Jun 5, 2019
Brilliant study of two very different boys that follows their very different paths as they try to escape the slums of the favela.
The story is visceral and unflinching in its violent and frantic storytelling, which can be jarring, not an easy film to watch, but an important one, in a word, masterful!

Plot
Escape into your headspace!
If you want an escape from the daily grind with a little mystery, sexual chemistry and a surprise ending, that you won't see coming...read Escaping Reality! Definitely a page turner with spot on character interactions that give little risk and reward.

Snake Why
Escape From L.A.- is just not good. The CGI is awful, like really bad. Their should of never been a sequel to "Escape From New York", and why wait for 15 years to make a sequel. The only good thing is Kurt Russell as Snake.
The plot: In 2013, the United States president (Cliff Robertson) is exiling all citizens who don't conform to his hyper-conservative views to Los Angeles, which became an island after a huge earthquake. But, when the president's daughter nabs the detonator to her dad's apocalyptic weapon and sneaks into L.A. to be with the rebel leader she loves, the government taps commando-turned-crook Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell) to retrieve the young woman. And, if he doesn't succeed quickly, he'll be executed.
Its not worth watching.

Escape Plan- takes two big actons stars and throws them into a prison and escape it. Opps did i spoil it. Its in the title.
The Plot: Tough and chiseled Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone) knows how to infiltrate a prison -- and bust out of one. His latest job leads to a double-cross, leaving him stuck in a high-tech facility with the worst that society has to offer. Luckily for Ray, he meets Emil Rottmayer (Arnold Schwarzenegger), an inmate who secretly helps him hatch a plot to win his freedom. Only sadistic warden Hobbes (Jim Caviezel) stands in the way of the two men successfully making it out alive.
I would highly reccordmend this movie.

Great maps
Unsettling fear and paranoia
An unsung masterpiece
This game is one of my absolute favorites. Its quiet, unsettling, and nerve-wracking. I like to describe it as a mixture between Battleship, Minesweeper, and The Thing. Humans are racing to outrun aliens on a shared map system. Random chance allows you to bluff or biff making noises as you try to escape. Can you fool the aliens into believing the fake sounds or will they track you down? Who is an alien anyway?! The addition of item cards and secret identities take the game to the next level. I love the malfunctioning escape pod too. This is a perfectly distilled minimalistic horror game and I AM HERE FOR IT.
