Great performances
This is yet another award nominated film that I've never seen, and this is definitely one that I'm ashamed of.
This film has some terrific performances from a stellar cast - Sean Penn, Tim Robbins and Kevin Bacon especially - and a brilliant supporting cast as well. The plot itself sounds like it could be a by the numbers predictable thriller, but in fact it turns out to have some good twists and is rather dark and suspenseful. It hasn't aged the best (or it just looks horrendous on Netflix), but as crime thrillers go this is probably one of the best out there.

I received an arc copy of this book for an open and honest review.
I'm not going to say much about the story as I don't want to give anything away but this story was difficult to put down but really uncomfortable to read! It was dark, it was twisted but not in the way you would expect,I was shocked through some of it but it just kept me wanting to read more! The story was suspenseful even though I kind of knew what was going on during the story I hoped that wasn't the case. It's a well written story and I would recommend it

Trixie and her friends take a trip to Missouri, where Trixie finds some stranger papers in her hotel room's garbage can. Soon, someone is following them. What do the symbols on the paper mean?
I'm torn on this one. It was my introduction to the series, so it will always hold a special place in my heart. The fast moving and suspenseful plot captivated the 7th grade me and introduced me to life long friends. However, reading it as an adult, boy to all the characters do some pretty stupid things.

Very suspenseful
Mind hunting with intelligence.
A great second season, definitely on a par with the first if not slightly better.
Set in the late 1970s and early 80's the story follows the early stages of the Behavioral Science Unit and how they developed the profiling of criminals by talking to the serial killers who were behind bars.
Season 2 managed to top the first and also leave room got some great character development especially with the Tench family storyline. Great acting by everyone involved making it a very cerebral drama with very little action but riveting all the same.

Rope
Rope- is one of my faviorte alfred hitchcock's films.
Its mysterious, thrilling, suspenseful, dramatic, twisted, keep on making you guest until the end.
The plot: Just before hosting a dinner party, Philip Morgan (Farley Granger) and Brandon Shaw (John Dall) strangle a mutual friend to death with a piece of rope, purely as a Nietzsche-inspired philosophical exercise. Hiding the body in a chest upon which they then arrange a buffet dinner, the pair welcome their guests, including the victim's oblivious fiancée (Joan Chandler) and the college professor (James Stewart) whose lectures inadvertently inspired the killing.
I would highly reccordmend watching this movie.
