Tenet review


Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it.

With Tenet the return to the world of cinema is beginning to take shape again. With that being said can Christopher Nolan's latest movie really recapture audiences? Tenet stars John David Washington as a secret agent who embarks on a dangerous and explosive time bending mission to prevent World War III. Tenet also stars Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Kenneth Brannagh and more. It is a time bending, alternative look at what could possibly happen if the future was able to connect with the past and vice versa.

Christoper Nolan is know for flipping the perspective on a lot of different things mainly when it comes to the reality of time and being in the moment and Tenet continues that trend with some truly innovative scenes when it comes to the action department especially. Bullets fly back into the chamber of a gun, cars drive in reverse and bodies shift and alter in a fights. The story is pretty standard as one man goes on a mission to prevent a nuclear explosion resulting in all manner of bad things happening. It's the action and set pieces that really do the heavy lifting in Tenet. Some of which is extremely dramatic and over the top but it works and is incredibly tension filled.

 

Tenet is unlike any other movie you'll see this year I reckon. It's bold, brash, entertaining, incredibly smart and deals heavily with time travel aspects. It does suffer from some slow scenes and clocks in at just about 150 minutes. Maybe some scenes could've been cut out but for the most part Tenet is Christoper Nolan once again flexing his intellectual muscles all over the screen once more and really is that such a bad thing??

★★★★

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...
