Image via imdb.com
Baywatch is a remake of the 1989 TV series of the same name and this remake stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Mitch Buchannon who would do anything to save The Bay. He and his team of lifeguards Stephanie Holden (IIfenesh Hadera), Summer Quinn (Alexandra Daddario), CJ Parker (Kelly Rorhbach) and Ronnie Greenbaum (Jon Bass) work together to save lives on the beach. Matt Brody (Zac Efron) who is a Olympic swimming champion is recruited to become a lifeguard as community service for puking in the pool. Initially, he doesn't want to help out but eventually they're able to take down the drug dealer Victoria Leeds (Priyanka Chopra).

I think all the actors did excellent jobs, I particularly loved watching Priyanka Chopra as the villain. Each character developed as the movie progressed and it also had a few funny scenes. With Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses, Identity Thief) as the director, I actually expected it to be funnier and more entertaining. The cinematography was perfect and almost everyone in this film is seen with a swimsuit except Priyanka Chopra who looks amazing as usual in all her scenes. I wish she had more screen time. There's a cameo from original Baywatch casts David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson. Hannibal Buress also has a small role in the film. This movie wasn't made for the critics to love, it's a feel good comedy film which I enjoyed watching.

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...

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. Image via nbc.com The warehouse was a spot...
