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.

Loved it
Once I got past the first few chapters I really got into it. I found it to be a bit of a slow starter due to the constant negative references to Buffy, which I get that there had to be a bit of tension there, but was maybe a bit repetitive. Other than that it was a fantastic read so I pre-ordered the 2nd one which I aim to start soon.

Again, my complaint that Goodreads doesn't allow half-star ratings. Roomhate gets a 4.5/5 stars for me! I absolutely loved the story, from beginning to end. Who doesn't enjoy a relationship where love is forbidden and the sexual tension is thick enough to taste? The ending was beautiful - no ifs, ands, or buts about it. I wanted to immediately unread just so I could re-read it all over again and enjoy the pure sunshine it put into my soul. That's literally how happy the ending made me.
Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Romancing the Null (The Outlier Prophecies #1) in Books
Jan 12, 2021
First off, I don't get the name. Their wasn't much romancing of her going on. There was some tension between her and a certain werewolf but no romancing.
Then the storyline. It felt a little unexplained in background. How did these predictors come about? I know they were all some sort of paranormal descendent but..? It also got a little confusing for me with all the predictions and how the logic worked behind it.
I did like that it was different from the norm but I wasn't entirely convinced by the story.

JUMPCUT ONLINE (77 KP) rated Killing Eve - Season 2 in TV
Jul 14, 2019
At the heart of the show are the interactions between Villanelle and Eve, which are far more than simple clashes of old fashioned good and evil, they are entirely complex and riveting to watch. There is palpable sexual tension between the two, but it transcends basic attraction. It is blissful to watch the chemistry between Oh and Comer act beside each other, and the show crescendos with sporadic confrontations of the two as you wait and savour these interactions that drive the narrative forward.

Ducklady (1174 KP) rated Alien (1979) in Movies

I have so much love for Alien
One of my favourite horror movies! The xenomorph looked fantastic and after seeing how it was all made, it makes it so much more impressive. this movie builds tension so well and Ripley is one of my favourite heroines of all time. Jones also being my favourite animal hero of all time of course. I don't think i could think of a more amazing horror monster than a chest bursting, face hugging, scary motherfucker xenomorph. it will be giving nightmares still for years to come.
