Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning : Part One review

 

In what is the first of a two part epic Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt and boy what a wild ride this is. I really didn't think Mission Impossible Fallout could be topped in terms of stunts, scale and overall excitement but somehow the team behind the making of this movie have outdone themselves yet again. In what is now the seventh movie Ethan Hunt is faced with his most dangerous mission yet that involves a ghost from his past, AI that could potentially destroy the planet called ''The Entity'' and a new love interest / sparring partner all while the action and intensity is dialed up to eleven. 


Right from the get go this move is unrelenting. All the gang are back from previous movies including Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames along with newcomer Hayley Atwell and as usual they all do incredible job. But the real star here as well established by now is Tom Cruise himself as the things he does are utterly spectacular. There's some truly awe-inspiring breathless moments here and he really does risk everything to deliver the greatest and biggest action packed movie he possibly can. The action varies from horse back riding in the Aruba desert to a on the edge of your seat train sequence that I don't see being topped anytime soon. 


Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One is easily the best action movie of the year and quite possibly of the decade so far. It sets up what is sure to be an unforgettable second part down the line. Cruise is the quintessential action movie star and one of the best to ever do it in my opinion. This may be the seventh installment into the franchise but it shows no sign of slowing down and continues to set the bar for action movies that very few clamber to reach. This is one you just must go and see! this review will self destruct in 5 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...
