Power Rangers (2017)


Image via imdb.com
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.

"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...

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...

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...
