The Riverdale gang face the definitive dilemma: good vs. evil. They fight ghouls, a cult leader, a serial killer, and each other—all while sporting inspiring outfits and photo-ready hair. Great music, the occasional Vixens cheer dance-off, and too-steamy-for-high-school sex scenes add an undeniable layer of watchability to the fan-favorite show.

Download or read book Stormwind written by H. L. Jackson and published by Shadow Fox Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-15 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am Stormwind, and I'm a super-soldier in the Dark Watch. Sounds simple, doesn't it? It's not. I signed my contract under duress and underage. Plus, no one informed me that I was dead to the outside world. Not that the outside world is the greatest. Nine corporations have seized the United States and they run the government, the military and pretty much everything else in their quest for profit. We call them "Corpos." Not sure what I thought I'd find at the Watch, but it wasn't wanton sexism and a shadowy leadership waiting for the right moment to kill me. Something else I didn't expect was Firebird. The man is ungodly handsome, the Watch Lothario and exceedingly good at his job. Unfortunately, he's made it his mission to meddle in my life. For my own good, of course. So far, it doesn't seem like we're fighting the Corpos. In fact, I'm beginning to wonder what our true purpose really is – another thing that puts me in mortal danger. I joined the Watch to have something to live for. Now, I'm just trying to stay alive.

The Winter of the Witch plunges us back to fourteenth-century Moscow, where old gods and new vie for the soul of Russia and fate rests on a witch girl’s slender shoulders. Prepare to have your heart ripped out, loaned back to you full of snow and magic, and ripped out some more.”—Laini Taylor “Luxuriously detailed yet briskly suspenseful . . . a striking literary fantasy informed by Arden’s deep knowledge.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Download or read book John Huston s Filmmaking written by Lesley Brill and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-10-13 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Huston's Filmmaking offers an analysis of the life and work of one of the greatest American independent filmmakers. Always visually exciting, Huston's films sensitively portray humankind in all its incarnations, chronicling the attempts by protagonists to conceive and articulate their identities. Fundamental questions of selfhood, happiness and love are intimately connected to the idea of home, which for the filmmaker also signified a congenial place among other people in the world. In this study, Lesley Brill shows Huston's films to be far more than formulaic adventures of masculine failure, arguing instead that they demonstrate the close connection between humanity, the natural world, and divinity.
