Beautiful writing (1 more)
Great Characters
I read this first in spanish, didn't like it at all, so after Reading Laini Taylor's Strange the Dreamer and absolutely loving it, I decided to give this one another try this time in english, and that was the best desision I ever had. The writing style is gorgeus, the story it's original and I absolutely love the characters, specially Zuze.

Rey and Kylo Ren facing off again (1 more)
Return to showing hope in a dark spot.
A new New Hope
While there are many complaints of the handling of the Jedi path, I found this volume in the STAR WARS saga to be extremely fun, full of the hope the original trilogy inspired, and a lovely way to introduce more characters to root for.

Home invasion with a twist
Probably the best of the 3 Purge films, the first film gave us something fairly original. It mixes home invasion with a political, society twist. It has a what would you do in that situation vibe to it as well. Do what's right or what is safe? There are some wacky characters and plenty of tension to keep you entertained.

This Beauty is the Best
Everything worked, everything clicked. It stayed true to the original, which was nominated for Best Picture...and adds its own originality, maintaining the admired Disney charm. Disney has been around for nearly 100 years and I truly believe, having seen most of the films in its arsenal, that this is the best live action movie it has ever made.

80's Slasher (2 more)
Campy Acting
Mindfuck
This is one of the most unique 80's slashers. The whole film is filled with laughable acting. The kills are great and the characters are likable, for the most part. It is one of those instances where the original in a series is very different than the sequels it spawned, but I still love it every bit as much.
The Craggus (360 KP) rated Suspiria (2018) in Movies
Dec 9, 2018
Suspiria's strictly crone dancing may leave you bewitched, bothered and a little bewildered. (2018) #Review
It takes nerve and vision to remake something as cinematically revered as “Suspiria” so there’s no doubting director Luca Guadagnino’s ambition and confidence. In reimagining the sacred, Guadagnino manages to take the bones of the original and reshape them into something disturbingly new and yet primally familiar...

Tediously slow
I haven't seen the original so can't compare them. Seeing it got a remake I assumed the story was good.
It wasn't at all, in this version anyway. It's slow and rather boring. Not helped by the editing or pacing. Going from nothing much happening to the women throwing themselves at him all of a sudden. It lost all sense and any believability very quickly.

Emma (16 KP) rated Beauty and the Beast (2017) in Movies
Sep 23, 2018
The original beauty and the beast is my favourite Disney film ever so this was a treat to see it in love action. It didn't disappoint though I couldn't warm to Emma Watson as Belle or the reimagined look of my fav characters like Mrs Potts or lumiere. But Luke Evans was outstanding as Gaston and the back story of Belle's mum was very touching.

Not the best male vocalists
I really like a good number of the songs. Some even better than the original versions. The only things that could have made it better was if the had found male actors that could carry a tune. Lily James and Amanda Seyfried more than make up for their shortcomings though. Overall a good listen.

It’s scary, but should also appeal to non-horror fans
The ending. The director’s original plan for the ending would have made this show practically perfect. (2 more)
Could be triggering for some.
After episode 8, it gets a bit messy and goes off the rails a bit. I had to google after watching the finale because I had questions.
It’s magnificent for the first 8 episodes
