The Maze Runner : Scorch Trials

Going in the original Maze Runner I had low expectations, but the movie surprised me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So when the sequel came out I had to watch it, but the only thing I was concerned about was the avenue with which they were going to take the story. were they going to re-use the maze story again, what were they going to do to make this sequel any good.

But once again Wes Ball the director of the movie proved me wrong. This movie was just as good as the first and kept you interested start to finish. This is probably one of the better trilogies I’ve sat through in the past years.

It is the continuing story of the gladers and now in a desolate landscape face a series of obstacles. Yes seems unappealing but it’s action packed, just like the first and kind of reminds me a bit of World War Z in some elements. Although these films haven’t made me want to read the books they’ve made me anticipate the third movie eagerly.

When Shock, Rocked The City Of Cleveland.

Knowing a bit about this Cleveland story of Michelle Knight after it hit the airwaves on television in 2013-2014 I was intrigued to finally sit down and watch this movie. Tarryn Manning was an unusual choice for me to take the lead actress in this telemovie, but she played the part so well.

If you don’t know what this story is about, it follows the true story of Michelle Knight, who was abducted by Cleveland bus driver Ariel Castro. She was held captive for over 10years in his house. She was joined over the years by two more female abductees. Michelle seen vulnerable at times is also the strength for these women held captive. You only see the brink of what torture these girls must of endured.

I must say after watching this movie I was left in absolute shock that this could have happened and how anyone could of survived those circumstances without going into a whirlwind of depression. This movie is very powerful and after I had seen it I just said “wow”. This film has left me to want to read Michelle Knights book, and this story should be shared for these women symbolize strength and hope.

A must watch…
