The pruge- the idea of which all criminal activity including murders is legal for 12 hours is really intesting. Like whould happen, if this really happen. I mean, its kinda of happen, but with tolet paper, paper towels, napkins and food. That their is nothing left, and if their is people are rushing to the stories just to get it. Survival of the finest thats the saying. Surviving just to see anethor day/tomorrow. I like ethan hawke, i think he is a underrated actor and he is really good in this. The bad guy is soo laughable, thats hes good but bad.

The plot: In an America ravaged by crime and overcrowded prisons, the government sanctions an annual 12-hour period during which all criminal activity -- including murder -- is legal. James Sandin (Ethan Hawke) and his family face the ultimate test when an intruder drags the vicious outside world into their home. James, Mary (Lena Headey) and their two children struggle to survive the night while trying not to turn into monsters like the ones they are striving to avoid. Also this takes place in the year 2022, so maybe it still might happen, who knows.

For me, i perfer the 2nd and 3rd one, but this one was a good start, to a good horror franchise.

Wow. Just wow. What a story. This reminded me heavily of The Lovely Bones. The stories bore some similarities. I liked how the book was referenced in the story (pay attention or you’ll miss it).

The story moved along well. I personally had the plot figured out mid book but then again I watch hours and hours of criminal programs so I’m kind of an armchair expert haha.

I enjoyed the fact it jumped from perspective. It gave personality to the story.

The loss of a child. Unanswered questions. A runaway? Murder? Kidnapping? Hope. Heartbreak. Betrayal. Guilt. This story has a plethora of emotions. Definitely a must read.

The Bane of his exisitance

A little more than half a decade has passed since the Joker tried taking over Gotham and the Batman has gone underground. A rouge mercenary known as Bane has now come to Gotham to stake his claim and make crime first and innocent last. This obviously draws out the Bat for a new fight and ends up getting help from an unlikely criminal ally known as Catwoman.

Bale has not been one of my favorite Batmen for as he is portraying a darker version. We have all grown up on different versions. Tom Hardy is good as villainous Bane and Hathaway isn't half bad as Catwoman.

Premise of story

Paul Bethany makes this film

I wasn't sure about this movie the first time I watched it, but over the years I have come to respect Paul Bettany so much as an actor that I will watch, and enjoy, anything he's in. This story centers around Mo, and his ability to read characters out of books. He's known as a silvertongue. But when he accidentally swaps his wife into a book, releasing a criminal in her place, he refuses to ever read aloud again.

This movie is good. It's worth a watch if you're in the mood for something different and enjoyable.

Escape from space

A fresh take on an old story.

A renegade CIA agent, the distant future and a corrupt government.

After being betrayed by his own government and sentenced to 30 years in cryogenic chamber 50 miles outside the earths atmosphere, our Agent is offered a way out...a suicide mission to the space prison and rescue the presidents daughter from a criminal rebellion that have taken control of the prison.

This to me is a 3rd part to kurt Russell's escape from series and I highly recommend it to any fans of them.

Great FX, great story, brilliant acting and some edgey twists.
