Bad Boys : Ride or Die review

 


By now you'd think Bad Boys has run it's course right?? 4 movies in and things should be slowing down right?? well that is certainly not the case as Will Smith and Martin Lawrence return as wise cracking Miami cops Mike Lowry and Marcus Burnett. Now a lot older but still very much in the game their forced to go on the run as they try to prove  their old Captain's innoncent after he is framed for something he didn't do by a mysterious group of soldiers. Right off the bat Bad Boys Ride or Die feels so much more fresh and upbeat than the previous entry which I felt was lacking in a lot of departments. The action was there but nothing else was y'know?? well that's not the case as there is some serious consequences and stakes on the line from all angles. 

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence's chemistry is truly infectious. They make you laugh, holler and even tug on the heart strings a little bit. It's a real return to form here in a story that while simple delivers buckets of popcorn fun. The action and gunfire is intense and tight with the camera work at times swithcing to a first person view which was so slick and cool. As for everyone else besides the two leads they do a fine job but when you got such big personalies as Smith and Lawrence it's hard to keep up.


These Bad Boys might be on their fourth movie outing but with the way things are going I'd gladly ride with these two forever. This is action and entertainment personfied and truly feels like a true summer blockbuster should. Don't take it serious, enjoy the ride and the many, many laughs. Bad Boys 4 life!

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
