Captain Marvel (2019)








Captain Marvel is a Kree warrior fighting under the command of her mentor Yong-Rogg (Jude Law). Six years later, she crash lands on Earth while under attack by the Skrulls. She begins a path of self discovery which leads her to the truth about her identity and her former life as a U.S. Air Force Pilot. With help from SHIELD Agent Nick Fury, Captain Marvel tries to uncover the secrets of her past while harnessing her superpowers to end the war with the Skrulls.

I've been looking forward to seeing Captain Marvel because I've been a fan of Brie Larson and I wanted to see who was going to save the universe from Thanos and bring back our beloved Superheroes who disappeared at the end of Infinity War. There were so many controversies surrounding this film and a few bad reviews to and after seeing the film, I'm convinced a few of these critics have a personal vendetta against Larson. Larson is a great actress and she did an amazing job as Carol Danvers. Larson and Samuel L. Jackson were a delight on screen and their chemistry didn't seem forced in any way. This is Jackson's biggest MCU role till date and he did delivered with the humor. The CGI Digital de-aging on Jackson is honestly the best I've seen. I loved how Captain Marvels' origin story played out and progressed from the first to third act. It was entertaining and had the right amount of wit to keep me on the edge of my seat for over 2 hours without getting bored. I loved the cinematography and the 90's music that came with it. Captain Marvel is the first Marvel film to be co-directed and starring a female. It's obvious Marvel was all about female empowerment and I loved every minute of it. And, what was that cat??? I knew there was something about Goose but I was completely caught unawares when it opened its mouth to swallow all those people.
   The third act is where we really get to see Danvers jn action. Captain Marvel is a story of self (re) discovery and it's easy to relate with her character emotiomally. Is this Marvel's best work? I don't think it is but it was an entertaining origin story that gave us a better look at how the Avengers initiative started and I can't wait to see how Danvers will fit into Avengers: Engame.

"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...

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...

Snowfall Season One Finale Review- "The Rubicon"

   There's no denying that this season has been intense for the four major characters and everyone around them. The first season of Snowfall was all over the place but the by the 8th episode, I was convinced the writers finally got their thoughts together. The pilot episode was good and I felt this was a show I was going to fall in love with, but it became a struggle to watch after the third episode.  They got my attention back after Leon was shot in the final scene of the 8th episode. Franklin got himself into a very dangerous business which I still think he hasn't fully realized. He wants to hustle hard and make sure he's mom doesn't have to bother herself about anything, but she's disappointed when she finds out about her son's extra curricular activities. The neighborhood knows that he's the boss and he's really all about the money.  Damson Idris brings his character of Franklin to life and I couldn't see anyone else playing this role. He's ...
