*No spoilers* An absolutely amazing and refreshing piece of cinema to say the least; From the performances to the overall experience that the movie successfully delivers to its viewers, this being none other then the make believe ‘audience’ but also us who are viewing this remarkable piece. The performances were incredible, with the obvious David Dastmalchian taking over the screen with a believable and powerful character, with the charisma and personality of a television presenter, however this can not and will not take away the rest of the cast’s amazing ability to perform incredibly well, with these performances my eyes were just glued to the screen for the entirety of the movie. Albeit the movie within the first act may be slightly cheesy, it feels as though this is what the director is going for, and it fits so well within this genre and this style of film. The differentiations in aspect ratio and colour added albeit a small yet effective element to the movie, which heightened the quality and overall experience for me as a whole, wondering and anticipating what happens next. The conflict between different characters is what made this movie so powerful and without going into too much detail; As to not spoil this movie for anyone, the conflicting personalities were what made the story interesting and compelling to the audience, excited to see how the story would meander and turn alongside the characters, as this movie is predominantly set within a studio, and all we have to rely on are the performances, the characters and the story. Again this movie was a 10/10 for me and I would happily watch this again, my only problem is it was not longer, however with what we did get, I am definitely left satisfied and wanting more from the future of this director, and the cast as well.

The game feels extremely slow, while it is better then UFC 3 (It is more fair, the grapples and takedowns are far easier) UFC 2 as a whole feels extremely momentum based, if I throw 50 punches at once, he may throw one and get a knockout due to the momentum buildup, it makes no sense however is the way it is. Overall this game has no passion, the kicks are sloppy as well as the takedowns, no effort was put into ranked, I whole heartedly recommend any other game, this game will leave you ripping your hair out. 4.3/10

While rainbow six siege is a game in which you will rage a lot, it is amazing, I have spent many hours on it and while I don’t consider myself a ‘god’ on this game I like to think I’m pretty good, the game is unique and original which is one reason I love it, furthermore the game is heavily relied on skill and aim, as well as map knowledge, therefore it takes a while to understand how the game plays out and where the best ‘hidey holes’ and ‘pixel peeks’ are. But if you enjoy first person shooters this game is a must. My only major issue is the fact that this game has got quite the reputation for having a ‘toxic community’ and while this is partially true, the game doesn’t feel as realistic as it should because an 8 year old is screaming down the mic every 5 games.

12 strong is an awesome, gripping thrill ride, however the movie does take some time to get to what the audience wants (the violence) and some characters aren’t necessarily fleshed out as much as they could be, like Micheal pena’s character has a decent personality that the audience learn about but it feels rushed nonetheless, Chris hemsworth knocks it out of the park in this movie, usually people see him as the actor who played Thor but in this movie he seems so real, at times, (mostly the beginning) the movie can seem like lone survivor (another amazing war movie) but the only one big issue I have is the movie doesn’t feel new, or original it feels like it’s been done before in other war movies that you may have seen, however that doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy the movie it Just means the movie will feel disposable afterwards, it won’t be talked about in years to come, but it will still be seen as an amazing thrill ride from start to finish, if the overall story doesn’t thrill you, the tension and action will.
