"Free Guy" Movie Synopsis and Ratings Guide

 

              PG 13

          Violence and Action Throughout, Some Sexual References, and Some Strong Language

Guy, a disposable, NPC character in a popular video game, wakes up every morning to his perfectly predictable but pleasant life, where he works as a Bank Teller, and hangs out with his best friend Ron, the security guard. Until one day everything changes, Guy experiences love at first sight with the girlfriend of an armed robber, who holds up his bank. Suddenly all he can think about is a future with this mystery woman. He realizes he can make this happen by getting his hands on a pair of the special glasses he’s seen the bad guys wear. The next time his bank is held up Guy disarms the robber and takes his glasses (which he comes to find give you special abilities and access to cool features within the video game). While roaming around town wearing the glasses, he runs into HER. She teaches Guy that he can accumulate points fast by committing crimes and disposing of other players in the game. Against this, Guy figures out he can accumulate even more points by committing good deeds and fighting crime. In a matter of a few days he becomes the highest scoring player in the game, with the most amount of followers. People begin tuning in just to see what Guy will do next. The creators of the game aren’t happy with this turn of events. They come to find out Guy is an NPC and try to eliminate him.

Violence and Action Throughout: The following violence is NOT graphic (bloody or realistic). Characters are shot left and right in this film; most in the chest, a few in the head. There are car crashes, shoot outs, explosions, and fist fights: In one scene Marina fights other players with a sword and axe. She slices one in the stomach, and stabs two others in the chest. Guy steps in to help and breaks other player’s arm. Marina stabs other player in the neck with a knife and throws him through the air with it:  In another scene a player jumps out a window on fire. He gets up and runs down the street on fire.

Some Sexual References: Sexual references that are more suggestive in nature and do not crudely refer to people engaging in sexual activity. Some examples include: “My viewers would just banana crème sandwich all over themselves”, and It’s like losing my virginity, but in my mouth”.

Some Strong Language:  There were a few uses of the F word, and a stepped on Mother F*. As well as two uses of the D word, that refers to a man’s genitalia. And finally, one use of the middle finger.

Other:  There IS some other mild PG language, such as God dam, shit, and we're screwed.

Hiking Among the Beautiful Wild Flowers in Malibu

Getting out in nature is good for the soul, to unplug and get away from it all for a few hours. As you know contributes to peace of mind and emotional well being. What could be better than hiking by the ocean with it's spectacular views, light ocean breeze and fresh air. Located off PCH Highway, both hiking spots are within a couple blocks of each other, and very easy to find.  Malibu Bluffs Park: One of my all time favorite places to go. Is always a pleasure, especially during the spring time. I have fond memories of taking my son there as a kid, picnicking and flying kites. There are two cool playgrounds, a sand pit and a zip line area.The place has changed a lot since I've been there last (about a year ago). They have cleared away brush from the walking path around the grass, allowing for additional views of the ocean and homes on the hillsides (which are fabulously covered in yellow wild flowers at the moment). To my absolute delight, they have created a clearly marke

Discover the Picturesque Longridge Park Hiking Trail (Sherman Oaks, CA)

Me and the hubs out to discover new hiking trails in the San Fernando Valley, hit up Dixie Canyon Park first, in Sherman Oaks. First of all, Park??? There is a clearly marked trail that leads to, well, nowhere. At a certain point, after hiking about ten minutes, the trail (?) becomes WAY too narrow and dangerous with loose gravel and mud pockets. We had to turn around and head back the way we came. This is a charming little spot if you live in the direct vicinity of the "Park". It is very green and shaded over. On the plus side, the drive up is VERY pretty. Dixie Canyon is tucked into the hills of a picturesque, upper class neighborhood, full of McMansions, and all around beautiful homes of varying architecture. After Dixie Canyon I wasn't ready to go home. So, I chose for us to visit Longridge Park (?)  Longridge Park Trailhead is located up in the hills of Sherman Oaks, at the end of a lovely residential street. Again, the drive up was spectacular, through a fairy tale

Absolutely Magical butterfly Den Discovery! In Lake Balboa!

So, the butterflies have emerged once again now that the weather has warmed quite a bit. They are everywhere, BUT I have discovered the mother of all butterflies dens. A truely magical place hidden away from the main paths. While out for a bike ride today I decided to take a semi-dirt path, almost completely hidden off the main street. I had accidentally stumbled across it before, but hadn't the time to explore it. Today upen entering the bike path, off Burbank Blvd, I was completely taken aback by the sheer amount of butterflies, seemingly attracted to the bright yellow wild flowers growing along both sides of the path. I stopped for quite a long while to video tape them, but upon viewing the footage, I realized it does not compare / do the place justice. I hopped back on my bike and rode a little further, which is when I saw a closed off (barred) path to my right, with a small opening, large enough to walk a bike through. This hidden jem of a path contained even more
