Book Favorite

"This book never fails to intrigue me and touch me to my core. The characters, the philosophies, theories and life lessons are abundant and stunningly simple, too. And the best gift literature could have given us actors is the concept of doing it “for the fat lady.”"

Movie Favorite

"This film about intimacy and longing was the first movie I saw by Wong Kar-wai. He has found a way to draw you into the personal lives of strangers and wrap you in their secrecy. The visual style and sense of color still intrigue me."

Brilliant
For me this is one of the best animated films out there, and puts so many modern day ones to shame, despite having been made nearly 30 years ago! It's an adventure, so fun and entertaining and full of intrigue. And Totoro is the cutest thing ever.

Tense and thrilling
Fantastic series
A fantastic tv series. Got completely hooked on it, although its not something I'd automatically look at, Im glad I did. It's tense and emotional, wraps you up and draws you into their world of deception and intrigue. Best spy fiction I've ever watched.

1995 | Drama, Mystery
A classic if ever there was, a simple mystery story woven with such style and intricate character development it has you entranced as you attempt to untangle the web of intrigue it builds with great tension, each of the characters is thoroughly unlikeable and stereotypical and the ending is a peach.

High expectations, slow burn.
The first 2 episodes of this series were a lot slower than some had expected, but that is pretty normal to my mind.
The series really hit its stride in the third episode onwards: we saw some epic battle scenes and some good old political intrigue and back-stabbing.
