The Last Of Us Part 2

The Last of Us Part II

29th July 2020/in Entertainment /by billywright

We have played The Last Of Us Part II extensively and have absolutely loved every minute of it. As expected from the first The Last Of Us, the game has a very movie like feel to it and it’s almost as if you are IN a movie. You are really able to connect emotionally to the characters from within the game.

It’s definitely worth killing many many hours of your time with you will not regret picking this one up!

The Last Of Us Part II Plot

5 years after the dangerous journey across the post pandemic United States, Ellie and Joel have settled in Jackson, Wyoming.

They’re living amongst a thriving community of fellow survivors. They have settled into peace and stability. Despite the constant threat of the infected and other survivors. As the other survivors may be more desperate and bring harm to the camp.

So, when a violent event disrupts the peace. Ellie embarks on a journey to carry out justice and find closure. As she hunts those responsible one by one. She’s confronted by a devastating physical and emotional repercussions of her actions.

Story

The story is very complex and requires a lot of attention. You can’t be on your phone or listening to music whilst playing this one! You have to pay attention to know what is going on in the story. It’s emotional and complex and one that will stay with you long after playing.

Ellie is relentless in her pursuit of vengeance and there is a cycle of violence that will be left behind, it will challenge your beliefs of right vs wrong. Hero vs Villain.

The Last Of Us Part II – Gameplay

There is a brand new gameplay system that will deliver on bringing to life the life or death stakes that Ellie’s journey takes you on. You will feel desperate and feel the struggle for survival, through improved melee combat, improved movement and dynamic stealth mechanics. Take hold of a variety of weapons and crafting items, improve Ellie’s skills and upgrade to help personalise Ellie’s capabilities to match your own play style in The Last of Us Part II.

Backdrop

We cannot not talk about the beauty of the environment that you play in. You will be taken to the peaceful mountains and forests of Jackson. You’ll see the ruins of greater Seattle and be taken to treacherous environments of the infected. All brought to life through the latest iteration of Naughty Dogs engine. Characters and the world is more realistic and detailed than ever before.

JoJo Rabbit

4th September 2019/in Entertainment /by billywright

This movie looks hilarious! It’s called Jojo Rabbit and is all about a German Boy has an idiotic friend. That friend turns out to be Adolf Hitler. Jojo Rabbit is described as an American black comedy drama film. Judging from the trailer, it certainly is dark! On the wider sense of things, dark comedies usually tend to make fun of something that is taboo and difficult discuss. But as a result making it easier to discuss. While we’ve only seen a trailer to Jojo Rabbit. It certainly seems like it’s going down that route!

Writer director Taika Waititi (THOR: RAGNAROK, HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE), brings his signature style of humor and pathos to his latest film, JOJO RABBIT, a World War II satire that follows a lonely German boy (Roman Griffin Davis as JoJo) whose world view is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a young Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their attic. Aided only by his idiotic imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler (Taika Waititi). Jojo must confront his blind nationalism. (FOX Searchlight)

Our very own Marcus Bronzy makes his acting debut in a film that’s been in production for a couple of years now, it’s called The Rizen: Possession. It’s a horror film which is written by Matt Mitchel and will have you looking behind your hands. See below the plot for the film:

In 1955, NATO and the Allied Forces conducted secret, occult experiments in a bid to win the Arms Race. They succeeded, but what they unleashed almost tore our world apart. Now a group of young urban explorers and a private military unit could become the final pieces in a 60-year plan to reopen a door that should have stayed closed.

More details will be released soon but we here at the How To Kill An Hour office are all looking forward to seeing the movie and Marcus’ acting debut. However until then check out the trailer above!

Alita Battle Angel

Alita Battle Angel

6th February 2019/in Entertainment /by billywright

Alita Battle Angel

We here at How To Kill An Hour are HUGE comic book and anime fans, so when we first heard about Alita Battle Angel we had to check it out! It’s definitely one of the best anime movies we have seen for a LONG time. It’s full of action and excitement and it reminds us of a anime classic Ghost in the Shell! However, it’s not an anime movie as such as it’s a mixture of CGI/Live Action and it does it really well. The movie is based off of an anime but moulded into a live action setting.

INFO

From visionary filmmakers James Cameron (AVATAR) and Robert Rodriguez (SIN CITY), comes ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL, an epic adventure of hope and empowerment. When Alita (Rosa Salazar) awakens with no memory of who she is in a future world she does not recognize, she is taken in by Ido (Christoph Waltz), a compassionate doctor who realizes that somewhere in this abandoned cyborg shell is the heart and soul of a young woman with an extraordinary past.

As Alita learns to navigate her new life and the treacherous streets of Iron City, Ido tries to shield her from her mysterious history while her street-smart new friend Hugo (Keean Johnson) offers instead to help trigger her memories. But it is only when the deadly and corrupt forces that run the city come after Alita that she discovers a clue to her past – she has unique fighting abilities that those in power will stop at nothing to control. If she can stay out of their grasp, she could be the key to saving her friends, her family and the world she’s grown to love.

THE PREDATOR

THE PREDATOR

29th June 2018/in Entertainment /by billywright

So, THE PREDATOR is back and badder than ever, in another installation of the once Arnold Classic! This movie looks absolutely incredible! While, we cannot wait to catch it in theatres once it is released on September 13th in UK Cinemas.

Plot: THE PREDATOR

From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black’s explosive reinvention of the Predator series. Now, the universe’s most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.

Detective Pikachu

Live-action Detective Pikachu movie!

28th May 2018/in Entertainment /by billywright

Details are scarce but Detective Pikachu will be on your screens and solving crimes in 2019! The movie will star Ryan Reynolds doing the detective part whilst Pikachu will be his trusty sidekick. Whilst surprisingly he will also voice everyone’s favourite pokemon! (Deadpool esque Detective Pikachu won’t appear, sadly!) The movie is based on a popular Nintendo 3DS game of the same name in Japan and we cannot wait for it!

Detective Pikachu: When can I see it?

Universal Pictures are hoping to start showing the live-action Pokemon film outside of Japan on 2019’s Mothers Day, May 10th 2019. Disney’s Avengers will be released a week prior. Which is smart from Universal because the sales will be disastrous for a Pokemon movie the same week as Avengers. Sorry Pikachu!

Joker is getting his own movie!

31st August 2017/in Entertainment, Film /TV /by billywright

Joker is getting his own movie and Martin Scorsese is producing…..how cool is that!

The Todd Phillips directed film is yet to be cast but Deadline are reporting htat the project is in the very early stages of development, but Todd Phillips and Scott Silver writers of The Hangover and 8 Mile respectively are penning an original script. The film is said to pay homage to 1980’s Scorsese films, with a gritty feel being said to be attached to the movie, kind of like a Taxi Driver, Raging Bull kind of feel. We’re really intrigued as to what a Phillips/Scorsese film can bring to the DC Universe and the Joker character and we’re expecting big things.
