Cryptic, Weird, Bizarre, Interesting, but not great....
I liked it but got board before the first season ended, and the the talk was only making me more confused, and it sounds like very few people actually knew what they were talking about.... which is great for the water cooler, but not great Tv in my book.

I really liked this book, it had fab characters and a even better story. this book has some hot steamy scenes which only add to the story. the story is fast paced and has a very cryptic ending to keep you guessing as to whether there's going to be more. the epilogue is defiantly a must read.

Hmmm … visually stunning (as was the original movie), following Sam Flynn - the son of Kevin Flynn, who has been missing for over a decade - who gets drawn into the world of Tron following a cryptic message from his dad's old arcade.

With Daft Punk providing the soundtrack and with the glaring neon colours throughout, as I said up top: this is definitely visually stunning (and it's good to see the Light Bikes/Disc Wars back), albeit saddled with a somewhat leaden plot and pacing issues.

You don't know what you got til it's gone
At the time the city finally turned off the lights it was starting to feel a bit dated. But there was supposedly plans for a coh2... Unfortunatley ncsoft in the head chose not to continue down this path and pulled the plug. Seriously one of the best character creation tools I've seen in a game. Many of the missions played like a comic. And it didnt matter what server you played on. The community was awesome. Cheers to cryptic

I loved this! I got so excited when I saw the thirteen questions about Lemony Snicket that were being asked, and I loved it even more when I discovered that they were being answered in the typical Snicket way – cryptic and nonsensical.

The book is made up of multiple letters, newspaper clippings and diary entries that explain everything and nothing at the same time.

It did give a few of the characters some more background which I enjoyed, and it explained the relationship between the characters a lot more than the book series does.

It never tells you the exact truth. I stared at the Snicket family tree for ages trying to work out the initials!

Famously cryptic Russian existential SF classic, or possibly just three men wandering about on some waste ground for two and a half hours. A 'stalker' leads a writer and a scientist into a heavily guarded zone which contains a room that supposedly gives existence to the fondest desires of anyone entering it. They discuss philosophy. A lot.


Not quite as challengingly impenetrable as some of Tarkovsky's work, but still challengingly dense and subtle. Almost all the actual SF content is left to the imagination of the viewer; the film is primarily about discussions of virtue, faith, psychology, and many other abstract things. Mesmerising to watch, but quite hard work; there's a good chance it's every bit as good as everyone else says, but I'm just too thick to figure that out.

The Bone Collector- is a unique mystery thriller that ups the suspense and mystery to 10 fold. You keep on guessing until the very end of the movie, you will be surprised on who it is, that how good the suspense and mystery is.

The plot: Policewoman Amelia Donaghy (Angelina Jolie) is in hot pursuit of a serial murderer whose calling card is a small shard of bone extracted from each of his victims. Unable to decipher the cryptic clues the killer leaves behind at the scene of the crime, Amelia calls upon quadriplegic forensic criminology expert Lincoln Rhyme (Denzel Washington) to help. With Amelia acting as Rhyme's able-bodied go-between, the pair piece together disparate clues, hoping they will learn who the next victim is.

Its a very intresting mystery thriller that will keep you on edge until the very end.
