In Bruges (2008)
In Bruges (2008)
2008 | Comedy, Drama
Absurdly hilarious comedy of errors taking place in the wonderful city of Bruges.
Pairing up Gleeson and Farrell was a winning formula that provides hilarity in the most unexpected of places and the timing between the two is quite a thing of beauty.
Farrell manages to play his character with touch of innocent boyhood naivety mixed with violent tendencies, do not be mistaken these characters are totally nasty and psychotic and are fleshed out and believable.
It's a cult classic with outstanding performances with special mention to Fiennes for his overly psychotic turn.

Not sure what I expected from this one but the description only scratches the surface. This one is not for kids or the feint of heart as the material is very graphic(violence, nudity, sex). The acting was ok and the cinematography good but the story was just weird. Somewhat predictable(not completely) it played out slowly like a "group" version of "The Wicker Man". If you're into "cult" style stories(in the guise of ancient nordic traditions) you'll enjoy this slow burner. Otherwise, not really worth a watch.

Epic adventure!
Assassin's Creed is one of my favorite series of video games. I loved them all & this one may be the best of all. Ancient Greece is the setting & you play as one of two characters, either male or female. You play as a mercenary, which allows for many types of missions. The story is very involved and takes you all over an enormous world. The world is beautiful & it's worth exploring every inch.

My favorite new features of the game are the way you can hunt other mercenaries in the game & move up the chain. Sort of like the Lord of the Rings games where you can hunt specific orcs & goblins. The other is hunting cult members. You do missions to find out the identities of the cult members, then hunt them down. All very exciting.

So far they have kept the Azimuth stuff to a minimum, which is fine.

This game is huge. I have played for over 20 hours so far & nowhere near completing it. Not even half I would guess.

I also love the photo feature in the game & find myself using it a lot. The game is that beautiful.

If you like the others, then this is a must buy.

Scarlett doesn't remember anything before the age of four, which she doesn't find too unsettling, until, as a teen, a car accident jars her memory and makes her start wondering what happened to her as a kid. Around the same time as her accident, Scarlett meets Noah, a new kid to town, and falls for him immediately. Noah tries to help Scarlett remember her past, but does he have her best intentions at heart?

Not really sure how to explain this book. The story itself is odd - another quick teenage romance, with a cult thrown in! However, it is oddly compelling in its own strange way - I read the book in about a day or so. The writing is rather silly and disjointed at times and the plot seems unbelievable. It's not even the cult aspect, per se. It seems weird that Scarlett focuses so much on not being able to remember things before the age of four (is that really so strange)? The end of the book ties up awfully easily, without much semblance or adherence to legal niceties. All in all, while the book moves quickly, not sure it's worth that little amount of time.

(Note: I received an copy of this book from Netgalley in return for an unbiased review.)

Great fun movie but not always realistic (0 more)
Next cult horror
Honestly I went in with low expectations of this film however I was pleastly surprised by it.

This film has all the making of possible cult status whilst it not the edgest film and like most horror there are part that just aren't believable. This film had a fun factor that kept you engage and wanting to watch till the end.

Personally my favourite charcter from the film was Vince placed by Kamal Angelo Bolden. I got to watch this film at fright fest and so the cast was present to introduce the film. From Kamal introduction to seeing him on screen you could see he had one of the most charamatic personalities I've ever seen both on screen and introducing the film. Kamal charcter Vince is a drug dealer and when mist the ravers transform Vince personality stay true throughout the film this makes him engaging to watch.

Georgia Hirst plays Becky and the lead of the film it an interesting charcter as someone who at the start exhibits all the signs of somone who has OCD suddenly cope in a situation that goes from normal rave to horror flick.
