Movie Rating Watch

Not that many films better than this!

I don't know if I can recall the amount of times I have watched The Thing in sheer amazement every time.

The suspense is still there not knowing which member of the Antarctica squad will become a mutation next or even when The Thing will reveal itself to them and the audience.

Some may say Halloween is Carpenter's best film which is hard to argue against; however, I love The Thing most of all.

I can still watch it again and again and be mesmerized, disgusted and in wonderment of its sheer majesty every time.

This is the second part in this set but the seventh part in this series by this authjor. These books need to be read in order to fully understand the story between the characters. This book is full of twists and turns, surprises, drama, lies, betrayal and loads of suspense. amazing well written characters just like the first book. This is a short read but the author has packed a lot into the pages. I can't wait to read more in this set and by this author in the future.

Highly recommended set

This is the first book in this series by this author. Be warned this book has a cliff hanger ending. This is an amazing book from the first page. The characters were amazing and I fell in love with them right from the start. This is a romance read with added mystery and suspense thrown into the mix. I couldn't put this book down till I'd finished it, I was on the edge of my seat till the very end. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.

Highly recommended start to this series

Merissa (12911 KP) rated The Witching Pen (The Witching Pen Novellas, #1) in Books

Dec 17, 2018

This is the full length story of Elena and Karl and it starts when Karl is 27. For a long time, Elena and Karl have kept their relationship purely platonic due to circumstances "beyond their control" but things are about to change.

This story is full of action, romance, drama and suspense. You find out little snippets as you read along and the characters are built up. There is no insta-love in this book, just a deep and true friendship that could always have been something more if things had been different.

Absolutely brilliant and an ending which definitely makes you reach for the next book in the series!

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

Awix (3310 KP) rated La Ley del Deseo (Law of Desire) (1987) in Movies

Apr 2, 2020 (Updated Apr 2, 2020)

Almodovar's sixth movie is the one that brought him properly to international attention, but it's clear that his distinctive style was already well-developed by this point: there is the same skilful combination of suspense-movie tropes with sometimes-outrageous melodrama, and a sense of narrative playfulness.

Very strong performances from Antonio Banderas and Carmen Maura in particular, although the script seems to lack some of the deftness and confidence Almodovar would show in later movies - the shift from relationship drama to thriller isn't quite as well handled as one could hope for, and some elements of the story really do strain credibility. Nevertheless, an accomplished and engaging movie.
