Sinners review

 


Director and Writer Ryan Coogler's latest movie is Sinners a story about power, corruption and vampires. Coogler of Black Panther fame once again teams up with Michael B Jodan which not only gives him one but two roles of a lifetime. Set in 1932 Mississippi Sinners tells the tale of twin brothers both played by Jordan who return to their home to start again after the war. They attempt to set up shop in their home by getting together all sorts of people from singers to a young pastor's son who is a up and coming blues prodigy together to have the night of a lifetime. It's a simple set up and even more so in what it does but where Sinners really shines is the way it builds and builds until a heart pounding last act. 

Michael B Jordan is absolutely fantastic here as twin brothers Stack and Smoke. He plays twin brothers sure but they really couldn't be anymore opposite in their approach to so many things that they do. The way they bounce off one another is fantastic and not to mention how physical and mentally strong they end up having to be. Also starring Hailee Steinfield who plays her role flawlessly Sinners really is at it's best when it begins to dig into folklore and the devil / vampires and the like. There is a lot of vampire cliches like garlic and not inviting the souls of the walking and living dead inside but it works and comes together pretty much perfectly. 


By the time Sinners comes to it's conclusion you won't be rushing to get out of the theater, far from it. It is a movie that you will be no pun intended digesting for some time to come. Not only is Sinners one of the most original movies in quite some time it is easily one of if not the best movie of 2025 thus far and by years end it could very well be one of the best. Ryan Coogler is an incredible talent no doubt and the way he has brought this to life is nothing short of spectacular. The vampires are utterly chilling and the backdrop soul moving. Sinners is a must see movie!

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...
