F1 The Movie review

 


Formula One isn't exactly one of my favorite sports by any means. The thought of racing expensive cars threw a bucket list world locations never really appealed to me so when I first saw the trailer for F1 The Movie I was skeptical to say the least. Well now I've seen it and not only is the movie a proper summer blockbuster but it was easily one of the most thrilling, satisfying and overall brilliant movies of the year so far. Brad Pitt stars as a racing driver named Sonny Hayes who at one point was F1's biggest prospect. His life got turned upside down and inside out when he was involved in a life altering crash on the track. 30 years go by and Sonny now a freelance driver gets recruited into a struggling F1 team by an old friend who is played by Javier Bardem, so  will Sonny join up??

Brad Pitt is excellent here as Sonny Hayes a gritty no nonsense driver who likes to drive hard and not play by the book. Once he joins up with this struggling F1 team his goal is to help them win a F1 Championship. What follows is a real thrill ride of car races, intense character moments and ultimately a real feel good factor. The real highligh here however is the relationship between Pitt's Sonny Hayes and the rookie of the F1 team named Joshua Pearce who is a real hot shot so to speak. What starts off as a feud between the two tranforms and morphs into something really fascinating. 


So in summry is F1 The Movie any good?? the answer is absolutely yes it is. It is thrilling, action packed and really feels like a proper summer time blockbuster. It's all wonderfully made with F1's many expensive cars and a huge visual list of locations from the UK, to Japan, Mexico and everywhere else in between. With Formula One not being a real interest of mine this movie was a real pleasant surprise indeed and is well worth checking out more so if you're a big F1 fan as various drivers actually do show up here and play a part too. F1 The Movie is a thrill ride and will do laps around you as it's drives to it's end goal. Brilliant!

Fighting with my Family review

Image
The Knight Family are a unique bunch to say the least. Not only do all the children wrestle but so do the mother and father. And out of that we got Paige. Florence Pugh stars as Saraya Knight a young girl from Norwich England. Her brother Zak Knight played by Jack Lowden has one dream. Of making it to the WWE and he will do anything to make it all possible. At it's core Fighting With My Family is exactly what the title says. A family who fight as we're shown the entire Knight family wrestling in small venues in Norwich. Ricky Knight who is the father wants so much for his kids to succeed and after sending tapes to WWE for them to review and possibly accept both Saraya and Zak for a tryout the family gets it's wish as WWE visits the UK for it's European tour. This is when we meet Vince Vaughn's character who is the guy in charge of recruiting talent and pushing them to see how far they can go and how much they have in them to make it to the top.

Superman & Lois 3x13 : What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger review

Image
                Be warned there will be SP OILERS* inv olved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. Season 3 of Superman and Lois has come to and end in the most devastatingly epic way. The finale opens up with Sam Lane telling Lois and Clark that Lex Luthor is nowhere to be found. Clark adds more to this by saying he can't hear him either but Lois is not convinced after all Lex did literally threaten her at the end of last weeks episode. A meteor shower is planned for the evening right at the center of Smallville town so you just know something is going to go down then and as expected something major does go down but more on that a bit later. As the boys leave the house Lois tells Clark that she is ready to be intimate again and the two fly off to a private secluded area where they can be together for the first time since Lois had her breasts removed due to her cancer. It's a tender moment and one that does feel very important fo...
