"Rushmore. That must come up a lot. But it’s funny, and I know that the movie Harold and Maude is probably a big influence on that; but I hadn’t seen that when I saw Rushmore. I hadn’t seen anything like it. It’s really funny. I think Wes Anderson is really hilarious and most people don’t notice, because of the style of the film. Grand Budapest Hotel, to me, was the funniest film of the year, but people saw it as an art film. I think I related to Max as well, because I grew up poor like he did, and when I went to University I did feel like I was kind of pretending of fitting in this world. I related to Max."

Review of my stay at The El Royale:

I recently checked into the El Royale. While all of the other guests seemed to be having a bad time, I really enjoyed my stay and had a great time. If you're looking for a quiet and relaxing place to lay your head for the night this probably isn't the hotel for you, but if you've got roughly 2 hours and 21minutes for a good time this is the place. One perk is, if you want to make sure you don't forget your time here, management can get you a copy of your stay on video. My only complaint would be the service, checking in and out was a real pain. Otherwise, I highly recommend visiting!

Intense true story thriller
I caught a few trailers for this Sky original production a while back and it looked very promising. Based on true events of terrorist attacks in Mumbai in 2008, largely centered around the Taj Hotel.
The film is pretty straightforward in just depicting what happend on the night, although how much of the film is dramatised or true is hard to guess. It mainly seems to follow in line with news coverage at the time. It's interesting to offer an insight into the bravery of the staff and guests there in a shocking situation. Films based on true events can be tricky as you already know the outcome. Still it does well to create tension and build up the characters a little bit.

The Midnight Feast by Lucy Foley is a tense read that literally radiates heat off the page! It’s set during a very hot summer, and feelings are running high.

A Manor House has been converted into a luxurious hotel, complete with private “hutches” for guests to stay in. The local people are not at all happy.

This is a story of local villagers versus wealthy landowners, local myths and superstitions and destructive secrets. There’s a nod to Daphne Du Maurier’s The Birds - I like birds, and even I was deeply unsettled by the ones in this story!

I listened to this on Xigxag audiobooks, and the story sped by. It was tense, unsettling and pretty sinister on more than a couple of occasions!

Suffocatingly suspenseful!!
