Furiosa : A Mad Max Saga review

 


There's nothing like the roar of an engine. It's enough to get your heart pumping and racing at full speed. George Miller returns to the Mad Max franchise with yet another master class in filmaking and spectacle. Set before 2015's Fury Road Furiosa tells the story of how a young Furiosa came to be an angel of death in the wasteland. From humble beginnings as a young girl taking apples from a tree to feared nomad warrior her journey is one of emotion, betrayal and deceit. Anya Taylor Joy is pretty much flawless as Furiosa. Filling the shoes of Charlize Theron who made the character iconic was no mean feat but Taylor Joy does is superbly in a role featuring little to no spoken dialouge for the most part. Her presence is commanding and she really does amp things up in the action department in some incredible setpieces. 

I loved Mad Max Fury Road so when this movie was announced I was super excited, seeing the trailer only got me more aboard the hype train and now having finally seen it I gotta say it is has delivered in such a BIG way. Also along for the chaotic ride is Chris Hemsworth who plays this movie's villain and enemy of Furiosa. He is cocky, arrogant but deep down is plainly a coward with nothing to really lose. His plan to take over the entire wasteland is an interesting one as all three major settlements do battle back and forth for resources and the like. 


Furiosa : A Mad Max Saga was always destined for greateness in my opinion but this feels above and beyond that. George Miller has created another epic masterpiece packed with emotion, action and hatred. Anya Taylor Joy is thrilling, Hemsworth is wild and overall this is easily one of the best movies of the year so far and could very well be the best this summer season has to offer. This is one you just must go and see!

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...
