Mother review


Mother starring Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem directed by Darren Arnofsky who in my opinion has had a very mixed career when it comes to movie quality. Black Swan and The Wrestlers are fantastic movies but in between them you have Noah which was long tedious and just flat out boring I thought. Now he gives us Mother and I have no idea how to even review this because it's unlike a movie I've ever seen before. The last 30 minutes especially absolutely destroyed the movie for me. Before that I was honestly liking it but that final act just stops it from being great.

This movie is definitely not going to be for everyone as it can be disturbing at some points especially as I said that final 30 minutes or so is just flat out ridiculous and feels like it doesn't belong in this movie. It's like they just threw everything at the wall and tried to see what would stick. I can't put it into words but I will say this it is absolutely terrible and I honestly felt like getting up and walking out which is weird for me since I have never ever felt that during a movie.

The performances are good Jennifer Lawrence is on screen for the majority of this movie and she plays it well, Bardem is same always really he definitely looks the part and plays it with ease. Ed Harris and Michelle Pheffier are also good here but their characters have no real purpose, they don't really offer anything to the movie if I'm being honest.

All in all this was enjoyable until the final act which was just a massive mess. Go see this if you want it's your own choice but for me this was a bit of a letdown as I was excited going in.

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...
