Final Destination Bloodlines review

 


Bloody, gory fun is how I've always summed up the Final Destination movie series. Now 6 movies in after the first that released 25 years ago we have a sort of origin of how death's grip on a family all began. This movie opens up with a fantastic trip down memory lane as we get what is easily one of the best openings in the series. Featuring a young couple who are attending a high rise building named The Skyview it all begins to go wrong when they're 400 plus feet high into the air the glass begins to break under people's feet as they're dancing, partying and having a good time. It all falls on one young woman named Iris to save the day when she gets a premenition of what is about to happen and boy oh boy does something happen as the entire high rise building topples, turns and is blown to smithereens. This entire opening was brillaintly done and really set up the movie in probably the best way possible. 

Fast forward to modern day and we meet Stephanie who has been experiencing nightmares of the Skyview disaster for two months straight. Feeling almost too real and unable to shake them she not only sees Iris but how everything unfolded almost like it was from her perspective. With it affecting her college life she decides to go home and see her family as low and behold Iris is actually her grandmother but after all the time that has passed she has become a shell of her former self, living alone and spewing all kinds of crazy theories. Once she gets home and gets the location of Iris she realizes that her grandmother is a lot more disturbed than even she thought but she does have a way to attack and fight death itself. What follows is a gory, brutal and bloody affiar. 


Final Destination Bloodlines is a fascinating watch it truly is. It turns the franchise on it's head in a way with the main antagonist not actually seeing a disaster coming but actually seeing into the past tying it all together with family hence the Bloodline name. There is some pretty gnarly deaths here with a really gruesome MRI machine incident and a family get together that ends in the worst way possible. All in all Final Destination Bloodlines is easily one of the best movies in the franchise. It's funny, gory and has a fantastic opening that sets it all up really well. It also features a final farewell from one Tony Todd in a scene that is as impactful as it is kind of emotional. Gore, blood and family ties oh my!

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...
