Nobody (Movie Review)

 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Summary: Hutch Mansell fails to defend himself or his family when thieves break into his suburban home one night. The aftermath of the incident soon strikes a match to his long shimmering rage. In a barrage of fists, gunfire and squealing tires, Hutch must now save his wife and kids from a dangerous adversary and ensure that he will never be underestimated again,  Opening scene: The protagonist is hand cuffed in a interrogation room smoking a cigarette and feeding tuna to a kitten. He looks beaten up but yet has this air of confidence. Fast-forward into getting a glimpse into his life and it seems  he is stuck in this routine of mundane repetitiveness.  One night a couple breaks in to steal and you can tell by his confidence and demeanor he is not afraid. If anything he held himself back because he was afraid of what he might do. However, he allowed the burglars to steal and walk away without a scratch. This only leads to havi...

True Blood |Season 2 Episode 7: Release Me (Review)

 ***This review contains spoilers*** Opening scene was pretty intense in comparison to some openings scenes from season one. Bunch of people naked, possessed and dancing. Sam being restrained to be sacrificed by Maryann. For all the times Andy has been the dickhead playing cop he shoots his gun and it gives Sam the opportunity to run away. Unfortunately, Andy ends up getting his own arm broken playing cop when trying to control the possessed townsfolk.

 ***This review will contain spoilers*** Bill's maker; Lorena is in Dallas by invitation from Eric. Seems his plan is to get Bill reintroduced to Lorena so he can swoop in and steal Sookie for himself. Not the best plan but certainly not the worst. I love flashbacks we get, especially, from the vampire's point of view, we get to be immersed in their past and we get to experience history from their point of view. It's nice to see how they've evolved over the centuries. One thing I need to point out about Bill is that with every woman is he with he adapts this new persona that matches with the woman he is with.

Fast forward to him with Sookie, he acts like a perfect gentleman. You'd hardly believe he is a vampire. It's hard to believe which of Bill to trust.  The couple who is shining thro...
