Tom Cruise does the Impossible in Mission Impossible: Fallout


 In Mission Impossible: Fallout, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team (Alec Baldwin, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames) along with some familiar allies (Rebecca Ferguson, Michelle Monaghan) race against time after a mission goes wrong. The Mission Impossible series has been quite consistent since the first film in 1996 with Tom Cruise coming back film after film with stunts that leave you on the edge of your seat. The plot for Fallout was particularly darker and I loved it. There was literally no dull moment and even though it was two hours and twenty seven minutes long, I didn't feel it or get bored halfway through the film. Some action films get lost in the middle and the story ends up being all over the place but with Fallout, I found myself screaming and on the edge of my seat during some scenes. Yes, we all knew Mr Hunt was going to save the day but that didn't make it less intense.
 
I loved Lorne Balfe's work with the score although it gave me some Hans Zimmer vibes with the way it flowed with the scenes. Henry Cavill looked so dashing as August Walker and for a minute, I almost forgot he was Superman. He was in control of every scene he appeared in and played the villain really well. Simon Pegg brought a little bit of humor to the film, Rebecca Ferguson was badass while Vanessa Kirby was intense. The fact that the stunts were more realistic makes this film one for the books and definitely one of the best action films this year. The Bathroom scene, the rooftop scene and that AH-MA-ZING helicopter scene in Kashmir left me speechless. The scenes flowed seamlessly and the next scene is better than the last one. The action scenes are so well choreographed and very well shot. Of course, we got a dose of Cruise running extremely fast and it was so thrilling to watch. 

I honestly enjoyed every minute of this film and there's really no reason for anyone not to see it. It's extremely satisfying and entertaining to watch. It's almost impossible not to anticipate another film.

"Who Killed Julia Montague?"- Bodyguard Finale

BBC's Bodyguard has been one of the most satisfying series I've seen so far, this year. Over six episodes, they delivered a Limited Series that kept you on the edge of your seat and wondering what was next for Richard Madden's David Budd. David meets up with Julia's PA, Chanel, who was fired in the first episode because he was suspicious of her involvement in the bombings and he was right. She had a hand in it. Chanel set David up and he ended up getting ambushed and kidnapped by the leader of the criminal group, Luke Aitkens. The police are finally  able to piece the puzzle and they findd out that the ex-soldier who tried to shoot Julia was David's friend and this raises an alarm. They're convinced that Budd was indeed behind the bombing. Budd wakes up alone and realizes that he is strapped to a bomb vest with his thumb taped to the activating button. He is unaware that he is currently being investigated by the police and uses someone's phone to call for...

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...
