The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It Review

 


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

The third movie in the Conjuring trilogy is a case featuring the devil, some nasty tricks and scares. Now known as The Conjuring universe which the original movie began as it spun off plenty of sequels, prequels and the like. This movie is the third entry into the main series that follows Ed and Lorraine Warren a married couple who are experts on all things demonic and paranormal entities. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga return as the Warrens as this time around they are tasked with investigating a murder that may in fact be linked to demonic possession. It's a pretty basic premise and set up but much like the other two Conjuring movies it does it's job and works fine. 

I myself have only recently see both movies in this series before going to see this final chapter and seeing them all almost together it really opened my eyes to the overall quality of them all. The Devil Made Me Do It is by far the worst entry in the trilogy not really boasting any impactful or warranted scares. The second movie especially had pretty much everything you could want from a horror movie. It had suspense, mystery and a really solid story driven narrative. This movies story however is clunky, lackluster an quite frankly boring at points. That being said there is some good performances here from Patrick Wilson and Vert Farmiga as is to be expected given just how good they have been throughout the trilogy and even the spinoffs. They're entirely believable as Ed and Lorraine Warren which does make the overall viewing a little bit easier. 



With all of that in mind The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It isn't a complete disaster it does have some interesting aspects like demonic possession, Ed's failing heart and breathing problems and even focuses on the duality of your actions and the impending actions the justice system will take. If this is the final outing for The Warrens however I do wish they could've gone out with just a little more of a bang y'know?

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...
