Equilibrium (2002) Poster

Cast: Christian Bale, Emily Watson, Taye Diggs, Angus Macfayden, Sean Bean, Sean Pertwee

Summary: In a Fascist future where all forms of feeling are illegal, a man in charge of enforcing the law rises to overthrow the system.

Genre: Sci-Fi, Action

Watched: April 20th, 2016


Just a short one here.

My parents have been begging me to watch this film for years now, and after finding it on Netflix (I know, I'm obsessed) I finally decided to watch it.

In all honesty I wasn't that keen on it at first; for me it takes a long time before it really gets going, but instead of giving up and watching something else I decided to stick with it and I was pleasantly surprised.

I think Christian Bale does an excellent job in this film; but personally little Robbie Preston was my favourite, for me he was part of the reason I loved the film. There was tons of action in the last few scenes which it more then made of up for the slowness of the rest of the film.


Rating: 8/10

Goodreads 2015 Reading Challenge


Well hello there! That's it 2015 has finished so that means the end of my reading challenge. It's been a while since I've posted about my challenge, in fact the last post I wrote about it was my September update.

Back in September I think I was on 106 books and 29,273 pages, but now that the year is finally over I can officially say that I finished my goal with 134 books and over 37,478 pages. According to Goodreads the shortest book I've read is Venom at 91 pages, the longest is City of Heavenly Fire 725 pages and the most popular book I've read is The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

To see the complete list of books that I read take a look see at my Year in Books.

Here's a few of the last books I read in 2015. Enjoy!

What's on my Kindle

I had been planning on writing a single post on what some of my favourite e-books are but then I decided, why not make it a regular thing? So welcome to the first of many posts about books I've read and am reading at the moment.

On my birthday last year my parents brought me a kindle because my mum refuses to buy me any more physical books. I didn't use it for the first couple months of but now I use it like mad, a 3 hour journey to and from work means that I have a lot of time for reading.
At the beginning of the year Goodreads, a site for readers and book recommendations created this 2015 Reading Challenge which I thought was a pretty good idea so I thought I'd join in and set myself a goal to read 50 new books this year, and so far I've managed to read 6.
