Ben Wheatley recommended GoodFellas (1990) in Movies (curated)

GoodFellas (1990)
1990 | Crime, Drama, Thriller

"I guess there would have to be a Scorsese movie, but there are so many to choose from. You could go for the trilogy –the Goodfellas, Casino, Wolf of Wall Street trilogy — which I absolutely love. I mean, the rise and fall, it’s a classic thing in cinema — all our lives are a rise and fall, aren’t they, if we’re lucky; it could be just a bit of a rise as we go from adulthood to old age and then we die. [Laughs] But Goodfellas and Casino, the journey of those movies to The Wolf of Wall Street, is where the morality is slowly sucked out of them. So Goodfellas is a film where they have a system, a moral code, which is eroded in Casino, where they have a slight system or morals, but it’s all slightly tarnished. But by the time you get to The Wolf of Wall Street, there’s no moral code at all."

The film relishes in the debauchery, the sex, the drugs, the money, to the point where it feels more like a Project X for adults than a contemplative Scorsese film.

Enemy to friend
This is a great tale that shows how a wolf becomes a friend to a hunter and evolves to more.
Some of the shots were shot near where I live . So i love seeing the Canadian badlands on the large screen.

I enjoyed this book more than the first in the series, Cinder. The plot moved along much more quickly and it didn't take me as long to get hooked in to the story. There are a bunch of new characters added in this book... Scarlet (little red riding hood) & Wolf (the bog bad wolf) being the two main additions. The 2 classic fairy tales mesh well together & add more interest along with several unexpected plot twists.
I'm going to stop this review now so I can get started with Cress. The only problem I have now is that the fourth & final book doesn't come out for a year!!!

A rhr and book 1 of shifter mates trilogy

Astrid is a fox shifter who finds herself fighting to claim her wolf mate from a black magic witch!

She becomes conflicted when her feelings for another fox shifter collide with her feelings for her wolf.



This is the second series of Crystals you I'm reading. They are shortish books and I tend to get them done in 24/48 hours.

I'm enjoying Crystal Ash Her books flow well and keep you interested. I'm left wanting not after this one I'm looking forward to seeing it develop. I like her use of different shifters. Her characters are interesting.

This is a short but sweet introduction to Sean and Jenna of the Kagan Wolf Pack. Sean is fighting against his wolf's instincts of claiming his 'place' within the pack. He refuses to shift and instead tries to drown out his wolf by drinking at the local bar instead. Everything is going well until he meets a female shifter who pushes all the right buttons, challenging him to act as her equal.

A good introduction to these two characters, whilst still leaving you wanting more in general. Definitely recommended as a quick but hot read.

Summers wolf (westervelt wolves book2)
By Rebecca Royce

 
Three years ago, Summer Morrison's happy, normal life was thrown into upheaval. Forced to discover, before she was ready, that she was half-wolf shifter and mated to the pack's enforcer has left Summer moody, shaken, and resentful. When tragedy strikes her family, Summer is forced to come back to the world of the Westervelt Wolves...and into the arms of Cullen Murphy.

Cullen has waited three years for Summer, having promised her mother he would give her time to grow up. But he's never forgotten his mate and craved her presence since he first saw her on the battlefield three years earlier. The trouble is, now that Cullen has Summer, he has no idea what to do with her. Three hundred years of being alone has left Cullen socially inept and more lonesome than he would ever admit. He lives with the guilt and shame of his deeds, while knowing his role is pivotal to the pack's survival.

Together, Cullen and Summer will heal each other's wounds and discover that life is worth living as long as they are together. Now there's just the little matter of Kendrick and Claudius, their evil henchmen, the army of miscreant wolves, and the demons that keep attacking. If they can survive, their love will be everlasting. But failure will mean not only their destruction, but the end of the Westervelt Wolves.

When love is eternal, failure is not an option





I actually enjoyed this one more than the first book Her Wolf! Summer was more my kinda girl taking no shit from anyone especially her mate, who by the way is the better wolf! I do enjoy Rebecca Royces books she has a certain way of writing that’s fast paced but doesn’t feel rushed! I recommend to all wolf shifter fans!
