Movie Favorite Watch

"The first movie that I ever said was my favorite movie and I’ve said for the longest is The Producers, Mel Brooks’ original Producers. The two lead performances from Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder are both unstoppable performances and then supported by amazing supporting characters throughout. I love the premise of the movie, I love the pacing of that — the opening scene in the office which also serves as the credit sequence is so funny and just such an amazing one — when Gene Wilder walks in and discovers Zero Mostel with one of his little old ladies who wants to do role-play with him, then getting caught by Zero Mostel snooping, then being brought in and negotiating through his various tax schemes… To me, it’s a great premise for a story and it’s so funny."

Movie Favorite Watch

"One of my favorites that I can put on anytime and it makes me happy. I pay obvious homage to it in a sequence towards the beginning of Krisha. I remember showing this to my girlfriend for the first time and she didn’t get it. She thought it was weird. Something about it made her watch it again later on though, now it’s our movie and one of her favorites. It’s a shame audiences didn’t get this beautifully strange Adam Sandler film when it came out. I think it’s one of PTA’s best, even though I love every single one of his films. I can feel his heart bursting through the film, rooting for Barry and Lena. My heart roots for them too. It roots for their strange, beautiful, and real love that we can all relate to!"

I love this series like crazy! In fact, I love all the authors work that I've read. 5 books so far and counting!

Then I have to answer Lindsay's question featured in her FAQ section. My answer is YES! I do want Amaranthe and Sicarius to get together eventually! It isn't enough for me to read him telling her "he cares"! I want romance! Please let there be romance in the next 5 books!

And back to the review. Well, if I'm honest, I cant really remember the first one. I remember it involved Sespian and that he quite liked Amaranthe but I remember very little about her gang, otherwise known as "The Emperor's Edge", or the rest of the plot. It was nice getting to know them all again.

I cant recommend this series enough!

I'm working my way through a list of books found here: http://booklikes.com/apps/reading-lists/146/books-to-fall-in-love-with on BookLikes and that's the only reason I've read this.

It's also turned out to be the first on it of the seven I've read, that I haven't liked. DNF @ 39%.

I don't know if it had anything to do with my lack of love for NA books as of so many months ago but I didn't gel with the storyline or the characters, though I did like the hero's Aussie-isms (they remind me a lot of British lingo).

If I don't get into the story then I can't be arsed to read sex scenes between characters and these two couldn't seem to get enough of each other.

Not for me, this one.
