Peanut Butter Falcon Movie Review.


Ludacris once said, "I got movies. I got movies. In different cabinets." (if that isn't the most outdated thing I've said. I believe there's a word for it). He didn't actually say that but what I was trying to convey with my awful joke is that I love movies. So much so that I reviewed Fighting With My Family earlier this year. 

 I don't review a lot of movies, considering that I'm sticking to my niche that is pro wrestling but when a movie does have wrestling in them, I might give my thoughts on it. 

 Anywho, the film tells a story about a young person with down syndrome named Zak (played by Zack Gottsagen) and had aspirations of becoming a pro wrestler after watching very old videos of a wrestler he looks up to known as The SaltWater Redneck (played by Thomas Haden Church). 

 He lived in a nursing home being taken care of by Eleanor (played by Dakota Johnson) and eventually escaped that place in order for Zak to stop by at SaltWater Redneck's wrestling school. Along the way, Zak meets Tyler who's a fisherman with an aim to go to Florida and they had a journey together that embodies friendship and life goals.

 This movie after viewing it twice via Google Play movies, is my favourite film of the year. Shia Lebeouf aka the guy that is the walking symbol of the phrase "I don't know karate but I do know crazy", gave a stellar performance unsurprisingly thanks to the character he was given to portray by the two directors and writers in Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz. 

 Zack Gottsagen also needs my big props because he made me root for Zak and his drive to become what he dreamt of being. Dakota Johnson played a motherly role in Zak's life and she was so good in that role that it actually convince me "that's my pick for Susan Storm" but that's a different discussion. There were two notable names in the professional wrestling world that I wouldn't spoil given that it was a special moment for a fan of the medium like myself. 

 Overall, this is a delightful movie that I can definitely recommend seeing it on digital platforms like Google Play, Apple TV etc. Let me know your thoughts on peanut butter falcon.

WWE Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match.  Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship.  During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit.  This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope.  A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

WWE NXT 2.0 14/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

NXT 2.0 or as I like to call it, NXT "I'M DIFFERENT" edition.  Let's get the positives out of the way. I like the set and the way it compliments NXT's new water multicolour look. In a world with main roster WWE and its giant screen, the presentation definitely stood out.  The entrance stage set also gave me a bit of a Wrestlemania 27 vibes and because of it, I'm always going to remind myself of that dogsh*t of a PPV so that's definitely a negative.  The main question is, Was the inaugural episode of NXT "third times the charm" edition any good?  Yes. The main thing NXT did right is how they showcase some of the newer faces on the brand.  There were a few head-scratching moments but as a whole, I enjoyed the episode.  Images via WWE.com Bron Breakker vs LA Knight.  We all know that Bron Breakker is an awful name (Bronson Rechsteiner was perfectly fine) but my God, that dude has the LOOK!   I mean, if I had to choose to rebrand myself in WWE, I...

WWE RAW 28/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

Not an enjoyable show like last week's show but it was okay for a typical RAW episode but for a PPV build up, it wasn't good at all.  The Women's Tag Team Champions Opens The Show And….. Paige started off this episode of Monday Night RAW and introduces the Kabuki Warriors which Paige hasn't been on their side for weeks and I'll explain that last comment.  Paige was putting over the warriors and Asuka grabbed her microphone immediately which led to Paige getting her mic back which led to Kairi Sane grabbing Paige's mic. Asuka splits that green mist to Paige to which Becky Lynch came out and brawls with Kairi Sane.  That betrayal from the Kabuki Warriors made a lot of sense considering that Paige didn't benefit them other than being their English spokesperson. Gotta give a big shout out to Paige for selling that green mist without taking a bump. That was great.  Becky Lynch vs Kairi Sane.  That was a very good opener. Kairi Sane reve...
