To get in to Terabithia they had to swing across on a rope over the river. in Terabithia they battled giants and sorcerers. One day, Leslie discovered that her family was moving, again.

Assassins Creed (spoiler) free movie review - by Sydney Curwen

Lets start out with the games - if you have played the games then you know what to expect, however don't set your bar too high, because I did... and I was very disappointed at the end of the film. Michael Fassbender did his best to make sure this movie worked, unfortunately he couldn't lead up to the hype. A lot of the fans love the games because they stayed in the past, but in the movie they only had 4 scenes from the past (however those scenes were spectacular). I don't know if there will be a sequel. I don't think there will be, but I know they tried their best. I cannot lie about the fact that I was on the edge of my seat the whole movie. So I would give this movie a 7/10.

Welcome to the year of a Rooster at PCS!
