Logan

Poster via imdb.com
In the year 2029, the X men have disbanded and the mutant population is almost extinct. Logan is older and has aged greatly because the adamantium in his body is now poisoning him and he no longer has healing factors. He's now a chauffeur and takes care of the old and sick Professor X with the mutant, Caliban. One day Logan is approached by a nurse, Gabriella, (Elizabeth Rodriguez) to take 11 year old  Laura to a place called Eden in North Dakota. He takes the job reluctantly but finds Gabriella dead the next morning. Logan, Laura and Professor X are almost killed by the same agents who killed Gabriella and Caliban is captured. They find out that mutant children are being bred by Transigen and Gabriella helped several children escape. Laura was bred with Logan's DNA so they have the same abilities. After so many obstacles, Laura and Logan get to Eden. All the kids are there waiting for Laura and they take care of Logan by tending to his wounds. Rictor, who runs camp, gives Logan a serum to restore his healing powers. The children plan on going across the Canadian border. Xander Rice, head of the  Transigen project, Donald Pierce, Transigen's Security Chief and his Reavers, go after the kids. When Logan sees this, he injects the serum into his system and it makes him super strong and hyper.

He kills most of the Reavers and and shoots Rice so Pierce releases X-24, who is a younger Wolverine clone, on Logan. X-24 and Logan fight, the kids use their powers to kill Pierce. X-24 almost kills Logan but Laura shoots him in the head with an adamantium bullet. Before Logan dies, he tells Laura not to be the weapon she was made to be. Laura and the children mourn his death and bury him, but before leaving, Laura changes the cross into an X before continuing her journey across the border.

 Logan is no doubt one of the best Marvel movies yet and Hugh Jackman portrayed the character so well, no one can portray Wolverine like him. Nothing in this movie is forced, it flows from the beginning to the end. There is necessary character development making you get emotional when any of these characters are put in harms way. The action and violence is not over the top although I had to look away sometimes when Logan and Laura sunk their claws into a lot of people. It was quite gruesome. For a second, I forgot it was a comic book movie. Logan follows in Deadpool's footsteps by being R Rated and there's enough violence to make you cringe.

 This isn't your everyday superhero film, it's filled with emotion and it's no doubt one of Hugh Jackman's best performances till date. The final scene where the kids get to use their powers was very cool to watch. The movie was well written and very different from any superhero film I've seen. After 17 years, Hugh Jackman has hung his claws as Wolverine. Logan is a great movie and you should do yourself a favor and see it.

Goodbye Mike & Rachel- Suits' Seventh Season Finale Review

  Suits is one of my favorite Legal Drama's and for some reason, I'm still very invested in the show after 7 seasons. I don't think they've had any bad season and they've done such a great job with the growth and development of the major characters but the time to say goodbye to Mike and Rachel was finally here. Due to the fact that Meghan Markle would be getting married to Prince Harry, I guess it was a good time to wrap up her love story with Mike and they do this with the fairy tale wedding we've all been waiting for. Mike and Rachel have been an item since the first season and have been engaged since the fifth. They would have been married a season ago but were not able to because of Mike's time in prison. I always loved their chemistry and I was so sad to see them say goodbye and more than anything, I loved Mike and Harvey's relationship. It was so genuine and pure. The two final episodes of the final season of Suits aired back to back and...

"Who Killed Julia Montague?"- Bodyguard Finale

BBC's Bodyguard has been one of the most satisfying series I've seen so far, this year. Over six episodes, they delivered a Limited Series that kept you on the edge of your seat and wondering what was next for Richard Madden's David Budd. David meets up with Julia's PA, Chanel, who was fired in the first episode because he was suspicious of her involvement in the bombings and he was right. She had a hand in it. Chanel set David up and he ended up getting ambushed and kidnapped by the leader of the criminal group, Luke Aitkens. The police are finally  able to piece the puzzle and they findd out that the ex-soldier who tried to shoot Julia was David's friend and this raises an alarm. They're convinced that Budd was indeed behind the bombing. Budd wakes up alone and realizes that he is strapped to a bomb vest with his thumb taped to the activating button. He is unaware that he is currently being investigated by the police and uses someone's phone to call for...

SUITS: Season 6 finale

        The 6th season of suits has been quite an emotional one with Mike's would be wedding with Rachel, his going to Prison and Rachel's death row case. Death row cases can get really sad especially if the suspect is innocent which was the case of Leonard Bailey (Glenn Plummer) who was accused of murdering two people. After staying behind bars for 12 years, Leonard Bailey was finally exonerated with the help of Rachel and Jessica (Gina Torres). During this episode, a major character said goodbye to the show. Gina Torres decided to leave Suits to film another TV Show 'Catch' and it was quite emotional. This episode showed a different side of Jessica Pearson, she put her pro Bono case first before the firm and fought for the freedom of Leonard Bailey.          Gina Torres will no longer be a series regular and I was happy her character wasn't killed off like Will Gardner in the Good Wife, (I c...
