Could have been better
I feel this film got its wires crossed a little. Billed as a dark comedy, there's little to laugh at. It would have been better going down the thriller route a bit more. Kinda like single white female with a social media update. Scarily accurate in the obsession some have with social media. The ending was rather weak as well. Although overall an interesting film.
  
The Affair  - Season 2
The Affair - Season 2
2015 | Drama
The investigation of the murder takes more centre stage here as Noah and Alison's affair starts to have impacts on the lives of people in the town. Again two timeframes are on the go here, as the murder trial starts and the events surrounding the murder are revealed bit by bit.
Another great balance between drama and romance, family turmoil and a thriller aspect. Satisfying but surprising conclusion.

Something different
A decent mix of thriller and Horror as 2 kids pay a visit to grandparents they have never met before. There are a couple of scenes that will give a chill down the back of your neck. The only real downer was the finale was a little weak. With all M. Night Shymalan films though you know a twist is coming.

I received a copy of this book to review it. OMG I read it start to finish in one setting!!! This thriller is only part one so I have to wait to see what happens next. It closely resembles the current president except he was the running mate to the first woman president. Who killed the president elect during her victory speech? Was the billionaire running mate or someone else???

Escape Plan
This Schwarzenegger classic is about a disgraced soldier turned criminal who escapes prison then re-captured buy authorities but is alternatively placed in a violent gameshow where the objective is to fight to survive, in an open arena with plenty of hard hitting violent murderous "hero's".

A great action/thriller with some classic one liners, a great dark setting and brilliant plot twists. Highly recommended for acton fans.

Movie Rating
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. You start out with a plethora of questions and, unlike in many modern day thriller/horror movies, you actually get a majority of them answered. A lot darker than I was expecting it to be. Though some points, especially in the beginning, are a little slow moving, once it gets moving, it doesnt stop. Would recommend any horror fans give it a chance.
