When Dom (Vin Diesel) and Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) are on their honeymoon in Havana, Cuba, Dom is approached by cyber terrorist, Cipher (Charlize Theron) who forces him to work for her by using his ex girlfriend and son as leverage. Letty, Hobbs, Shaw, Roman, Parker, Eric and Ramsey come together to stop Cipher and Dom.

The Fate of the Furious was filled with so much car chases, shootings and explosions, just like the previous films. I particularly like this one because it didn't have as much unrealistic and ridiculous scenes as the last film. Although it had a lot of over the top action scenes but that's why we love the franchise for. Every character was unique in their own way and had just enough screen time to make you love them all over again. Scott Eastwood and Helen Mirren were amazing additions to the cast and they didn't fail to deliver. I also think Charlize Theron did an awesome job as Cipher. You couldn't help but hate her and wish you could stick your hand into the screen and punch her.

The funny scenes were not forced especially the ones with Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson, they had amazing one liners. You can really do no wrong with them. I think this installment is one of the best from the franchise and I'm wondering if they can do better. You shouldn't go into the theater expecting a fantastic plot, the best thing about the Fate of the Furious are the action scenes which were on point. The critics didn't really like the film and it's funny because I'm not sure what they were expecting here. The Fate of the Furious is kind of a feel good action movie which is a bit predictable, so just go into the theater, sit back with your popcorn and enjoy.

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...

"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...
