The Newspaper (Test Pilot)

This is only a test pilot on a project idea I had a couple of months ago. You remember The Newspaper comic strip but what if that was in a digital style form? There's still some retooling that I'm working on. Hopefully by the fall it will look better. 

Captain America Civil War: An Action-packed Movie Worth Seeing

A team divided by the concept of being contained can not stand. If that didn't make any sense, this probably will.... When a the Avengers are in trouble for causing death and destruction, the United Nations are to force them to revealing their identity and contained until they are being needed.

Yeah, there's going to be separate opinions on that, no doubt.

Captain America: Civil War or should I say The Avengers: Civil War, was a jaw dropping action pack thriller that I've seen in a long time. The story was tight enough to perfection, the acting is top of it's game and give credit where credit is due to the Russo brothers for making a great film.

There were so many actions scenes, two that stand out was the scenes with the group battle and Iron Man against Cap and Bucky. I real enjoyed watching Iron Man get his ass kicked by Cap. Even when he tells Cap to stand down and gets back up for another round was amazing.

The film gave a great thriller and a great twist that involves with Tony Stark's childhood.

And the humor in this film was out of the ballpark. Ant-Man brought it , The Falcon and Winter Solider brought it on as new best friend old-best friend and even Spiderman was hilarious. The scenes with Peter and Tony was just had me laughing my pants off. Not to mention the scene of The Falcon and Bucky fighting Spiderman was priceless.

There are some dark tones in this film but it balances out with the action and comedy that comes with it. I don't get where the emotional part comes from, either they're talking about watching Team Cap's crew in a cell or whatever. I felt bad for them and really hating Stark even more.

This film does give a great ending to the Captain America trilogy and opening it up to Avengers next film. Now what happens here if there should be another Captain America film? Hell I would want another one. It's the only film out of the Marvel/Disney film that I enjoy. Until there's a Black Widow film, for which I'm still crossing my fingers.

Overall,  I give this film a 9.5/10.

It's is so far the best film of the year.

You can catch Captain America Civil War in theaters now.

A Twisted Case: Chicago PD "In A Duffel Bag"

It's one of the most twisted cases the Intellegence unit has face so far this season. The outcome you and even I never saw coming along with another shocker.

As Voight is enjoying an evening with a group of old buddies playing cards, dispatch calls for a mysterious package near the lake. Voight takes the call and head over there to see. As he opens the mysterious gym bag, there seem to be a frozen baby there.

As the baby get sent to Med, Voight and the team search for the parents of the child. With a little bit of hep from the Med team, they get test that helps them go in the direction. They found out that the kid has a gentic disorder and tries to find someone who came to Chciago getting treatment for that.

It pointed to a guy out of the city limits and after questioning him and taking some DNA, he was the baby's father. Voight goes off on the guy like no other and admitts that he does't care if he loses his badge. You know that he's on this case not for the crime but from an emotional standing point.

After the guy tells them where he was in the last 9 to 10 months, the team searchs for high school girls who had dropped out due to preganancy and found a few. They soon got the mother and Lindsay and Halstead drove to the mother's house, but got her stuck up rich parents, but the mother was a pain in the ass.

They tell Halstead and Lindsay that they had exchanged the baby with another family. After the baby was born the midwife took the baby to the parents without having any legal documents. So the team searches for the midwife and finds her at a birthing class. While there, Hank and team went to the parents the were to have the baby but when they get there there were a lot of baby things from clothes to cribs that indcated that they were or had a baby.

So from where this case was going it goes back and forth towards the parents of the mother, midwife and parents there were to take the kid. The midwife was charage but soon released as the team figures out that it was the parents there were to take the kid. As they got to their home, the place was empty so the manhunt was on for the father and mother.

They spotted the van at a gas station and as soon as they left, Hank the team goes in. After everything that had happen, the father confuess of being drunk and forgot the child as he was taken his other son to see the comets or lunar moon. But when the twist came as soon as when Ruzek was shown the suspect's son a space pen that the kid told him that he was the one that took the baby out without his parent's knowlegde.

That got Hank to talk to the father of not going with the story that he told him. After that the most joylous thing happen....Erin got to arrest that rich bitch of a mother that sold the child to the family. That was pleasant to watch and even Halstead telling her husband to just run away.

I might have told just one twist but there were quite a few more as well. One was that Voight tells Erin about Justin and how he was a twin with the other one being a stillborn. That was s shocker. And a reason how this case got emotional for him. Also watching him holding his grandson was sweet as they come.

And the last twist comes at the end with Burgess and Roman opening up the flood lights to a one night stand. The heart knows what it wants I guess. Sorry, I had to say it.

This was a great episode coming in after what I consider a long break. Reruns are good but nothing like a new episode. This episode really did play with some emotions. Hell that baby coming back to life was something and not to mention when the baby took a turn for the worst. This was really a true crime story that you would never seen coming to the end. I thought Jason gave a great performance.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

Next week will test the intellengence unit as a shotting goes wrong and Burgess is on trail. The Unit goes to the team of Chicago Justice for help and the man to do it is the man that put Voight in jail.
Once you see the promo, you'll get chills.

You can catch Chicago PD Wednesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

The Eye in the Sky: The Blacklist "The Artax Network"

As the FBI is on their own when tryingto find Liz's killer as Reddington sees someone to give the bad news.

Cooper and the team aew on the hunt to who wanted Liz Keen. Without Reddington it would really take longer than what this episode would give. Aram hook into s system that had them seeing what the killer was seeing when watching Liz. I like to call it's God's eye because he can see everything from any camera.

They have one suspect that turns out to be the next target but by the time Ressler and Samar get there the suspect is ambushed and is almost killed but Samar saves him. But let's not forget that the person that was trying to kill the guy was the same person from the nuclear bomb theft episode and boy did she give Samar a good butt kickin.

With no idea who could be after the guy, they look back at the cameras and found a mysterious woman talking with the guy. Cooper asked Tom to follow the Attonry General Panabaker who is spotted talking with the mysterious woman. As Tom and Cooper looked at both photos, Tom thinks it could be Liz's mother.

For the team, they did find where a satalitte network that has been dead but still in use. Amar hacks in and located where the spotter is at. But by the time they get there it was too late as everything got distoryed.

On the other hand, Reddington drives to a wooden house in the woods. There he sees an elderly man and informs him about Liz's death. Turns out that he's Liz's grandfather and you can see that she has his temper. He infomers him about Liz's child, happy but not to pleased that he won't see her but in photos.

Red tries to find a way with the help from Liz's grandfather. He looks through some old things like gliter, board games along with clothes and dolls.

Red still looks lost but when Amar comes and ask for his help, he turns him down. So Amar recalled what Red told him awhile back about how this grave that they were standing could have been Liz's if he had not saved her from the cubal. Amar asked for him to repay his debt but Red turned him down.

After a talk with the grandfather, Red apparently repairs the old man's piano and leaves. I guess whatever the man told him got his edge back because by the end of the episode Amar gets a knock at his door with Red behind it. Red looks like Red and tells Amar that they have a job to do.

Red is back baby!!!

This was a very good episode and it's nice to see how the FBI worked without the help of Red. I was moved from performances from Lennix and Arison. Cooper given the eulgoy at Liz's funneral was emotional and heartfelt and Aram's speech to Red was remakrable. It's his best since the episode back in January.

Overall, I give it a 8/10.

You can catch The Blacklist Thursday nights at 9/8c on NBC.

The Father and Gone Girl: The Blacklist "Cape May"

OH MY GOD! That was just my first thought after watching "Cape May." This was by far the best written and acting (from Spader) of the year.

With the exhaustion and damage, Reddington leaves a Chinese restaurant after spending what I assume days after killing the doctor who tried to save Liz. He leaves and looks lost, but until he stops a taxi in the middle of the street, he gets in and asks for a trip to Cape May and pays the driver.

As they drive towards Cape May, Red reflects on the events of the death of Liz in those final moments and his discussion with Tom about how Red will never be near the child. As soon as they get there, Red takes the driver's cab, takes it, and drives towards a diner for breakfast. He spots a woman sitting and leaves her seat when a man comes towards the diner. He comes in and looks for her, but no luck.

As Red gets to the beach shack, he walks around takes a beach chair, and heads towards the beach. Red looks at the ocean and soon spots the same young woman barring something in the sand, and then runs towards the ocean. Red yells at first but then runs towards her to save her.

He brings her out of the ocean and later brings her to the beach house. The fireplace is set, and Red covers the lady with a blanket. He tries to cuddle with her to keep her warm and she speaks out that something that seems to be the reason for her suicide attempt.

Red wakes up, chilly, and looks around for the woman.  Finds her upstairs and she sees that someone is out there. Red goes out, and as he looks at what looks like someone from behind him, he takes a swing, and we learn that it is a kite.

The two looked around the kitchen and had dinner. And the two talk, Red talks about the decision that he had to make to save one life or lose two. The way Red tells it looks like he's trying to find peace with it by talking to her. She sees that he had to make that decision and soon gets interrupted by a cop.

Red and the lady go back upstairs to check the bathwater. She gets in while he sits in the other room. As they had a chat, she asked him if he had ever killed anyone, and he admitted that he had killed those who deserved it.

Soon, someone breaks into the house; Red checks looks around, and goes back up to the bathroom. As he looks at the tub, the lady tells Red that he's behind him, and we see them fight, but it is the lady who finished the job-killing the guy. They take care of the body, but soon more will come, and they get ready for more of them.

They set up traps like that in Home Alone. As they get ready, Red tells her that he isn't leaving without her and tries to convince her that suicide is a mess. The one chilling point from that scene is when he asks her for her name, which he still doesn't know, but apparently, she knows his name as she calls him "Raymond." Creepy and chilling, right?

After the two had one hell of a battle, Red goes out to get the car, but as he does, everything looks different from what he had seen. There was nobody, and the tire of the jeep was flat. He rushes back and sees that there are no dead bodies, and as he looks out of the window, he sees her again running towards the ocean.

He rushes out there, but it is too late. He spots a treasure hunter and asks if he has seen a woman. The man replied that he had not and that the only person that he had seen for the past two weeks was Red. Hold the freakin' phone. He thinks back to what happened last night and that everything he went through was him and his imagination.

If it was all in his head, then who was that woman that he was talking to that happened to know his name? As Red sees the guy finding a necklace in the sand, he asks for it and takes it to the ocean to wash the sand out. He sees the name Katarina Rostova, Liz's mother. He tells her that he keeps her life in that child and calms him down with her hand on his face.

As Red looks around and at the beach, he answers the man's question if he's alright. Red replies that he has someone to see.

What a great episode this turned out to be. It had that Gone Girl sense. James Spader give his best performance ever since, well, the pilot, and draws every emotion that he can put on Reddington as he tries to deal with the loss of Liz.

Just give Spader every acting award from Emmy to Golden Globe. Also give credit to the writer, Daniel Knauf, who wrote the episode. I literally didn't know until Red read the name of the necklace that he was hallucinating.

Overall I give this episode a perfect 10/10.

You can catch The Blacklist Thursdays at 9/8c on NBC.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt "Kimmy Gives Up!"/"Kimmy Drives a Car!"

Episodes 5 and 6 serve as one of the best episodes so far. There's a throwback commercial to even catchy tunes that makes me beg Tina Fey and everyone to release a soundtrack.

Kimmy Gives Up!

Episode 5 has Kimmy returning to her GED class to take the final test. Not receiving a letter of it, she gets Dong's and decides to take it to him, personality. Lillian doesn't think she's doing it just to be nice but to win his heart again. 

After dropping the letter off, Kimmy is spotted by Dong's wife and comes in. Dong is mad at her at first, but it's when he tells her that he and his wife must go to a meeting to convince her that their marriage is real.  So Kimmy helps by taking them to certain spots for photos to make it look like they've been on vacation as a couple. 

But it doesn't go quite well, and Kimmy accepts that she and Dong aren't meant to be right now. But maybe in two years, they'll be the couple we want them to be. As Kimmy says, "It's hard to get over Dong."

In the meantime, Lillian sees that Titus has been singing many, many show tunes that even I've never heard of, but they're so catchy. Lillian suspects that Titus is finally happy with the relationship and such. That brought him pretty down until Lillian brought him back up with a show tune that he was surprised to know. 

And as for Jacqueline, she deals with being a parent for the first time with her son. With no Kimmy, Jacqueline goes to the doctor for help and is advised to give her kids a drug to calm them down, which calms Kayne West's behaviors. 

Given Buckley some meds, he turns into a calm zombie-like child along with the other children. When Jacqueline tells Kimmy, she convinces her that it's good, and tries it. The worst part is that she tried it just before her private outfitting and did not see the colors of the dresses as everything turned gray. But she awakes with an outfit that's hilarious and colorful, I don't think even MC Hammer. 

Jacqueline realizes she misses Buckley's misbehavior. She goes out to get some clothing, and after being asked to leave and what size she wears, she and Buckley go to the store for fun.

I loved this episode a lot. I think it's one of the best episodes so far. Titus's performance, just singing many tunes, makes me want to beg Tina and the producers to put out a soundtrack album for the show. Also, I couldn't get enough of Jane's performance too. Also, I loved how Kimmy mentioned that she's still waiting for Nickelodeon to come to her school, and so am I. I love how they add 90s references in this season. So many memories!   

Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

Kimmy Drives a Car   

In episode 6, Kimmy juggles two jobs: being there for Jacqueline and her job. Kimmy as she is always there for her friends. But it will cost her to gain a new job.

When Jacqueline demands Kimmy to do too many things while she has a job at the Christmas store, when Jacqueline loses a tooth, she asks Kimmy for help but goes by herself to get into the dentist without success.

Putting on a mitosis in place of her tooth, she tries to convince the secretary to get her in, but with no success. She loses her mitosis tooth as it drops into the secretary's diet Coke bottle. She later puts in a fingernail (big mistake) and demands Kimmy to take her to the dentist she knows, who turns out not to be an honest dentist.

Kimmy tells Jacqueline that her attitude isn't helping her at all. So, after a bit of a fight, they agree that Kimmy works for Jacqueline but nursing a friend and drives her to the costume shop, where she gets a sexy Joe Biden outfit and uses the teeth.

As Kimmy waits for her outside, someone gets in and thinks that she's an Uber driver. She is an Uber driver. But does ask Jacqueline to be her friend.

While this was going on, Titus and Kimmy agree to do an AIRB and agreed to their apartment for some money. Lillian doesn't like the two renters and asks Titus to get rid of them as she doesn't trust them.

There were some great guest stars from Kennan Thompson and Zosia Mamet. I enjoyed this episode as well and thought that it was about time that Kimmy put her foot down to Jacqueline. This was such a great episode for the entire cast. And I would like to thank the writers for the remainder of the mitosis commercial jiggle; I can't get it out of my head now.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Season 2 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix now.

Jason Bourne - Official Trailer (HD)

He's back and you know his name. He remembers....He remembers everything.
Matt Damon has return to his iconic role as Jason Bourne and this time it looks like he doesn't seem to be going after the US. Julia Stiles is back as Nicky Parsons, which is awesome!!!!

Along with these two are Alicia Vikander, Vincent Cassel and Tommy Lee Jones.

This trailer looks amazing. Jason looks a lot older and a bit meaner in his years. There's so much action shown, which I love and doesn't ruin anything for me what so ever. I literally can't wait to see this film.

Here's the Trailer:

You can catch Jason Bourne in theaters July 29th.
