Slightly flawed premise for a film
Contains spoilers, click to show
The premise of the film, that there are mysterious beings that, once seen, will drive sane people to suicide and insane people to do their bidding is intriguing. That is, until you realise that this means a film where people are either stuck inside, afraid of those mad "helpers" knocking on their door, or people wandering blindfolded around looking for food, water and shelter. Neither of these for me make for a particularly compelling watch. This film is split between the two.
The former aspects of the film are by far the best, people locked in a house together, running out of food (but somehow with plenty of electricity and running water) and considering venturing outside. However, with only those insane helpers likely to come to the door, we don't have the same level of jeopardy as your normal zombie/apocalypse film.
The latter aspects, people wandering around blindfolder, are just a nonsense. People driving in a car with blacked out windows and barely bumping into anything and sat-nav somehow getting them right to the front door (and the people know they are at the front door) was just totally unbelievable. Sat-nav frequently tells me I am in the sea when driving anywhere near the coast, so the chances of it accurately delivering me to the front door of a shop I programmed it for are minimal. Similarly when people are wandering around, they rarely bump into anything at all, and when they do it is always a trip (which would be easily avoided).
And finally the premise - the mysterious beings were not explored at all. While I am happy to have some mystery around the likes of this and actually hate it when they attempt to explain circumstances and fail, I felt this was just omitted completely. There is no real rhyme or reason for what happens in the film and I didn't like that. Its really just 2 hours of people afraid of some leaves.
The rating of this was for the suspense of the film and the acting within the house section, and for the epic opening sequences where the cataclysm unfolds, despite the glaring flaws in the premise and people miraculously getting around without concussion.

Dorian Grey
Whats the cost of immortality? Would you sacrifice the love of your family and friends to stay forever young? Dorian Grey is one of those books that makes you question yourself. It is difficult to decide whether you love or hate Dorian as a character, he has charm and finesse but theres also that lack of morals that most people develop through their life.

Catan is incredible for replayability. You can play 4000 games and each one will be different. Simple rules keep the game mechanics balanced but also allow for variation. (0 more)
This is a game to play with people who play board games. Catan won't be a party favorite if you and your friends don't usually play tabletop games. (0 more)
An absolute treasure for those who like tabletop games

Movie Favorite

"Breaking Away is one of those movies that I can’t ever turn off. If it comes on and it’s halfway or two-thirds through, I just have to sit in front of it. I want that world to go on forever; you just wish that it didn’t ever end. I would love to be in this location with this people and it go on forever."

This is one of those books where you can read it so easily and quickly but at the same time not a lot seems to happen. Admittedly, that end bit has intrigued me with just who was the male voice on the end of that phone. One of two, possibly three, people. And since i have book 2 just waiting to go, I'm jumping straight into it.
