Hill House

The Haunting- doesnt live up to the oringal, now thats with most horror remakes, and this is one of them. Liam Neeson and Lili Taylor did a good job. Why cast owen wilson, he does nothing in the film but just say "wow". Catherine Zeta-Jones was just there.

The plot: This horror tale focuses on visitors to the secluded mansion of Hill House who have been called to the isolated location by Dr. David Marrow (Liam Neeson) as part of a study on insomnia. However, Marrow is really investigating fear, and he plans to scare the subjects, including the introverted Nell (Lili Taylor) and the seductive Theo (Catherine Zeta-Jones). Unfortunately for Marrow and everyone staying at Hill House, the manor is actually haunted by an evil spirit out to torment its guests.

Steven Spielberg talked to Stephen King about doing a haunted house movie, and the two agreed that Robert Wise's 1963 film "The Haunting" was a benchmark of cinematic house horror, but after they started writing, the two had creative differences. Spielberg agreed with King's idea to use the real-life Winchester Mystery House, in San Jose, California, as a source of inspiration.

Just watch the oringal.

You Stack it, We Pack it.

Life should be good when you are a daughter of Aphrodite, or a daughter of Morrigan. But that’s not what the fates had in mind for Cherry and Ebony. The two women get stuck together in the human realm to return a favor their mothers owe that will change their lives forever.

Appointed as the Karma collectors, they have the perfect opportunity to grow into their powers, only if they can look past their differences and embrace the destiny unfolding at their feet.

Having thieves as their fated mates was never part of the plan.

When Thor’s hammer gets stolen, it’s time to dash out some karma and collect on the sin. That’s where their troubles begin. Although they don’t like each other, they must work together unless they want to pay penance in the underworld for a century.

This whole mates thing must be a mixup, the only thing both of them agree on.

Plus it can’t be hard to deliver karma to humans, right?

Wrong.

Start reading now.

Kristina (502 KP) rated Bared to You (Crossfire, #1) in Books

Dec 7, 2020

I loved Bared to You. It’s a seductive story about two completely broken people who come together; I love these particular kinds of books because it’s inspiring to watch the characters slowly begin to heal, through each other. Eva is so completely relatable to me, it’s almost scary. Gideon, despite being rich and hot, seems more obtainable because of the simple mistakes we watch him make. This is probably my favorite part about the whole book, that both characters seem real. Unfortunately, I couldn’t help but make several connections to Fifty Shades of Grey. This kind of set me off, because most of the stories that follow this trilogy involve almost the exact same contents, but I soon realized that Sylvia has her own twists. These differences are what spurred me on and convinced me to keep reading. I immediately fell in love with Cary and, once I realized he wouldn’t be an obstacle, I quickly decided I liked Mark (despite the goatee). Eva’s and Gideon’s adventure is full of scorching heat, broken hearts, and a healing of sorts. As soon as I finished Bared to You, I was scrambling around to get the sequel, Reflected in You. I’m excited to see what Sylvia has in store for these two!
