A Perfect Continuation of the Mass Effect Series
I could seriously gush like a fan-girl about this game for hours, so I'll try to keep it brief :p The graphics are astounding, the storyline is a work of art and the characters are really awesome. There are tons of side missions to keep you busy after you finish the main story line, all aspects are really fantastic, the game mechanics are great, shooting, jumping, running, driving, it's all aces. You can be any type of Ryder you like, romantic, logical, casual, professional, or a mix of all. Romances for both male and female Ryder are good, probably the best (or my favourites at least) are Jaal and Vetra. The downside are the romance cut scenes. You can tell Bioware put more effort into some and others not so much (particularly Cora, Jaal and Peebee had the best romance scenes). Disappointments? Not many. The romance scene for Vetra was bs, I was really pissed that they didn't put much effort into it. Also, three characters I fell in love with but couldn't romance, Evfra, Kandros, and Drack. So Bioware, if ya'll are listening, give me my Krogan romance damnit! The biggest disappointment? That the game had to end. I LOVED it! Can't wait for the DLC!

Finn Butler is an amazing director in Los Angeles. His wife Diane is a well accomplished actress in soap operas. After the success of The Crossing at Blaisdell Park, he is now in the process of shooting the sequel. Finn and Diane are also in the process of selling their house, when a dead woman is found by the realtors right before the broker's open. More and more people are turning up dead all over the city and the common denominator in each case is Diane Butler. How is she connected to each of these murders? Will the police be able to find the killer before someone else turns up dead?

I had a lot of mixed emotions about this book. While the story was very interesting and I wanted to know what was going to happen at the end, I didn't find myself running to pick up the book and read it. The beginning of the book started out slowly. After the half way point it picked up a lot more and the end was much better than the beginning. There are a lot of twists and turns throughout this book, that will have you saying WHAAT? But overall the book was just OK for me. I would be interested to read more from this author.

Borderline psychotic...
This movie may have slipped under the radar for a lot of people back in 2014 but if you did miss it when it first came out, now is your chance to make things right.

Nightcrawler is a very good movie with a strong commanding lead performance by Jake Gyllenhaal. His portrayal of Louis Bloom is slick, manipulative and at times borderline psychotic.

Louis Bloom is a loner desperately looking for work. That is until he hears there is money to be made from shooting crime & accident scenes for L.A. news stations. He starts off small time but as the film unfolds he shows he is willing to do anything to reach the very top of this certain profession.

His Character is incredibly unlikable from the very first scene but Gyllenhaal plays the part so well that you can't take your eyes off the screen, no matter how much you will want to at times.

There are a few scenes that may upset people but I think it is more a statement that in today's news, people will go to any lengths to get that top story.

In summary Nightcrawler is a very entertaining movie, which keeps grabbing your attention and holding you firmly there when it's got you, with intense, nervous, even excited energy... Definitely worth a watch.
