Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated The Handmaiden (2017) in Movies

Fabulously deceptive, deliciously dark
Park Chan-wook has pulled another delicious thriller out of the bag after his Vengeance Trilogy and Stoker. It is dark, filled with violence and sex, but the cinematography is decadent and the vivid colours spill out of the screen.
The story itself is filled with twists and turns, even tying your stomach in knots watching it. It's a question of who betrays who? Which of the characters are con artists?
I love the fact that there is a strong female presence in this film like Park's other stories. Absolutely gripping.

Contains spoilers, click to show
It is on the verge of good and very good, it is quite gripping and kept me entertained, normally I do things whist watching TV or films, this I gave 100%. The storyline has twists and turns and I managed to guess the corrupt cop incorrectly. The ending was quite sudden and it would have been nice to know what happened to her but their is an opening for a second one. Made me think of Kill Bill, John Wick and Red, so if you like those film you might enjoy this.

The Rock and explosions - what else do you need?
Certainly not Die Hard or The Towering Inferno; however, if you suspend your disbelief and just go along for the ride, the movie works as a gripping actioner.
Somehow The Rock manages to continually pick movies for himself that he is able to carry on his shoulders and this one is no exception. He does his job, makes you believe in his cause and hope for him to succeed.
Hope he doesn't fall!

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Breaking Love (Full Hearts, #2) in Books
May 7, 2019
this is the second book in the full hearts set, but you do not need to read the first one, they are really standalone read just slightly linked threw secondary characters. this is a good read, must say not as good as the first but still worth a read. as the story line unfolds the story becomes more gripping and I couldn't put it down in the final characters. this is a very steamy, romantic and very enjoyable read. would definitely recommend

Zuky the BookBum (15 KP) rated Slade House in Books
Mar 15, 2018
Mitchell never fails to amaze me. Slade House is gripping! I read this within 2 hours, not even putting the book down for dinner.
Combining several separate short stories to create one entirely tantalizing plot, Mitchell doesn't leave readers unsatisfied. As the book goes on we find out more about the two mysterious beings creating lifelong destruction in the equally mysterious Slade House and as we find out more, we wish we hadn't.
Creepy, thrilling and beautiful, this book is an excellent read for any horror genre lovers!
