in theory, the moment you saw the camera you should have known something was coming.
it was one of those peaceful saturday nights on raw, a rare evening where you didn’t have a match to be a part of in any shape or form. you were simply enjoying the energy backstage as you could hear the crowd thrumming beyond the walls, watching matches that didn’t involve you on the monitor. management had requested you come along for some segments, so you were somewhat on guard, but the most you expected was an interview with renee.
you did not expect for the imperium to trudge towards you, trailed by a camera man as they came over with their proposition.
“are you ready to be on the losing side again?” gunther asked, trailed by his lackeys sad they stopped before you, circling like hyenas on the prowl.
you could only cross your arms in defence. “what makes you so sure we’ll lose?”
ludwig laughed from his leader’s left side, an air of certainess to his posture. “oh come on, y/n. you know as much as we do. you’re too good for those brutes, pardon the pun.”
the brutes in question being the stable you had taken on under your management. the brawling brutes were a separate endeavour to your solo career, but it was no secret the group had thrived under your care. if you had been coerced into joining in the first place by a particularly charming irish man, no one would have to know, either. it just so happened your management were looking for another way to push you, and acting as manager for such a powerful stable seemed like a dream when that opportunity fell in your lap.
but of course, once you proved to yourself and the rest of the wwe universe that you knew how to handle yourself both inside and outside of the ring, it wasn’t long before others tried to hunt you down. the brawling brutes were gaining power quicker than a steamroller, and of course people would give anything to stop them in their tracks.
“and what’s in it for me? if i betray them?” you crossed your arms in front of your chest, playing up to the camera, but asking more for your own gain than anything.
“unprecedented power, y/n. sweet, sweet power.” gunther added, motioning for the rest of his stable to follow as he began to walk away. “think about it, you’ll make the right decision.”
—
you gave a knock to the men’s dressing room door, a telltale shout of ‘decent’ giving away exactly who was in there — his accent certainly stood out amongst most.
pushing open the door, you were met by one single figure hanging back, but the man you needed to see. sheamus was standing there as decent as decent could be for a wwe superstar. it made you blush slightly, but you couldn’t quite understand why. you were used to going arm in arm with the man weekly when he was in nothing more than tight underwear and body oil — yet seeing him standing, clad in nothing but sweats, felt more intimate than before.
“heya, sweetheart.” he mused, charming as ever even when his in ring persona was lessened by the absence of cameras. “missed me that much?”
you rolled your eyes fondly, giving a light shove to his shoulder as you passed to take your place on a bench nearby. “don’t flatter yourself.”
sheamus grinned, a secondary emotion that you couldn’t place flashing past his eyes momentarily. he would never relent, and whilst you always had a rebuttal on the tip of your tongue, you wouldn’t deny how you were consistently forced to turn away, mainly so the man couldn’t see the reddening of your cheeks.
as the leader of the brawling brutes, it was sheamus who you came into contact with the most, and the two of you had built an interesting dynamic over the past few months. he had never hidden his affections for you in the ring, always jumping at an opportunity to be by your side, but you had foolishly put this down to his character, and never thought much of it. he was a naturally charming man, wildly different from everyone else in the roster, and it would have been easy to fall for someone like that. so, aware he was simply just being a character, you shut yourself down to every attempt to place that charm on you, not allowing the possibility for heartbreak.
“i had an interesting conversation today.” you commented quietly, crossing one leg over the other as you watched sheamus ruffle his wet hair from the shower with a towel (bright pink, and strangely familiar? was that a little decal of a flower? where did he get your towel from????). “let’s just say the last thing i was expecting today was to be accosted by imperium.”
sheamus stopped his drying motions immediately, hands coming back down to his side. “imperium? what the hell are they doing? trying to intimidate you?”
you hummed, considering how to approach this. “quite the opposite. in fact, they’ve got it into their minds that i’d be better off by their side, instead of yours.”
then, sheamus barked out a laugh and returned to his prior movements, seemingly unconcerned by the initial offer from your opponents. “well, can’t fault them for trying. as if they’re worthy of you.”
you stayed silent, watching as your friend and in ring partner raided his gym bag in search of a shirt.
“i mean. they’re not wrong when they suggest my style fits theirs slightly better. when i’m on my own i think anyone would have put me with them over you guys.”
silence met you, and when you glanced at sheamus, he wasn’t even looking in your direction. too focused on untangling his shirt straps. for a moment you thought, if that was how much he cared, then you might just take imperium up on their offer—
“you really think that?” sheamus asked darkly, not sparing a glance to his side.
shrugging, you added “i mean, we don’t know for certain but, what have you exactly got to offer me in terms of furthering my career?”
sheamus barked a laugh, but it was void of any humour. “i could list a million reasons why you suit us, sweetheart. how many do you want?”
you raised an eyebrow, his tone rattling straight through you. he was intimidating when he wanted to be, and it was clear that on stage persona was blurring with the man behind the camera for just a second.
“stephen.” you offered as warning, rarely choosing to use superstars’ real names unless the moment required it.
he spun quickly, taking one look at you before any of that hardness slipped away from his features and he was back to looking at you with a level of respect and awe.
“you’ve seen what we can do with you by our sides, y/n. you’re a warrior in and out of the ring. imperium don’t want to further your career, they want to use you for their own benefit.” he took a moment to pull the shirt over his head, before making his way to sit beside you. there was a couple of feet between your positions, but somehow the distance felt even greater.
you hummed, contemplating for just a second. “and? isn’t that what you’re doing? using me for your own benefit?”
when sheamus spoke again, there wasn’t the harshness in his tone like there was before, replaced by the sound of honey dripping off of every word. “we’ve never used you. sure, there’s no denying we’re better with you by our side, but you did all that. imperium want to use you as a pretty show piece, but to us you’re our lifeline.”
you smiled everso slightly, more having to fight the upturn of your lips than anything. “sure you don’t just like a hot woman on your arm every night?”
your stable mate grinned, playfulness returning to the air as he buttered you up. “sure, that’s a bonus, sweetheart. but you’re so much more than that.”
if your heart fluttered slightly at the tone he used, deep and rooted with genuineness, you wouldn’t tell anyone. that was a secret for you to keep.
“you’re a fool if you think we only want you to make us look good.” sheamus began again, shameless as he reached across the space between your bodies, brushing a stray strand of your hair away from your face and behind your ear. another flutter of your heart, this time more like a whisper of wind. “imperium want you to be their arm candy, we want you to be our soul. half the stuff we do wouldn’t be possible without you. you’re one of the strongest women in the roster right now, and that’s not just opinion but a fact, and it’s an honour getting to prove that. you can hold your own, hey, you can be even better, amongst the men, and i think that says everything.”
“you think that highly of me?” you asked, half jokingly, half from a place of needing reassurance. it was easy to doubt yourself amongst so many powerful opponents. “you’re already fighting pretty hard to get me to stay and i barely said anything.”
“you said enough for me to know i don’t want them getting their hands on you.” sheamus muttered, and suddenly the gap between the two of you seemed much smaller than before. “i won’t let them take my girl away that easily.”
your eyes widened at the same time his own demeanour cracked, both noticing the slip of tongue at the same time. again, you were used to the flirting the irish man undertook in the ring, and half of the time outside of it, but any semblance that those layers ran deeper than just kayfabe and your head was in a spin.
another knock at the door brought you out of the moment, a staff member poking his head in to let the two of you know they were closing up soon.
so with a few last goodbyes, you parted ways, this time with a new feeling of confusion in your chest. it was no longer the question of whether the brawling brutes wanted you more than the imperium, but now whether sheamus wanted you more than you wanted to leave.
—
after the segments on the show the week prior, it was no shock when the brawling brutes had one of their promos cut by the imperium themselves. you had expected it really, but it didn’t make the image of the four men wandering down the ramp towards the ring any less intimidating.
you stood just by the curtain of the ring, watching in concern as predator stalked their prey. you could see imperiums eyes on you, and you knew sheamus had noticed too, for he seemed to step in between their view of you protectively.
“well if it isn’t our favourite manager and her lackeys.” gunter began, practically toe to toe with sheamus as they stood leader against leader. “have you given any thought to our little conversation last week, y/n?”
before you could even react, sheamus was speaking on your behalf. “she doesn’t want to run around with little boys, she wants to stick with the men.”
gunther only chuckled into the mic, not quick enough to give his own response before giovanni was adding in himself, “if she wants men, she’s with the wrong team.”
“i wonder, if we asked her now, who’d she’s choose?” gunther challenged, the crowd hollering for you to join the conversation.
“stop fooling yourself, gunther, it’s getting embarrassing—“
sheamus was cut off by gunther once more “why don’t we let the little lady speak for herself?”
if the imperium wanted brownie points, they certainly weren’t getting them speaking about you like that. sheamus seemed to think the same, if the way his fists clenched had anything to do with it. he didn’t seem happy about it, but turned to offer you a hand to climb in the ring nonetheless.
you took his offer of help, jumping inside and trying to ignore how you were sure he was squeezing your hand just a little harder than usual. he seemed reluctant to even let go, but dropped the contact only when butch offered you his own mic to join the chorus.
the outcome of this promo was up to you, your manager had made sure that you knew that fact. he was prepared to damage control whichever side you chose, but how was the moment, and you were more unsure than ever. one look at imperium had you wanting to change allegiance. for all the talk about their true intentions, you knew one thing for certain, and that was imperiums power. they were a force to be reckoned with, and having gunther as an ally? that could do wonders for your career both in the stable and in your own solo endeavours.
yet, as you glanced to your side, seeing how sheamus watched you with uncertainty, the decision began to unblur.
he hadn’t spoken to you since the little dialogue mishap in the locker room. you had, at first, thought maybe he was disgusted by his own words, wishing he could take them back out of sheer unhappiness — but when you looked at him now, you could see past sheamus, and just see stephen, and you realised everything he had said was true.
“sheamus over here seems to have gotten it into his head that your allegiance to him is stronger than your want for success.” gunther’s menacing tone brought you out of your realisation, and you turned back to see how the man towered over you. “but you and i know better, don’t we, y/n? you’re a strong woman, you’ll make the right decision.”
a deep breath. “you’re right gunther.” a gasp echoed throughout the crowd as you seemingly made your decision to turn sides. the man in question watched you with a sly smirk, thinking his plan had worked. “my want for success is stronger than anything. so, i have to choose the side i know will get me there.”
you could practically feel the panicked looks of the brawling brutes, and when you turned to hand butch his microphone back, the expressions of betrayal were just as expected — especially from one particular redhead.
taking a step back, you made to stand with the imperium, facing your other stable-mates as the crowd shouted all sorts of nonsense directed at you, surely horrified by your abandonment. you waited a second, revelling in the reaction and allowing the imperium to glow in what they thought was a victory, before in one swift motion, you landed a back elbow straight into gunther’s stomach.
the crowd cheered again, and you wasted no time in stepping back across the ring to sheamus’ side, the grin creeping across the man’s face larger than you had ever seen before.
as you joined back by his side, he didn’t bother removing the microphone from his lips as he solidified his comment from the week prior. “that’s my girl.”
for once, you didn’t think about consequences, not caring that this wasn’t part of the plan or even prior discussed by the two of you — you knew he wanted it as badly as you by now. so, in one swift motion, coupled with a whisper of ‘your girl’, you grabbed sheamus by the back of the neck and pulled him down to crash your lips together.
if the shout from the rest of the brawling brutes was loud in your ear, the screams of the audience were practically deafening, but you barely focused on the reaction as sheamus dropped the microphone he held to the floor in favour of grabbing ahold of your waist.

Warnings - None really.
----
"Oh hold on we're getting some urgent news." Michael Cole commented as Vince McMahon came rushing up to him, whispering into his ear. "Oh my god." Cole murmured in astonishment, handing Vince a microphone like he asked. "Hold it, hold it, stop the fight!" Vince hollered into the mic, halting the fight when the referee called for timeout. Vince sat the mic down as he quickly climbed into the ring, approaching Sheamus, who was just as confused as everyone else in the entire stadium. "Sheamus come here son." Vince walked Sheamus away from the others, needing to tell Sheamus the news as privately as possible. "What's goin on?" Sheamus frowned in confusion, panting heavily through his nose. "Sheamus there's been an accident." Vince started, taking a moment to compose himself. "And?" Sheamus pried with a chuckle, thinking this was some sorta joke. "It's (Y/n)." Vince swallowed thickly when Sheamus' demeanor changed entirely. "What!?" Sheamus hissed looming over Vince and cornering him against the ropes, the crowd began cheering in anticipation, believing that this was part of the show. "She's alive, and she's in the hospital." Vince continued. "Where?" Sheamus demanded, his mind clouding with anger and worry. "Saint Mary's." Vince sighed when Sheamus practically bolted out of the arena, and left the stadium without so much of a word to anyone. "What's happened?" Cesaro asked Vince, who nodded to Cole. "Lady's and gentleman it is with heavy heart that I have to inform you all, that (Y/n) Farrelly has been in a near fatal accident tonight, and the rest of the show has been cancelled." Cole announced just as Vince had instructed him to, the entire stadium went as silent as a church during mass. "Shit." Cesaro murmured under his breath, worried for his teammate.
--
Like a bat outta hell Sheamus rushed to the Saint Mary's hospital, his heart hammering and his mind a whirlwind of worry. When he reached the hospital he parked the car as quickly as possible, sprinting into the hospital, still dawned in his wrestling uniform. "Where is she!?" His voice boomed as he rushed inside, quickly getting stopped by a doctor. "Sir I need you to calm down." The doctor urged. "Dont tell me ta fuckin calm down you fuck, tell me where my wife is!?" Sheamus yelled in frustration. "Who is your wife sir?" The doctor asked, trying to calm the worried Irishman. "(Y/n) Farrelly." Sheamus huffed out as if it were obvious. "Mrs. Farrelly is my patient, she just got out of surgery an hour ago." The doctor explained. "Is she okay!?" Sheamus fussed. "She's okay, but there's something you need to know." The doctor frowned. "What is it?" Sheamus' mind filled with the worst possible thoughts. "I'm afraid (Y/n) has slipped into a coma." The doctor explained mournfully, his words shattering Sheamus' heart. "Can I see her?" He asked, sounding broken and weak. "Of course, follow me." The doctor instructed before walking off down a long hallway. However before they reached the room a cameraman came running down the hall, pissing off Sheamus instantly. "Get that fuckin camera outta here!" He hollered at the cameraman, who didn't listen. "Turn that shite off boyo!" Sheamus yelled before punching the cameraman in the face, knocking him unconscious. "(Y/n), now." Sheamus hissed at the doctor, who took Sheamus to her room hastily. "Oh no no no no." Sheamus muttered as he entered her room, tears welling in his eyes at the sight of the love of his life hooked up to all those machines. "Oh love." He sniffled as he knelt beside her bed, taking her hand in his. "What happend ta ya?" He brushed back her hair with his free hand, trying desperately to hold back his tears. "She swerved off the road to miss a child that had run out into the road, and crashed into a tree." The doctor informed him with a soft voice. "She broke her back and right leg in the crash, along with fracturing a few ribs." The doctor explained just before the rooms door swung open. "Tha fuck are you doin here?" Sheamus growled at Roman Reigns, who stormed into the room, following closely behind him was a petit nurse. "I have every right to be here." Roman argued as he took his place on the other side of (Y/n)'s bed. "I'm her husband, and I say ya need ta fuck off." Sheamus warned Roman with venom in his voice. "I'm her brother, and I say fuck you." Roman shot back, flipping Sheamus off. And while every fiber of his body told Sheamus he should tear Romans head off, he remained at (Y/n)'s side, cradling her head in his hand. Roman to dropped the argument all together, and took ahold of (Y/n)'s other hand. The both of them knowing their arguing and fighting wouldn't help the situation, and that it was better just to be there for the woman they both loved.

Movies 2019
List of films I watched in 2019 from best to worst.
Updated soon after I’ve seen them.
A Ghost Story [David Lowery, 2017, United States] No film has made me feel this melancholic ever. This is a film so profound, it examines existence in the simplest yet most esoteric way possible. It surely goes straight to the top of my all-time favourite list. 10/10
Portrait of a Lady on Fire [Celine Sciamma, 2019, France] a film of magnificent visuals, intoxicating sound design, and a screenplay of jawdropping surprises -- definitely on top of my 2019 movie list. 10/10
The Heiresses [Marcelo Martinessi, 2019, Paraguay] compellingly melancholic in its silence and uncertainty. It's a blossoming, a self-discovery, a thorny journey towards maturity. 10/10
Parasite [Bong Joon-ho, 2019, South Korea] You can watch it in many different ways, perspective, and angle, and everything is just as clever. 10/10
Kanarie [Christiaan Olwagen, 2018, South Africa] Has one of the most poignant and critically-observed approach to self-awareness and acceptance. 10/10
Shéhérazade [Jean-Bernard Marlin, 2018, France] a gritty narrative of an unusual young love with such depressing yet charming emotional pull. 10/10
Capernaum [Nadine Labaki, 2018, Lebanon] it’s not just about a boy in an unjust world, it is more about an implausibly unjust world where everyone is a victim and no one is an actual villain. 10/10
John Denver Trending [Arden Rod Condez, 2019, Philippines] Aside from its central theme of mental health awareness, it also has an excellent juxtaposition of the culture of bullying and cyberbullying and its correlation with how the nature of superstitions and religions shapes a country’s humanity. 10/10
The Third Wife [Ash Mayfair, 2019, Vietnam] possibly has one of the best visual stories this year with a contrast of hauntingly sensual tension and dreamlike composition, it’s strangely beautiful. 10/10
Atlantique [Mati Diop, 2019, Senegal] Such a bewitching tale of love, lost, and longing. A film told with such raw elegance, it’s enchanting. 10/10
Metamorphosis [JE Tiglao, 2019, Philippines] Not your ordinary coming-of-age movie. This one comes with such importance and inclusivity, everyone needs to see. 10/10
The Favourite [Yorgos Lanthimos, 2019, Greece, Ireland, United Kingdom, United States] a dark period comedy oddly fused with sophisticated costume and production design for a strange yet striking visual treat. 10/10
Edward [Thop Nazareno, 2019, Philippines] I am so amazed at how this film shows struggles after struggles after struggles without spoonfeeding emotions. It’s a movie so simple yet so despairing. Everything of it is in the right place, it’s sublime. 10/10
I Lost My Body [Jeremy Clapin, 2019, France] gives an absolute strange reason to cry, it's extraordinarily cathartic. 10/10
Marriage Story [Noah Baumbach, 2019, United States] My favourite performance of the year belong to these two leads whose portrayal of lovers going through divorce is rock solid heartbreaking. 10/10
Ulan [Irene Villamor, 2019, Philippines] Is a fuck you to societal norms, so profound, it is a love story that involves only one. 10/10
Avengers: Endgame [Russo brothers, 2019, United States] Raises the bar so high, is probably the most entertaining superhero movie to date. 10/10
The Wife [Bjorn Runge, 2018, Belgium] Glenn Close is mesmerizing. There is no need to say more. 10/10
Heneral Luna [Jerrold Tarog, 2015, Philippines] Jerrold Tarog is as brave as General Luna. He clearly is the Luna of film making. 9.5/10
Infinity War
Incendies [Dennis Villanueve, 2011, Canada] With such expert direction, it's elementally strong in more aspect than one. 9.5/10
Us [Jordan Peele, 2019, United States] It is as if every element in this film is smartly placed there to serve a deeper purpose, it's a movie in search of greater meaning. 9.5/10
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
BuyBust [Erik Matti, 2018, Philippines] a spectacular display of astounding filmmaking where every element is designed and choreographed fittingly well. Entertaining yet harrowing from start to finish, it’s the kind of film that stays. It gets better on second watch. 9.5/10
The White Helmets [Orlando Von Eisiedel, 2016, United Kingdom, Syria] A heartrending glimpse at the life of true heroes in violence-stricken Syria. 9/10
PK [Rajkumar Hirani, 2014, India] a courageous film that wittingly pokes fun of religious beliefs. 9/10
Mamu and a Mother Too [Rod Singh, 2018, Philippines] Why it scared me, I don’t know. It could be because it’s unpredictable, it’s non-cliche, and it’s gentle in ways you don’t expect. I love it. 9/10
Liway [Kip Oebanda, 2018, Philippines] Is at most powerful when it exposes the correlation of facts and fiction. Doesn’t hit you right away but when it does, it hits hard. It hits still. 9/10
Paris is Burning [Jennie Livingston, 1991, United States] is a little documentary that stays. 9/10
Paglisan [Carl Papa, 2018, Philippines] Heartbreaking. It is a test of sympathy. 9/10
Widows [Steve McQueen, 2018, United States] How can something so traditionally formal feel so modern at the same time? Steve McQueen knows. 9/10
Eerie [Mikhail Red, 2018, Philippines] More than its excellent scare tactics, what I love about it most is its clever storytelling and use of metaphors. 9/10
La Luciernaga (The Firefly) [Ana Maria Hermida, 2015, Colombia] is about finding love in grief, beauty in ugly. And though there are some directorial decisions I don’t necessarily agree with, the chemistry its leads bring onscreen is too tangible for me to care about its flaws. 9/10
First Reformed [Paul Schrader, 2019, United States] an astounding character study that questions the politics of religion. 9/10
Bad Bananas sa Puting Tabing
Fuccbois [Eduardo Roy Jr, 2019, Philippines] Amazing storytelling and editing of a narrative so strange yet so eclectic. 8.5/10
Margarita with a Straw [Nilesh Maniyar, Shonali Bose, India, 2016] An unusual take on sexual exploration and self discovery. It somehow lost its focus towards the end but still a delightful watch overall. 8.5/10
Berlin Calling [Hannes Stohr, 2008, Germany] a movie that lives in the present paced in such rhythmic beat, it is dazzling from start to end. 8.5/10
Kuwaresma [Erik Matti, 2019, Philippines] Is a multilayer of social commentaries which were good before they too contradict themselves. 8.5/10
Brother of the Year [Witthaya Thongyooyong, 2018, Thailand] For all its simplicity and bleak storyline, it still offers an abundance of emotion and a sense of realism. 8/10
Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To Aisa Laga [Shelly Dhar, 2019, India] Not a first in world cinema, but is still a groundbreaking moviemaking in the context of India. 8/10
If Beale Street Could Talk [Barry Jenkins, 2019, United States] The kind that even though you are hopeful, you know from the start that it's going to be tough. 8/10
Sovdargari (The Trader) [Tamta Gabrichidze, 2018, Georgia] Emotionally intense depiction of rural poverty. 7.5/10
The Two Popes [Fernando Mereilles, 2019, UK, US, Italy, Argentina] Features two outstanding performances that redeemed it from all its dragging moments. 7.5/10
Black Panther [Ryan Coogler, 2018, United States] Oozing with unusual but likable characters. 7.5/10
A Land Imagined [Chris Yeo, 2018, Singapore, France, Netherlands] An unsettling noir mystery that questions people's notion of truth.
My Days of Mercy [Tali Shalom Ezer, 2019, United States] There is a bewitching chemistry between the two leads despite the coldness of it all. 7.5/10
Contratiempo (The Invisible Guest) [Oriol Paulo, 2017, Spain] offers an outstanding and enjoyable thrilling ride. 7.5/10
Giant Little Ones [Keith Berhman, 2019, United States] An honest road to knowing your own self in the eyes of a boy transitioning to adolescence. 7.5/10
Never Not Love You [Antoinette Jadaone, 2018, Philippines] Beautifully and realistically written. It’s just really hard for me to like Reid’s character. 7.5/10
Kaptn Oskar [Tom Lass, 2013, Germany] Only basic virtue - it is a beautiful film. Not only for its comfort. But for the old poetry of dust emotions. 7.5/10

Pailalim [Daniel Palacio, 2017, Philippines]
Dear Ex [Chih-Yen Hsu, 2018, Taiwan] Features odd but genuine kind of love. It is funny, heartfelt, and charming all at the same time. 7/10

Green Book [Peter Farrelly, 2018, United States] Flawed yet entertaining -- not sure if it's good or bad though. 6.5/10

Lionheart [Genevieve Nnaji, 2018, Nigeria] Although everything here felt familiar, there's charm that makes this film an enjoyable one. 6.5/10

The best and worst films of 2016
Mediocre.
That’s probably how best to describe last year’s cinematic releases.
Whilst there were a few spectacular successes that captured the imagination of cinemagoers everywhere, many films failed to generate any interest at the box office and instead, were rewarded the ire of critics and audiences who’ve now grown tired of the sub-standard quality of productions Hollywood releases under the premise of ‘entertainment.’
So, who succeeded and who failed?
Ladies and gentlemen, may we please offer for your consideration…
50. KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS
49. FREE STATE OF JONES
48. BLOOD FATHER
47. EDDIE THE EAGLE
46. ROOM
45. SAUSAGE PARTY
44. THE FOUNDER
43. THE MEDDLER
42. HAIL, CAESAR
41. DEADPOOL
40. EYE IN THE SKY
39. THE CONJURING 2
38. LIGHTS OUT
37. ANOMALISA
36. FINDING DORY
35. A BIGGER SPLASH
34. SHERPA
33. THE JUNGLE BOOK
32. FLORENCE FOSTER JENKINS
31. SWISS ARMY MAN
30. BONE TOMAHAWK
29. CAPTAIN FANTASTIC
28. TOO LATE
27. HACKSAW RIDGE
26. TICKLED
25. NOCTURNAL ANIMALS
24. THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK
23. THE BIG SHORT
22. LA LA LAND
21. THE NICE GUYS
20. DOCTOR STRANGE
19. CAROL
18. STEVE JOBS
17. THE DAUGHTER
16. THE REVENANT
15. THE HATEFUL EIGHT
14. GOLDSTONE
13. THE ARRIVAL
12. GREEN ROOM
11. HELL OR HIGH WATER
10. THE NEON DEMON
Director Nicolas Winding Refn’s psychological horror film about an aspiring model in LA, whose beauty and youth generate intense fascination and jealousy within the industry, was audacious, seductive and a visual feast for lovers of esoteric imagery. It may have polarised its critics, but ‘The Neon Demon’ proved once again why Refn is regarded by many as a bold and visionary artist.
9. THE WITCH
The tale about a Puritan family’s decision to go it alone in the wilderness and encountering evil forces in the woods beyond their isolated farm, deservedly became a ‘must-see’ for lovers of the horror genre. Primal and challenging, ’The Witch’ was a modern classic of the genre, an exquisitely made film that immersed you in a gloomy and harsh existence whilst it slowly built towards its haunting conclusion.
8. ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY
When reshoots were confirmed back in June of last year, fans of this famous film franchise were warranted to feel slightly apprehensive about the release of the very first ‘Star Wars’ stand alone film. They needn’t to have worried so - ‘Rogue One’ proved to be a favourite with both fans and critics alike. Set just before the events of ‘Episode IV: A New Hope,’ and focusing on the rebel spies who managed to steal the plans for the original Death Star, ‘Rogue One’ was a well-executed piece of ‘Star Wars’ lore.
7. SPOTLIGHT
Chronicling the events leading up to the ‘Boston Globe's trailblazing articles, published in 2002, about Boston priests abusing children, ‘Spotlight’ was a thought-provoking piece of modern storytelling. Featuring a strong script and a stellar cast of disciplined actors, ‘Spotlight’ made viewers think about how an unquestioning faith in institutions may not just be inadvisable, but devastating.
6. 45 YEARS
Whilst movies about marriage can be bitter and/or perceptive, ‘45 Years’ was that rare exception, where a film presents a situation as complicated as that of it’s two protagonists. Anchored by sensational performances from both Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay, and featuring a clever yet effective soundtrack, ‘45 Years’ was a small film of big insights, heavy on dialogue but light on speeches.
5. 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE
It would be wonderful to explain as to why director Dan Trachtenberg’s debut feature was squirm-and-jump-in-your-seat fun, but doing so would actually make it less fun by ruining the surprise. ‘10 Cloverfield Lane’ proved itself to be a masterclass in suspense, a heart-racing experience that refused to let up the level of intensity it instilled in audiences for even a minute.
4. ZOOTOPIA
Clever and heartwarming, Disney’s 55th animated feature was equal parts buddy-cop comedy, fish-out-of-water tale and whodunnit mystery. With its vibrant visuals and spot-on voice casting, ‘Zootopia’ also garnered praise for its tackling of themes about discrimination and social stereotypes.
3. HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE
Quirky and offbeat, this charming odd-couple adventure from New Zealand was a well-acted story of a down-and-out Maori kid and his grouchy foster parent. It could have devolved into the cliched, but managed to stay on the right side of endearing thanks to the chemistry between the film’s two leads. Proof also that Sam Neill is a national treasure, no matter what side of the Tasman you may reside.
2. CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
Note to DC Comics and Zack Snyder - this is how you make a superhero movie. With its death-defying action sequences, charismatic additional superheroes and emotional character development, this third ‘Captain America’ outing was both an intense and entertaining addition to the ever-expanding MCU.
1. DON’T BREATHE
Director Fede Alvarez’s ‘Don’t Breathe’ was an intense, gripping thriller set almost entirely in one house as a group of desperate thieves attempt to steal a fortune from an elderly blind man. The film was not only clever with its editing and sound design, but also succeeded in creating a bonding experience amongst its audience, where the entire cinema would scream in unison. A modern-day suspense classic, ‘Don’t Breathe’ was nerve wracking as hell, with the now infamous ‘turkey baster sequence’ joining the long canon of classic horror film moments.
…AND NOW, THE WORST!
20. GHOSTBUSTERS
19. BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE
18. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES
17. NOW YOU SEE ME 2
16. THE LEGEND OF TARZAN
15. WARCRAFT
14. INDEPENDENCE DAY: RESURGENCE
13. SUICIDE SQUAD
12. GODS OF EGYPT
11. DIRTY GRANDPA
10. THE BOSS
As comedies go, Melissa McCarthy’s latest had very little to offer. The characters were underdeveloped and underwritten, a prison subplot that sounded promising went nowhere (and strangely unexplored comedy-wise) and there were so many holes in the remaining storyline that audiences wondered what happened in the process of filming.
9. ROCK THE KASBAH
The tale of a down-on-his-luck music manager discovering a teenage girl with an extraordinary voice while on a music tour in Afghanistan, wasn’t one of the ‘Murricane’s stronger efforts. Director Barry Levinson (’Rain Man,’ ��Good Morning, Vietnam’) tried to be both funny and respectful to the material, but what resulted was a rather slapdash affair that failed to produce any laughs.
8. LONDON HAS FALLEN
The word ‘jingoism’ is defined in the Oxford Dictionary as ‘extreme patriotism, especially in the form of aggressive or warlike foreign policy.’ This definition could also be used to best describe the plot for this inane actioner. Anyone who was calling for a sequel to ‘Olympus Has Fallen,’ should’ve been careful what they wished for.
7. BASTILLE DAY
As an action film, ‘Bastille Day’ was sorely lacking and uninspired, relying solely on many of the overused cliches that come with the genre - mismatched heroes, reluctantly teamed up and constantly bickering, not to mention the sudden ‘surprise’ betrayal so clumsily telegraphed that it absolutely failed to surprise. And Mr Elba, please, no more rapping performances over the end credits of any future films in which you may appear.
6. ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS
Whilst Disney may have have reaped both critical and box office gold with its Marvel films and ‘Rogue One,’ its fantastical follow up to the $1 billion grossing ‘Alice in Wonderland’ completely failed to charm both audiences and critics alike. Lacking virtually any form of narrative, ‘Alice Through the Looking Glass’ was nothing more than a parade of gaudy CGI used to disguise the utter lack of interesting characters. Sadly, this was also Alan Rickman’s last role before his untimely death.
5. BEN-HUR
This fifth film adaptation of Lew Wallace’s revered 1880 novel was a real chariots of dire. The film’s poor performance at the box office was confirmation audiences have become increasingly tired of Tinseltown’s lacklustre efforts to improve upon what are already considered by many as cinematic classics.
4. CELL
This confusing thriller about a mysterious cell phone signal that turns people into murderous zombies, now has the dishonour of being arguably the worst movie ever made based on a Stephen King novel. Amateurish in execution and with a grand finale that’s less ambiguous than deeply confusing, ‘Cell’ was both a disappointment and an embarrassment for all those involved.
3. MASTERMINDS
With director Jared Hess (‘Napolean Dynamite’) at the helm, and a cast featuring some of the funniest US comedians currently out there, you’d be right in automatically thinking that ‘Masterminds’ would be brimming with comedic gold. Unfortunately, the end result was a non-stop avalanche of stale jokes that failed to even garner the slightest of titters from its audience.
2. MIKE AND DAVE NEED WEDDING DATES
“Hear ye, hear ye, let it be known to all moviegoers that the ‘gross-out-comedy-genre’ was officially (and thankfully) laid to rest in 2016...” ‘Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates’ was nothing more than a misfired series of puerile jokes that even the reigning kings of the genre, the Farrelly Brothers, would deem as a whole new level of terrible.
1. BAD SANTA 2
The first ‘Bad Santa’ was an unexpected treat, a cruelly hilarious film with a surprising amount of heart. Unfortunately, the same couldn’t be said about this truly repulsive sequel that so deservedly belongs in the number one position on this year’s cinematic naughty list. Given that five of this year’s ten worst films are comedies, it would appear that the Hollywood standard for the genre itself has reached an all-time new low. Perhaps the only silver lining regarding last year’s worst films is that none of them featured Adam Sandler.

‘O Primeiro Homem’, novo filme de Damian Chazelle, é o grande vencedor do Hollywood Film Awards 2018
New Post has been published on http://baixafilmestorrent.com/cinema/o-primeiro-homem-novo-filme-de-damian-chazelle-e-o-grande-vencedor-do-hollywood-film-awards-2018/
‘O Primeiro Homem’, novo filme de Damian Chazelle, é o grande vencedor do Hollywood Film Awards 2018
Embora o Hollywood Film Awards não seja uma premiação grande como o Oscar, o evento sempre atrai um grande número de estrelas de Hollywood. Neste ano, a 22ª edição do evento aconteceu no hotel Beverly Hilton e o grande vencedor da noite (04) foi O Primeiro Homem, novo filme de Damian Chazelle, levando três estatuetas. O filme estreou no Brasil em outubro (18) deste ano.
Dirigido por Damian Chazelle, cineasta que vem se consolidando como um dos principais realizadores da nova geração, o longa metragem narra a experiência do astronauta estadunidense Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling) ao embarcar na histórica e perigosa jornada à Lua em 1969. Além do prêmio de melhor direção, O Primeiro Homem recebeu os prêmios de melhor compositor, para Justin Hurwitz, e de montagem, para Tom Cross, embora este esteja longe de ser um trabalho de destaque do diretor.
A grande homenageada da noite foi Nicole Kidman, com o prêmio especial de carreira. Aliás, a atriz participa de dois filmes muito fortes esse ano – O Peso do Passado (Destroyer, com lançamento previsto para 25 de dezembro nos EUA) e Boy Erased: Uma Verdade Anulada (com estreia prevista para 24 de janeiro de 2019 no Brasil) – e é possível que ela esteja presente em todas as festas da temporada de premiações. Shailene Woodley entregou o prêmio para sua companheira de elenco de Big Little Lies, Nicole Kidman.
Vencedora do Oscar 2003 de Melhor Atriz na pele da escritora Virginia Woolf em As Horas (2002), de Stephen Daldry (O Leitor, 2008), em 2017, Nicole Kidman retornou à televisão com a série Big Little Lies da HBO, onde atuou e produziu. Seu desempenho como Celeste Wright, uma vítima de violência doméstica, foi aclamado pela crítica e Kidman ganhou dois Prêmios Emmy do Primetime, um na categoria de Melhor Atriz em Minissérie ou Telefilme e outro como produtora na categoria de Melhor Minissérie, além do Globo de Ouro de melhor atriz em minissérie ou filme para televisão.
Glenn Close foi acompanhada da filha, Annie Starke, que também está no elenco de A Esposa. A atriz veterana foi premiada na categoria melhor atriz por sua atuação em A Esposa, drama de 2017 dirigido por Björn Runge e escrito por Jane Anderson, baseado no romance de mesmo nome de Meg Wolitzer. Joan Castleman (Glenn Close) é a esposa de Joe Castleman (Jonathan Pryce) e enquanto eles viajam para Estocolmo, na Suécia, onde ele receberá o Prêmio Nobel de Literatura, ela questiona suas escolhas de vida.
O troféu de melhor ator foi entregue por Anne Hathaway, ao amigo Hugh Jackman (O Rei do Show), por sua atuação The Front Runner (O Favorito). Conhecido por ser o Wolverine nos cinemas, aqui Jackman mostra um lado diferente. O escândalo sexual do candidato democrata à presidência Gary Hart, em 1988, é o tema do mais recente filme de Jason Reitman. O filme tem previsão de lançamento em 17 de janeiro de 2019 no Brasil.
Timothée Chalamet, que desponta como promessa do cinema e está entre os novos queridinhos de Hollywood, foi o vencedor da estatueta de Ator Coadjuvante por sua atuação em Querido Menino (Beautiful Boy). Baseado no best-seller par de memórias de pai e filho David e Nic Sheff, Querido Menino narra a experiência devastadora e inspiradora de sobrevivência, recaída e recuperação em uma família lidando com o vício ao longo de muitos anos. Dirigido por Felix Van Groeningen, que recebeu de Brad Pitt o prêmio o troféu de Diretor Revelação 2018, Querido Menino tem previsão de estreia para 14 de fevereiro de 2019 no Brasil.
Na categoria Elenco Revelação, o premiado foi Podres de Ricos. A comédia dramática com elenco predominantemente asiático estrou no Brasil na semana passada (01) e a estatueta foi recebida pela produtora Nina Jacobson. A atriz Octavia Spencer entregou o prêmio de melhor elenco, incluindo Viggo Mortensen e Mahershala Ali, para Green Book. Ambientado em 1962, Tony Lip (Viggo Mortensen), um dos maiores fanfarrões de Nova York e precisa de trabalho após sua discoteca, o Copacabana, fechar as portas. Ele conhece um pianista (Mahershala Ali) que quer que Lip faça uma turnê com ele. Enquanto os dois se chocam no início, um vínculo finalmente cresce à medida que eles caem na estrada. Os roteiristas Peter Farrelly, Nick Vallelonga e Brian Hayes Currie, também receberam a estatueta de melhor roteiro por Green Book, novo filme de Peter Farrelly (Debi & Loide 2, de 2014), que chega ao Brasil em 24 de janeiro de 2019.
Na categoria Atriz Revelação, a premiada foi Amandla Stenberg, por O Ódio que Você Semeia, que estreia em 6 de dezembro. Starr Carter (Amandla Stenberg) é uma adolescente negra de dezesseis anos que presencia o assassinato de Khalil (Algee Smith), seu melhor amigo, por um policial branco. Ela é forçada a testemunhar no tribunal por ser a única pessoa presente na cena do crime. Mesmo sofrendo uma série de chantagens, ela está disposta a dizer a verdade pela honra de seu amigo, custe o que custar. O filme tem estreia prevista para 06 de dezembro no Brasil.
O prêmio de Ator Revelação foi para John David Washington, por Infiltrado na Klan (BlacKkKlansman), novo filme de Spike Lee. Taraji P. Henson entregou o prêmio para John David Washington, filho de Denzel Washington. Em 1978, Ron Stallworth (John David Washington), um policial negro do Colorado, conseguiu se infiltrar na Ku Klux Klan local. Ele se comunicava com os outros membros do grupo através de telefonemas e cartas, quando precisava estar fisicamente presente enviava um outro policial branco no seu lugar. Depois de meses de investigação, Ron se tornou o líder da seita, sendo responsável por sabotar uma série de linchamentos e outros crimes de ódio orquestrados pelos racistas. Infiltrado na Klan estreia nos cinemas brasileiros no dia 22 de novembro.
A atriz mexicana Yalitza Aparicio recebeu o prêmio Nova Hollywood em reconhecimento pelo seu trabalho em ROMA. O novo trabalho de Alfonso Cuarón recebeu o Leão de Ouro deste ano, prêmio máximo do Festival de Veneza. O longa é um drama em preto e branco sobre uma família de classe média na Cidade do México dos anos 1970. Com a vitória, Roma é o primeiro filme da Netflix a vencer uma premiação de renome. Vale lembrar que a organização do Festival de Cannes impediu que o longa-metragem fosse exibido na Croisette deste ano.
O filme Pantera Negra abriu o ano com um megassucesso em bilheteria e críticas, mas não é um filme para ganhar o prêmio de melhor do ano, não é? No entanto, Michael B. Jordan entregou o prêmio honorário do Hollywood Film Awards para o diretor Ryan Coogler e para o produtor Nate Moore. Até agora, não havia nenhum troféu que indicasse “melhor filme”, então eles acabam de criar a primeira edição, dando o prêmio da noite para o longa de T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman), rei de Wakanda.
Na categoria Documentário, o laureado foi Believer, dirigido por Don Argott e que acompanha o vocalista do Imagine Dragons, Dan Reynolds, e aborda a falta de tolerância gay no mormonismo. Como um próprio Mórmon, Reynolds uniu-se ao cantor de Neon Trees, Tyler Glenn, que é um mórmon abertamente gay, para chamar a atenção para a dificuldade dos jovens LGBTQ de se sentirem inseridos dentro da igreja Mórmon, a qual Reynolds fez parte desde a infância e hoje se sente preparado para se posicionar contra algumas doutrinas que não concorda. Believer estreou no festival de Sundance este ano após um acordo feito com a HBO Documentary.
O prêmio na categoria animação foi para Os Incríveis 2. Produzida pela Pixar Animation Studios e distribuído pela Walt Disney Pictures trata-se de uma sequência de Os Incríveis e se passa exatamente após os eventos do primeiro filme. Dessa vez, a família Pêra vai ter que lidar com o fato de que infringiram a lei e atuaram como super-heróis.
Confira os demais vencedores nas categorias técnicas:
Fotografia: Matthew Libatique, Nasce uma Estrela
Efeitos Visuais: Dan Deleeuw, Kelly Port, Russel Earl e Dan Sudick, Vingadores: Guerra Infinita
Figurino: Sandy Powell, A Favorita
Maquiagem e Cabelo: Jenny Schircore, Sarah Kelly e Hannah Edwards, Duas Rainhas

ೃ༄ TWENTY TWENTY T’REE (sheamus x fem!reader)
ೃ༄ PAIRING: sheamus x fem!reader
ೃ༄ REQUESTED BY: anon
Can I have a one shot with sheamus where he’s kinda irritated and speaking loud and fast. Just ranting to his partner and he turns to see her trying not to laugh because she loves his strong accent
ೃ༄ WARNINGS: none (unless u count laughing at his accent. reader is gonna laugh at his accent)
ೃ༄ WORD COUNT: 788
ೃ༄ NOTE: THIS IS VERY SHORT BUT as someone who is dating an irish person…. this is the story of my life don’t get me wrong my girlfriend is the loml but sometimes i do have to ask her to slow down. just read everything in an irish accent pls
you heard sheamus arrive home before you saw him. the telltale sound of a car door slamming in the driveway gave away how your boyfriend was most likely feeling, so you resigned yourself to readying the comfort as you finished up your work.
you were lazily thrown across the couch, laptop on your thighs as you flicked through spreadsheets for your job. no day off apparently.
as the door to your home opened, you could hear telltale irish muttering that the day hadn’t quite been everything he had wanted it to be. he seemed to kick his shoes off as opposed to place them on the rack neatly, if the banging against the hallway door was a good enough sign.
“i’m home.” then came a tired shout, and you chuckled to yourself at the obvious statement.
“no way.” was your sarcastic response, turning your head just in time to see your boyfriend appear through the doorway, wasting no time in shooting you a (hopefully) playful glare. “welcome home, love.”
for a moment, he cracked a smile through the layers of frustration, walking over to where you sat and leaning down just enough to peck your lips. his hair was still slightly damp from a shower at the training centre, the feeling of it touching your forehead making you shudder momentarily.
“how was training?” you felt vaguely like your were poking the bear, seeing the way his shoulders tensed at the question.
sheamus immediately jumped into busying himself around the room, unpacking his bag and putting everything back in its place. “it was a load of shite. boss man pulled me into his office not even half way t’rough, something about a new storyline that’s entirely bullshite if you ask me.”
you raised an eyebrow, allowing him to move around you as you formatted something on your spreadsheet, noting down a total at the bottom. “in what way?”
“they’re just not even trying t’ hide their favouritism now — got the most insane match cards lined up with winners ya wouldn’t even t’ink possible. half the guys in t’ locker room don’t like it, but we’ve gotta do what the boss man wants.”
you hummed noncommittally, typing something into your laptop as he continued in the background.
“i’m fed up at this point. we cannay even have a day these days, then i got put t’rough a table wrong in training, proper botched it and could barely get up for a second. i tell yous it’s gone to shite since the hey days, could do with a whole rebrand a’ this point but i don’t t’ink even tha’ could save us.”
by now, you were barely following what sheamus was saying. he had a habit of talking fast when annoyed, and this time was no exception, but coupled with your half focus — you wouldn’t deny you had lost entire understanding of what he said half way through. it was something you had noticed in the years you had been together; no matter how used to his accent you had gotten, he always got more irish the moment he was even slightly upset. unfortunately, the thicker accent coupled with the speed usually equaled y/n losing everything he was saying.
you had to chuckle to yourself as he went off again in the background, thankful he wasn’t looking in your direction as you tried to hide your amusement behind your hand.
“i dun’ even know their reasons for this one, i t’ink they’re just t’rowing shite out there now ‘nd hoping for the best. they used to give us reasons for whatever they did, but now it’s just ‘hey sheamus my man do this entirely unreasonably t’ing just for views even though it doesn’t match your character at all’, it’s— are you alright there?”
you glanced up to see sheamus looking straight at you, clearly having seen the way you were practically folded in on yourself in amusement.
trying to calm yourself down was worse, the laughter you were suppressing coming out in snorts by now. “i’m so— i’m so sorry! you’re-“ you hicupped “you’re just very irish.”
“no shite sherlock.” your boyfriend responded, but as you looked up at him, he was cracking a smile of his own, the frustrated expression he had worn before cracking in its facade “have i ever told you i hate yous?”
you giggled again, lying full on your side by now on the sofa. opening your arms, you beckoned him to come join you with a smile that he mirrored on his own face “many times. you never fail to remind me.”
sheamus cackled loudly, practically jumping on top of you as he peppered kisses along your cheeks. “wait till you meet my father.”
