Hello everyone, I'm back after a long hiatus and this past month of November, I got to see some pretty good movies. One, being the finale in the Hunger Games Saga, Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 and Creed, the highly anticipated Rocky spin-off. Beginning with Mockingjay part 2, the film adequatley gives a proper send off to all off the characters in the film. The protagonist , Katniss Everdeen, is faced saving all of the districts once and for all and her group of x-hunger games victors and friends battle against President Snow for a new republic in the capitol, a democratic republic. There were good tense action scenes , that of which one saw in the trailers, it is to be expected, but nothing over the top, or breathtaking.  Also, for first-time viewers, be on the lookout for newly recruited foes from Snow and his army, for all you zombie fans, there's a surprise for you all. But, the ending of the film was predictable and there was no major drama or suspense that leaves you...

All you know the the late- great Robin Williams. His genius in tv, movies, comedy, and entertainment will live on forever. Honestly, I can't believe it's been over a year since he passed. His death for me, was as heartbreaking as Michael Jackson's. But, a way to remember him is watching the documentary, Robin Williams Remembered, that chronicles the life's work of Robin Williams , ranging from his Julliard days to Happy Days and his Good Will Hunnting , Dead Poet Society and many iconic film of his. It's available on Netflix to stream. If you are a fan, you gotta check it out!!

The fight that everyone has been waiting for , will happen on May 2nd, and with only a couple days away, the boxing world and fans around the world will know who is the best fighter today. This fight should have happened 7 years ago, when Mayweather and Pacquiao were younger and coming off great victories but I'm glad that this fight will happen. This fight will also be one of the most expensive fights ever, Floyd Mayweather is expected to make over 100 million dollars and the same goes for Manny Pacquiao. You can purchase the fight on Pay-Per-View for about $100. Seats for the fight are being sold for as high as $40,000 dollars each. So, with all of this money being invested, the fight better not disappoint. Now, in terms of who will win, I believe that Manny Pacquiao will win  this fight in the 12th round and a potential knockout. I respect Mayweather's credentials and him being undefeated, but I think for the more reason, he has something to lose in this fight, and his mask...

To all my Fast and Furious fans out there, I have some good and exciting news, Furious 8 will hit theatres on April 14th, 2017. There will be another movie!! We shall see where the Furious crew heads next. I had no doubt that there will be another movie, it made over a 100 million dollars in its opening week and to date, its made over 1 billion dollars worldwide. Most of the revenue obviously came from those movie goers, including myself, wanting to see how Paul Walker's tenure with the franchise ended, due to his tragic death in 2013. It will be interesting to see if there will be any new characters added in for the next movie and potentially  another leading A-list Hollywood actor added into the cast.  The news was announced today in Las Vegas, at Universal's CinemaCon by leading actor and franchise staple , Vin Diesel. According to IMDB, Diesel's reactions were, " We were giddy and excited, you all (fans) gave me so much confidence. There was so much love." In...
