Empire season 3: Disappointed or convinced? Results of the season

sivertime — Tue, 06 Jun 2017 18:59:13 +0000

While the season 3 of Empire recently ended on the FOX, was the Lyon family convincing? It’s time for the verdict!
A few days ago, a character lost his memory in the Season Finale of Empire’s Season 3 . Indeed, after being the victim of an explosion, Lucious spent a time in a coma and woke up completely amnesiac. This should completely upset the series! If Season 4 of the musical show is awaited, it is now time to make a small recap of the season 3 of Empire . The editorial of melty reveals its balance sheet! After the various cliffhangers of the Season Final drama of season 2, there were a lot of storylines to exploit in the new episodes of the show. Beginning with the death of … Rhonda. It is indeed Andre’s wife who died. Despite a very moving scene between the young woman and the elder brother Lyon in the Season Premiere, Rhonda had no right to a funeral or farewell worthy of a personage of his importance . Moreover, it was rather strange that Andre mourn so quickly in Empire season 3 . Was this death really necessary? It would seem that it was a simple way to awaken the curiosity of the fans until the return of the series. For her part, Laura left Hakeem in front of the altar. It is a pity that the failure of their marriage has not been more exploited, just as it is regrettable that the talented Jamila Velazquez did not appear in season 3 of Empire . It was rather strange that Andre mourn so quickly in Empire season 3 . Was this death really necessary? It would seem that it was a simple way to awaken the curiosity of the fans until the return of the series. For her part, Laura left Hakeem in front of the altar. It is a pity that the failure of their marriage has not been more exploited, just as it is regrettable that the talented Jamila Velazquez did not appear in season 3 of Empire .

It is a pity that the failure of their marriage has not been more exploited, just as it is regrettable that the talented Jamila Velazquez did not appear in season 3 of Empire .
If Empire season 3 left us doubtful several times, the series still has some resources and has made us curious to discover all its episodes. First of all, we note that it is always a pleasure to see stars of the song or the television pass a head in the series . We are delighted that Eva Longoria or Nia Long appeared in several episodes, but we are disappointed that a star such as Mariah Carey was entitled to 5 minutes in the show. The cast continues to be very engaged and delivers emotional work in every episode. As for the evolution of the characters, Jamal always enchants us as much but has not really been spoiled storylines level. His post-traumatic stress lasted a little too long and ended up becoming repetitive and uninteresting. On the other hand, the course of Hakeem is impressive in this season, we really saw the character evolve over the episodes which contrasted particularly with Dre, always using the same methods. As for Cookie, she is always perfect in drama queen and regale us with her scathing replies although the matriarch has revealed to us a much softer side that one appreciates just as much. If Shine and Tariq were disappointing, Anika was able to pull out of the game as well as the unpredictable Leah, able to tip everything in an instant . It is undoubtedly one of the great strengths of the series. We really saw the character evolve over the episodes which contrasted particularly with Dre, always using the same methods.

It is undoubtedly one of the great strengths of the series. She is always perfect in drama queen and regale us with her scathing replies although the matriarch has revealed a side much sweeter that one appreciates just as much.

It is undoubtedly one of the great strengths of the series. She is always perfect in drama queen and regale us with her scathing replicas although the matriarch has revealed a much softer side that we appreciate just as much. If Shine and Tariq were disappointing, Anika was able to pull out of the game as well as the unpredictable Leah, able to tip everything in an instant . It is undoubtedly one of the great strengths of the series.
The show is appreciable especially thanks to its many references to pop culture and incredible performances of the artists. The series keeps its scandalous side and especially surprising , what we adore! However, some details or intrigues are strange or useless, we will remember the scene of the ghost of Rhonda which invites in a very intimate moment between Nessa and Andre. The big problem of Empire season 3 is that many intrigues have been launched but soon forgotten or abandoned. Besides the series relies heavily on his achievements as well, we feel as if we are going round in circles. In addition, some storylines feel warmed up! Jamal has again found himself in a love triangle, Hakeem falls in love with the new recruit Empire, Cookie and Lucious do not cease to make war … A little renewal would not hurt the series. The episodes of Empire season 3 were very uneven. Some had trouble keeping us invested for 40 min as we felt it was filling episodes. Others, however, were very successful. One thinks in particular of the episode 5 or the double episode of the Season Finale, particularly well worked. “Toil and Trouble ” was really tight with her little side Ocean’s Eleven and leaves us on a cliffhanger that could give the series the breath of fresh air she needs. In short, We are mixed about this third season although the series still has enough to keep us in suspense and surprise us. It will have to prove itself in the next episodes. While waiting to learn more about the sequel, find out when Empire season 4 will air . And what did you think of the Empire season?

Like Thiago Silva, the protagonist of the series does not ensure as much as it should

So-called main character, charismatic, driving force, it does not meet expectations. And he sees his partners, supposedly secondary, steal the show.
Whose fault is it ? Good question. The actor with the game too dull, the dialogues rewound, the scenes badly tied … However, this character to be the star of the series is not, does not meet all expectations. Examples.
Peter Petrelli (“Heroes”)
Clearly a problem in writing the script. Planned for a single season, the series is tearing apart. As a result, the success is massive. As a result, producers do not want to stop and continue to fuck their pockets full. Except that the plot was scheduled over a season, the characters saw their destiny tip and their role ended there. Rather than going back on something new, while trying to keep a formula close, the guys have brought back the initial characters. Including Peter Petrelli. That tires everyone and occupies too much room, without letting others develop . Frankly, it was enough to choose one and give him a chance. There, it did not rhyme any more, it was wobbly, it could be seen. Then it’s completely gone in the end. The inevitable happened. Pity,
Malcolm (eponymous series)
Central character of the series and the family – there is only to see the title to confirm it, eh -, Malcolm remains however in withdrawal. We all have crazy memories with Reese, Hal, Francis or even Dewey for the more distant seasons, when this one grew and begins to really make his own. The little disdainful gaze and the sarcastic remarks of the little genius end up weary , and merely by less laughter than the exploits of other characters. Less complex, too predictable, the young gifted become plaintive teen loses charm gradually.
Peter Griffin (“The Griffins”)
It is clear that no character in this series is supposed to be worshiped, loved, in the sense that they are all bastards. Besides, rather than laughing with them, we spend more time laughing at them. But this is the goal of the author, Seth MacFarlane, so we kiffe. Except Peter, which ends up becoming more aggressive and limiting, than funny . As Mayor Adam West tore, with his caustic humor and obscure pop-culture references. It perfectly represented the absurdity of the show, it would have deservedly deserved to be the protagonist.
Oliver Queen (“Arrow”)
The most interesting part is told by flashback. That is to say how Oliver passes from the irresponsible spoiled young man to a mature and determined man. Afterwards, the series galley a little because it has already arrived at its final state. It is what it is, it no longer changes. Its variations and evolutions concern only its capacity to kill or not to assume it or not . Pity. While other characters like Arsenal (Roy) or the Black Canary (Laurel) really evolve before our eyes, from simple human beings to devoted fighters against crime. Which one did you most drunk?

You do not necessarily know, but all these movies will soon be rebooted

sivertime — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 18:34:18 +0000

History stutters. The cinema, too.
This is not a bug in the matrix: according to “Hollywood Reporter” , the Warner wants to relaunch the dream machine / cash Matrix through new films. On the other hand, no one really knows how this return will materialize (reboot? Suite? Prequel? Spin-off?). The idea is above all to capitalize on a beautiful brand, still well identified among the general public . In the same vein, Hollywood is going to let us down a slew of reboot in the coming months, some of these projects may have escaped you. Here are a few.
Men in Black
The producers of the franchise have recognized actively working on not a film, but 3! A trilogy that will happen without Will Smith, but perhaps with a main character heroine according to the rumor . Woman in Black.
The Lion King / Aladdin
Obviously, it had to happen one day after “Beauty and the Beast” , “The Jungle Book” , “Evil” , “Cinderella” , Disney will adapt two of his classic live-action with “The King Lion “and” Aladdin ” . Jon Favreau will be in charge of the 1st named while Guy Ritchie will take care of “Aladdin” , of which a call to auditions was recently launched to find the actors. Kev Adams was not available or what?
Remember … last summer
Surfing on the wave of the slashers at the “Scream” , “Remember … last summer” has had its small effect on the young audience when it was released in 1997. And despite two rather flaky suites the last of which is out In 2006, Sony would be ready today to relaunch the franchise . The duo of directors Mike Flanagan / Jeff Howard, known for the horror film “Oculus” , is responsible for finding a coherent story around the original book of Loïs Duncan. Chills guaranteed.
New York 1997
Snake Plissken is back to break jaws. The anti-hero camped by Kurt Russell in this anticipatory movie where Manhattan became an open-air prison, could resume service in a reboot. Or a prequel “Planet of the Apes”, which would explain how New York sank in this way (and we would learn incidentally how Snake lost his left eye) . Produced by Fox, the film already has a screenplay written by Neal Cross, the creator of the series “Luther” . Note that another work of John Carpenter could know the joys of the reboot since a project with “The Adventures of Jack Burton in the claws of the Mandarin” is also under study.
Charlie and his funny ladies
After the failure of the second episode, “Les Anges rage” , there was really little hope to find Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore for a 3rd film under the direction of their beloved Charlie. And after the oven that was picked up the remake of the series in 2011, canceled after 8 episodes, there was even less hope of regaining any project around the license. And yet, Sony – still – would have decided to relaunch the machine with a new film, the realization of which was entrusted to the actress Elizabeth Banks . Wait & See.
Highlander
An immortal story. Do not be surprised to find her soon on the big screen. The project was entrusted to director Chad Stahelski, who made a nice taff on “John Wick”, and who already holds his villain in the person of Dave Bautista (preview in “The Guardians of the Galaxy” ). The good man will resume the role and sword of Kurgan. On the other hand, it is not known which actor will replace Christophe Lambert in the title role and cross the iron with the former wrestler …
Splash
In the Chelou idea genre, this one is not bad at all: to replace the sublime Daryl Hannah, who gave way to Tom Hanks in this classic of 1984, choice was made to take … Channing Tatum. Instead of a siren, the spectators will be entitled to a triton during this reboot . Faith, gaffe to the tail of fish for this film that has not yet director at the time I write these lines.
Starship Troopers
When it was released in 1997, the film of Paul Verhoeven had more than divided the critic. This violent and fascist film, a film by SF where soldiers wage war on giant extraterrestrial insects, then experienced several pathetic sequences directly bombed into VOD. The redemption transaction appears on, with next reboot led by screenwriters Mark Swift and Damian Shannon, who wrote the film including “Baywatch” ( “Baywatch” if you prefer). As for “Remember … last summer” , their taf will mainly rely on the original novel, “Stars, attention to you!” , By Robert A. Heinlein. Good luck.
Mortal Kombat
Another film with this devil of Christopher Lambert and his laugh of sheitan. We are not going to lie, the cine version of “Mortal Kombat” is a good nanar, in the line of action movies of the 90’s that seriously kiffait . A reboot is not likely to hurt him , especially as it is James Wan, director of “Conjuring” and “Fast & Furious 7”, who charbonne on the project . Finish it!
Scarface
A remake of a remake. This is how we should understand the next adaptation of “Scarface” , which will succeed the films of Howard Hawks (1932) and Brian de Palma (1983). Well, in our minds, Tony Montana will forever be associated with Al Pacino eh . What will prevent us from going to take a look at this new version realized by Antoine Fuqua ( “Training Day” , “Shooter” ) with Diego Luna (seen in “Rogue One” ) in the title role. The guy will be Mexican – not Cuban – and will go to his dirt in Los Angeles. Another film that will make zizir the side of the White House …

The movies you see and see in scred ‘, because it is not glorious

sivertime — Thu, 16 Mar 2017 18:10:37 +0000

Old, clichés, abused, slow, absurd: the qualifiers can vary infinitely. Still, you love these films, and you do not count the times you looked at them.
If we were known, it would be the kind of record that would weigh on us like a sword of Damocles. Enemies would try to make us sing by putting pressure on us: “Do as you like, but if you do that, I’ll talk … about your cinematic tastes …” So much to assume right away. Without any swinging either, only five small examples. Otherwise it’s hot, to say everything …
Bloodsport
We needed at least one with our JCVD. We could have made a list only with his films from elsewhere (Kickboxer, Street Fighter, The Big Tournament, …). Going to Bloodsport, where the beautiful, kind and generous Frank will do everything to avenge his old friend (a few days) , the rocking wrestler Ray Jackson overwhelmed by this scraping of Li. Impossible and love story as a bonus. Warning, you realize all the same that there is not much happening in fact. A bit like in the Dragon Ball, more talk than a fight in the end. But hey, let’s have it anyway.
Movie, 1980, 1990, 2000, Remembrance, Childhood, Enjoyment, Shame, Best, Lol, old, bof, folder, Disappointment, Revu, Bloodsport, Van Damme, Action, Karate
“Oh damn, I said, loud, to everybody …”
Mortal Kombat
So already the pitch, it is a sorcerer sent to a tournament by an emperor of Overseas. Why ? To win it and thus take control of the Earth, spread there evil and desolation. Boom, tension. Inspired by the video games that we burned for hours and hours , we kiffé. Even if Raiden is played by Christophe Lambert, that Johnny Cage is not so impressive that the film does not break three legs to a duck.
Demolition Man
A small duel Wesley Snipes – Sylvester Stallone, it does not refuse. Muscle, mouth … and muscle. Yeah, we’re not going to invent things either! While the first incarnates a psychopath and the second a cop to the expeditious methods, it starts badly. For Sly / John Spartan, condemned to cryogenization after having killed the 30 hostages with his primitive techniques . And Snipes / Simon Phoenix, captured and cryogenized as well. Except that, many years later, the latter wakes up, stumbles and escapes. Then we wake up the brutal cop to chop him. Aaaaah, here, the fight and the explosions, it’s still the base.
Love actually
Served by a cast 3 stars (and still, we could say much more), this film of 2003 passes unfailingly on the television, several times a year. At Christmas, during the holidays (all or almost all), when the programmers have already redone their catalog … And you again and again these ten stories of love, some of which are related. The opportunity to see London, Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley … A little guilty pleasure.
Ali G
Long before “Borat” and “Brüno”, the first film where one plunges into the delirium of Sasha Baron Cohen. Following his sketches on the show “Da Ali G Show”, the film was born. She lives with her grandmother in Staines (West End of London), with her dog 2Pac and her friends Ricky C, Dave and Jezzy F. When he rains with the rival band in the east quarter, In the Super 5 race . Bossing a little at the recreation center, he motivates himself to go on a hunger strike when he learns that the center will close. Finally, selective hunger strike! And by making crap, he becomes a Conservative MP, pulls out files on his Labor opponent … Has anyone ever dared to say in the evening that he loved these films without pressure?

These actors who galley since they won an Oscar

sivertime — Wed, 08 Feb 2017 19:16:04 +0000

Normally, behind, you put yourself well. Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Pay. Unfortunately, for them, the opposite is true.
Life is not always sewn with white thread. We think we know the sequence, the sequence, we say that this or that would be logical. And boom! Change of plan. When fate gets in your way and mouths 2 cm from your piss: “Surprise mother fucker!”. In short, you see the picture what. These actors have lived it, and still live it.
Adrien Brody
Rewarded for his role as Wladyslaw Szpilman in “The Pianist”, in 2002, the American actor had upset us. His almost impassive face conveyed an incredible, throbbing pain. Roman Polanski knew the magnifier . Since then, it’s brothel. Most of his films are flops (“Predators”, “The Jacket”, “The experiment”) and for some time, he plays outright in unknown stuff coming out directly in VOD. But what happened?
Expensive
And yeah, you did not see her come here! Cher is not only a singer, but also an actress. Of talent, in addition. After a few good roles in “Mask”, “The Mystery of Silkwood” and “The Witches of Eastwick”, she breaks the hut as an accountant who assaults the brother of her supposed future husband in “Eclair de lune”. The beginning of a great career? Rather the end, alas, so far. Since ? Not terrible movies and cameos.
Cuba Gooding Junior
“Boyz in the Hood” and “Men of Honor” were already killings. But in “Jerry Maguire”, it exploded. In his role as a professional footballer, Cuba Gooding Junior played masterfully . Better, he was Rod Tidwell. On the other hand, he detonated afterwards. Will know if he asked too much, if he had no good offers, or if he simply made the wrong choices … Because “Instinct”, “Chill Factor”, “Rat Race”, “Snow Dogs” Radio “… We will not talk about it.
Kim Basinger
Beauty is sometimes a curse. People only see you in a type of role well defined and limited, like the directors who contact you. It was his case, before we would trust him in “LA Confidential” , awarded with an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. But this was not confirmed, because of poor successive choices. Only her performance as Eminem’s mother, in “8 Mile”, had brought it back to light.
F. Murray Abraham
In fact, it started too hard. Just at the beginning of his career, he plays the role of Antonio Salieri, the sworn enemy of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the film “Amadeus”. The film picks up a sling load of trophies at the 1984 Oscars, and Murray Abraham contributes, won Best Actor . So will know why, we have not seen him again in quality films, interpreting complex and interesting characters. Rather than appear in a thriller by Colin Farrell (“Dead Man Down”), or lend his voice in “The Muppets in Space”. Ok, we saw him again in “The Grand Budapest Hotel” or “Inside Llewyn Davis”, but we waited (and hoped) better for him.
Roberto Benigni
If you have not yet seen “Life is Beautiful”, really, do it. It is great. It makes you want to chill that bastard. You end up on the kneecaps, moved, shocked, lost. Logic, he had the Oscar for this role, knowing that he was also the director. The result was not so convincing. Its “Pinocchio” did not work, it has somewhat disappeared radar screens, made some small roles (“Coffee and cigarettes”, “To Rome with love”), redisparu … Too bad. Other examples in mind?

The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Grey’s Anatomy, American Horror Story: These episodes we would have preferred never look

sivertime — Tue, 29 Nov 2016 20:00:04 +0000

Even our favorite shows sometimes make missteps between episodes too slow, too shocking or downright useless, small return on the worst of the small screen. Warning, spoilers!

We love them, we love them, but sometimes our favorite series skid with a bit boring episodes desire, intrigue fetched or scenes that would never see outright favorite. For some this is that an episode from time to time so we did with, for others it is just the overall concept should be reviewed (yes Pretty little Liars is you we’re talking about) . While the season 7 of The Walking Dead – whose first season has shocked the faint hearted and the other – in full swing, we therefore propose a small return on these episodes that would perhaps not have existed or at if we would have preferred never to see!
Grey’s Anatomy and its false note
With “Song Beneath the Song” (7×18), Grey’s Anatomy has yielded to a classic series: the musical episode . The problem with that is that it can be a great success that makes a nice interlude, but it can also quickly become the biggest WTF of a series … and it’s a bit what happened in Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital …
The final series of Gossip Girl , is a typical example of the plot slightly dodgy and a resolution that is even more so with the “revelation” of Dan and his secret identity. Yet we loved Dan, Chuck, Serena, Blair, Nate, their money, their clothes, their stories of heart … but hey, a final series like that, no thank you .
How I Met Your (Step) Mother in the driver
Kids, this is the story of a neat concept that should have stopped earlier and above better than that . Speaking of disappointing and moldy final series, How I Met Your Mother also has some lessons to teach by killing the character was expected to experience since the very first episode, handing Ted Robin (surprise! … Or not) and separating Robin and Barney.
The Walking Dead, still more gore
The grimey scenes, this is not what is missing in The Walking Dead . But the season premiere of season 7 has overstepped the boundaries with the death of Glenn and as you say it is a moment that we would have liked to have never seen. Between Ewww and OMG , if we could have a small lobotomy soon-made to forget the eye of Glenn almost out of his skull we would not say no .
Hop, nothing like to present a character of the show, he and his deformed hands, trying to “give pleasure” to a young woman from the outset in the driver. The formula AHS is zero zero hassles blah, we enter the heart of the matter and continue with ever cheloues scenes each other … in short, it was blah joined this first episode Freak Show.
Dragons, distant lands, manipulations and dialogues at top: Game of Thrones is a hit and we’re as eager as you to discover the season 7. But as often happens, the first episode of season 6 has (too) took his time to show us where were all the characters and it gave a boring episode at will. Add to that the fact that it was not until episode 2 to see Jon open his eyes and gives a first season undignified way series .
the walking dead season 7 game of thrones season 7, PLL, gossip girl, the worst episodes, bad, boredom, disappointment, disappointed, himym, pretty little liars, gray’s anatomy, twd, american horror story, ahs
average start to the season 6 of GoT …
Pretty Little Liars: annoying much?
In line with Gossip Girl or How I Met Your Mother, PLL is used and exploited on a good track to exhaustion, so much in fact that it ended up digging its own grave . Some plots are made for short series and clearly, Pretty Little Liars were few. But hard hard to stop when the success is the appointment and a result is even announced after the season 7 of PLL ! So it’s not really an episode we would have liked never see is almost every season after season 2 and the revelation of the first A.
That closing our round-up of television disappointments … After all it’s a bit inevitable when looking at both sets but somehow we do not hide it, our favorite series can be boring episodes to die , characters who sometimes want to slap or unnecessary intrigues, it will not prevent us to love them (and watch)! and you, what episodes which series would you like never to see?
