddenly made sense. I can’t say too much as I don’t want to give the game away but I will say that this book is not as it seems so I advise anyone who reads it to keep going to the end and then let it sink in for a while.

Thank you to the publisher, Hocus Pocus Publishing Inc and Netgalley for providing me with a copy in return for an honest and unbiased review.

A must for any horror fan
Stranger Things was such a fun show to watch I binged it in one sitting and could easily watch it multiple times without minding. As some who is a horror junkie, I loved all the nods they did to the classics in the genre.

The only reason I couldn't give it a full 10/10 is the characters I hated I just truly not only hated but found really damn annoying.

I know they each had their own part but hell I didn't like any of them.

Book Favorite

"When I first read Flaubert's Madame Bovary, I was some years away from being married, and still a few years away from imagining I ever would be. What did the adulteries and suicide of a doctor's wife in provincial France matter to me? A lot. As my first editor once said to me, "I've known a number of adulterous women." (I didn't doubt that he had.) "But the one I know best, and will never forget, is Emma Bovary.""

"This reminds me of a bad moment, but an important moment - and I just love this song so much. I was just coming back from the 2016 Olympics in Rio when Blonde dropped, and I downloaded it as fast as I could for the flight back. I was in a really bad place [missed out on a medal], but it's such a beautiful song and brings me such emotion. It really helped me in that way."

"A recent film. But man, I had to pick a Quentin Tarantino film. I’m a really big fan. He’s super unique. I appreciate the people who have a thing that’s completely different than whatever anyone else is doing."

I liked it because it showed a non true example of what happens when you mess with animals. But I didn't like that a character abused the monkeys. But a good movie overall. I really liked James Franco in it.
  
This was very interesting. Some parts got a bit confusing because I kept forgetting who each character was but I really enjoyed it. One of the characters was a bit of a man whore though wow. lol. Very good and I'm glad I got to review it

Hands down I wish I had not waited so long to read this book. It's been a long time since I've finished a book and said YES! That was great. I highly recommend this book, it reminded me a little of Perfect/Flawed series by Ahern.
