Movie Rating

Sucker Punch will pack just that, a massive visual punch, so hard you’ll be doubled over by the stunning action sequences the film has to offer. Using a number of different scenarios from an alternative reality concocted in the mind of Baby Doll (Emily Browning), she plots a daring escape with the help of her fellow sexy inmates, and I do mean sexy.

This group include Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), Amber (Jamie Chung ) and sisters Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish) and Rocket (Jena Malone). They teach Baby to retreat into increasingly ridiculous fantasies to escape the sinister fate that awaits her. During a number of daring missions in which they tackle everything from Nazis, mechanical robots and fire breathing dragons they must acquire a selection of different items along the way each aiding them in their quest. All the time guided through by the Wise Man (Scott Glenn).

There is no denying that Snyder is one of the most exciting action directors about although some would say that his storytelling is not as strong. He leaves the backstory to be played out in the opening credits. Personally I don’t see anything wrong with that, in fact I think it is done very well.

It’s clear though from the limited and brief interlude of a back story that Snyder was only thinking about making these dream sequences as elaborate as he possibly and he certainly achieved that! The girls battle through in next to nothing, short skirts, knee high socks and push up bras. Titillating, it’s close to a peep show with guns.

Given that this is Snyder’s own original screenplay I think he has done enough to hold his own. While not as engaging as 300 or Watchmen it’s a definite A for effort with a soundtrack that is not a bad listen either.

These films were good and underrated..

Dawn of the Dead, was a underrated horror remake.

300, was a underrated period action film,

Watchman, was a underrated comic book movie and

This movie, was a underrated psychological fantasy film.

The rest of his films kind of suck.

Kudos

So I haven’t posted in a while. My main focus is to get more following for the channel on Twitch and YouTube. With everything the way it is with the world I had to aim for a goal and by sheer luck and support we made affiliate in November by sticking to a stream schedule towards the middle of September 2020. Upon hitting affiliate during a spectacular raid from sources that helped secure such a goal in such a short time was amazing. I’m not going to lie I didn’t expect to hit it so fast.
The plan was to use this as a streaming channel to play boardgames and roleplaying games such as dungeons and dragons or the Alien RPG(that’s a definite). We are heading towards the lockdown being lifted and hoping to entertain you all with our gaming. So if you have a moment and would like to see what we’re upto (currently playing Valheim, Griftlands and Monster Train) then please feel free to come along and say hello.
I know there’s a lot of streamers out there and each with their own unique character and energy but, on follow on twitch helps massively and that one subscribe on YouTube goes along way to helping them. Oh and if you have a favourite streamer you can link your Amazon prime account to twitch and subscribe to them for free which gives you perks along the way and helps them in some/most instances.
Also if you have your own channel let us know below or on Instagram and we will follow and pull you into the community.
Take care everyone and we can’t wait to get to a table and play these games that have been piling up

A Tiger’s Treasure ( Tiger protectors 2)
By Terry Bolryder

This sexy tiger detective is about to get a clue...

Carter Cunningham is all work and no play. As a rare tiger shifter working undercover as a detective, he has a lot of people to protect and no time to think about something like finding a mate. Even though he can't afford to get distracted, his tiger can't help but take notice when he's assigned a sexy new partner, one with curves that kill and dangerous secrets that make the protective tiger in him sit up and growl.

Amy Cassidy doesn't have time for workplace romance, but tell that to her body, which thinks that tall, dark and handsome Carter Cunningham is the hottest thing she's ever seen. She needs to be working on solving the most important case of her life, but every time she looks into Carter's serious, stunning green eyes, she gets completely distracted. And when she finds herself in danger, she'll realize that there's no one better than a tiger to have on your side.

As close quarters force Carter and Amy closer together during a dangerous case, what starts as a heated fling soon comes to mean much more. But with both of them keeping secrets, and Amy's past quickly threatening to catch up, is there any hope for a happily ever after?

There's always hope for an happily ever after!

Another of Terry Bolryder’s books her stories are quite short but her world building goes over all her different series’s. This is the second in the Tiger protectors and it links in more with the dragons and we learn a bit more about how the tigers came to be! Also we get to see another of the 3 brothers mates. A decent read for those that love shifter books.
