A short, tongue-in-cheek guide to old classic movies from the film noir era. Like Pauline Kael only cooler!

Film noir (a term adopted well after these movies were made) represented a dark departure from the upbeat films that Hollywood produced up until the early 1940s. This collection of movie reviews provides a guide to some of most notable entries into that classic canon.

This book is the first installment of a series. The second book provides a handy guide to neo-noir movies. Also, check out the trivia questions. Test your knowledge. And stay tuned for more guides to the best and the worst movies Hollywood has created.All Rights Reserved

Wanna Bet? - Eyeball Chambers by CLQuinn

Bonnie Duchamp wanted nothing more than to leave Castle Rock. Having a "looney" father locked up, a mum who tried her best and a crazy little brother was too much for her. Everyone knows the hatred between the Cobras and the View Crew and the constant competitive nature between both groups. What happens when both groups are gambling and Bonnie gets caught in the crossfire? Will Eyeball Chambers be able to make the eldest Duchamp fall for him before his time runs out? Or will she accept the bet offered to her and break the eldest Chambers? Money can do strange things to people, it can make them do things they'd never dream of doing. Yet when all Bonnie needs for her fresh start is money, will there be some things she just won't do?

Fateful by ExoticTwist

Pulling my phone out, I checked the Caller ID. It was a number not saved in my phone but it was also a Minnesota number, someone from back home. Cautiously, I answered the phone. "Hello?" The phone was silent on the other end as I heard shuffling in the background but no answer. "Hello?" My voice more stern and annoyed. Why fucking call someone if you're not going to speak? "Nixon Pierce?" I hate when people use my first fucking name, it's so cringy. "This is Detective Tia Fletcher, with Rochester P.D. Do you remember me? I was the detective on your case." She questioned me but I had already remembered her from the name. "I was the detective who visited the hospital around the time your twins were born..." Detective Fletcher trailed off. I rolled my eyes, annoyed that this lady pops up at all the wrong times. "Yeah, I remember who you are." My voice was monotone. "Why are you calling me? I'm on my honeymoon." "I'm sorry to interrupt." The detective apologized. "I just wanted to let you know that we caught him." She clued me in, almost excited. [Part of the Bashful Trilogy: Bashful & Wistful] [Mature 18+]

The Silver Fighter | ✓ by LiseR05

"I already killed your mother, Cam." As the words left my enemy's mouth like a mocking sneer, I growled under my breath at the mention of my old name. Memories started to boil up that I had been wanting to squash deep into my heart. Bad memories. "As you can guess, I'm here to finish the job." He continued with that ever-present sinister smirk on his face. And in that moment, a sudden burst of confidence just appeared within me. Or blatant stupidity. 'I'll take either one.' I silently admitted to myself. I rolled my eyes at his so-called 'threat', not really intimidated in the least. "Yeah, like that went so well the first time. The first time, you fucked up enough to get caught by the police." I pointed out. "The second time, your grown-ass men got their asses handed to them by two teenagers." I snorted at him. "Your odds aren't looking too good here, Berti." ~•~ Losing her father? Lovely. Getting in a car accident with her aunt, uncle, and cousin and being the sole survivor? Fantastic. Losing her mother because a deranged psychopath holds a grudge even better than The Grinch? Amazing. Being ostracized from her own family save from her paternal grandparents, and getting the blame for her mother's death? Cherry on top of the cake. Having to make sure three idiotic twats don't get themselves killed because they couldn't mind their own bloody business? Bloody hell, that's an entire ice cream cake with ten pounds of gummy bears. ~•~ Join Grace Stanton as she faces her demons and the demons of her past all while trying not to commit murder against her three new friends. Fun times. (First book in the Gilded series) ~•~ [#1 Streetracer - 4/21/21] [#1 Gangs - 9/16/21] [#1 Boxer - 9/12/21] [#1 Fighter - 12/11/21] [#2 Boxing - 9/3/21] [#1 Girlpower - 2/12/21]

Suicide, suicide talk, implied suicide This contains several movies of which I do not own, I only own a few characters which are mentioned early or in my list (I will rewrite this a bit better eventually, I started to get bored of this book and lost inspiration) 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟏 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 " 𝐓𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐚 " 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 Look for the tag for book 2
