Review- Fast & Furious Presents:Hobbs & Shaw (2019)


Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), a loyal agent of America's Diplomatic Security Service, and lawless outcast Shaw (Jason Statham), a former British military elite operative, first faced off in 2015's Furious 7 and they both became famous for their smack talk and how much they both tried to take each other down. But when a cyber-genetically enhanced villain named Brixton (Idris Elba) gains control of a bio-threat that could alter humanity forever, Hobbs and Shaw have no other choice but to form an unlikely alliance to save Shaw’s sister Hattie (Vanessa Kirby) and take Brixton down.
Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham’s chemistry has been undeniable ever since they jumped on the Fast scene and making this film was a great idea but it seemed more like a standalone film than a spin-off. The plot wasn’t exactly spectacular but I wasn’t expecting anything mind blowing so I wasn’t surprised. As expected, there were a lot of over the top action scenes that left me and most of the audience laughing out loud at how ridiculous they were. What took the crown was the leaps that were taken from sky scrapers and the helicopter scene which was super ludicrous. These characters must be made of stone because they smashed into a lot of glass and stood up to continue fighting like nothing happened. I loved the chemistry between Johnson, Statham and Kirby who is in a completely different element compared to The Crown. I couldn’t get enough of the cameos which included Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Hart. The cinematography was good especially the scenes of Samoa and the fight scenes were quite entertaining and very well choreographed. Hobbs and Shaw lacked depth but it was way entertaining  I thought it would be.

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...

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...
