Movie Favorite

"The title of the film refers to “the gods”—in French, le paradis—that upper gallery in a theater where the seats are cheap and the audience boisterous. Throughout the film, we are the audience watching parallel stories in which the world of the stage, presented largely in mime, mirrors the “real-life” setting, itself of course a fiction shown on the screen. Through the obvious theatricality of the stage and the far subtler theatricality of the “real” story, we follow a tale of love, loss, and revenge straight from late nineteenth-century French literature but reinvigorated by the magic of film."

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Six Brothers (Gypsy Brothers, #2) in Books

I enjoyed this more than the first, though I can't explain why.

It's still a really strange storyline but I have to admit, it is rather addictive. You want her to get her revenge but at the same time are put off by some of the crap she's doing to get it.

Losing the brothers from the world is probably a blessing because they are as evil as their father and I can't wait to see them all get their comeuppance, except Jace of course because he's awesome.

Will most definitely be reading the third when it comes out.

Movie Rating

Serviceable action flick with an all star cast before they each BLEW up and came into their own as lead actors and actresses.

Decent, if not completely predictable, story that follows an elite military unit that is essentially blackballed (and noted as deceased) by the unit for defying direct orders in an effort to protect a group of innocent children being used as pawns.

As you can imagine, they're pretty upset about that. The movie follows their pursuit of revenge on those who've wronged them and clearing their names. A few twists later, we arrive at the assumed foregone conclusion.
