A Big Bold Beautiful Journey review

 


Meet David and Sarah.Two people who couldn't be anymore against commitment. Their paths cross when both attend the same wedding where they embark on an emotional journey of self discovery, loss and maybe, just maybe a path to true love. All led by a mysterious car rental company and a speaking GPS both David and Sarah are guided to specific points in their lives from the past, present and future. Will they find love together or drift apart completely??

Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie star as David and Sarah and while they don't quite have the best chemistry here I really did find myself rooting for them to end up together once the movie came to an end. It's testament then to a movie that is full of cliche moments but there is just something that utterly captivated me throughout. From David learning about his parents love for their son to Sarah's distain for missing the passing of her mom it's all woven together really well and does quite pack the emotional punch. That being said some of my favorite moments where the ones where David and Sarah just talk in the car as the drive from destination to desination. 


It's said that doors are the entraceway to unknown worlds and well that is a very big plot point here as each door opened leads to a different moment from David and Sarah's lives as it all unfolds as it did before but now with them much older. It's an interesting concept that doesn't quite nearly go as far as it should've. That being said I did find myself getting dragged in by some scenes that are quite emotional and really tug at the heart strings. So in summary is A Big Bold Beautiful Journey a good watch?? I would say yes. It is full of cliches and stereotypical hum drum rom com moments but I really did quite like it a lot. Farrell and Robbie are warm and welcoming making for an overall solid 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...
