I was cranky at the end of this
As a massive Assassin's Creed fan, I was very excited for this movie. I really wanted to like it: the visuals were great, the fight scenes were fun, and an interesting story. However, there were statements said that are absolutely not true about the Assassins and this ruined most of the movie for me. As an action movie, it's pretty good and the fight scenes are exciting. The costuming was great, as were the actors.

Paranormal activity and a good true crime
And That's Why We Drink is a podcast hosted by Kristina, Em, and Geio the Dog. Em gives a paranormal (usually hauntings) story, while Kristina recounts a true crime story. Together they make the beginning of each week a little less dreadful. On the first of each month there is a "Listener's Stories" episode, which as the name implies, includes the stories that listener send in, whether paranormal, murder, or both. Each week has new and interesting stories for fans of both genres.

2010 | Drama, Sport
A solid boxing film based on a true story. This is all about the characters and Bale's performance is incredible and steals the show. More drama than a sports film or action film. It would have been nice to see a little more ring action, however the real story is the lives of the family members involved. Great film!

Oddly good
Two adults that escaped a ufo death cult receive a video and decide to go back and see if their resentment was dumbfounded or true. What unfolds is a slow story with a great twist. Better to go into this film with little knowledge and you will enjoy this kooky film.

This book was so powerful and sad. I would recommend it to anyone even if you aren't a book lover. It's such an insight to what really went on at Auschwitz as it is based on a true story.
