Gamer
But the movie...oh my. It's rated R for a reason. There is graphic violence and nudity; the first I was expecting, the second I was hoping to avoid and get just a good action movie - but at least it's not like the useless Crank movies which I got conned into watching.
The characters were pretty good, though Michael Hall's character, Castle, I didn't find 100% solid. He came across as a deep southern good 'ol boy - who somehow creates this digital empire. Gerard Butler's character, Kable, was more believeable though I don't think the reveal as far as the main motivation to his plot and character was well done.
The setting - eh - didn't require much.
The plot. Okay. It's an action movie - so it's pointless to warn you about the obvious violence, right? I hope so. You do get interested in the whole idea that a person can control another real person. I thought that the whole, have so many battles and win your freedom, thing, was too a la Death Race for my taste. I know I didn't care for the whole sexual aspect of controlling a person, but I understand the implications it raises for the plot.
The whole musical number was a bit much I believe. It was interesting but - weird. I could say more but I need to go to bed....

About Me
- Cid
- Grew up traveling to rodeos with my parents. I've gone across the world thanks to my gypsie feet. I feel sometimes like I've done everything & nothing. I've played roller derby, traveled parts of the world, have four degrees. I've done some things most people will never do in their lives & still I want to do more. I want to work with orphans & teenagers again. I'm a Christian. I have a lot of tattoos. I like art therefore I want to be art. I love people. I started writing years ago when I was a kid. I think at the time it was an outlet for me; I found escape in my word & the worlds I created. Eventually I just started to like creating stuff & that's when I started sharing it with other people. Now I think I write every day. I want to do NaNoWrMo this year. I'm also learning how to knit. I think I'm on my way to being an eccentric old woman who runs around the world doing silly cazy things and knitting while she does them. Be on your guard I have knitting needles!
