My week off!

             [Quickmeme]

Hello everybody. I took an inpromptu week off this week. Was only meant to be for Thanksgiving weekend but on Sunday I started to get a bad flu. Still not quite right at the moment. Chicken noodle soup would be great at the moment.

So what have I been watching on my week off? Besides the shows I usually write for this week I started watching Mr. robot, and I have to say it is pretty great. Think Fight Club meets The Social Network, very much shot like a David Fincher movie. It's gritty and had me hooked pretty quickly. Definitely a must see for those who haven't watched it already.

So I decided it was time to watch some Christmas Movies and I popped this on. I thought it would be great and I'd be instantly transported back to my childhood. It wasn't great, it was OK I suppose and the ending was pretty great. I'm no prude but what I can't abide is nakedness for no reason and when Billy Ray Valentine gets his new life he has a houseparty where random women get naked for the sake of it. But if you like that sorta thing then you'll love it. Though it's main theme is pretty much relevant to today's society, so it has aged pretty well. We'll besides all the random boobs.

So when the Civil war trailer broke I went back and rewatched Winter Soldier (for I think the sixth time this year). It's a great movie, I am always enthralled by it. The action, the story, the big plot twist and the even bigger plot twist. I don't even think of this movie as a Superhero movie, it's a great spy/action/thriller with some great comedy thrown in. Would definitely be at my number one spot of Marvel movies if Guardians hadn't been made. Though this movie made me like Captain America, which was no small feat.

So I don't usually talk about games but I played through Episodes 1-3 of the TellTale games series at the weekend and I loved it so much I had to break the rules for it. I did not think I'd enjoy playing a bit character in this world but I was wrong, the graphics can look basic but at times it looks so beautiful, especially the Wall and beyond. I smashed through the first three, the story is great, I screeched when I released my location in the first scene. It's pretty fun and really engaging, if you enjoy a good role playing game or if you like Game of Thrones then you will definitely enjoy this. I also got the walking dead set for free but I enjoyed GoT best. Hopefully get 4-6 for Christmas. 

So that's my views on my week of viewing, what about yours, comment below. If you like my ramblings then please feel free to check out some of my posts below.

Game of Thrones - The Hall of Faces Trailer and Theories!

I've been watching out for this trailer for the past week and was pretty excited to see some footage from the new season. Instead we got to see the faces of characters, some of whom are long lost, and others who have yet to leave us. SPOILER WARNING for those who haven't caught up with season five. The trailer takes place in the Hall of Faces, which is inside the House of Black and White in Braavos. The hall looks great, creepy but great. We can hear some whispers which are too quiet for me to make out. Then Ned's (Sean Bean) face appears on screen, we then hear him say a line from the show's first ever episode called Winter is Coming.    "The Man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." The screen then fades to black and we then see a clip of some more rows of heads. We then hear even more whispers and which I think sounds like some drops of waters. We then hear the voice of Robb Stark (Richard Madden) who we hear give a quote from seaso...

Mental Illness in TV and Film - Dementors

                                                                                                      Image Source Dementors have haunted me ever since I read The Prisoner of Azkaban way back in 1999. I was a Pre-Teen who was pretty much unaware of the depression that was just around the corner, in a way this book prepared me for what was to come, and after multiple reads, it became my go-to reference when explaining my depression. First off let's give a brief outline of Dementors, these magical wraith-like creatures can generally be found guarding Azkaban Prison, sucking the happiness, hope, and peace out of everyone around them. If you have had a horrible life marked by loss and abuse (just like Harry) you are much more affecte...
