  With the revelation of  a recent personal tragedy Camille has faced while in the mental institution, it begs the question, what else will be revealed.    The start of the episode has Detective Willis trying to bridge the communication gap with the Chief (Matt Craven). He believes that Camille knows something that she is not saying. He tells the chief that if he can get it from her, he will pass it a long, and he would appreciate if the same was done for him.   Camille goes to lunch with Adora's (Patricia Clarkson) friends without her mother. This is because of her cut on her hand, according to her, her friends believe differently. When Camille gets to the restaurant all the friends, are asking who she believe killed the girls. It is thrown around that the Nash father was involved and John Keane as the other possibility.      There is a strange scene towards the middle of the episode where Amma turns on the Tupac song "Dear Momma". What w...

Photo form nytimes.com   Hollywood has seen a recent rise in the their use of racial tension for the use of entertainment. Question is whether or not it gets preachy?   Collin (Daveed Diggs) is three days away from being off of probation. On his way home he witnesses a cop shoots an unarmed black man. This shakes Collin to his core, so much so that he begins to reevaluate his friendship with Miles (Rafael Casal).   One thing that I learned, and very much appreciate about this movie is that it was made before it was picked up anywhere, and was shown at festivals until someone decided to grab it.  I have respect for people like that.   What I most liked about this was the way that it was written. It was able to be funny, but not overly. On top of that, it was able to tackle such an important topic without being preachy, which is not an easy thing to do.   The acting was also a lot better than I thought it would be. Especially, from that of Daveed Diggs...

    When buddy comedy films work, I am a huge fan of them. When I heard of this, I have to say that, I felt like there was a possibility for something that could have at least been a fun time. Then, I came across the fact that there was a public advance screening for it tonight. For those who do not know, generally that is not a great sign.    Audrey (Mila Kunis ) has been recently dumped by Drew (Justin Theroux). Her best friend Morgan (Kate McKinnon) has been by her side the whole time getting her through this. When Drew comes back to try and talk to her, he brings her into a big worldwide conspiracy.    This is the film debut for writer/ director Susanna Fogel, so how does the story pan out? Well, to put it simply, not great. This felt like a by the books spy comedy. I felt like,  anytime they tried to pull the wool over my eyes, I could call what would happen . So, is it at least funny? Again , I have to kill this hope. Through the film I did...

  I love the fact that when you into a "Mission Impossible " film you can not be crazy to ask "how intense will this be?" Started back in 1996, as the series goes a long, Cruise always tries to top himself. So for "Fallout", does this remain true?  The story picks up a few years after the events of " Rogue Nation". The remnants of the syndicate are still at large, and Ethan is on their toes.  After watching five of these movies, it is interesting to watch one of these movies where they have to spend their time fixing the fact that they failed.    This is the first time in the history of the series that a director has done two movies. It was always a one and done thing because the producers always wanted to keep the series fresh. Christopher McQuarrie needed to come back and not just make it as good as "Rogue Nation", but better. There will be haters no matter if he did or did not. What I will say about that is, do not be quick to ...

 People were deeply upset when the original "Teen Titans" was canceled when in 2006. When 2013 came around and "Teen Titans Go!" premiered, many were disappointed on the route it took. It did end up becoming a hit, so alas we get the movie.    The plot is pretty simple, and straight forward, the Titans feel disrespected among the hero community.  They feel the solution to this issue is to get a nemesis.    Before going into this film I had no idea what to expect from or, should I say the cartoon in general. I was pleasantly surprised  at how funny the film was. A lot of the jokes are meta, and surprisingly work. It kind of felt like a kid version of "Deadpool".  When it came to the story, I loved how deep the character of Robin was. When it comes to most superhero films, a lot of characters lack and sort of dimension. In the movie,  Robin has a hard time accepting who he is as a person.  I don't know what is maybe, I went in ser...

 This week is a bit of a heavy one for me, with five to see this weekend. First off is "Teen Titans Go!  To the movies!". It revolves around the Titans wanting to be taken seriously as hero's, but are in need of a nemesis.   We get the sixth entry in the Mission Impossible franchise. This one revolves around the idea that Ethan Hunt has failed a mission.   We go into the indie circuit with "Don't Worry He Wont Get Far on Foot". The story surrounds a man who is crippled from a bad car accident, and uses art to get over the injuries.        "Blindspoting" tells the story of a man, on the last week of his probation, who witnesses the murder of an unarmed man, by a cop   To round out my weekend, I will be able to attend an advance screening of "Spy Who Dumped Me". It is about a woman who is dumped by a guy that, she later finds out, is a spy.   Whatever you see this weekend, enjoy!

 What made me curious about the show was the fact it was going to be new story set in the same world as the many stories of Stephen King.   The story centers around Henry Deaver, a defense attorney, living in Texas. After loosing a high profile case, he gets a cryptic phone call from Shawshank prison, about a prisoner with no name (Bill Skarsgard). The unknown prisoner was  discovered in cellblock F, a ward of the prison that has not been used since 1987. The question of how he got there comes to be.   We come to learn that Deaver was missing for eleven days during a Maine winter. For those that do not know, the cold there gets horrifying.  He comes back after eleven days with no memory of what happened. During these eleven days, his father was found out in the woods near death.   I do believe this works as a Stephen King adaptation of sorts. Its fun having an original story with fan favorite King characters. Yes, there is "Dark Tower", but I feel lik...
