Scream 7 review

The serial killer known as Ghostface returns once again and so too does Sidney Prescott the original final girl in this franchise. Neve Campell is back after not appearing at all in Scream VI. In a way this movie feels like coming home as it focuses solely on Sidney, her daughter Tatum and her husband as a new killer looms with blood, gore and plenty of scares along the way. For what it's worth I really did love Scream VI and would've love to see that story continue but what we've gotten here isn't all bad far from it. The dynamic between Sidney and her daughter whom she constantly tries to protect is fascinating to watch unfold throughout. Mother and daughter are the heart of this movie that really tries to hit home that fear is around every corner in every shape and form possible. 

The opening is always important for Scream movies, from the iconic original to the others it sets the tone for what's to come and this opening well it's not great at all. Framed as an experience of the Stu Macher household it comes across as meaningless and pointless by the time the credits roll. It ties directly into practically nothing and just feels so barren and hollow. That being said the movie picks up the pace right after and apart from a really weak predictable reveal and motivation Scream 7 isn't all bad is nowhere near the worst in the series. 


Horror needs more chase scenes and that is where Scream 7 excels as it features some truly adrenaline fuled chases that feel very warranted and are really engaging throughout. As for some nostaligia moments well you'll either love or hate what they do here I'm pretty much indifferent but it's a neat concept on paper the execution leaves a bit to be desired however all culminating in a movie that was written and directed by original writer Kevin Williamson ranks about right in the middle of overall franchise quality. Be prepared to Scream all over again!

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.

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.

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...
