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.

"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.

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.

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
