Movie Monday: Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children

Do you like Tim Burton movies? Well I don't know about you but I like these type of odd but fun movies. Wether it's Batman and Batman Returns, Sleepy Hollow or Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children I think they're all fun to watch. But how good is Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children? Well let's find out!

This is another weird movie?

 Eh...yes, but before you think this movie is a waste of time I would like to add that it's a good movie! Sure you might need to a have a bit of an interest for weird and unusual things but if you can handle and accept that then the movie should be quite enjoyable. In the movie you follow Jacob Portman when after a strange encounter and the death of his grandfather he decides to look for a certain Miss Peregrine that is mentioned in the old stories of his grandfather. At first he doesn't believe she and the children from the stories actually exist but he meets them on an island. There he finds out that these kids have weird abilities and that there are monsters that hunt them. So it's up to him to protect him, but at the same time he has his father with him on the island so he is kind of balancing between two worlds. To make things even weirder, Miss Peregrine and the children live in a time loop that is in 1943, yeah that makes things absolutely a lot weirder!

What makes this movie good?

 From my experience it's the adventure that I really like, discovering new things and finding out about the powers of the kids. The movie might be a bit disturbing for young kids but I think that teenagers and adults will like this movie. Eventhough not everyone will probably like the part where the monsters eat eyeballs. I do like the setting in the movie, the characters are a bit weird and sometimes even silly. Just keep in mind that this isn't your typical kid movie, so bringing in young kids to see this movie is a mistake! You could see this movie as some type of super hero movie, except it's a bit weirder and the heroes are kids. Maybe not everyone likes this movie but I do, it has some interesting scenes for example when Jacob and Emma go underwater and she shows him her secret hideout in a sunken ship. I can really recommend this movie if you like something weird and at the same time a bit disturbing, but it's still fun to watch!

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
