David McK (3632 KP) rated Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) in Movies

Dec 31, 2019 (Updated Apr 28, 2020)

The darkest of the original Indiana Jones films, with Indy becoming caught up in recovering the Sankara Stones for an Indian village, in a film that - along with the likes of Gremlins - led to the creation of the PG-13 certificate.

Beating Hearts torn out of chests? Child slavery? Baby serpents slithering out of a dead snake? questionable depiction of Indian cuisine and the goddess Kali? A screeching (future) Mrs Spielberg as the co-star? All here.

On the other hand, there are some rather good set-pieces, such as the mine-cart escape or Indiana on the rope bridge as the cultists close in from either side …

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated The Bastard (Filthy Trilogy #1) in Books

Jan 20, 2019

fab read

This is the first book in this series by this author. What an amazing start, you are sucked into the story from the first page. This is definitely an intense read, which will keep you reading long into the night. Exceptional characters which have amazing intense chemistry between them. This story had drama, intrigue, suspense and lots of hot and steamy scenes. This book ends on a cliff hanger. I can't wait to read in this series and by this amazing author in the future.

Highly recommended start to the series

Escape from space

A fresh take on an old story.

A renegade CIA agent, the distant future and a corrupt government.

After being betrayed by his own government and sentenced to 30 years in cryogenic chamber 50 miles outside the earths atmosphere, our Agent is offered a way out...a suicide mission to the space prison and rescue the presidents daughter from a criminal rebellion that have taken control of the prison.

This to me is a 3rd part to kurt Russell's escape from series and I highly recommend it to any fans of them.

Great FX, great story, brilliant acting and some edgey twists.

The Greater Good

Saw VI- im sad that im almost done with the frachise, i would want to rewatch it again sometime soon in the near future. Like i said in prevous reviews- i love the story line, the twist and turns throughtout the story line, the charcters and the endings.

The Plot: With Jigsaw (Tobin Bell) still directing events from beyond the grave, Hoffman (Costas Mandylor) emerges as the heir to the killer's twisted legacy. But as the FBI closes in, Hoffman sets in motion a game that is designed to reveal Jigsaw's grand scheme.

A must watch franchise, if you havent seen it yet.

As a CJUS major and a future lawyer, this movie made me nerd out. Obviously, Matt Damon is a hottie and the film is worth watching for him alone, but Danny DeVito and Jon Voight too? This cast is phenomenal. The story was so good too! Johnny Whitworth's performance, though short, was super incredible, heartbreaking, and solid. He roped you in so well and just made you feel for him - even though it wasn't that hard.

I could watch this a million times over and even though there were definitely mistakes (the legal ones), it was worth overlooking and still an enjoyable film, no doubt.
