Sawyer (231 KP) rated Star Wars: Bounty Hunter in Video Games

Dec 17, 2017

this game was a highlight of my GameCube gaming days this fun departure from the usual lightsaber wielding Jedi Central games of the Star Wars Canon focused on the exports of Jango Fett the man who would serve as the template for the clone troopers one of the greatest military mights of the Galaxy and the father of Boba Fett a man who would be feared throughout the cosmos as he Embarked on a dangerous campaign to detain a dark lord of the Sith Empire the game would bring you to many back drops such as Savage jungle planets Prison Planet giant Metropolis Droid assembly lines and the criminal underbelly the gameplay was simple enough a mixtures of action and platformer with some slight stealth game mechanics

Kubrick's provocative examination of violence and morality. Young offender Alex (McDowell) leads a carefree life of theft, assault, and rape, until his actions catch up with him and he is sent to prison. There he volunteers for a new therapy which is supposed to remove his capacity for violent wrongdoing...

A massively iconic, much-imitated film, despite being taken out of circulation (in the UK at least) by the director for thirty years. The film's musings on the nature of moral agency are less striking than its baleful, scathing criticism of social attitudes towards crime and punishment, and the extraordinarily vivid opening and still difficult-to-watch opening sequence. A grotesque morality play with many coups de cinema; an extraordinary film by any standard.

Resident Evil: another one?

After 2 great movies and a forgettable 3rd, alice is back to tell us her name is Alice, and she remembers everything (again)
In this 4th outing in the Resident Evil saga we see our survivor (ugh, what's her name again?) Find a group of survivors including chris Redfield who seems untrustworthy and locked in a cage (if a prison can't contain him, a cage won't) a returning claire Redfield and other forgettable badass characters.
This time trapped in a flooded building, that's surrounded by the dead and with time running out, Rick....I mean Alice will lead this rag tag group of survivors outta danger and into the unknown.
Still it helps us recover from Extinction...am I right?

Gripping page turner

Wow...just wow. I read so many reviews of this book and they seemed to be a bit mixed, I almost didn't grab this book to read and I'm glad I gave it chance. Amazing. You have one friend who is dead, one who went to prison and one trying to get to the truth. This book will take you on a journey...and when you get to the end...wholly moly, look out! I enjoyed the journey this book took me on (it is possible for some a few scenes may be too gruesome) but all in all I loved this book and highly suggest it.

Slow placed in parts (0 more)

Based on a DC comic series this is the tale of 3 women who decide to play gangster up in hells kitchen when their mob connected husbands are sent to prison for 3 years.Their rise to power is noticed by the mafia and they eventually go into business together but things start to come off track when their husbands are released from jail early.

I have to say I've never ever been a fan of melissa mcCarthy but she is actually ok in this along with her two other co stars.There were a few flaws to this film,the pace of it is often slow and lacks some intensity but still an enjoyable crime drama overall.
