Review- The Greatest Showman

Image via imdb.com
   Hugh Jackman is one of my favorite actors and I was so excited about seeing The Greatest Showman mostly because it starred him and a bunch of fantastic actors I adore including Michelle Williams, Zendaya and Zac Efron. The Greatest Showman is inspired by the true story of P.T. Barnum, how he created The Barnum & Bailey Circus and the lives of those involved. I literally left the theater smiling and so glad I was able to see this beautiful film. Hugh Jackman is such a delight to watch and he did a fantastic job as P. T. Barnum. Michelle Williams, Zac Efron, Rebecca Ferguson and Zendaya all did amazing jobs with their roles and so did the supporting cast. I particularly loved Zendaya as Anne Wheeler. She looked so glorious and I couldn’t get enough of her. It was filmed and directed so flawlessly and the music, which was choreographed so perfectly, gave me goosebumps.

    How catchy were the songs? I can’t get “This Is Me” out of my head. I rarely like Musicals but I loved everything about The Greatest Showman. Yes, the plot may not match the true story but it was amazing nonetheless. And yes, I prefer this to La La Land. The last time I saw a musical that made me feel so good was the 2012 musical, Les Miserable which also starred Hugh Jackman. It’s better not to follow what the critics are saying because this was a fantastic film and I’m still trying to understand why a lot of them are slamming it. I was gripped from beginning to the end. I loved the overall theme of acceptance, loving oneself and being content. It was a fantastic film and I wouldn’t mind seeing it again. Do yourself a favor and see The Greatest Showman

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...

"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...
