Review- Game Night (2018)






Image via imdb.com
 Bateman and McAdams star as Max and Annie, whose weekly couples game night gets kicked up a notch when Max's charismatic brother, Brooks (Kyle Chandler), arranges a murder mystery party, complete with fake thugs and FBI Agents. Brooks gets kidnapped and they all think it's still part of the game until the clues leads them to discover that it may be more than just a game. Without any rules or points, the night turns into a very chaotic one as they try to find Brooks.

When I saw the trailer for Game Night, I knew it was going to be off the chains and I'm so glad because It was way better than I expected it to be. Jason Bateman never disappoints and his chemistry with his co-star Rachel McAdams was awesome. Jesse Plemons, Sharon Horgan, Billy Magnussen, Lamorne Morris, Kylie Bunbury and Kyle Chandler were phenomenal as the supporting cast members and were all hilarious to watch. Plemons stole every scene he starred in as the very creepy and awkward Officer Gary. I couldn't get enough of Bateman and McAdams especially the bullet scene. This is the first time I'm seeing McAdams in a comedy role and she was so fun to watch. I was literally in tears for the most part of this film. The story flowed seamlessly and was genuinely funny. It had a perfect balance of witty banter, plot twists and a bit of emotion. The humor isn't forced and it was a blast from the beginning to the end. I'm still cracking up just thinking about some of the scenes. Its really hard to find a comedy film that would make you laugh out so loud and Game Night did exactly that. It's one of the best comedies I've seen in a long time and I wouldn't mind seeing it again. What's stopping you from seeing Game Night? Go see it now!!

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...
