They're Back and Pitcher Than Ever: Pitch Perfect 2

Well, they'r back and pitcher than ever. The Bellas are back in this amazing new sequel in Pitch Perfect 2. 

After winning three national championships, the Bellas performed at the Kennedy Center, until a wardrobe malfunction happen when Fat Amy was performing to "Wrecking Ball." It turned into a massive aca-scandal for the Bellas. 

Facing suspension for their incident, they were taken out of their world tour and that they couldn't recruit anyone. This put a real damper with Chloe, but they find away to redeem themselves, by going to the World Championships and winning it. 

Meanwhile Beca gets a call for an internship at a local record company, with so excitement she tries to keep it under wraps with the rest of the Bellas. In somewhat it turns out to be a complete drag but heck that's all internships. 

With the Bellas trying to get back on top, a new student wants to come in and be part of the team. The new member Emily is dying to be a Bellas ever since her mother tells her how exciting it was when she was one. 

As soon as Emily's a member of the group, they took a looked at the team that took their spot in the World Tour, a team from Germany named Das Sound Machine. As each group got to meet, they insult each other but only Beca can't do any insult but more of making complements. 

With what Das Sound Machine could do, lip sync to dub sounds, it kind of gave the Bellas the idea that they need to step it up and do what Das are doing. That doesn't turn out to go the way they hoped. When they tried it in front of a group it wasn't pretty at all. 

To redeem themselves from another disaster, Chloe got everyone to go to camp where a familiar face awaits them to help get back to what the Bellas do best. 

After getting back their charm, Beca and the gang had an idea for a performance that will knock out the Machines. They performed a huge hit from Beyonce "Run the World" but also performed the song "Flashlight" that was one of the most beautiful songs in the movie.   

Overall, I thought Pitch Perfect 2 was an amazingly hilarious film. There was so many one liner jokes, pop culture and even cultural jokes. Not only did Rebel Wilson, Anna Kendrick and Brittney Snow stole the film, Hana Mae Lee, John Michael Higgins and Elizabeth Banks stole a lot too.  And I can't forget to mention how Hallie Steinfeld really brought something to the film and to the group.

I couldn't get enough of the Riff Offs in this movie. Seeing the Green Bay Packers was just mind-blowing of what they brought and how they brought it in the film. And the music, they sang some amazing songs from "We Belong," "My Lovin'," "Shake Your Booty," and "Before He Cheats." 

There were scenes that I couldn't get weepy eyed at like when the group was out on a campfire and they the group sings "Cups" to Beca. That was just heartwarming and also their World Championship performance too. Also but I really do love the song "Flashlight." It's such a great song. The next "Cups" song.

All in all, it's two hours of fun, laughter and their are some emotional scenes in the film as well. It's two hours of non-stop aca-fun. 

Pitch Perfect 2 is in theaters now!!

The Change in the Game: The Blacklist "Masha Rostova" Season

Holy crap! That's what came to my mind after watching the season finale of The Blacklist. After what we've been through this season, it's a totally game changing next season. But first let's take a recap what happen here.

Liz is wanted for the what is murder of the senator that was infected with the virus that she carried that the Cabal set up. With that going on, Red tells her that she needs to leave the Post Office but she wouldn't do it until she over heard Cooper and Connolly arguing about Liz and all of this mess they're in.

Just as Lix overheard she started t leave but by the time she gets to the the floor, she's caught by Connolly and the FBI. Liz is being questioned and is taken a blood test to see if she's psotivie for the virus. They ask her questions about her life like where she was born and her real name.

Liz's real name is Masha Rostova and she was born in Russia. They keep pushing her to give them the right answers. In the meantime, Cooper who was leave of his duties of the taskforce because he wouldn't do what Connolly ordered him to do, talks to Red about Liz and all of what happen.

Of course, Red always has a back up plan when it comes to getting someone out of this kind of mess. The power was off for 45 seconds which gave Liz plenty of time to get out quick. With the help of Cooper of getting out, she runs into Ressler who stands there and talks her down but lets her go.

Liz meets with Red and Cooper and discuss of what to do next. Tom calls and talks to Red about what he could do: take Liz and runaway on his boat. Of course Red doesn't think that's a good idea and doesn't require his service anymore. But Liz would anyway.

Liz and Cooper looking up footage at the Union Station where Liz got knocked down by the bio-scientist who transferred the virus into Liz. She get there and sees the guy there and we flashback of how it happen.

After seeing the footage, Cooper tells Liz that his wife is being indited for sharing classified documents. So Liz was on her own, not! She went to Tom at his boathouse and the two investigated an apartment where the scientist was staying at. When they got there, there was a laptop with a flash drive that Liz too.

But the guy was running away. Tom and Liz chase him til he was stop by two guys that clearly shot and killed him. Liz was upset. This hasn't been her day at all and with  everything that has been going down,

As Tom cleans Liz up, they start talking. Liz has regrets not saying yes to him. And one shocking moment came when we see them making out. But it was a great scene that went back and forth which was really good. It cut the time of talk and love down a full good scene.

After that night, Liz wakes up wand finds the flash drive in her shirt. She uploads it on the laptop and finds documents that say that Harold Cooper wasn't really sick. Boy did that give Cooper one hell of a scene to show his temper. HE went full Thor on that guy.

In the meantime, Red sets up this one time meeting, he had his men pick up the best investigative journalist around the country/world. He shows the files of the fulcrum and explains of it and the outcome of having the knowledge.

Cooper and Liz met with Connolly, who is a member of the Cabal, and try to threat him with everything they have on him but the guy wouldn't budge at all. He even threats that everyone will be in trouble by sending Samar back to Iran, and Ressler losing his job of his drug addiction. So Connolly called out their buff.

But Liz with a last attempt pulls her gun and points it at him. Cooper talks her down but it didn't do any good. Liz shot and killed Connolly. Now Liz Keen is wanted fugitive. By the way, Tom Connolly is on the blacklist at No. 11 so just to inform you all about that. There was a blacklister that has been taken down.

But then, as Liz shot Connolly, she had a flashback. It was that of the night of the fire. She calls Red and he meets with her at a location. Red calls for the Traveler and as Dembe drops him off with Liz. She tells him that she remembers it all. That she killed her father after seeing him and her mother fighting. So that probably gives in that Red isn't Liz's father. But I think there's a catch. We can't assume just yet.


Red, who looked sad, tells her that he failed to protect her from that. He mention that he's the sin-eater, which eats the sins off of others so they can be good. But in the final scene where Rocket Man was playing, Liz and Red get in a van and take off to wherever they are going. They are now on the run.

The Director got a surprised when he saw the newspaper of their investigation of a secret government.

And just before the scene cuts out, we see Ressler picking up a photo and walks past the crew. He places the photo of Liz on the board , noting that she is now the most wanted person in the country. Li also got her face on the FBI most wanted board in the FBI office.

And then we see Liz lay her head on Red and just watch them looking on.

This episode was simply amazing. It picked up from where we left off and it never stop going until near the end. There were times that I had to hold my breathe.

There were so many good scenes, Cooper's temper at the doctor, Liz escaping from the Post Office. But it was that near to last scene when Liz told Red that she remembers, when she tells him about it and the look on Red's face was just so sad and yet emotional too.

The song choice at the end was perfect. It was enough to give us a taste of what's to come. This was a game changer now. Red isn't the most wanted anymore, it's Liz. Now whatever will happen next season should be excited to see.

I give this episode a 10/10. It was simply incredible. Megan Boone was just phenomenal in this episode. It's one of her best performance this season.

Overall this season, it started off strong and it ended strong. This season so far was at it's best. The writing, the characters and production couldn't have been any better. I literally can't wait for season three to start. I'm dying to know what the trailer would be.

The Blacklist will return in fall.

What's your thoughts? Did you like how the story changed? Looking forward to season three? 

The Shocked and Stunned: Wednesday Night Drama

The Mysteries of Laura: "The Mystery of the Deceased Documentarian"

This episode went from solving a cold case to one of the most shocking endings in it's series so far and it leads to what I think will be a great and thank god a season finale.

When a bike messenger was looks to be delivering something get shots. Laura and the gang investigates that this murder isn't just about a message.

As the investigation goes, the victim turns out to be a filmmaker who was solving a crime that had happen 15 years ago. The victim made a film and sent it to a film festival but was rejected. Laura and Jake got to show a screening of it to the public and interviewed the folks who were there, that included the cold case victim's boyfriend.

But as their investigation goes on, there's someone who's also trying to solve the crime too. Casey, who's went to the same high school and is a podcast crime investigator, that's like Serial.

When you think that they found the killer who be the guy who hung himself in the flower shop, but as Laura would think it that if there's no note, it's not a suicide.

Laura and the gang dig deeper and that lead to going to the film festival that was going on in New York City and get the original copy of the bike messenger's movie. When looking at the final two minutes of it, Laura knows who the killer is.

That lead to the suspect's wife to come down and file paperwork to claim the earrings that apparently were left in the victim at the flower shop. Until Frankie gave the wife the wrong forms and she started to call her husband but didn't answer.

The suspect was at Casey's house being interviewed on her live podcast. When Laura made a phone, she talks to them and well, Casey did what Casey would do, spill out that he did it. The suspect gets mad but as Laura talks him down that his ex-girlfriend had cheated on him.

The suspect was taken down as Billy and Frankie got there. But it would be Casey that probably needed the protection from Laura.

Near the end of the episode, Laura and Jake have a moment. Laura is buying a summer house for the kids and her boyfriend. Jake doesn't feel like he'll be part of their kids lives after this but Laura tells him that he will always be. That lead to Jake going to the bar and joining him was Frankie. They talk about their plans and that freaky lamp that she brought in and sold.

But the shocking moment came when Jake went to a grocery store. He's looking for some zingers and when all of the sudden a robber comes in and demanded money. Jake gets ready to take the suspect down when a lady comes in and scared. The suspect points the gun and Jake takes the bullet for her and the suspect leaves.

Jake is on the floor shot in the chest. That was the most shocking and dramatic moment in the series so far and I think that come next week's season finale that it will be even more dramatic and a bit emotional as well.

I have to say I didn't see that ending coming at all. Yeah I'm feeling bad for Jake after that talk with Laura. He hopes that they would get back together and be together forever.

This episode had some funny moments. I enjoyed Melissa Joan Hart being the "Serial" character in this episode. It was so cool seeing Clarissa on the show.

I give this episode a 8/10. I think that this was pretty good episode. The one thing I literally take out of this episode was the shocking ending. and I'll just say this that thank god that next week is the season finale and not the series finale.

You can catch the season finale of The Mysteries of Laura next Wednesday at 8/7c on NBC.

Chicago PD: "Push the Pain Away"

After the aftermath of the death of Nadia, Erin isn't doing well to coup the lost. She went to see her mother, at a local bar where she works and drinks away.

I think I would know for a fact that Voight told Bunny to stay away from Erin. Can't stop a mother for loving and caring for her daughter.

In the meantime, a case for the intelligence takes on a group of guys who want nothing but justice for what this chemical company had done to one of the suspect's little girl.

These gone in a YMCA and goes on a rampage but not like you would think. They planned it and shot only less than seven people.

Voight and Al talk to one of the suspects that was caught. Voight talks to him but doesn't budge at all. So, when Atwater and Roman takes a look underneath the highway, they spot a bullet case and soon sees a camera.

When they play back the video, the suspects had taken off in a garbage truck not even five minutes ago. Atwater ran towards and demanded an officer's car. Roman and Atwater chase the truck and it stops in a building. They hold fire until everyone gets there.

Voight talks to Erin after a quick brief with the Captain on the back story of these suspects. Voight doesn't want Erin to spin out. This is after Erin was dragging from a hangover.

Erin and Ruzek interviews the company executive and his lawyer. After dodging the question of why these guys would be going after these people. Erin goes off and the executives decline to talk any more.

Later on, Voight talks with the suspects, they have hostages and demanded things that they want in 30 minutes. Voight tells them the truth that they can't get it in that amount of time. The suspect tells Voight that he'll take out a hostage if their demands aren't meant. When Voight got a feeling after that conversation, he goes out there without a bulletproof vest and his gun and walks out there.

He talks to them Voight to Suspect, as Voight does best. He ask to see the hostages so he knows that they're safe. They show him one and takes them back. Then Voight starts talking and with an earpiece, Erin tells him the story of these guys.

Voight talks to one of them and walks a bit back near the open, which gave Halstead a clear shot to shoot the suspect. And after that Voight takes the other one down after the guy gave him a couple of hits.

But with these guys caught there's still one more that's out there. And it's a younger suspect that they're after. Burgess found out that she cleared the suspect because he didn't have gun residue on him. They got the idea of who the suspect is going after.

They get to the executive's board meeting where they search the place for the suspect. Erin goes by herself into through the kitchen and in the halls until the suspect puts a gun on her head. Erin talks to him and from what I got I think she took it behind too far when she tells him to shoot her. Bold but smart because the suspect wouldn't do it.

After that Erin just left and we see her talking with her mother again at the bar. As Bunny gives Erin her drink, she starts talking about an old boyfriend that she use to go out with long ago. Well, that turned out to be bad news as they went to his apartment and well, let's just say that there were drugs on the table.

Erin has really gone to the dark side. She blames herself for Nadia's death. We'll get a bit more next week of where she's going and what she's probably going to do. She might rethink her career. Who knows?

Overall I enjoyed this episode. I was at time on the edge of my seat. There were some tense moments in this episode. For one, Erin and telling that guy to shoot her. The way she was telling him I had no idea if she was playing him or telling him to do it.

It felt kind of weird seeing that Burgess and Atwater switch spots this week. Burgess hopes that she stays with the team but soon Atwater will be cleared from his accident last week and will be back with Intelligence and Burgess back with Roman.

Overall I give this episode a 8/10. IT was very good.

Next week is the season finale of Chicago PD. It's one finale that we can't miss at all. Along with Mysteries of Laura and Law & Order SVU, it's literally called Season Finale Wednesday.

You can catch the season finale of Chicago PD next Wednesday at 10/9c on NBC.

Look I'ts Supergirl!!!

Checkout the trailer for Supergirl that will come to CBS on Monday nights this November.

I'm very much liking it so far. I can't wait to see where this story will be going. Calista Flockhart looks amazing and totally badass as Cat Grant, Kara's boss.


Melissa Benoist looks very cool and interesting as Kara Zor-El. She looks a bit like Barbara Gordon, which I hope those two meet later on if this series goes far.

Jimmy Olsen is in this series as well. And is best friends with Superman that he gives Kara the blanket that came with him when he was a baby in that space shuttle, which will turn into Supergirl's cape.

I'm looking forward to this series. This will be on the same time as Gotham that's on FOX but the difference is that at least we get to see the superhero. As I said before I can't wait to see where this series will go. What villains will she face and issues that will follow.

This show will be on my list to watch this fall and probably on my DVR.

Supergirl debut on Monday nights this fall to CBS.

UPDATE: CBS has announced that the series premiere will air Monday, Oct. 26 at 8:30/7:30c right after an episode of "Big Bang Theory" and then will move to it's regular time Monday, Nov. 2nd at 8/7c.

Realizing and Wondering: Chicago Fire "Spartacus" Season Finale

In the season finale of Chicago Fire, there are twists and turns, a few surprises, and a cliffhanger with us asking one question. Let's take a look.

Since Rice had come to House 5,1, there has been tension between Truck and Squad; Otis thinks that Rice has been ducking during scenes, and Sevride doesn't like him since Rice is one of his best long-time friends. 

During a call about gas leaking in the house, Squad goes in when the place is unreliable and could explode. They go in, and Otis also goes in and turns off the gas. Severide gets in and out quickly. The elderly lady who lives there and her dog are also there. 

After, Boden was not too pleased with what happened. Things get a bit intense between Squad and Truck, and as they return to the house, Otis decides to sit at Squad's table. 

That pissed off Severide and the Squad, but they left to get gas for the truck. Casey wasn't too pleased with what the rest were doing. But they were taking a stand. Cruz seemed to be and didn't join until Otis told him to sit with them. 

Meanwhile, Casey talks with Boden, along with Antonio and Voight Ab, outgoing undercover, to bring down Jack and his prostitute trafficking. This is after their first attempt, which went well. Boden allowed it and shook hands with each other. But not watching out; someone was watching them from a distance, Jack. 

Casey goes back to the club and talks to Jack. He doesn't seem pleased at all. They talk, and Jack wants to know if he's been talking with PD about anything. After Casey gives him his world, he doesn't enjoy it. They shake hands, and Jack tells Casey to come back tomorrow. But as Katia was going to walk Casey out, Jack wanted to speak with her.

Chillie and Herrmann's product has finally been made. Chilies Champagne was a hit at the house, giving Herrmann an idea of who to sponsor it. Scottie P...n. This might be Scottie's second appearance on a Chicago-based TV series since ER during season two. 

After a heated talk with Casey, Severide discovers that Rice had lied about the hihasroken mask. Kelly conf confronts Rice with Boden. Rick explains that he's scared of losing, which might be okay but isn't. So Rice is gone, and a surprise announcement comes that Cruz is now a member of Squad. Shocking, right? Wait, there's more.

After a call about a warehouse fire, everyone is on deck. Otis is now the driver for Truck 81. Two firefighters and two workers are trapped. When Dawson goes in, one is out the window; she doesn't escape.

She dragged the other victim, but soon, she would be out of oxygen. Boden boldly moves to go back in there and save not just Dawson but Severi, who was there to save Dawson. Then Severide's oxygen ran out. Trying to stay alive, they take slips from the water hose, but soon, the fire chief decides to shut down the hose and hose the building.  

Cruz makes a bold stand, so he threatens what he does. He does, but Boden gets to Dawson and Severide on time and gets out safe. 

Asafelye'se team returned to the house, and the Fire Captain awaited the firefighter who threatened a chief. Cruz admitted, but then Otis followed by everyone else. It was a real Spartacus moment. 

After that t, there was a party at Molly's. Everyone was celebrating until Chile and Herrmann saw the commercial for their product, which wasn't good. Someone else stole her idea. But Herrmann calmed her down and encouraged her not to give up. This might be a good case for Chicago Law to come in. 

As the party continued, Dawson, who hadn't been feeling well, didn't like the smell of pickles. But she realized, and we all learned, something was up. She goes back home and takes a pregnancy test. When she sees the results, he runs to Casey's place, where the door opens. She goes in and sees that everything is dark; there seems to be a fight with a lamp on the floor, and he sinks running water.

But she soon finds Katia on the field. The shocking part is, Where is Casey? That's the question we want to know. This isn't suitable for Dawsey right now.

,tion: Brett and Roman hook up after she had an intense event during that warehouse fire. 

Overall, this was one of the best season finales. At least no one went into a building, and it exploded. We don't have to worry about everyone but just one, Casey. There were excellent tied ends to some storylines; more interesting ones will come when the new season starts. I give this episode 9/10. 

As for the overall season, this was their best season. The writing was superb, hitting every note a television show could hit. We started with an emotional death to trying to move on; relationships take a tumble, one decides to leave, and a shocker in one connection. This was a perfect 10/10.

I know that show fans are happier that the new season starts in November. I know it's a long wait, but the waiting makes it better—more hype. Heck, start talking about the show throughout the summer to get folks time to explore the exhibition. 

You can catch the new season of Chicago Fire in November. 

Avengers Age of Ultron

If there's one word to describe the Avengers: Age of Ultron it would have to be INCREDIBLE!!! This second Avengers movie comes on strong and leaves me wanting more. I literally didn't want it to end.


First off there should now be a massive fan base for James Spader. The guy was amazingly awesome as Ultron. I loved every freakin scene that Ultron was in and yet I didn't want him to die. I felt bad for the character.

We each got to see each Avenger's back story, mostly Black Widow, which is one of two of my favorite Avengers characters along with Captain America. This is just me but I think that Cap and Widow would make a good couple. It was just what I've seen and feel after Winter Solider.

The best scene of the whole movie was when the Hulk went bonkers and Iron Man had to calm him down. Putting on the Hulkbuster, it turned out to be a real rumble in the jungle. Loved when Iron Man kept punching Hulk many times and saying "go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep."


And then as he picked him up and begin to fly out, Hulk deferred to a hotel building. After saving the folks in the elevator, Iron Man uses the elevator and hits the Hulk and then punches him in the face. And the look that he gave Iron Man and spit a tooth out. Iron Man quietly says "I'm sorry." The best reaction of the film.

Even before seeing the movie, I learned the Quicksilver was going to die. But if I didn't know about that I would assume that Hawkeye would die because we saw his family and that this was going to be his last time in battle. Usually that's a give away.

Also I can't leave out the first scene of the movie, the fight sequence. Oh my god!! That was totally freaking amazing. I've never seen anything like it, maybe on a animated movie or so but not like this. LOVED IT!!

Overall, I love the film a lot. I even saw it a second time with m brother and we couldn't stop talking about it. He's much of a Marvel fan than I am as I'm between both Marvel and DC Comics type of guy.

I can't wait for Captain America: Civil War. My brother think it's going to be amazing and hopes to see Spiderman in it. I can't wait either.

I thought it was a great movie. I give it a 9/10. I really couldn't find any issue with the movie at all. I think that this might be the best Avengers out of the first one. As I said before I can't wait to see the next movie.

The Unexpected Turn: The Blacklist "Karakurt"

It's one of the most unexpected twist so far this season and yet next week is the season finale. When Liz and the FBI are hunting for man known as Karakurt who plots to use a dead virus, the hunt could be someone in the FBI.

This blacklister is probably one of it's deadest so far. Karakurt is on a mission to take down a senator by using a deadly made virus that will only take on one person. But when Liz and the team get close enough to get him, Connolly threatens Cooper to mislead the team or his wife will suffer.

That misleading information lead to Liz getting suckertackle or blindsided at the Union Station. But whoever it was that took her down was gone.

If Cooper had a chose, he knew what he was getting into when he got that medical treatment trail from him. As Red told Cooper that he lost her moral.

But that did change as soon as they knew where Karakurt was going, Cooper talked to Connolly about it.

Given him the scare that he knows the target and will stop it. Of course Connolly showed some worry but brushed it off.

In one intense moment of the episode, Liz and Ressler looking for Karakurt, who was in disguised to be an photojournalist. When Liz spots him about to shake hands with the senator and runs and stops it.


She gets him in the car with Ressler, just when you think that the senator is save under their hands, all of the sudden the senator somehow caught the virus.

With Karakurt in the FBI's hands, Russler and Liz talk to him and gives them nothing. Apparently he is clean with no virus in his bloodstream.

When Red got word of the virus but also talked to an all friend about what he knew about Liz's mother. He tells Red that two other guys called him and asked about her.

That's when Red called Liz and told her that she needs to leave the FBI Post Office now. Liz is carrying the virus and that Connolly and his men are on the way to get her. Freaky, right?

It was Red that was being hunted but now the tables have turn on Liz. This has to do with Liz and her mother, who was a KGB agent.

Now Liz is on the run and from what the promo shows, this looks like the season finale that everyone will be talking about all summer. Here's the promo: The Blacklist season finale "Masha Rostova"

You can catch the season finale of The Blacklist next Thursday at 9/8c on NBC.
