Madison Promoted to Series Regular on Chicago Fire

Looks like the newest member on Firehouse 51 will be staying around.

Dora Madison, who recurred on the third season of NBC's hit drama Chicago Fire as paramedic Jessica "Chili" Chilton, has been moved up to series regular.

Madison (Friday Night Lights) joined the series late last season as a replacement for Mills, who was played by Charlie Barnett, a former series regular.

Fire has never been been shy from shaking up it's characters. Before Barnett, the series said goodbye to Lauren German when they killed her off her beloved character, Leslie Shay in the third season premiere.

Madison has also been in "Dexter," "The Lying Game" and "Star-Crossed"

You can catch the season premiere of Chicago Fire Tuesday, Oct 13th at 10/9c on NBC.

Perspective of Fear, Rage and Horror: Weekend Catch Up Part 6

Once again another weekend catch up. Here are this past week's episodes.

Royal Pains: "Lending a Shoulder" Season Finale  

In the season finale (hopefully not series finale), a life, a death and a perspective life relationships and meanings.

Hank encounters someone from his past, his ex-fiance. As Hank treats a paient that's about to get married it turns out to be Nikki. Things blow over broad when Hank thinks that it was her that caused the break up but he realizes that it was his fault.

Divya doesn't make it in time to she her grandmother but makes a life perspective when she helps save a motorist in an accident and tells Hank that she wants to go to medical school. Plus her true love comes back to her.

As for Evan and Page, as the baby was coming, you can sense that somewhere soon that the mother was going to change her mind and keep the baby. But watching both Evan and Page go through that was tough to watch.

But the ending of this episode was far brilliant and felt like a true finale when Hank and Evan watched the sunset while drinking a beer. Hank can't get over how Evan has grown so much in the past seven years of them being together in the Hampton's.

This was a really good season finale. Some laughs and a lot of really good moments that I can't say enough about.

Until next season (Season 8) or as we love to say it "next summer." Which I would think that this season eight could be the end of the series. It will make it's 100th episode and each of the characters seems to be near the end of their journey and being happy.

You can catch "Royal Pains" next summer on USA Network.

Stitchers: "Fire in the Hole" 

In this week's episode, a scientist is dead due to a virus that she was working on. But when Kristen and then gang try to find out what happen to her, things don't go the way they hope; not even on Kristen's birthday.

In this bottle episode, the gang tries to figure out the deal with the virus and the cure. The lab shuts down and one by one each member shows symptoms of the virus.

They can't get into any lab, so Camille goes inside the vents and unlock the door, but in this hilarious moment she encounters a rat and freaks out. I would too.

When hope feels lost, everyone makes a phone call to their love ones except Kristen as she tries to figure things out. Until her and Cameron talk and soon figure out that the virus can be killed by the heat.

There were some questions answered and mostly it was between Kristen and Maggie as she told her the truth about her and Kristen's mother.

Good episode, as I said there were some questions answered. Allison's character was once again hilarious. Her humor pulls off great and still reminds me of her on Warehouse 13.

Overall I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch "Stitchers" Tuesday nights at 9/8c on ABC Family.

Complications: "Fever" 

Where does the line end for John? Just how far can he go doing these things and not get in trouble?

In this week's episode John is face to help a friend to get out of jail while stealing some drugs for business. When Gretchen's friend/collage is in jail and need bail money, only one guy can help but it will cost dearly to do so.

When Gretchen ask John for help, he really couldn't but when she tells him this plan she has about stealing chemo drugs for this guy, John still says no. But when John has a meeting with the guy, he not only talks to him but blackmails him as well.

John didn't want to but came up with three or more plans to get the job done but that didn't work because Gretchen likes to wing it. As they stole up to nearly ten boxes of drugs, John saw what the guy was doing and pretending to pass on fake stuff as the real stuff.

That set John mad and blows up the lab and goes into his rage again. I think he like being angry, he looks like he's enjoying it.

Meanwhile, John's wife was informed that the cop watch was going to end and freaked out that a gang car drove by slowly. When she talks to her dear friend about it, he tells her to look into what the detective has on her husband.

This episode was good. Love how Gretchen and John always argue about how they help and that it's for the same but in a different manner of helping.

Overall I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch "Complications" Thursday nights at 9/8c on USA.

Hannibal: "The Great Red Dragon" 

It's the episode that we're all dying to see, Red Dragon aka the Tooth Fairy baby!!!

This episode started off with the introduction of the Tooth Fairy, exercising and getting his tattoo of The Great Red Dragon.

Meanwhile, we jump three years ahead in the story. Hannibal, of course, is in his special jail cell, Jack is still working for the FBI and Will is happy with his wife, son and dogs at the cabin.

As the Tooth Fairy strikes, Jack needs help from Will and pulls him back into the game. Will, who doesn't want to, decides to help on the case of this fugitive.

When Will checks out the murder scene, Will does what Will does best, vision his design and it look great. But in some why, he doesn't feel quite right about ti. Even dreaming about the murder family.

But it was at the end of the episode that Will goes to Jack and tells him that he's going to need some help, more of an opinion on the case. He wants to see Lecter and oh boy did that first meet since he was captured look great.

Also not to forget, Fredrick comes in and talks to both Lecter and Dr. Bloom. Hell Bloom had a talk with Lecter too and mostly was about Mason and how he kept his promises about Will.

This episode was great. The introduction of the Tooth Fairly was amazing well done. Hell I couldn't have wanted it either other way. Finally we get to see Will's  wife and son and not to mention Will being a profiler that he once was or is.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch "Hannibal" Saturday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

The X-Files "Ready" trailer

Another short trailer for the upcoming X-Files series as it shows a short bit of conversation with Mulder and Scully.

These short teaser/trailer is short but just enough to dying to see the full trailer which probably won't come until late fall.

Here's the video.

The season premiere of The X-Files begins on Sunday, January 24th on FOX.

Jurassic World sequel coming in 2018

The story continues!!

Universal Studios announced that the Jurassic World sequel in the works and planned to be release in 2018.


Both Chris Pratt and Bryace Dallas Howard will reprise their roles.

Along with the director of "Jurassic World" Colin Trevorrow will co-write the sequel's script with Derek Connolly.

Jurassic World 2 will be open in theaters on June 22, 2018.

Oh Hell No Turns into Oh Hell Yes: Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!

Sharknado 3 was two hours of jam pack action and fun.

(I'm not going to give away the plot because I think we all know what this will be about.)

The epic third sequel to the "Sharknado" series continues with bigger and weirder story. From starting out as a Jame Bond film and going into theme parks and even a theme of the Apollo 13.

Even though there were many and I do mean many things that didn't make scene, it still made a hell of a two hour movie that I laughed and even yelling "NO!!!" when someone got eaten by sharks.

Ian and Tara were amazing once again and this time they're trying to make things work with an addition to their family. Also a familiar face returns to to help Fin.

Let me just mention the cameos in this film. First off, Mark Cuban was amazing as the President of the United States. Even Maria Menounos, Jackie Collins, David Hasselhoff, Jerry Springer, and the gang from NBC's Today Show: Matt Laure, Savannah Guthrie, Natalie Morales and Al Roker.

There were even surprise guest from Ne-Yo, Lou Ferringno and even George R.R. Martin, who I think if any of the "Game of Thrones" saw it probably would think that it wasn't cool but it was totally awesome.

There's a little surprise at the end as this movie ends on a massive cliffhanger.

You can catch an encore of Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! Saturday, July 24th at 7/6c on SyFy.

NEW SPECTRE TRAILER

The latest trailer for the upcoming Jame Bond film "Spectre" was released today and it looks freakin' amazing!!!!

"Spectre" will be release this November everywhere in IMAX.

A "Vampire Dairies" Alum Joins "Chicago Fire"

Executive Producer Danielle  Gelber & McQueen 

On Tuesday, it was announced that "The Vampire Dairies" alum Steven R. McQueen is joining the cast of NBC's hit drama "Chicago Fire."

McQueen will be in a recurring role as a new candidate Jimmy Borelli. He'll make a dramatic entrance that even Chef Bowden doesn't accept. If you're not on Bowden good side, there's going to be an issue.

The season premiere of "Chicago Fire" is Tuesday, October 13th at 10/9c on NBC.

The Capture and Dinner: Hannibal: "Dolce"/"Digetive"

In the episode "Dolce" Will and Jack are hunting down Hannibal. Hannibal, who is recovering from his wounds from Jack, is thinking of a way to get back.

Later, Jack and Will find where Hannibal's been staying at and talks to Bedelia, who was drugged up. Playing that she isn't who she is and all that Will goes on the hunt for Hannibal while Jack stay and soon a French policeman talks to both of them. A really conversation as Jack leaves and Bedelia stays.

In the meantime, Verger wants Hannibal and founds out that the detective who was going to catch him is dead. Along with that, Dr. Bloom and Margot make out and hopes that Bloom could help her get a sperm from her brother.

As it draws near, Will and Hannibal walks out and Will is shot by Chiyoh. Hannibal takes will to a place and soon Jack comes in and Hannibal cuts his ankle. Both are tied for what they'll be having for dinner. And before it was going to happen I thought that he was going to cut Jack's skull off but no, it was Will's. But just before Hannibal cuts through Will's skill, we're taken from Italy and into a butcher's cooler and see Verger welcoming them to his place.

Amazing, well-done and so so good. This episode was remarkable with tension and shocking moments especially the ending of this episode which I didn't know what the hell was going on. I thought it was just a dream.

In "Digetivo" The Florentine police breaks into the dinner of Jack, Hannibal and Will and taken Lecter and Graham, who's injured, to Mason Verger's place Muskrat Farm in Maryland.

Just before the police could kill Jack, Chiyoh saves him by shooting them from the roof tops. But Jack is worried about how he will get out of the city without having the police kill him.

Mason has Hannibal and Will for dinner and tells them his plan for them. Eat Lecter piece by piece while keeping him alive and the other is to cut Will's face off.

While Margot talks to Mason, they discuss about child and that he already has a surrogate for her. And I don't want to spoil anything but it's one of the most shocking moments in this episode and bar far the creepiest.

Lecter is rescued by Bloom, who cuts the rope that he's tied to and help rescue Will from Mason. He does it in a beautiful way. Once you think that Will's face is being cut, it's a complete turn around.

At the end, Will and Lecter have one more conversation and Will tells him that he doesn't want to see him anymore. When Jack comes with his troops, Will tells him that he's gone but Lecter comes out and surrenders to Jack. He wants Will to know that he knows where he could find him.

This episode was literally the best one bar far. Love the interaction between Lecter and Mason at the dinner table. The shocking surrogate and most of all the surrendering of Lecter to Jack.

I give "Dolce" a 8/10 rating while "Digetive" gets a 10/10 rating.

You can catch "Hannibal" Saturday nights at 10/9c on NBC

"Trainwreck"

Trainwreck is a sensation hit!

When a Amy, a successful journalist, has fear of commitment because her dad told her as a kid that monogamy isn't real. But when she interviews a highly successful sports doctor, that has nothing wrong about him that she can break it off with him. Amy will have to face whether to her fear of commitment is ruining her or living the good life.

Amy Schumer, who plays Amy, is tremendous in this film that she written and stars in. She's hilarious time one hundred in this film and her chemistry with Bill Hader and the rest of the cast was amazing.

Jon Cena's scenes in the film during the first half hour of the film was hysterical! The scene when Amy and Cena were in bed and she asked him to talk dirty to her but all he says was how to get fit and facts about protein. And after was just and OMG moment.

There were a lot of very funny moments in this film but there was also some heartwarming and sad moments int he film The one that got me was when Amy gives her speech about her dad at her funeral.

This was after she walked out on him after he told her that dating the sports doctor wasn't gonna last. And then there was the scene where she and her sister finally hugged after apologizing for what she had done.

There were so many cameos from Marv Albert to Mathew Broderick, was hilarious and mind blowing.


And I couldn't left out LeBron James. The guy can act and after watching him in this film, I want him to be my best friend. I'm guessing those commercials have really paid off. Space Jam 2? Why not?

All in all, I love and enjoyed this film. I can't remember when I last enjoyed a really good romantic comedy. This by far is on the top of my Rom-Com list.  It's hilarious, lovely and has it's great moments. As this is Schumer's first film, she nails it with perfection.

"Trainwreck" is out now in theaters.

On the Edge: Complications "Diagnosis"

This week's episode of the "Complications" was thrilling and was a non stop edge episode that totally good.

After last week's chaos of dealing with gang fights and trying to let one of them out of the hospital without anyone notice has certainly caused trouble for John. He and Gretchen treats the gang member that he help escape from the hospital. There could have been some trouble with the two but not.

As soon as John gets home from the roughest shift yet, he gets some sleep until he gets a call from Bridget who tells him that he saw him leaving a therapy room and also a bottle of morphine used. Along with the phone call the detective knocks on the door. John hangs up with Bridget and talks to the detective.

Trying to find out what happen, John tries to throw the detective off of him by telling him he has never met these gang members. After he tells him that he never seen anyone of them, the detective takes him back home until he mentions the incident from the pilot but then John did agree he saw him but couldn't think that that was the guy. That took him a trip to the station.

As the detective takes John to a private room, probably deep down in the basement somewhere. The detective starts poking around and John wasn't in the mood to talk. After what would feel like hours, John admitted to where he was in that hour he was missing and had the detective call Bridget to conform,

That did get him off the hook but as for Gretchen, she get into another hot mess. When a patient died last week, she decided to go and check on her brother. Of course, where the kid was was in another area of gang members.

As she tries to find him, she does when a guy that lives next door answers her. He told her that he's been taking care of him. Of course the kid is quiet and doesn't look up and the guy is has his hand on the kid in the creepiest of way possible.

Gretchen takes the kid away from the guy but he drives his truck behind her jeep. But when she decides to drive through, she gets stop by one of the gang leaders. She tells him the truth but the guy tells him another thing, but when the kid finally talked Gretchen takes the kid and goes.

And John leaves but his wife is there wanting to see him. But things do look fine and soon his father tries to get him to tell him what's been going on.

I like this episode. At times I was standing and watching and the rest on the edge of my seat. I really do like Gretchen and John's storyline here. It was worth an hour of television to watch.

You can catch "Complications" Thursday nights at 9/8c on USA Network.

The X-Files 'I Want To Believe' promo

On Thursday, FOX aired a new promo for The X-Files that's coming this January 2016.

Here's the promo.

You can catch the premiere of The X-Files as they return Sunday, January 24, 2016 right after the NFL NFC Championship on FOX.

Family Matters with or without Demons: Wednesday Night Summer Drama

Suits: ""No Puedo Hacerlo" 

When it comes to family, it matters no matter what your position is as a lawyer.

As Lewis gets a visit from his beautiful sister about a legal issue, she asks him to get her Harvey. Of course, Lewis and Harvey aren't in good terms but even though it's unethical he goes and ask Harvey.

Harvey takes the case but didn't realize that he had already met her early that day. Learns that this case is a divorce but also fair share. After the first meeting, Harvey has his client come clean about it and they discuss it.

After talking, they get to the bottom of it and as Harvey realize that this should not be about money at all. This is after he was looking at Donna across the glass window. After his client agreed to the terms, they went out for drinks.

Mike on the other hand, can't let the insurance lawsuit go. As he and his future father-in-law tackle it together. There will be butted heads in this one, no doubt about it. Mike doesn't like the offer and tries his very best to find a loop and get a better deal. There was no way of fixing it but Mike did save his father-in-law from a bad business idea.

The one thing taking away from this episode was that Harvey has accepted that Donna is gone. As soon as he talks with Lewis about the lawsuit agreement and Lewis tells him and his sister. Harvey goes up to Donna and thanked her for 12 great years. He finally accepted it and walks away. Heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.

This episode was intriguing and very good. The fight between Mike and Rachel's father was really good, plus seeing Lewis' sister was completely surprising.

Overall I give this episode to 8/10.

You can catch "Suits" Wednesday nights at 9/8c on USA

Mr. Robot: "eps1.2d3bug.mtv"

In one of it's most bazaar episodes yet, demons do follow you no matter if you're good or not.

As the project to take down Evil Corp's company, Elliot has this idea on how to go in without killing anyone and blowing it up. But there's one issue, he's a bit high and need more of his morphine for help. His now addiction has got the best of him and held the plan for another day pissing off some of the other guys.

As Mr. Robot tries to get him off the drug, Elliot  goes through some crazy stuff from thinking that he's getting high, getting shot and even trying to show his monster side. He's demons got the best of him and after a good while of the episode of him going through a lot of hallucination.

Meanwhile Angela and Shayla spend some time with one another, walking Elliot's dog and even going out and party. Hell, Shayla gives Angela a little something and had a real moment. I was amazed by how those two were in this episode. Both important women of Elliot's are having spending time.

Elliot does get over the rough stuff and there was a moment when he was alone that he was scared. But Mr. Robot comes out of the shadows and tells him that he's not alone. One of the guys mix a drink for Elliot that he has to drink more than seven of them.

As I said before, this episode was bazaar but it was well crafted a well. Even if there was sliver lining out there, the lining might not be all that pleasant as demons from past or present does creep back up to you.

Overall, I give this episode 9/10. If was so well done.

You can catch ?Mr. Robot" Wednesday nights at 10/9c on USA Network

The Unexpected of the Unexpected: Stitchers "The Root of All Evil"

The unexpected was clearly unexpected in this week's episode of "Stitchers."

Probably one of the most shocking moments in this episode (I should say two) was that we get to learn that Kristen has a boyfriend. They have this long distance relationship and everyone from Camille to Maggie was in shock.

I will say this that Scagilotti's performance in this was hilarious. She's amazing at what she does to make a scene humorist. When she's first introduce to the guy, she goes gaga all over and throughout the episode still does and has some fun with Kristen.

For the case of the week, a Jane Doe is found and as Kristen looks into her memory to find out who she is and who killed her. Just remember that the first time they stitch is not always the best. Kristen thought the girl was rich but than sees she lives in a rented apartment.

Mistakenly taken that she lived in the mansion, they interviewed the couple that live in the house. The husband gives a sense that he might have been the guy, but another surprise comes.

I should say that the scene between Kristen's boyfriend and Cameron was little funny. I don't think that Cameron should feel bad about himself after seeing the guy's ab's.

Okay I mention that there might have been one or two but now it's three. There was three surprises that was unexpected in this episode the other is a marriage proposal.

Not to forget that when Camille told Maggie and all them about Kristen's boyfriend, Maggie had her snoop into the guy. Of course she calls the mysterious guy to look into it because, in a photo with Kristen's boyfriend.

There were surprises and some good humor in this episode. I'm learning a little bit of Kirsten and boy was I surprised with her boyfriend coming in.  Scagilotti, I think stole the episode with her comic humor.

All in all, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch "Stitchers" Tuesday night at 9/8c on ABC Family.

Aquarius and Hannibal Moving to Saturdays

Today as it was first reported by Wall Street Journal media reporter, Joe Flint, on twitter that the NBC Thursday series "Aquarius" and "Hannibal" are moving to Saturdays. TVLine.com has confirmed the report.

Since Hannibal was recently cancelled, it makes sense to burn off the rest of the episodes has it did with "Smash." But it doesn't quite make any with "Aquarius" as it was picked up for a second season.

Flint also reported that the reason for the changes is that the "appease (NBC) affiliates not happy with their numbers."

When "Aquarius" premiered in May, it averaged 5.7 million in total with a 1.0 rating. By it's most recent July 3rd episode, the numbers had sink to 2.4 million/0.4.

"Dateline Thursday Mysteries" will take over the 9/11pm time slot that was once held by Aquarius and Hannibal stating this Thursday. With "Aquarius" airing Saturdays a 9/8c then followed by "Hannibal" at 10/9c.

Sherlock's Special teaser

Just last week, a teaser was released for the upcoming Christmas special of Sherlock. From the looks of it, it will take place at the time when Sherlock once lived back in Victorian times. This would be a great special, taking Holmes and Watson.


Hell, I get a kick out of watching Miss. Hudson and Watson arguing about the stories that he's written. That he had to grow a mustache so people can recognize him. Yeah John, the only way people will recognize you is by your mustache.

Here's the teaser.

The Special will be it's own thing and won't be part of the fourth series. I don't know if this will air on Christmas on PBS. It would be awkward if it did with Sherlock and Doctor Who airing at the same time. But it would be great to have them air in one night back to back with each other too.

Reduce Episodes of TV Series isn't that Bad.

I love television, period. I love tuning in each week to one of my favorite shows from Chicago Fire to The Big Bang Theory  and etc. I'm use to the standard 22 to 24 regular episodes of comedies and dramas but in recent years with cable networks and online streaming that reducing episodes may seem a really great idea.

I've been watching television since I could remember and I'm 26 years old so you do the math. I believe that in recent times that a full 22-24 episode season is still great. But now with a full season like that it does get a bit tiresome just tuning in week after week and yeah there are times when a rerun will come on, but that's what full seasons bring.

Now a days, with cable and online streaming, a series can go from 10 to 13 episodes. If you take a show like "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," "Breaking Bad," & "Game of Thrones" those shows tell great stories in one good season. And the best part is that after the season is over, it leaves you wanting more. Isn't that what television is all about, leaving you wanting more.

If you take a look at the final seasons of "30 Rock,"  "Parenthood" and "Parks and Recreations" there is no doubt that their final seasons were their best season by far. A short season focus on the characters and the stories that they are focusing on.

Hell, we're living now in reboot/revile era now with former shows returning from "24," "Heroes: Reborn," "The X-Files" and even "Coach.' It's a great idea and probably there will be more reboots down the road from maybe "Veronica Mars" and "Will & Grace"? I know there's been word about a "Law & Order" coming back as well with a short season.

There could be episodes that are amazing and awesome but there could be episodes that seems like a downer and doesn't wow us at all.

All I'm saying that is I think a short 13 episode season for a series isn't that bad at all. The series runs it's 13 episode course and than there might be another series that gets your attention. I could use the free time away from the television screen once in a while.

The Hunt is On: Heroes Reborn: Official Trailer

The official trailer of "Heroes: Reborn" was shown at this weekend's Comic Con and all I have to say is, the hunt is on for our Heroes to return.

Zachary Levi looks totally bad ass, but how bad ass is when Noah shows up. When Noah gets his glasses goosebumps started. The trailer looks amazing and I'm literally can't wait for the premiere to start.

Here's the official trailer.

The "Heroes: Reborn" premieres Thursday, September 24th at 8/7c on NBC

"Elvis"

I find this poem along with other papers from high school that my grandmother wrote. I came upon this when my mother and I were cleaning up her room so when she comes back from the nursing home that there's plenty of room for her. Apparently this poem was found inside a folder with other papers and I thought I share this, since it was good and Elvis Presley is still "The King of Rock n' Roll."

"Elvis"

Elvis Presley is a name

if he ever left me

I’d love him just the same

His singing puts me on cloud nine

and I just wish he was all mine

There will never be another,

to take his place

he’s the most perfect man,

in this whole human race

his voice puts me in a trance

wow I sure like to see him dance

I’ll love him forever

Even if he goes down

please don’t get married

I want you around.

Doctor Who Season 9 Trailer

On Thursday, the first trailer for the new season of "Doctor Who" was released and it looks totally awesome!!!!

Clara is back, thank the time lords!!! Misty is back! And of course new adventures awaits that I can hardly wait.

I love who The Doctor says how he hates all evil but wants to kiss it to death. Yeah, that sounds like the Doctor all right.

Here's the trailer.

The season premiere of "Doctor Who" begins September 19th on BBC America.

"Chicago"

I was never much into musicals until I've seen them while watching comedy sketches. For the hit musical "Chicago" it never made sense to me at the time, even when I saw it on television or VHS. But when I saw it again years later,  I really enjoyed it and understood as well.

The theme to the musical film "Chicago" shown many different themes and yet it all takes place in the city of Chicago. One of the themes I think that's in this story is criminalize. We see how Roxie shoots a guy just to get in bed with and thinking that she was going to finally be ready to make as a show star even though she wasn't the only girl who did that kind of thing, as we see a whole line jail cell of women who did about the same thing.

Another is frame, there's another word for it....ambition perhaps. When Richard Gere's character tries to support the women that caused a rally interesting crime to him that he could sink his teeth into and get the press.

I think that if I was going to talk about the set up the stage for the show, I would want it to be in a proscenium stage. I think that with a stage like this it gives a better way for the audience to see and the cast to change each scene as the show goes on. I think that maybe the good way of having this kind of stage is for the actors to get in and get out and that the audience can see the faces of the actors.

I think that maybe some of the disadvengates is that the stage might be a little higher for the audience that are seating in the front row and that for those who are seating all the way in the e back they might not see very well on what's going on in the story.

Queen Latifith, I think, gave a really good performance in the film. I thought that her physical and vocal choices were something that she has had and that this role for her as Mama was perfect for her. In the scene when she was introduced as Roxie was in her jail cell or the first night that I thought she really took off.

Her character made sense in a way for a name like "Mama" I think would make a perfect sense that she shows her affection for those girls that want to get some attention, a big of a hustle and flow kind of thing. And I thought that her performance singing "When You're a Good Mama" was amazing. Her voice really stood out in that scene. Also not to mention that for her character to show feelings in her performance in that number was believable and that it was her voice that really got me saying "wow!"

Give it to Richard Gere, who I thought was outstanding in his role as Billy Flynn the lawyer. I really couldn't tell if he had emotions for his character. It seemed fake just for the glamour and press he likes to eat up when taking the hot new criminal case. I thought that he had a really good comedic style, talked fast and snag.

His performance singing in the film was good. I really didn't know that he could sing, but maybe that is all ethical stuff that helped him out, who knows? I really enjoyed his number" Movie Doll" and when he tap danced during that scene when he was thinking of a way to get out when Velma revealed Roxie's diary in court. His dancing was really good and to add that Gere seem to retained his character after we first see him in the film.

Overall I thought the film version of "Chicago" was very good. There were some parts that I didn't quite like and some that I did enjoy. I like musicals and this one goes to the top of my list. I could see why it won Best Picture" at the Oscars that following year.

Listening to the Lies and Cheaters for the Unbelievable Turn: Weekend Catch Up Part 5

Another week has past and so has these shows. If you missed them here's a recap of this past week's shows.

Royal Pains: "Voices Carry"

In this week's episode, Hank takes a trip to New York with Olympia, but their date doesn't go to plan. As Olympia has a League of Nations with the health summit.

When Hank meets one of the doctors from another country, he sees his assistant in trouble and helps her.

It gets weird when that same assistant, starts having a stroke during the meeting.  Hank figures it out that the cause of the stroke was that of her boss's voice.

Meanwhile, Evan finds a secret that Boris has been keeping. This is after Evan feels left out of doing the work that he is suppose to do.

Dyvia in the meantime, is dealing with three men on her own and finally gets the divorce settled but who does she want to be with?

For one thing the medical situation in this episode was great. Vanessa Williams was excellent as Olympia and both her character and Hank hit it off quite well.

Overall I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch "Royal Pains" Tuesday nights at 10/9c on USA Network.

Stitchers: "Stitchers in the Rye"

When an former agent who runs a food truck business that was murdered, Kristen and the team found out who killed him in this very interesting episode of "Stitchers."

As the team investigates the murder of a former CIA agent, Kristen searches for what the victim did and what searches did he hide. When she sees where he kept his secret government files, the team rushes down there to retrieve it. But as Kristen takes on file, the truck was in self destruct mode and blew up.

That only left with a file that can only be used in an old Apple computer to say. Kristen remembers her past with Ed when he had a bunch of computers in the garage. She finds one and finds out that the victim had the files on the stitchers program. Talk about weird, right?

But as this goes on, weird events start to unfold, like Kristen receiving a book "The Catcher and the Rye," and receiving strange spam text messages. That would all piece together as Marta was luring Kristen and trying to take her away from the program.

This episode was probably one of it's best. There's a lot of tension between Kristen and Maggie right now and at the end you kind want to just kick Maggie's behind after talking to a mysterious person in the garage.

All in all, I give this episode a 7/10. If you are a fan of "Catcher and the Rye" you might be liking this episode as there was a theme to it.

You can catch "Stitchers" Tuesday nights at 9/8c on ABC Family.

Suits: "Compensation" 

Hell in High Water comes in the Harvey-Donna-Lewis triangle.

When Lewis tries to make things right with Harvey, he does it by standing up to Harvey when Jack proposes of the new pay structure that will have Lewis making more than Harvey. Of course, that back fires and Lewis goes out and shares Harvey's last pay statements. And after all that, things just gets heated up more and more.

Meanwhile, Rachel has dinner with her father. But during hat dinner her father gives her a prenup. This turns heads between both of them and when Mike finds out, he deals with the situation head on  face to face. Does Rachel love Mike with all her heart? Do you think that this relationship will last forever?

"Compensation" was a very intense episode. There were a lot of humorist moments. One of which, Harvey interviewing clients for Donna's replacement. Another is hearing Lewis yelling about his turf toe.

All in all, I give this episode a 8/10. The icing on the cake about this episode is that the new of the series getting picked up for a sixth season.

You can catch "Suits" Wednesday nights at 9/8c on USA.

Mr. Robot: "Eps1.1ones-andzer0es.mpeg" 

War soon to start!

In this episode, Elliot gets torn between a job offer from Evil Corp and joining fsociety  But he needs to make a decision on whether or not that his decision will to help will harm the people around him.

Watching Elliot and Shayla, I find interesting that even though she gives him the drugs, there could be something between them.

By the way, what is the difference between Blue Cross and Blue Shield? He makes a great argument of that with his therapist.

And someone's watching from the inside of Angela's place.

This episode was by far amazing. I can't get enough of this episode that I want to see more and more after it ends. Rami Malek is certainly going to get nomination for his role in this series, from Golden Globes to possibly Emmy.

You can catch "Mr. Robot" Wednesday nights at 10/9c on USA Network.

Aquarius: "A Whiter Shade of Pale" & "Cease to Resist" 

In this two episodes,, Manson recovers from a beat down from Hodiak. While Hodiak helps Shafe figure out who is tormenting his family in their neighborhood. As for the second episode Hodiak investigates a celebrity's murder.  While Emma and Sadie meet up with someone special from Manson's past.

These two episodes were good and somewhat interesting. There's been to much arguing from Hodiak and his two ladies his ex and his on and off girlfriend.

This series with each episode gets amazing and amazing every week. And I do watch it week after week. Even though I do DVR it.

You can catch "Aquarius" Thursday nights at 9/8c on NBC.

Hannibal: "Contorno" 

The offer of riches from Mason threatens to put Inspector Pazzi off his quest for redemption. Meanwhile Will and Chiyoh travels to Florence in search of Hannibal and of course Bloom is worried for everyone's safety.

A former girlfriend/friend Chiyoh describes to Will about how she met with Hannibal. She might have a code of not killing but it doesn't bother her.

Jake moves on after his wife's death as he dumps her ashes in the river and throws his wedding ring too.

Hell all I want to talk about is that amazing fight scene with Hannibal and Jack. Holy crap!!! Jack beats the crap out of Hannibal but in the end, Hannibal won when he was pushed off the edge of the window and landed on his feet walking away.

Now things start to get crazy!!!!

Overall, I give the episode a 10/10.

It's another tense episode that's filled with on the edge drama.

Overall I give it a 8/10.

Graceland: "Chester Cheeto"

This week's episode of "Graceland" Briggs tries to keep things under control with Ari Adamian. It does seem to go well at all.

And in a game changer, Charlie struggles with the decision to terminate her pregnancy.

It's a good episode. It's not how the previous one was but it's close to being an average episode with some moments that's fills you up.

All in all, I give this episode a 6/10.

You can catch "Graceland" Thursday nights at 10/9c on USA Network.

Clipped: "Go Below" 

In this week's episode of "Clipped" Danni suspects that AJ is seeing Charmaine as they take a Spanish class together and in the meantime, Ben has a one night stand with a neighbor.

When Ben feels all alone after the gang leaves to do other stuff. Ben feels left out and drinks his beer, when one of the sisters next door was duping cat poop out the window. As they argued, they decided drink together and there's the phrase "Go Below" comes into play.

As for Danni, when she learns that AJ and Charmaine are taking a Spanish class together. She deals with unfinished business with him. But when AJ  got the hint about how Charmaine's hands are amazing, he checks her out while they are studying and eating Chinese food.

Charmaine does to Danni and tells her that she needs to confront the issue that she's been dealing with. Danni goes to AJ's apartment and tries to be cool with it but the tension couldn't be bare and she went at him and also had a one night stand.

Funny, dirty and some awkward moments in this episode.  Love how they use the phrase "Go Below" as a meaningful term and probably will be used.

Overall I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch "Clipped" Tuesday nights at 10/9c on TBS
