#little nightmares 3 spoliers

[kingdubman]

I like how Low is described as hopeful, and he's basically the most experienced one, staying years in the Nowhere. You know how Six lost her innocence and morality after going through so much? We don't know how long she has been in the Nowhere, but Low has been there for YEARS and never lost hope. He's must have seen a lot and went through a lot, but he's still trusting of other's, seeing how he's best friends with Alone.

Plus, he shows childlike innocence in the clothes he wears. Do you know how most children think about being some type of superhero? Well, Low looks like he's trying to look like one, and I also think the braclet he wears on his leg is something to remind of him of his home, playing into the hopeful, optimistic personality.

Also, I've noticed how when Low and Alone come out of the mirror, Alone is the one to break it, and seeing how Low is the only one with powers, he doesn't care and still brings her along, knowing once they go through, they can never go back, really selling it as they're in it together.

The trailer music and the description of facing your childhood fears makes me feel like Low might be meant for something special, seeing how his powers are related to mirrors and mirrors seem to be raleted to the main antagonist, or character we haven't seen yet.

Low is definitely my favorite so far, and I hope he doesn't leave his friend behind to find an exit, but I also hope he doesn't sacrifice himself for his friend if it comes down to it, but knowing little nightmares, it could be something much worse. ( God, I hate repeated bad endings, it tugs on my heartstrings. Can't have shit in the Nowhere.)

LOGAN HOWLETT×FEM!READER (FLUFF,BLOOD,Kissed,the next part will contain smut ..) Part 3 from the series

A SHARP EDGE...

(THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOLIERS!) ps. english isnt mi native language but I try my best, im open for request!

summary:since Wade needed you to save his and yours timeline,you decided to help,after all he was one of your dearest friend, right?....But he didn't warn you about someone...and that someone was The Wolverine....just a Canadian guy, you thought...

the next morning, after the strange yet cute conversation with Logan,you woke up, first thing you did was looking at your wound on you leg ,it was okay, even if it was a bit bloody....

you walked it the living room finding Logan at his usual smoking, he will be not breathing so well if he continued , you thought, and Wade was eating a bowl of cereal with hearts? you know what? okay...you chukle under your breath at cute scene, but you provided to put on you suit, even if it was broken

belive it or not, today was a big day, for two reason , one you needed to end the mission, two, Logan putted his yellow suit on? miracle...

After a good hour, and everyone was dressed, you and the other two went outside, y'all chatted for a bit, then after the watch hitted 12 am, you entered the TVA building to search for that ugly business man, but as the three of you even got near that, a gigant portal opened, put of nowhere actually and cassandra stepped out of it, with a gigantic grin in her lips

"THAT BALD BITCH!" wade yelled with an excited,pointing her with his right finger like a toddler,you chuckle but at the same time eyed Logan and saw his usual eye roll followed with a sigh,you prepared your knives and craking the bones of your neck your ready,but then Cassandra spoke

"No no no..." she said in a weird worried tone

"...you're not gonna fight me dear,they're are gonne help me while me and than classy man have a talk..." she continued as she opened d another portal and with her telekinesis dragged the man in her hands, obviously he was more that frightened but then in so little time were in the building, while from the portal exited many many many many copies of...Wade?

"Okay, wtf is going on?" you say in a whiny tone with your eyes wide open, wade just stared at every version of himself

"Ugh..." even Logan groaned as he saw his wrost nightmare and with a shift move he putted on his iconic mask

"UUUH, YOU SAVED THE BEST FOR LA-"

"shut the fuck up!" Logan interrupted wade

"oh okay..."

then when I looked at them both and how they were trying, I understood that it wouldn't be difficult but at the same time it wasn't easy either, so with a moving move we started killing all his clones one at a time, but we didn't know that they could regenerate, so Logan gave me a sign to go away and leave the work to them, I following his instructions I managed to enter the building and after a while to locate the machine, but already inside there was Cassandra, in the meantime Logan and Deadpool had arrived but they were on the ground floor

I took Cassandra by the neck but it was like an electricity conductor, which passed through all my arms but I continued, in this state she was very vulnerable so I decided to continue, with my telekinesis I started to make her remove her hand from the reactor but by then it was too late, Logan and Deadpool were acting as a wire to connect the two subjects in the basement, yes they could hear their screams, everything was quieted by a deathly silence, in fact the policemen thought we were dead, but Logan and Wade exited,logan his half of his cistume broken and wade the same , very iconic

"all good baby!" wade yelled and logan grinned

"mh okay..." one of the policemen spoke " but we knew that there was three of you? am i right?" they widened theyre eyes

"FUCK Y/N!" they're yell was full of worry,but after a bit,wade was sitting at the table amd Logan stading on his feet pooking at the celling waiting for some reply

"hey!" a voice could be heard "this will never come off my costume!" i said while walking towards them,my costume broken or at least most of it and covered in dust

"did you know that Cassandra grip is very light?..." as i said that both of then ran to hug me

"youre okay? youre here...oh lord" Logan whispered with a light smile as bith of them took some steps back

"yes penut im here.." i tased

"here i was worrying about you,you dumb chick!" he replied but this time not with anger,but with a smile a laugh that sounded genuine.

Then we all went to eat something,not the best idea but nevermind....

as we all parted ways i called for Logan, i ran to him

"so...i know you would not like that.." i stuttered trying to find words

"but waht if us? of course three can meet sometime? if you want-" i didnt not finished the phrase that he nodded with a smile

"really? oh wow, i though you didnt like my idea,i mean,you never like them,i was expe-" he gave me a light kiss on my lips,not with much pressure,and for the time i realized he spoke again

"I love to hear you yap kiddo,but sometimes you need to shut your mouth mh?" he chukled at my blushed face

"okay okay,i will stop teasing,see ya tomorrow night ,if it okay with you and Wade.." I nodded fast

"bye y/n..." he said be as he walked away I grabbed by the colar of his black hoodie he borrowed before and i palce a kiss on his cheek befkre walking away leaving him on the streets,

while...

WADE WAS WATCHING EVERYTHING BEHIND A WALL? WHAT THE ACTUALLY FUCK?

A detailed ramble about how This Is Home perfectly fits SoD!Etho as a character

For anybody who doesn't know what the SoD AU is, basically for the long answer, scroll through the au tag at the bottom of this post, for the short answer, httyd au focused on Etho and Skizz. they both have trauma Please note that this ramble will have vague spoliers for the first fic in the series, Aloft, and very vague spoilers for the rest of the series. You can read that first if you are interested! (Aloft is only 5 chapters)

ALSO! After the first verse I had to cut it to a reblog because I may have exceeded the tumblr post character limit and therefore the post couldn't post lol

------

Often I am upset that I cannot fall in love but I guess This avoids the stress of falling out of it So while in the song it's talking about romantic love (which does fit Etho. they're aroace in every au I made), it does fit how Etho feels about friendship until after Dragon Island because they could never make connections because they were an outsider who didn't talk about their past, who wore a mask and kept their hair in front of their eyes, who faced every attempt at friendship with a harsh tongue. Are you tired of me yet? I'm a little sick right now but I swear When I'm ready I will fly us out of here Following with the above, it isn't until the events of Lantern that they actually let go of that fear of abandonment, and honestly yeah that's all. Also the references to flying fit Etho's whole dragonkin thing very well. I'll cut my hair To make you stare So while this has never been stated in any of the fics yet, when Etho arrived on Berk, they had pretty long hair. I'd say past their shoulders. This might've been a thing used to tease them (it was). So, they cut it to just below their ears. I'll hide my chest And I'll figure out a way to get us out of here This is literally the only line I can't connect to Etho out of the whole song so just pressing skip on this one <3 Turn off your porcelain face Etho hides their emotions (or at least doesn't show when they're nearing a breaking point) for quite a while, and Skizz keeps trying to help them pick up the pieces afterwards. I can't really think right now in this place There's too many colors enough to drive all of us insane So this one (along with the next few lines) has two meanings in how I think about it. 1-Etho is very much neurodivergent. Specifically they have BPD (and potentially AVPD) and are autistic. They deal with sensory overload every once and a while and it tends to be really bad when it's connected to the other students. 2-The Hidden World is full of colors, and it is the place Etho escapes to, and they don't have to think about everything on the surface for a bit. Are you dead? Sometimes I think I'm dead 'Cause I can feel ghosts and ghouls wrapping my head Again, two meanings. 1-Etho's whole dragonkin thing again. A common belief held among otherkin individuals is reincarnation and/or the multiverse theory. While I'm not going to state exactly what Etho believes is the reason they have the soul of a dragon, I do like this little reference to it. 2-Etho's experienced some pretty bad trauma, and that combined with how they're , kinda leaves them thinking that their past self is dead and they're haunted by the ghosts of another life. But I don't wanna fall asleep just yet I mean Etho is stated to have really bad and somewhat commonly reoccurring nightmares in Lantern so there's that.

tw mention of sh, suicide etc. spolier: its a happy ending for me

so uh. i wanted to share this bc i am really proud of how far i've come and maybe if someone was in my shoes this could show that it can get better.

so a year ago i was pretty much the lowest i could get. i was in a horrible depressive episode, in the middle of a tough sh addiction and stuck in a emotionally and a semi physically abusive really bad household. and i thought i was at the end. that was it. i didn't know what to do with my life, i was stuck at the bottom. i had almost let my grades slip senior year, i wasn't eating, i spent most of my days isolated in my darkened godawful messy room from anybody that had semi been nice to me, the aggression from my parents i was taking out on myself, i was a gross mess that didn't have the energy for showers, and on top of all that i was a closeted queer trans guy and i didn't know who i could trust. i couldn't take it any longer. and i tried 3 times to end it.

and thankfully i failed.

and a year later i'm still here. and just over 6 months clean from sh.

and today i felt okay. i got to spend time with my dogs and my loving grandparents that took me in. i got to watch the little birds eat seed from the feeder out on the back deck. i sat outside and watched the sunset and felt the cool breeze whispering that fall was near. i haven't spoken to my parents in months. i planned out what colleges i'm going to try and transfer to. i spent most of my day out of my room. i've been playing my guitar more. i've been cooking and trying out new recipes.

it does get better.

not to say that it's not still hard. there are certain things that i hear or see that remind me of what i went through and that's terrifying in the moment. i still get nightmares that i'm trapped in my old house. i still get those damn sh urges at times. and that's difficult.

but my life is remarkably better than it was a year ago, and little 12yr old me would be shocked to see that i'm still here lol.

i'm still here :) <3

Hi I saw this comment

And well my replies don't work so @beautifulcollectivewolf and anyone else who might want some tips, here is how I've avoided spoilers for all games I want to play and movies I want to watch without avoiding social media.

1- I always make sure to skip the ones that give spolier warnings, obviously.

2- I also check tags on videos and skip them.

3- I avoid all of the companies social media accounts

4- I avoid social media accounts of people I know edit those things

5- YouTube is easier, I just don't search the games or watch like markipliers videos.

6- I never talk about the things with anyone who watched or played them.

7- I never check why the thing is trending on twitter.

8- never and I mean never check comments when the thing in question is trending or hot, especially on videos talking about it without raising spoilers

This might sound stupid but I have avoided spoilers for resident evil 8, little nightmares 2, spiderman miles morales, security breach, every marvel movie ever. I have still yet to play little nightmares 2 and security breach and still haven't seen any spoilers.

I can't say I've ever had a game or movie spolied for me, I've just always managed to avoid spoilers.

Thoughts on Dear Evan Hansen

Overall rating: 4.5/5

Plot: 4/5

Songs: 4.5/5

For starters, it 100% deserved that Tony, any naysayers can go away, sorry. I love Great Comet and Groundhog day with all my heart and I wouldn’t have been upset to see them win, but I would have been surprised it wasn’t this wonderful musical.

As someone who has struggled with their mental health pretty much all their life, has gone through having people close to me commit suicide and has always used music and musical theatre as a guide and an escape from it, to hear that a musical was coming to broadway dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety and suicide in teens was too good to be true!

With the conversation surrounding mental health gradually getting more mainstream and more people are talking about it, a musical surrounding these themes couldn’t be more up my alley.

I’ve been excited for this musical ever since the lyrics came out and that was all I had to go off of. I knew all the words to the songs before the cast recording had even come out.

I think the songs perfectly sum up all the mish mash of feelings of when you’re in those low moments, the climactic song towards the end of the second act ‘Words Fail’ is both one of the most powerful performances from Ben Platt (a well deserved Tony, might I add) and perfectly rounds out the self hatred and pity that one can feel for oneself in a depressive state.

I feel like the representation of masculinity in this show is really important. Societal pressures on masculine identifying people tell them to keep quiet about their feelings and to keep them guarded and to not let anyone see. “Suicide is four times more common in men than women, and in 2005, 1,657 men took their own lives (ABS, 2007)” Source

To have the main character be a sensitive, non-stereotypical and intuitive teenage boy is incredibly important and necessary to see.

The only thing that I have a gripe with the show about is it is a little lacking in diversity. Coming from last years season where the four tony actor and actress award winners all went to people of colour going into a season that was back to a pretty whited out run (coughBandstandcough), it was disheartening to see only one black named character, Alana. When you look at the statistics in mental health in teens, the difference in teens of colour compared to white teenagers is astronomical. “A disproportionate number of suicides occurred among young male American Indians during this period—young men 15 to 24 accounted for 64 percent of all suicides by American Indians (CDC, 2001).” Source  

So, to not see this represented was disheartening, POC need this representation just as much as white people do. I hope that one day broadway can realise this.

While you can head cannon all you want (Evan and Connor are both trans and literally nothing you can say will stop me from believing it), the queer representation is appalling. From what I’ve researched (I haven’t had time to watch the full bootleg yet, but someone feel free to correct me if I’m wrong!), its not even outrightly stated that Jared is gay. Its just the stereotypes played out. Again, in queer teens mental health is a huge issue, the discrepancy between queer youth and cisgender heterosexual youth in mental health is disgustingly drastic.

“Compared to the general population, LGBTI people are more likely to attempt suicide in their lifetime, specifically:

LGBTI young people aged 16 to 27 are five times more likely

Transgender people aged 18 and over are nearly eleven times more likely

People with an Intersex variation aged 16 and over are nearly six times more likely

LGBT young people who experience abuse and harassment are even more likely to attempt suicide”

Source

Obviously, I’m not saying that every story is able to be told in one singular musical, but for a musical to be claiming to represent mental health in teens, and then missing out representing the biggest proportion of teens who have these problems, is very sad to see.

Before I go into a talk through of each song below the cut I want to say that I truly love this musical. On days when it was hard to get out of bed or thought it would be better if I were to disappear, this musical has honestly pulled me out of those gutters.

I completely understand that this musical means a lot to some people, and I 100% empathise with why and I’m so happy for you that this musical was able to help you and I. I’m able to enjoy it despite its flaws, of which there are very few, and I definitely come from the mindset of the people who really love something are the most critical of it. 

If you haven’t yet, give Dear Evan Hansen a listen! However I recommend reading the Wikipedia synopsis along with it as the plot can be hard to understand from just the soundtrack! Talk through of the soundtrack/spoliers below the cut

- Sparky <3

Anybody have a map? - I think this is a perfect example and representation of how hopeless and helpless a parent can feel when trying to support a struggling teen. Also, in this show is a wonderful representation of single mothers and I think this song sets it up well.

The harmonies in are beautiful, I love harmonies in any song, add a harmony to anything and I’ll love it I promise. 

Waving through a window - Ahhhh I love this song a lot. Close to my favourite. This was the song I first read the lyrics to before the musical came out and I just aGH. It perfectly sums up social anxiety in a string of beautiful and melodic metaphors. The idea of “Waving through a window” and questioning whether anyone is waving back is something that many people, including myself, have gone through or are going through. A beautiful, beautiful song and message for a all too relatable topic.

Ben Platt’s combination of soft almost soothing notes with the belting of the final notes in the song is perfect. I can’t think of another adjective to describe it.

For Forever - A beautiful melody mixed with a beautiful fantasy. The fact that this is him imagining what it would be like to have a friend is heartbreaking. The voice crack on “He’s coming to get me”, gets ME everytime. 

Also Ben Platt can hit a high note holy poop.

Sincerely Me - For a pretty dark musical, this song is the perfect uplifting BANGER. Doing the dance to myself in the car on the freeway is dangerous though, would not recommend.

The no homo moment in it is a bit :/ though.

Requiem - I’ve got to admit the first few times I heard this song I didn’t like it. I hated the idea of someone saying that they were glad that their brother was dead and asking why they should miss them. I hated the idea of a person who is suicidal sitting in that audience or listening at home, hearing what they already believed for themselves what Zoe was saying, that they wouldn’t be missed. 

But it wasn’t until a friend pointed out what this song was really saying, how it was representing different ways of dealing with grief until I realised that it was incredibly important. I now love this song.

If I could tell her -  Ugh. I have so many gripes with this song I’m sorry.

First of all anyone who sees this song as a love song I have questions for you.

This song is so idealising of Zoe, and so ‘manic pixie dream girly’ I die. 

I get the social anxiety side of it. I get having all of these thoughts bubbling inside of you and being too anxious to tell someone, I get it, trust me. 

But its the fact that he says “I love you”, I’m sorry but you can’t love someone you’ve never spoken to before. You can love the idea of a person. You can like how a person looks or acts. But you cannot love them.

And the fact that this is all being said as if it were Connor, her dead brother is just so messed up. I get that thats the point but, I just worry that people will see this song as ‘goals’ or ‘I wish someone would think/ do that for me’ when it is NOT a healthy outlook on women, love or just people.

It’s a lovely song, but I wish it was less idealising and was phrased differently. Less ‘not like other girls’ please.

Disappear - No one does deserve to disappear. Some days it was only this song that could tell me that.

You will be found - This is my favourite song on the soundtrack. I love this song so much. I have the lyrics as a sticker on my laptop and in a frame next to my bed. I have one distinct memory of this song.

It was a really dark moment, I had woken up from some horrific nightmares, was in the midst of a bad brain time and all I wanted was to go back to sleep, forever. But I had work that day, I had stuff to do. I put on this song and at the end of it, I was crying and getting up to get in the shower, something I didn’t even realise I was capable of that day. This song gives me so much motivation, I do have other songs that do the same things, but the fact that this is up there with other songs, is big for me.

If you listen to one song from this musical, listen to this one. You will not regret it.

“Let that lonely feeling wash away Maybe there’s a reason to believe you’ll be okay ‘Cause when you don’t feel strong enough to stand You can reach, reach out your hand

And oh, someone will coming running And I know, they’ll take you home

Even when the dark comes crashing through When you need a friend to carry you And when you’re broken on the ground You will be found”

To break in a glove - Eh. I like the message. But, you know how theres that one song in a musical you always skip over? This is mine :-)

Only us - Can Laura Dreyfuss make a lullaby?? Please?? She has such a soothing and beautiful voice I love it so much.

This song is a really good representation of what its like to date someone with a mental illness. Its a beautiful duet and I love it to pieces.

Good for you -  Literally the best song if you just need to be angry. This song ignites a fury in me like little else can. All I want to do is PUNCh stuff after I listen to it, I love it. Amazing.

Words Fail - Ben Platt deserved that Tony and if you want an example of why just listen to this. It’s beautiful, simple, elegant and heartbreakingly sad all at once.

So big/so small - Single mothers need to be worshipped by every person on earth I’m pretty sure its in the Bible. I also think this is really good representation of what a kid needs from their parent when going through a mental health spiral, undying and unconditional support and love.

Finale - :’), Honestly incredible. I don’t know how many ways I can say I love this musical, but I do, I really do. 

“Today is going to be a good day. And here's why: 

because today, today at least you're you and—that's enough.​“

I love this musical and I will cherish it always.

I know the sort of people who would be listening to it though, so I’m going to say that my PM’s are open and so is my ask box, if you ever want to chat.

If you need urgent care/attention, please contact lifeline or the equivalent in your country.

Top 20 Movies (in my opinion) from Jan-June 2017, first half of the year!

1. GOLD - (Stephen Gaghan) Starring Matthew McConaughey. The release date of this was December 30, 2016. But, I couldn’t help but put this on my list. A true story of the biggest gold mining scam in history, with the mystery surrounding who was involved and who is actually still alive today. Very intriguing all the way through. Such a touchy subject to touch base on! The way McConaughey warps into each and every one of his characters is something so incredible and memorable. This is a must see.

2. MEAN DREAMS - (Nathan Morlando) Starring Bill Paxton, Sophie Nelisse, & Josh Wiggins

Bill Paxton’s last movie released after his unfortunate passing earlier this year. Mean Dreams was an adventure. Sophie & Josh worked so well together in this film, which is why it really worked so well for me. On a mission to run away from her father who is a dirty cop, this combination of young actors really ran away with the show! I hope to see them work together in a future film.

3. THE DISCOVERY - (Charlie McDowell) Starring Robert Redford, Jason Segel, & Rooney Mara

We all have questions of what happens when we die. Is there an afterlife, and if so...what is it like? The Discovery attempts to explain a scientific finding and I think it’s findings were pleasant enough to make me enjoy this movie, as well as shed a few tears. It’s moving and incapsulating...even sentimental to say the least. It never bored nor confused, as many movies will when this is the topic. Easily memorable with no frustrated questioning afterwards. Charlie McDowell also co-wrote this with Justin Lader. Two thumbs up guys. 

4. GIFTED - (Marc Webb) Starring Chris Evans, Mckenna Grace, & Jenny Slate

Raising a child prodigy isn’t easy. Especially when you are the uncle and your niece is so intellegent you would move the earth to help her, protect her, and keep her challened and safe. But what IS best for little Mary? I absolutley adored this movie and I know you will too. An emotional and heartfelt drama.

5. KING ARTHUR LEGEND OF THE SWORD (Guy Richie) Starring Charlie Hunnam, Jude Law, Astrid Berges-Frisbey & Eric Bana

Growing up in a sweltering city and brothels unknowing his own birthright brought this movie to life, as so many Arthurian movies have been made, this is my first look at one, and I was impressed. Very impressed with the way that Guy Richie made this action packed film. The sound effects and music were outstanding and really got it moving. Saw it twice, back to back. The sword coming out of the stone and wall like butter and Hunnam’s extrordinary acting abilities really made this truly the “one and only” Arthur movie, I believe. It opened my eyes to a whole other genre of films I’ve probably been missing!

6. THE SHACK - (Stuart Hazeldine) Starring Sam Worthington & Octavia Spencer

A story about a family tradgey, which leads a father to question his faith. This sends him on a mission to find answers. And answers he gets, and maybe even more than that. A kind of myseterious movie that surprises you mid-way through with picturesque beauty and underlying emotion. Tip: Grab a box of tissue and stay with it. You’ll be glad you did,

7. GET OUT - (Jordan Peele Writer & Director) Starring Daniel Kaluuya & Allison Williams 

I have never seen a movie quite like this before! Peele deserves much acknowledgement from this. During a trip to visit the parents of his girlfriend Rose, Chris is in for the shock and awe of his life. I don’t want to spoil anything here, but this is a must see and I wouldn’t necessarily consider this a “horror” film as it suggests, but certainly a strong thriller. Parts played by all were spot on and flowed well throughout this nail biter. OR should I say nightmare? (But in an entertaining way...) 

8. A DOGS PURPOSE - (Lasse Hallstrom) Starring Josh Gad & Dennis Quaid

A dog who is looking for his real purpose in life. He experiences his life and death reincarnated five times. A movie with so much soul, it is not easily forgotten. A nice one for the family to see together. It’s a tear-jerker for sure, but during the happy times as well as the sad. Josh Gad does a great voice for the dog in all the phases of his lives. A wonderful book to movie adaptation. 

9. BLACK BUTTERFLY - (Brian Goodman) Starring Antonio Banderas & Jonathan Rhys Meyers

“A Killer Story with a Twist”....Now who doesn’t love that type of movie! I know I do! This was a thrill to watch, more so because I didn’t read about it first, not even the cover. So, I was really happy with the storyline. I will admit, Meyers performance didn’t match up equally to Banderas, but that comes with eons of experience! Or, perhaps I just wasn’t use to the way he talks. Don’t get me wrong, this story was GREAT. Make sure you stay with it though. It also had the potential to be so many other things as well, but for what it was, I think it was a great watch and would recommend this to anyone!

BEAUTIFUL 10 - (Mark Pellington) Starring Shirley Maclaine & Amanda Seyfried 

Shirley does it again, and this should be in my number one spot, but this isn’t in any specific order. Harriet’s character was wonderful and powerful as Shirley’s characters always are...Strong, Independent, Wise, and Indifferent. This incredible movie teaches you to treat each day as a challenge to yourself. “Have an honest day”, Harriet will say. The risks she would take in her life would define her and she deeply wanted to be remembered, not forgotten. “Make mistakes because that’s living...” This was an honest movie, with a grest cast, storyline, music was SUPURB! And the vocabulary of basically every sentence written was perfect. Thank you Stuart Ross Fink! Many life learning messages throughout this movie, which I loved. It will not EVER be forgotten as one of the best movies I have ever seen.

11. EXTORTION - (Phil Volken) Starring Eion Bailey, Barkhad Abdi, & Danny Glover

A man in a desperate situation, without the time or the resources he needs to save his family while on vacation in another country. These things really happen, and in a world that can be uncertain at times, this movie really tuggs at the heartstrings for this man...and for the viewers! Brilliantly played by who I thought was Michael Fassbender...So sorry to Eion Bailey, who did a remarable job! I am one of your newest fans! Thriller for sure, so if you settle in with popcorn...get ready for one fast paced movie that will make time pass so fast, you won’t know it until it happens! I dare you to fall asleep during this! I’m so glad this is a nominee. Much respect.

12. THE SPACE BETWEEN US - (Peter Chelsom) Starring Asa Butterfield, Britt Robertson, Gary Oldman, & Carla Gugino

Men are from Mars & Women are from EARTH. That’s the story. But don’t be fooled by the online reviews by others. Yes, it’s a “coming-of-age” movie, but it certainly has a big spark inside of it’s whole. Born on the planet Mars, “Gardener” wants nothing but to go down to earth and live a normal life. This has consequences to his health, obviously. Undetermined, yet, even by the astronauts and medical staff astronauts, and life itself on earth...things seem pretty clear...until they aren’t. Upon finding out and missing out...the end of this movie was great...it didn’t leave me hanging (I hate that!). So, take a chance on this one and see it for yourself.

13. BRAIN ON FIRE - (Gerard Barrett) Starring Chloe Grace Moretz

She was a professional reporter, living her dream in the big city, when something goes unexplainably wrong within her. This a true story, so it stood out to me in a huge way. No spolier’s here. Although, it’s an amazing movie! So many people with this same undiagnosed conditioned have been saved because of this woman’s parents never giving up to find answers. Enough said.

14. THE LOST CITY OF Z - (James Gray) Starring Charlie Hunnam & Robert Pattinson

Based on a true “legend” of a story.... A persumed lost city in the Amazonian rain forest. British research and map explorer Persy Fawsett travels into the deep debths of the rainforest to find the truth. Is there another civilization? And if so, can he proove it? Can he even get back home alive, or at all? What is the sacrifice worth? Watch this stellar movie, which is at it’s best, although it may leave you to find the true meaning of it all for yourself.

15. I DONT FEEL AT HOME IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE - (Macon Blair) Starring Melanie Lynskey & Elijah Wood

After a home invasion, Ruth shows the normalcy of how sometimes theres just nothing the police can do. Irritated with rude people, its clever that she enlists the help of her abnoxious neighbor, Tony to help her find her computer through her GPS laptop finder on her phone. This is a dark comedy, to me...I loved every part of it. But it also moves into the suspense catagory as well, making it even better. This is Sundance! Nice to see it got the Jury award this year. Much deserved.

16. HIDDEN FIGURES - (Theodore Melfi) Starring Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer & Janelle Monae...and Kevin Costner.

An untold true story of the launch of astronaut John Glenn into space. Back when African American women weren’t treated equally, these three brilliant woman’s minds go to work everyday at NASA and are the real (competent and confident) brains behind the whole operation. This story was powerful, and got much appreciation and respect from me and many others who have seen it. 

17. BEFORE I FALL - (Ry Russo-Young) Starring Zoey Deutch & Kian Lawley

How can the power of one single day have an impact on your whole life? Based on this best selling novel by Maria Maggenti. Sam seems to have the perfect life, but she wakes up living the same exact day over and over again, tring to change things and figure out what it all means. It’s a fun watch and the book is amazing! So, give this one a shot if you want to see something teenager-ish with big twists. I have a girl teen myself, and we enjoyed watching this together! It just had to make my “Top 20″.

18. COLOSSAL - (Nacho Vigalondo) Starring Anne Hathaway & Jason Sudeikis

Now this was just FUN. Not usually my style (Monster’s)... but this was the exception because of the story and the amazing cast. A Rivalry, between two friends happens to be a very dangerous one! I enjoyed not just the cast, but how grounded it was. An easy watch, and like I said...pretty fun, and quite original in itself. 

19. SPLIT - (M. Night Shyamalan Writer & Director) Starring James McAvoy

Split personalities come out to play around in a kidnapping of 3 teenage girls in this deep seated thriller. One they leave a surprise, although each and every one is played brilliantly by McAvoy and told in a clever way by Shyamalan. All of his movies are great, in my opinion with this one taking a top spot in my mind. I loved how darkly insanely crazy this was, watching each character emerge on screen. And just knowing that the final personality took over 15 years to create. Wow! 

20. LIFE - (Daniel Espinosa) Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Reynolds, Rebecca Ferguson

On board the International Space Station, astronauts go on a mission to brig back proof if there is life on Mars. Extraterrestrial Life. And their findings proove to be very dangerous and life threating to everyone on board. Clever, and suspenseful, I would watch this one again. It’s interesting and the cast is great. There may or may not be a few twists! 

Honorable Mention: THE BELKO EXPERIMENT, where “Office Space” meets “Battle Royale”. A disturbing game insues inside of a huge titanium or crazy metal impenetrable building full of office workers. Very blood thirsty & a thriller that does have its twist, which of course, I’m all into. Not for everyone, thats for certain, but if you like “games” like these on the screen, this is a great new one to see!
