Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Venom & Vanilla (The Venom Trilogy, #1) in Books
Jan 11, 2021
It took a while for me to figure it out and get into the story, probably a good 20% and even then it wasn't a smooth read. I was still struggling to gel with the storyline and the main character. In truth that only happened in the last 30% or so and I actually started to like the book.
I would have liked more romantic content but I can't really moan because it is a trilogy and I'm sure more will happen in the next two books... it's just a case of will I read them? Hmm.
David McK (3623 KP) rated The Karate Kid, Part III (1989) in Movies
Jan 17, 2021
A couple of the episodes in said series have linked back to The Karate Kid Part 2, which I'd watched prior to starting that particular series after it was teased towards the end of series 2. I suppose I should have known, therefore, that there would have been a couple of teases/callbacks/references made to The Karate Kid Part 3 (which I'd never seen), particularly in the storyline in which Daniel LaRusso's daughter Samantha is traumatised.
I have to say, I found this to be slower and less enjoyable than either Part 1 or Part 2, with a lame romantic subplot, and with Terry Silver in particular a one-note villain, whose brutal karate technique and training drives a wedge between Daniel and Mr Miyagi.

Awix (3310 KP) rated Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! (¡Átame!) (1989) in Movies
Jun 3, 2020
I suppose it's conceivable that you could make quite an interesting and provocative film based on such a premise, provided you approached it the right way (perhaps in this case doing it ironically might be justified). However, Almodovar plays it unexpectedly straight, and quite apart from how dodgy the basis of the plot is, not even actors like Banderas and Abril (who do the best they can with the material) can make the story work. Lots of interesting characters and story material gets crowded out to the edges of the film, and it's oddly graphic for what's supposed to be a romance. Watchable but not satisfying.
Awix (3310 KP) rated It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955) in Movies
May 11, 2020
The bits with the octopus attacking the city are put together with Harryhausen's usual verve and skill, but - as ever - they are mostly confined to the end of the film; the rest of it is rather like a stolid Navy training film entitled 'How to Deal with Giant Octopi': functional but uninspired, and (apart from a sluggish romantic subplot) almost entirely procedural. Hits all the beats of the atomic sea monster subgenre, but doesn't have the sense of fantasy or fun that the best known films of this kind have. Some good stuff but threatens to drag even at less than 80 minutes in length.
