Do you get turned on after being in a car crash?
Contains spoilers, click to show
The people in this movie do and it pretty messed up. I love David Cronenberg and all his body horror films and also the deeply provocative and sometimes controversial subject matter in his films; however, this one seemed just a bit too random and out there for me.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a great steamy sex scene in a film as much as anyone, but this movie seemed like a never-ending stretch of handjobs and random nastiness for no reason whatsoever.
The characters were not even that interesting in that all they wanted to do was grope, suck and fuck each other just for the turn on of being around a crashed car and that didn't really make any sense.
Do yourself a favor and watch Naked Lunch or Videodrome instead.

As I've said of the first two novels in this series, there are quite a few grammatical errors in these books. Not to mention, the repeated dialogue in all of them. That being said, the story is pretty solid and action packed. I like that the main character is so human for lack of a better word. She is regularly injured and carries scars from each injury instead of fully healing like in other novels. She is small but feisty and very easy to like. I do wish there were more romance or even just sex in the stories. It ramps up towards it but seems to fall short just before anything good happens. I've heard that this will change as you progress through the series but I find myself a little frustrated that I've made it through three books without much romantic progress in the storyline.

Twists & turns that are sure to keep you guessing
I was first introduced to Armada West when I read her vampire series war/SONG and I definitely fell in love with her writing style. I was a little hesitant to read this one simply because it was in a different style than the last one. When the Gloves Come Off is a contemporary romance that has basically everything you could want. It has hot sex scenes, decently developed characters, mafia men, shoot outs and a plot that will keep you guessing.
I'm an avid romance reader and I find that many of the books I have read are predictable, this was not one of them. There were twists and turns and many times I wanted to throw my book down because one of the twists came out of left field.
All in all, I enjoyed this book. If you haven't read Armada West, I highly recommend it!

A must see movie!
Not the film I would normally pick out for myself, but I'm so glad I did!
Brutal from start to finish! The story follows a hitman (Black Kaiser) on the brink of retirement when he works out that his employer (Blut) is trying to get him killed to evade paying out the enormous retirement money he has accumulated! The hitmen hired to kill Black Kaiser defintiely get more than they have bargained for and soon work out age in the hitman game is a pretty good advantage.
Quite a few sex scenes, full on brutality and an underlying story that we don't really find out about until the last part of the movie.
I did kind of find the ending could of been a lot different but wouldn't want to ruin it for those that haven't seen it.

Inclusive
Most Graphic of Graphic Novels
I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS GRAPHIC NOVEL. Obviously, caps-lock was needed. Super Fun Sexy Times by Meredith McClaren is not your typical graphic novel, nor is it something that is going to be for everyone. It's graphic, and I do mean graphic so that that into consideration. The artwork beautiful, but the content takes the cake on how amazing this book is. This book is full of consent, sweet, fun, and sexy consent. I loved that we saw characters negotiating role play scenes & realistically talking about sex. I also truly appreciated how inclusive this book was. You have people of all shapes, sizes, sexual orientation, etc. which made me want to cry with how beautiful it was.
This is definitely a book I would recommend to the right reader. It is well worth the read & a book that I'm going to have to buy a hard copy of.

Do not compare this to the original.
Watching the original Witness for the Prosecution (1957), I remember being genuinely shocked by that twist, because it came out of nowhere.This film just didn't build the story up to
This adaptation is alright, it's nothing to write home about. There were too many shots of Toby Jones walking through allies or in his dungeon-like office. I felt like this went on too long, and the added length didn't necessarily add anything to the story.
I feel like with a lot of these modern adaptations of Christie's novels, they're tending to insert sex scenes when they're genuinely aren't needed and just slow up the story. It actually makes it hard for me to suggest the new adaptations to my mother, who hates when Christie's work is altered in that particular way.
Skip this one, and watch the original film with Tyrone Powers and Marlene Dietrich.
