MissCagey (2652 KP) rated A Bigger Splash (2016) in Movies
May 26, 2018 (Updated May 27, 2018)
A somewhat odd movie which I kept watching as I wanted to see what happened but then when it ended it dawned on me that in actual fact nothing much did happen! It's beautifully filmed, the characters are quirky, there's suspense and a feeling that something or someone is about to crack but by the end I did feel that I'd watched two hours of not much, the time could have been greatly reduced. I didn't understand why Marianne didn't ask Paul whether he'd slept with Penelope and Paul did not ask Marianne whether she'd slept with Harry? Also the Police investigation was over within seconds despite two of the characters having injuries? Some things just weren't explained and didn't feel realistic.

Storyline
I absolutely love medical dramas so this show immediately interested me. The cast was amazing and portrayed their characters very well. One of the main characters, Conrad, is a very charming but arrogant doctor that is also very caring underneath his ego. You can't help but to love his character. The interactions between the doctors and patients are believable and add to the overall tone of the show. The show has the perfect balance of drama, intensity and comedy to keep it lighthearted. It is a very enjoyable show to watch. If medical dramas are your thing or if you just like a little bit of suspense with a dab of romance underneath then this might definitely be the show for you.

Unnerving
Based on a true story, a couple are staying in the family vacation home, of the man, when three masked strangers begin to harass them late at night. This movie makes you feel uneasy in your own home as you watch the strangers harass the couple and invade the vacation home.
How easily would they get into your home? What would you do? What weapons would you have and how easily could you get to them? Would you be able to call for help? Where would you hide? Surely this would never happen to you... Right?

Unusual story
All the love for this audible release. This really is the best encapsulated, standalone romance I’ve read in an age. It’s an unusual story which is part of the strength because unlike most romance, it wasn’t a familiar storyline. The characters are equal measures of feisty, stubborn, loyal and caring and I loved them both very quickly. There's a great suspense element in this book two but it doesn't overpower.
I am a fan of kylie Scott but there was just something about how she wrote the heat in this book that was fantastic. Her plain use of vocabulary made everything come alive, if you catch my drift. Go listen the heck of Andi Arndt doing her thing on this audio.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for provide ng me with a copy of The Everlasting Rose in exchange for an honest review.
I cannot tell a lie. The Belles was one of my favorite books of 2018 and I was thrilled when I got the chance to review this one.
I loved it. The cat-and-mouse in the beginning was so well done and Camille having no idea who to trust just added the right amount of suspense.
The Belle mythology is intriguing and horrifying and like the first book this one has no small amount of body horror.
The only "complaint" I really have is that I wish we could have met the Iron Ladies sooner. I was so fascinated by them!

Scarface vs The Genie
Contains spoilers, click to show
Insomnia- was christopher nolan's threed film that he directed. Insomnia has robin williams as the bad guy. Usually he plays the funny roles, but in this he is a serious twisted bad guy and i loved it. It was a different role for him and he did a excelllent job.
Insomnia is actually a remake of the same name. The oringal came out in 1997, it was a foreign langauge film and started Stellan Skarsgard.
Inaomnia- has mystery, suspense, drama, thrills, chills and horror.
I love this film, its one of my all time favorite movies and its also in my top ten best movies of all time.
Insomnia is a must see film, also watch the oringal.

My Thoughts: This is a truly entertaining novel. It's genuinely fun and engaging. The author has done a marvelous job of bringing the past and future together to make a charming and humorous storyline. The characters are well developed and easy to relate to. Claire is a down to earth young woman trying to make a living writing historical novels; just an average girl whose life is changed forever one night when she puts on her grandmother's shawl. This novel was hard to put down, the plot is fast-paced and keeps the reader entertained.
A historical novel is full of humor and suspense with many twists in the plot that will keep the reader wondering what will happen next. A truly enjoyable read and highly recommended.

Crazy Taxi 2004: The Game
Collateral- mixes action, suspense, thrills and Tom Cruise as the villian, that is unheard of. Cause he usually plays the hero/good guy. But in this movie he plays the villian.
The plot: After a long day, LA taxi driver Max is about to knock off when sharp-suited Vincent offers him $600 to make five stops. Sounds good until Vincent turns out to be a merciless hitman and each one of those stops involves a hit. As the night goes on, Max starts to wonder if he'll live to see the sunrise, as the pair are hunted by the police and the FBI.
Its a game of cat and mice, but in a cab. Its a excellent movie.

The Low Outcome
The First Purge- a not nesscary film, a pequel film to the purge franchise and this one, like the first one is boring, nothing happens. Not alot of suspense, thrills and horror. So why borther with this film, dont watch this film.
The plot: To push the crime rate below one percent for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community. But when the violence of oppressors meets the rage of the others, the contagion will explode from the trial-city borders and spread across the nation.
Dont watch this film, its very boring. Watch the 2nd and 3rd one.
