Ant Man and The Wasp (2018)

 In the aftermath of 'Captain America: Civil War,' Scott Lang is on house arrest and spends his time playing with his very adorable daughter Cassie (Abbie Ryder Fortson) as he counts down the days until he regains his freedom. He is confronted by Hope Van Dyne and her father, Dr. Hank Pym with a very urgent mission and they have to work together to save Janet Van Dyne who has been stuck in the Quantum Realm for 30 years.
   Unlike the first film which I thought was very dull and forgettable, Ant-Man and The Wasp which is the 20th Marvel film was more fun and playful. I loved the cast and characters especially Evangeline Lily's Wasp. She was fierce and in control. I loved the fact that I was not emotionally invested like I was for Infinity War. It was pure entertainment from the beginning to the end. It relied heavily on the charm and wittiness of Paul Rudd and his character which I thought brought more life to the film. The funniest scene had to be when his suit malfunctioned and he shrunk to the size of a child at his daughter's school. Peña also stood out as he brought a lot of humor to the film. Hannah John-Kamen was a refreshing addition to the cast and I loved her as Ghost. There's a lot of emotion involved in this character and you're left wondering if you should feel bad for her or hate her. The action scenes were particularly interesting to watch with the way people, buildings and cars got smaller and bigger. If I'm being completely honest, I had very low expectations but I was pleasantly surprised at how entertained I was watching this sequel.


RATING 8/10
DIRECTOR Peyton Reed
STARRING Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lily, Michael Peña, Michael Douglas, Laurence Fishburne, Hannah John-Kamen
RELEASE DATE July 6, 2018

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...
