Mission : Impossible - Fallout review


Mission Impossible Fallout is the sixth entrant into the franchise and it may well just be the absolute best yet. Tom Cruise returns once more as Ethan Hunt an IMF agent. This time racing against the clock itself after a job goes horribly wrong and nuclear weapons fall into the hands of strong and powerful enemies who plan on using said weapons to wipe out 1/3 of the worlds population. So it's up to Ethan Hunt and his team to once more save the day. That's the story and it's simple in it's premise but it's the action scenes that keep people who love this franchise coming back for more with each installment. Now you'd think with this being the sixth entrant into the series they'd be wearing thin on ideas for the action sequences but boy oh boy you would be so wrong.

Tom Cruise is superhuman and puts in an incredible effort throughout here. He's riding a motorcycle through a crowded Paris motorway,jumping out of a plan at 20 thousand feet, he's dangling from a helicopter, he's running and jumping from building to building and it's all presented in such a blistering and unique way that you will be on the edge of your seat time after time.The rest of the cast do a pretty stand up job also including Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Rebecca Ferguson, Alec Baldwin and Henry Cavill (who really steals the show in my opinion) but obviously it's Cruise who is the star here as he's always been throughout the now six movies.
With some incredibly amazing action sequences and a pacing that feels utterly relentless Mission Impossible Fallout is the pinnacle action movie and has really set the standard going forward for the genre as a whole. And what makes it even better is that not only does the pacing never let off but the movie just seems to get better and better as it reaches a heart pounding finale. Tom Cruise and everyone else involved have created an action movie for the ages that will leave you completely invested in it's characters and their surroundings. This is one you just must go and see. This review will self destruct in five seconds...

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.

Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it Gotham finally returns for it's fifth and sadly last season and with a run of only 12 episodes there is a lot to get through and eventually wrap up. It begins on Day 391 of No Man's Land as the final battle for Gotham comes to a head as Captain Gordon, Harvey Bullock, Riddler and even Penguin all suit up and get loaded for combat as all men led by many more GCPD officers open fire from a top a massive wall as Jim Gordon says ''For Gotham'' this of course is going to be the end of the season but let's go all the way back to day 87 of No Man's Land where we see Gordon talking to someone on a radio.

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...
