Power Rangers (2017)

To be very honest, I was never excited to see Power Rangers, which is probably because I didn't see the previous series and films. I'm a fan of super hero movies and TV shows but I wasn't too thrilled to see this one. The trailer looked good but not enough to make me crave to see the movie, but I saw it anyway. The plot isn't anything too crazy or special, it's basically how a group of high school students get their powers and save the world. These students don't get to actually wear their suits until 20 minutes to the end of the movie, then everything just felt rushed. It was like everyone was waiting for them to finally get into the suits and make everything exciting, except it really wasn't.

The story line is good and each character had a chance to shine on their own, plus amazing CGI. The character development was on point but I felt like the final scenes were a bit rushed and I kept rolling my eyes uncontrollably. The characters were very like able and I think Elizabeth Banks did a great job as Rita Repulsa, but they gave her a lot of silly lines which I really didn't find funny. I think she's a really diverse actress who can play any role thrown at her. She literally kills it every single time. There really wasn't anything memorable about the action scenes, not a lot of action there, more like objects running around stepping on buildings. Power Rangers might feel nostalgic and interesting for the old fans, but for the new audience members like me, it was an okay movie. Not Oscar worthy, just a good movie I wouldn't bother to see again if i had the opportunity.

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 cried for two episodes straight) which means

"Don't Tell Mama"- The Shocking Sharp Objects Season Finale

Sharp Objects easily tops the list of my all time favorite TV Series. The HBO Limited Series aired it eight and final episode last night and it's something I'll probably never forget. I'm trying so hard to find the right words to describe this amazing show and the phenomenal acting from Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson and Eliza Scanlen. They were just too perfect. Throughout the season, we've all been trying to figure out who the killer was in this whodunnit and I had so many theories. I never believed it was John Keene because most times, it's always the person you least expect that'll end up being the perpetrator. My first suspect was Alan (Henry Czerny), Adora's husband and Amma's father. I thought the only reason he would venture out to killing teenage girls was due to the fact that he was no longer as had a bond with his daughter and his loveless marriage but I was so wrong. Then I thought it was the Police Chief, Bill who was in cahoots with Ado

Chicago Justice: Series Premiere/Crossover Episode-"Fake"

Image via imdb.com I looked forward to seeing Chicago Justice after it was announced because I love the One Chicago universe even though I'm yet to see the other shows, i'm very familiar with their stories and characters. I'm a crazy fan of Chicago PD so I'm going to binge watch all the episodes of Chicago Fire, but I don't think I'll be able to see Chicago Med. Medical shows are too emotional for me. With Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, I don't know where to start from, but I'll binge watch from season one to eighteen whenever I can for sure. The four part crossover started with an episode on Chicago Fire and concluded in the season premiere of Chicago Justice. There is a fire at a warehouse and the Chicago Fire crew think it's an accident but Severide (Taylor Kinney) finds metal wedges shoved under the door which means whoever started the fire wanted everyone trapped inside, so its arson.
