Immaculate review

 


I was lucky enough to see this movie a week before official release. Immaculate stars new mega-star Sydney Sweeney and after the huge success of Anyone But You has she two genre hits on her hand?? the story of Immaculate isn't anything new or truly original. It follows Sister Cecelia (Sydney Sweeney) who after the closure of her parish moves to Italy to move into a new parish that is very strict and ruled over by an almost iron fist. Struggling to learn Italian to begin things soon take a dark turn and maybe all is not as it seems as bizarre things begin to happen around the convent but all nowhere near as important as Sweeney's character being with child as it is declared a miracle by all.

Sydney Sweeney is great here, you really feel for her. Her sheer panic and fear of what is happening around her is genuinely believable. She carries the movie and without her there wouldn't be very much here at all to be honest. It's full of cheap jumpscares, silent moments leading to jumpscares and overly done cheap tricks. That being said the final act is both thrilling and chaotic as it is dark and dreary. 


Immaculate is pretty much a run of the mill horror but it is elevated somewhat by Sydney Sweeney's performance. I won't be forgetting the final moments for quite some time as it has stayed with me since I saw it all unfold before me. If you're a Sydney Sweeney fan you'll love this and be all in but if you truly love horror it really does feel somewhat empty and barren at points. Enjoyable just nothing special.

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.

The Flash 4x7 : Therefore I am review

Image
Be warned there will be *SPOILERS* involved in this review. With that being said let's get into it. This show does it again. I honestly have no idea how it can just go from last week's completely flat episode to this episode which was absolutely fantastic. It's just so frustrating because as I've said before this show as the potential to be better than all CW shows combined but given how inconsistent it is just bothers me.  Onto the episode and it begins after a first of many flashbacks to Devoe's past pretty much where it ended last week as Barry and Joe begin to question Devoe and his wife at their home. Devoe of course avoids all questions like a pro and Barry and Joe are forced to leave without getting any information. Later as Devoe is teaching a class at Central City University he once again sees Barry sitting in the back of the class watching on. Barry becomes literally obsessed with Devoe as the episode goes on and there is a lot of throwbacks to seas
