I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys Christmas comedy movies. This is one of the films that we watch every year like Home Alone. Always fun to watch

Paris 1789 — the once-hub of cultural and intellectual activity has been thrown into bloody chaos in the midst of the tense French Revolution. Commoners have become tired of the oppressive regime of the aristocrats and have finally gathered the courage to confront the hierarchy with the pangs of the present inequality. As the nation of France tears apart at the seams, splitting into different factions, a young man named Arno sets off on a journey to reveal the true powers behind the Revolution. In the process of seeking the truth, Arno must face a ruthless struggle as he seeks to carve out a new destiny for the nation he holds dear.From the storming of the Bastille to the execution of King Louis XVI, experience the French Revolution in all its remarkable, gory detail as never before in Assassin's Creed: Unity. With an all-new game engine, Revolutionary Paris is rendered in incredibly realistic detail, letting you freely explore the open world of 18th century Paris. Navigate your way through complex building interiors, discover secret catacombs and slink through sewer systems. Featuring realistic, systemic crowds of up to 5,000 AI-driven characters, you'll feel as if you're truly in the throngs of the city. Play as Arno — a developing Master Assassin — embarking on ancestral missions, treasure hunts, murder mysteries, contracts and other heart-pounding adventures. Eliminate enemy threats with a wide range of new weapons, including the Phantom Blade, which combines a hidden blade with crossbow capabilities for ultimate devastation. Utilize full-motion control with parkour mechanics, so you can freely run up, down and across city walls and buildings. Want to remain discreet? Enhanced stealth gameplay makes it easy to stay hidden as you stalk your prey and strike without warning. Customize your play experience by choosing from hundreds of possible combinations of weapons, gear, outfits and specialized skills. Take part in an epic single-player campaign or join up with 3 friends online. You and your lethal band must rely on communication skills to successfully accomplish a slew of missions — sabotage an execution, protect an emperor, assassinate a Templar agent and more. Do you have the skills needed to reverse the fate of an entire city?

I originally preordered this game. I was excited to play it but as soon as I started I was shocked. The screen looked like it was shaking because the frame rate was so bad. Luckily a patch fixed that. Anyway besides that I noticed clumsy control over Arno which is somewhat expected as often throughout the other games the character will get stuck climbing and such. That wasn't a huge deal to me. The graphics of the city are fantastic. The graphics of the characters leave a bit of a sour taste in my mouth mainly because they still haven't figured out how to make realistic hair.
Anyway, I started the story and had difficulty getting used to new controls and animations. I wasn't used to hitting a button for cover or for crouching. Sometimes Arno got stuck crouching and wouldn't stand straight to walk. The missions in the story seemed fine. Less tailing and stealing which was nice. Going inside buildings was cool but sometimes a hassle. I liked that you didn't always have to travel. Starting a new mission put you on top of a building at the missions location which was nice. Cut scenes were pretty good but graphics were nowhere near what the teaser video showed. The story however got really stale or something. Half way through the story I got pretty bored and found myself rushing to just get the game over with.
One more problem that I hate about this game is that the guards are just way too sensitive. If you just walk around the city they get alerted and go nuts. There are thousands of other people rioting but nothing happens to them, but Arno walks and ohhhhhh it's the worst thing a citizen can do. They need to fix that or let you walk around in a normal outfit to blend in. I mean seriously, guards see one guy dressed incredibly odd...yeah. Obviously he's up to something.
So I finished the game and sold it and got nearly ever dollar back for it and picked up Rogue. Just finished it and I loved it. I rate it better than Unity because it is similar to 4 and played really well. And the ending was pretty cool with little Arno. It was nice seeing Paris in Rogue compared to Unity. Very cool.
Now just recently I was thinking how I kind of wasted my time with Unity. On my other AC games I went around and got the collectibles. In Unity I played the story and ditched the rest. So I broke down and bought the game again seeing that I still had my save data on PS4. And no I didn't pay full price. It was on sale and I had rewards and a gift card.
Turns out that I actually really enjoy the game after giving it an honest chance. I've had it for just a few days now and have been doing the side missions and everything else and it's quite enjoyable. And surprisingly the unity companion app, which seems like a real hassle, is actually pretty cool at unlocking in game content. It's easy and only takes a few minutes to open and have your assassins do missions for the day. I figured I may as well get the game again anyway to play dead kings dlc when it is available.
So even though this isn't the best game and Arno is basically just an Ezio ripoff, the characters aren't enticing, and the game had some glitches...the game currently is not that bad at all and I would recommend it as long as you don't pay full price. It will require many hours of play time. The city is loaded with stuff to do. The story is so so but challenging and different. Oh and I'm not sure if they fixed this but if you are playing a mission and you fail you have to restart the entire thing. I was in a mission for half an hour and failed and it took me back to the beginning. Real bummer seeing as some missions can take an hour. Especially if you're doing optional objectives(which need to be taken away in future games!). I say this because sometimes they just suck. There is one where the mission is stealthy so what is one "optional" objective?...kill three guards with your pistol. Yeah that's nice. Everything is nice and quiet and then BAM! Poor thinking by UniSoft.
Anyway the game is better now after all the patches. It is fun but sometimes annoying. Buy it cheap and also try Rogue if you liked AC4. It's a lot of fun.

Perfection. Michael's new style, mixed with old

I kept hearing that this album was watered down and that Michael wasn't even singing on 3 of the tracks. This is garbage. All 10 tracks are pure Michael at his finest with all the emotion you would expect from the King of Pop. He brings in his newer style of upbeat songs which are amazing and really get you moving, and then he slows it down in a few songs to take you back to his style from the 80s. It's really a great mix and none of these songs are "unfinished" and such like the media said. All lies. You will love every song on here. I could go on and on about how good it is, but I will let you see for yourself. Let's put it this way, this honestly might be my favorite MJ album, which is saying a lot since we all know Thriller was huge. This album has all the makings of a Thriller 2, people just need to give Michael one more chance, like he always wanted.
What's great about it: Great songs. Different styles. Opens up wonderfully and closes with a calming nod.
What's not so great: Honestly nothing. The music is insane and so are the vocals. More songs would be nice, but I'll live.
I would recommend this to a friend!
