The Legends Come True
Urban Legend- is a really good movie. I love the concept/plot of the film. The cast is really good plus it has cameoes from horror icons: Robert Englund, Brad Dourif and Danielle Harris.
The plot; A university is beset by a rash of gruesome murders that resemble old urban legends. When her friend Michelle (Natasha Gregson Wagner) is killed by someone hiding in her car, Natalie (Alicia Witt) begins to notice the pattern. Her suspicions grow stronger when her own roommate is strangled to death. Soon the quiet college campus is transformed into hunting grounds for a maniac, and Natalie struggles to find the killer and stop the bloodshed before she becomes the next victim.
Its a really good film and highly recordmend it.

Very enjoyable
This is similar to the King Arthur movie with Charlie Hunnam. Urban street meets classic legend. It was fun and action packed adventure with the right amount of rogueish antics. Again my only issue was with the villain of the story, who just seemed too weak. Overall, it was well made and enjoyable. Id watch it again

First thing I have to say is the cover really put me off. I expected it to be some sort of paranormal romance, when currently I'm into my Urban Fantasy Romance's, where the romance part doesn't take up most of the story and happens as a sort of product of them being thrown together to fight whatever evil they have to face together. Well, this was more of an Urban Fantasy Romance, thank God.
The world building was very interesting and the Prime's of this world; terrifying. It was like they were missing some integral part of their psyche where they fought killing people who annoyed them was acceptable. But Mad Rogan had some redeemable qualities in the end and I grew to really like him.
I cannot wait to see what happens next with these two.

So don’t see The Interrupters out of some grudging civic duty. See it for the beautiful and horrifying people, for the despair and the against-all-odds uplift. Hardiman stresses that CeaseFire doesn’t talk religion but it does work to save lives.

Fresh take on a classic
When I heard this was being made and saw the trailer, I thought, no thanks that looks rubbish. However, I watched it and I loved it. Charlie Hunnams acting was strong and powerful. Although I found Jude Laws character very weak. I actually found myself liking the urban take on this medieval classic.
