Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated The Player (The Player, #1) in Books
May 7, 2019
This is the first book in this series by this author. This is an amazing book by this author. I was hooked from the first page till the very end. This story has everything, twists and turns, amazing characters and a fantastic storyline. This book has a cliff hanger ending so be warned. The chemistry between the characters is electric and filled with lots of sexual tension. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated X2: X-Men United (2003) in Movies
Jun 10, 2019
Fans had to wait three years for the release of X2, and with it came a much better film in almost every way. By introducing new mutants including Nightcrawler, played fabulously by Alan Cumming, to proceedings, X2 was a triumph in the superhero genre that brought this untested genre into the mainstream. The opening scene in which Nightcrawler tries to assassinate the US President is one of the best action sequences put in a superhero film, with perfect pacing and great tension building.

Ross (3284 KP) rated BASEketball (1998) in Movies
Jan 17, 2018
Hilarious film about a made-up sport, free from all the corporate nonsense associated with the other major sports, and one where less athletic people could play.
From the early days of the sport's creation to the tension starting to tell in the creators (one wants to keep the sport true to its roots, the other wants to capitalise on the commercial success), this hilarious film shows Trey Parker and Matt Stone in real life for once, and is their funniest live action appearances since Cannibal: The Musical.

Great Gameplay
Superb Storytelling
Challenging Choices
Above and Below perfected, Ryan Laukat is a genius...
I admit that I love exploration games, going into and delving into the great unknown. And the stories created and tension of if you have enough to defeat on coming challenges, yet you still have to work around the rest of the world and keep your engine going. You have to keep up with everything and keep balanced. If you like Above and Below this one is better and slightly different, but both are amazing games.

Tension builds throughout film
Let down by the ending
This started as a really interesting look at a dysfunctional family dealing with grief, with the story driven by the characters, rather than by the scares. Unfortunately the last 10 minutes completely changes things, by going into WTF territory. It felt like the writers couldn’t come up with an ending to do the rest of the film justice, so decided to “shock” and confuse the audience instead. This was a shame, as the rest of the film was rather good.

Twist
Originally, I didn't really want to see this film. I thought it might be ok, and I felt super old, knowing that John Cho could convincingly play a character that had a 16 YO.
This film was completely told via computer/mobile phone screens, and it was very effective. The tension and pacing were great. I like a movie that keeps me guessing (which is rare). Though, once you watch the end, you go back through the movie in your mind and realize the clues that were being dropped.

Erika (17789 KP) rated Borg vs McEnroe (2017) in Movies
Nov 25, 2018 (Updated Nov 25, 2018)
I had wanted to see this film in theaters, but it never made an appearance in the city I live in. I was thrilled when I saw it as a Hulu exclusive. Shia LaBeouf is solid in this film as John McEnroe, and I really enjoyed Sverrir Gudnason (recently was in Girl in the Spider's Web and underused) as Borg. The movie did a great job at creating tension, and the extended scene of the Wimbledon final was completely enthralling. Overall, this movie was definitely worth the wait.

This has got to be one of my favourite shows. The gradual development of tension throughout the series keeps you wanting to see the next episode and there was never a boring moment. The story follows the main character Joe who is a stalker and takes a liking to a woman called Beck. Beck's character annoyed me and I don't understand why she had no curtains but, I think Joe's character was presented well and I liked that more was revealed about him as the series went on.

Silence is golden
I've heard great things about this after missing at the cinema as the premise didn't really grab me at first. It's a unique, original horror film with barely any dialogue! The creatures do look good but it's the human emotions that rise up in the film that leave a lasting impression. Only down side is it is a bit short with a very simple plot. The ending could have been a little better as well. Overall though a great original horror that scares with built up tension.
