Last Call! Pitch Perfect 3

Related image



If this is the last call for our Bellas, I'm totally comfortable it after watching Pitch Perfect 3 that just it theaters this weekend.

After graduating from college, the Bellas are having difficulty with their careers and tries to get one last performance when they perform for the USO tour. They learn that they must complete against bands that us instruments.

After getting a bit of taste from other performers, they try to make their act a bit better and lose the fun of what they have done in the past. But as they finally find their way, Becca gets a record deal, but only her and not the rest of the Bellas. But when it comes to the Bellas, they learn, grow and move forward.

I've enjoyed this movie from start to finish. The performance from the cast was hilarious and at times emotional when it comes to the scenes of the characters embarrassing the future, let alone the last performance and the end credits as well. The song choices in this film was amazing with "Toxic," "Cheap Thrills" and "Freedom! '90" were outstanding and John Lithgow's performance in the film is funny at times. The film depicts on how when you miss something so bad that even though you can't do it forever, you'll always have the people you were around with still with you.

Even though it doesn't top Pitch Perfect 2, Pitch Perfect 3 gets close enough be what we expect the film to be with great songs, hilarious jokes and characters that we watch grow move forward to their new chapters. Overall, I give this movie 8/10.

You can catch Pitch Perfect 3 in theaters now.

Image result for Life in Pieces The Twelve Short Christmas



From rocking to classic Christmas carol to suicidal rumba vacuum, cleaning bee holes to even the greatest gift, this Christmas with the Shorts will surely be remembered this year.

In this Christmas episode, we see twelve short stories of the Shorts and how they spend their days updaysChristmas—from rocking out to Carol of the Bells by Mannheim Steamroller to Sophia accidentally drinking egg nog instead of milk to going to,  not to mention the sad, funny, and confused moment when Joan's rumba vacuum committed suicide. Not to msayttherthereeehive jokes, Greg, Heathe,r, and Matt are trying to recapture their moment in the tub when they were kids.

"The Twelve Shorts of Christmas" is a half-hour of comedy gold, with many, many memorable moments that I would put this episode on the list of great Christmas classic episodes. The cast was terrific, and let alone the writing was strong, solid, and outstanding. I recommend you watch this episode before Christmas. Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.

You can catch Life in Pieces on Thursdays at 9:308:30 on CBS.

Image result for Great News "Honeypot!"

Great News tackles sexual harassment.

When Diana gets promoted to be COO of MMN's parent company, which has her moves overseas, she becomes a sudden subject matter from the male staff of some bizarre sexually charged harassment. Katie, who Juhad St got promoted to senior associate producer from Diana, didn't believe her coworkers' claims until her mother revealed that she made head intern only after cooperating with Diana's demanding behavior.

But when the entire newsroom captures Diana in the act, she admits she was trying to end her corporate career by receiving a golden parachute like other male executives who misbehave. However, she resolved the issue when she extended her professional success.

Meanwhile, with Carol's new intern job and getting disrespected by the young interns, she earns their respect by getting a balloon from the ceiling that has been there for decades of failed attempts by others.

"Honeypot!" is a funny version of sexual harassment and teaches a bit about Disclosure, too. The cast was once again excellent in this episode, along with the writing. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch Great News on Thursdays at 9:30/8:30 on NBC.

Who's Got Game: Great News "Squad Feud"

Great News is blowing up in the best way possible!!!

After a Q&A of the mighty women in the workforce that led to them feuding with one another t, they seized each other's squad, even Tatakeway Portia's social media followers. But when it came to Portia, pulling a parody of Taylor Swift's Bad Blood and posting a music video titled "Wash Dish, Bish."


Not to mention, the relationship between Katie and Greg grows as they switch positions after Katie begs Greg to do a story she wants. After a few bumps in the road, Katie seems to get the hang of it, and Diana gives her the Executive Producer position. The feud between them was sometimes hilarious, mostly when Carol, who knows about Katie and Greg's kiss, tried to get them back into that mood. But in the end, Katie takes her old job back from Diana.

"Squad Feud" might be my favorite episode of the second season so far, with the wit and intelligent writing. And not to mention the performances from the cast, mainly from Nicole Richie, who shines with her character feuding with Fey's character. I couldn't get enough of the music video of Portia and the crew. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Great News on Thursdays at 9:30/8:30 on NBC.

New News: Great News "Boardroom Bitch" Season Premiere

In the season premiere of Great News, a new boss takes over The Breakdown with some changes.

After pulling off a fake new stunt, The Breakdown gets a new boss, Diana St. Tropez, who makes a splashing first appearance as the station's janitor. With Diana making some changes, Katie, a massive fan of hers, asked if she could be her mentor but declined. But Katie gets one piece of advice from her to freeze her eggs to put her career first over family.

Meanwhile, Diana makes some changes to the format of The Breakdown, taking the format of cable news with shouting about topics that become ratings winners. Chuck, who doesn't like the new format, tries his best to one up on the panel but fails until Portia gives him a helping hand and gets Chuck to speak his mind on why change is bad.

Carol learns of what Katie is doing and takes matters into her own hands with Diana. After several intelligent and hilarious moments with one another, Diana decides to take the challenge of mentoring Katie, like running a marathon on a full bladder. But later, Carol and Katie understand, and Carol learns from Katie, and she and Greg kiss.

"Boardroom Bitch" is an excellent episode that brought many laughs and memorable scenes from the cast and that includes Tina Fey as Diana. I think that Diana St. Tropez might be one of the best bosses that I've seen since Michael Scott. The writing of this episode was excellent and had some good character growth. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

You can catch Great News on Thursdays at 9:30/8:30 on NBC.

Live it Up Like It's Your Last! The Good Place "Chapter 18: Existential Crisis"


Just as things are seeming to go to plan, Michael finally understands the meaning of live like there's no tomorrow.

Just as Vicky thinks her plan is working, Michael gives her his plan for torture of what she could do with Eleanor and the gang. But she didn't like how long it is and wants them in a one page with pictures (you know someone like the current President wants every memo).

As Michael gets Vicky's plan about having Tahani throw a party, she'll be throwing a party too. As Tahani and Jason prepare for the party, Chidi tries to teach Michael about ethics but when he talks to Michael about death and what would happen to him if Shawn found out, it turned Michael into a broken man.

Our gang get together at Tahani's party but when they headed over to Vicky's party, Tahani became mad and jealous about it. That lead her back to her party along with Jason, who tells her his own good person meter and rates her at an eight out of ten.

Meanwhile, Michael runs off during Vicky's party but comes back with a look out of Miami Vice, shocking Eleanor and Chidi. They try to get the old Michael back and Chidi tells Eleanor that the only way is to tell a story of a sad event about death. With a flashback of Eleanor's past of learning about her dog had died as a child, at her dad's funeral to even crying about family at Bed, Bath and Beyond. And Eleanor tells Michael that moment and it seemed to work as he's back from his mid-life crisis.

As Chidi, Eleanor and Michael about to get ready for another lesson, Tahani and Jason wake up in bed together after a night stand. Tahani shocked and wanted to talk about it but Jason, too excited, wanted to make her breakfast cereal. Given Tahani a moment to think and smile.

"Existential Crisis" was another great episode that had a lot of humorist moments and not to mention some heartfelt moments as well. The humorist moments coming from Danson once again with Michael reacting to what death really means for him and dressing like Don Johnson from Miami Vice. The heartfelt moments comes in with Jason making Tahani feel better after coming from Vicky's party. And also Eleanor's flashback and moment with Michael was sure a heartfelt moment to see the characters, that includes Tahani and Jason, to grow and open up. The writing was strong and performances were solid. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch The Good Place Thursdays at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.
