101 Must See Films

Take 11: Action!

I like action films. I like them because I should not like them. They are violent and contain lots of fighting. I'm South African, so fierceness doesn't frighten me.


Enter the Dragon - this is a film about martial arts. To my mind, it is the best film ever made. Bruce Lee is famous for his depection of Lee. He is involved in an undercover intelligence officer.

Agent 47 - this is a violent film. Don't watch it if you are afraid of violence. Timothy Olyphant plays Hitman 47. He is not afraid of anyone.

Hitman: Agent 47 - agent 47 has been hired to kill. He joins a young woman who is searching for her father.

Jason Bourne - this is the final film in the Jason Bourne series. Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) comes out of hiding. He finds out the truth about his past.

The Bone Collector - Lincoln (Denzel Washington), and ex-detective who is quadriplegic, comes in to solve the mystery of a serial killer. He is helped by Amelia (Angelina Jolie).

Lockout - Snow (Guy Pierce), a convicted agent is sent to rescue the daughter of the President, Emilie (Maggie Grace).

Faetaera: A Triumvirate

  A Triumvirate Brairton’s minions slipped through a barely noticeable fissure.  The tear would close shortly.  Despite the increase in their regularity the breaches rarely stayed open very long.  To the three insidious spies, the stink of the new world was almost unbearable.  But in time the triumvirate would each become so used to it they would scarcely notice it at all.  That it poisoned them they did not know.  Brairton was not in the habit of informing his operatives of fatal consequences.  Their programming precluded any thought beyond the mission they must complete.  In this Brairton had been exact and had performed the necessary rituals himself. Each had their mission branded into their being.   They would travel together for some time but then slip off to their secret destinations one by one, never to see each other again. The threesome latched on to their individual targets and began their particular brand of individual mis...

#Indie Intro

#Review: RED DESERT by Rita Carla Francesca Monticelli 4 Star reading I must confess a certain attraction to the inhospitable red planet ever since I saw Total Recall . The Arnie version of course. There simply is no other. As many of you know, I’ve even squeezed a mention of Mars into my very own little eco SciFi number. So I was delighted to come across this translation of Deserto Rosso. It is written in diary format from the perspective of Anna Persson, an astronaut landed on Mars together with several colleagues. Together they are hoping to set up a primary colony. The opening is dramatic as use of the present tense and the narrator’s situation draws the reader in. The story line switches between events on Mars and flashbacks, in the past tense, in which we learn a great deal of backstory. I found these details and the relationships Anna has with other characters very engaging. I wanted to read on and in fact finished the book in only 4 sittings. Anna's compl...

Guest Post: Creative Recharge

Lindsay Bamfield started writing fiction about 10 years ago. She has written a number of short stories and flash fiction pieces and has been published in Greenacre Writers Anthology , Voices from the Web 2012, The Best of Café Lit 2012, Mslexia, Writers’ News and Writing Magazine.  She has won prizes in Writers’ News , Writing Magazine and Words with Jam competitions and has been shortlisted in others. She is currently re-working her first novel with advice from an editor and has a second novel on the back-burner.  How do I recharge my writing batteries? I’m not sure I’m the right person to answer this as my batteries are still somewhat depleted after illness and debilitating treatment, but my writing activity, although still less than ideal has bounced back to some extent. It was only after being ill that I understood just how much energy writing requires. Exhaustion does not engender creativity. After a frustrating dry-spell when I wanted to writ...
