At The Lowest,Love Saves Us All

Bullets whiz,bombs blast
crumpled homes,
families last stand.
fragments,destruction
cloud the air,
choking life.
road of ruins,
littered souls
clog the streets.
Silent prayers,
fall on deaf ears
burst at first strike.
Fallen brothers
at my feet
worshipping a false prophet
No better than them
I fall to my knees
wishing…hoping…wanting you.
Death masquerades,
lowly hum,
time ticks.
Seconds to spare.
The pen
my last weapon.
Writing these words
a beacon for my soul.
“I’ll Always Love You”

Hitman 4/5stars

Hitman
Directed by:Xavier Gens
Written By:Skip Woods
Starring:Timothy Olyphant,Dougray Scott,Olga Kurylenko

Synopsis:

Film adaptation of the popular gaming franchise Hitman. Agent 47 , a clone and a hitman is hired by a group called “The Agency” and quickly thrust into a political conspiracy.

Review:

I hate to compare two different movies but this is similar to The Bourne Triology in the style it was shot and some of the action scenes. There’s more bloodshed that I would have figured . but I’m a sucker for blood and gore so its all good. Timothy Olyphant  made a  pretty good Agent 47 but I’m stilled bummed that Vin Diesel didn’t get the part.Overall its a great action movie , better than most game to movie adaptations. Some things were out of place in the film but not enough to detract my enjoyment.

Verdict: A very good game to film adaptation. if you like Bourne Supremacy movies then you’ll like this , so go out and BUY it. 4/5stars

Never Back Down ***stars

Never Back Down
Directed By: Jeff Wadlow
Written By: Chris Hauty
Starring: Sean Faris,Amber Heard,Cam Gigandet,Djimon Hounsou

Synopsis:

A rebellious teen at a new school is lured into an underground fight club and finds that he has something to fight for.

Review

After starting a brawl,his mother things a change of scenery will do the family good and moves the family to Florida. Jake stumbles upon an underground mixed martial arts club ran by students at the new school. Jake will have to face his greatest threat and the past  before he can truly be happy with himself. I’m a big mma junkie and its good to see a movie based around the sport in a way. While its not a homerun of a film it kept me interested and I’ll be getting the dvd once its released.

Verdict: If your fan of MMA or fighting movies then you should go out and  RENT this. 3/5stars
