Movie Favorite

"This is, by far, one of my all-time favorite films of all time bar none. I have seen the film well over one hundred times, and I am always trying to get people to watch it with me. Funny enough, as I type this, I am in Bordeaux, France, at the first ever Bordeaux International Independent Film Festival. I was asked to pick one film that I loved that I could talk about, and, of course, it was 3 Women. The screening is tonight, and I am seeing if for the first time on 35 mm. I had seen VHS copies of the film prior to the wonderful Criterion version coming out, and, of course, I now see and hear things in the film that I have never known before Criterion brought that all in. The film has a magical quality. I experience new things and information about the film every time I see it. It’s like a recurring dream that I don't mind redreaming over and over. It’s my favorite film in the world. I would love to do a one-off film festival somewhere called The Identity Crisis Film Festival . . . and show all films that I feel are similar to 3 Women, such as That Obscure Object of Desire, Persona, and Mulholland Drive."

not one for me, sorry
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
This will be short, I really I am sorry!
I finished this, and I can honestly say that is why it gets 3 stars.
It’s not a BAD tale, not at all. It’s clear there is a lot we were not told, about Theo and Katy, and I wanted it, I wanted it all. It’s obvious that Theo is quite high up the food chain; he was very secretive about what he does. And all we know about Katy is she works in a hotel. I felt kinda short changed, from both of them.
What IS here, though, is fairly well written, and it’s been well edited. Then smexy level started to build, then went pfft. THEN went from zero to scorching in an instant! It just doesn’t work me, I’m afraid, and I do love the smexier books.
Prague sounds like a lovely place! We get a lot of Prague.
Only Theo has a say, but at the back of this book is the blurb for the next, and it appears that only KATY has a say in that one. Will I read it? Probably not.
I’m sorry, not one for me.

a tale of greed and how to redeem yourself.
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

Hank takes his dream job as tour guide at a castle in Germany. But things quickly spiral into a nightmare as hank gets tangled up in a plot to steal some precious stones. Can he get himself out of it, alive?

I found this a quick read, some 132 pages, but quite a GOOD read. Not a great one though, but good enough to keep me fully engaged.

Hank loves history and getting the job at the castle is a dream come true. But very quickly, he finds himself in danger, from a man and a woman who claim they are stealing their birth right back. He finds himself pulled under by these people, and then dragged halfway across the world, and back again.

It takes time to get the full picture, helped by the fact that not only Hank has a say, but someone else too. I wanted a clearer picture of who that was, though, and I don't get it.

Some other things are a little fuzzy, but that might just be me.

A well written, well delivered tale, of greed and how to redeem yourself.

3 good solid stars.

good but not great.
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

You know sometimes, you just need a book you can read, and not really pay much attention to? One that doesn't tax the brain too much?

This is why I enjoyed this book. It was just what I needed after a particularly difficult day at work. I started it, and then I was done.

It's a really good book, but one that didn't blow me away.

I did enjoy the speed that things moved for Lissa and Cam. Usually, that would be a negative, but I think for these two, who have known each other forever, it was probably the best thing for them.

Some attention to the language used would have been good. At points it refers to certain parts of the male anatomy in the vernacular, slang and then, for some reason, it switches to the proper name for it. Kinda threw me, that.

It does get a bit steamy, but while it's hot, it's not a lot. If that makes any sense!

I liked that who I thought was the stalker, wasn't and I love being kept on my toes for that!

I liked it, but I didn't love it.
