Heal
(2017)

A film that should've been titled Sickness
It's beyond me how these new age films completely miss the mark.. in a movie such as this that covers the mental relationship with the body and health, how is it logical to spend as much time as they did covering everyone's horrific story and illnesses instead of discussing health?? It's one of my main complaints with movies or materials that are targeted to promote self-help... I don't know if perhaps you have an unenlightened filmmaker or just ignorance in everyone involved and authors on topics like this... if the message is to promote health, it should focus on health and that should be the message that is communicated to the audience. I am completely unable to take in the message they intended to deliver as to do so, you'd have to take in all the negativity that lead up to it which permeates through this film and I for one find it completely counterproductive and I don't recommend it.

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!
Wow!!! What a show!!! What a story... Absolutely sensational!!! It's a MUST watch!!!!!

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
(2018)

Imagine going on a road trip.. then driving right off a cliff
I was so into season 1 & 2... I thought it had dark enough but entertaining and lighthearted themes and then... I don't know where but the writers thought it'd be great to introduce singing into the show and it's point blank unbearable.. it's turned into this narcissistic showcasing of their singing every. five. seconds and it's not even about the characters anymore. They've run out of story, have shortened their newest season to one challenge to overcome per episode and I just can't even watch it anymore. It's impossible to get back into the story after they disrupt the show for a song which absolutely disconnects you from the show you are watching and transports you into an American idol episode that no one will EVER remember.. imagine if American Horror Story did that with any of their seasons.. they forgot the golden rule of just knowing their audience and learning how to read the room! Lady Gaga was on Hotel but that wasn't reason enough to make her sing every chance they got... just because she can, doesn't mean she should.. it adds no value whatsoever and the audience into this kind of genre isn't exactly the same audience that's jonesing for a musical! The singing has single handedly ruined the entire series for me! I won't even get into the holes and laziness of the writing.. they can't even write a cohesive story from episode to episode anymore. I think that it should've been left at season 2. A perfect example of how people without original ideas piggy back off of something already done and run it to the ground until the only things left are fumes.. and a disappointed audience!

Wonder Woman 1984
(2020)

She made a believer out of me!
I thought the movie was fantastic!! It gave me an old school vibe reminiscent of some of the original superhero movies.. it had a great story, far fetched yet very familiar and sprinkled with present day events.. I couldn't help but feel they made subtle references to donald trump.. Maxwell's office's in the movie happens to be located at the old post office in Washington DC that is being leased and is now the current location for the Trump Hotel.. there is a scene where Wonder Woman goes through a catharsis and whips her lasso into the air to pursue the villain and we see a very clear shot of the clock tower of the building.. given how charged the social and political climate has been, I couldn't help but view the film through this lens once I made the connections.. I noticed references made to his plans along US and Mexican border and also a mirror image of all that people have projected onto him and the chaos that has ensued and what we've seen brought out in people with opposing views. It was subtle, yet meaningful. I was very surprised to see such a convincing performance from Kristen Wiig.. it was refreshing to see her in a new light and she was spectacular! Gal was beautiful as always and wears the Wonder Woman's shoes very well! I enjoyed that it wasn't a superhero movie packed with meaningless explosion after explosion and it actually went somewhere.. they had a message in the movie, they delivered it well and also contributed to her character while introducing us to new ones. Personally, I wasn't swept up in the love story but that doesn't mean that I didn't see or recognize it's value to the story.. I just think Chris Pine fades into the background and I think Wonder Woman would've been matched better with someone who has a stronger on-screen presence. Overall, I really enjoyed the movie and think they did a phenomenal job. If they keep it up, I'll for sure stay up to date with the franchise because aside from it being entertaining, it contributed more by also being an inspiring watch!

(2019)

Ridiculous!! 😂
This show is so ridiculous.. but in the best way!!! They really brought nostalgia back and are the goofiest!!! They have great chemistry and the stories are uncomfortably relatable... I've sat here laughing uncontrollably trying to catch my breath! It's great to watch and think back to a lot of things you went through when you were that age. Def worth watching.

The Wilds
(2020)

Surprisingly Good!!
I was kind of skeptical when I started the first episode... but I stuck through it and have to say that I was pleasantly surprised and glad that I did. These aren't young actresses that don't know what they're doing.. these are talented girls, giving a great performance for a story you wouldn't think much of if just told the plot by some of your friends. The characters are believable and I feel like they're girls you'd actually know or went to school with... it felt organic, their backstories gave insight as to why they did things and I think this is one of those you can easily binge watch.. it had everything!! I'm hoping there's more and a season 2 & 3 coming and that we see more from these girls!! They did a great job with the casting!!

Euphoria
(2019)

A M A Z I N G !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was left speechless... just about needed something for my anxiety and an inhaler! The acting is pretty phenomenal! Everyone had a story that effortlessly seemed to flow and it felt natural. The characters are captivating; Zandaya and the gang really brought this one home! Great cast! It really captured the entire essence of what it portrayed to be and I think it's probably one of the smartest and well written shows out there. We really need more like this and I'm praying for more. BRAVO!!!!

Tiny Pretty Things
(2020)

Cringe, Barf and Repeat
It had potential in the beginning... but then it quickly revealed itself to be empty and cast by "actors" without range... a story plot that is tacky, predictable and probably should've been targeted to an audience of 13 & below. When all else fails, they attempted to insert sex scenes that were not remotely hot, exciting or thrilling.. everything about the show lacks heart. Aside from the dancing, it offers nothing.. nothing at all. By episode two I was on my 100th cringe... between the machismo from one of the dancers who can't fit the shoes of a bad boy claiming "his" block in a ridiculous street brawl, and his on screen romance with another one of the dancers that borders on the non-consensual, I literally just couldn't.. it's all so forced. It should've been left on the SeanCody editing floor. Their backstories are so petty that it's impossible to get invested into any of it. A show so vacuous that it makes Keeping Up With the Kardashians seem like Shakespeare. The only difference is that their show should still be on the air.. Tiny Pretty Things shouldn't; Black Swan you are not, Goodbye!

The Handmaid's Tale
(2017)

WOW!!!!! WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is such an amazing work of art... cinema, television, writing, acting, art direction at its finest all rolled into one. I almost have no words.. it's so refreshing, addicting and pioneers its way into your life in such a way that you almost don't understand how you ever lived without it.. the characters are so multi dimensional, believable, lovable and relatable.. even the villains of the story you develop a fondness and appreciation for. The world created in handmaids tale is right out of a science fiction story that is somehow presented in such a way that seems almost too close for comfort. This deserves award after award after award. Elisabeth and Yvonne are electric in this series.. I've been waiting and anticipating the fourth series abs by god, I do hope they give us everything we want and everything we never knew we needed!

Evil
(2019)

Kill it... kill it now, please!!!
What an awful boring and basic show... the acting is awful, the stories are so generic and with so many good tv shows being streamed on Hulu and Netflix, I would never understand why anyone would waste their time with something so unoriginal and lifeless... this is the kind of tv show that would just fill air time in the 90's when there was no choice but to watch network television but there really is no excuse for it now. The standards have been improved on and whoever has been allowing the budget for this should resign, be fired and possibly quarantined... forever. It pains me to even know it's been renewed for a second season. What a waste of time, resources and bandwidth.

The New Mutants
(2020)

We were rooting for you! We were all rooting for you! How dare you!?!
I saw Split and Queen's Gambit so of course, I gave this movie a shot for the only name worth even mentioning but WOW what disrespect to such an amazing actress... why would they tarnish her career by to casting her in this film??? awful story, fractured scenes, a forced premature romance and terrible, downright laughable plot.. a demon bear? The best they could come up with was a demon bear? This film shouldn't have had the budget that it did. This is a movie that should've gone straight to sci fi and been trashed. Sharknado had more substance than this.. none of the characters are believable.. Josh Boone's dad must've blown someone in the industry because there's just no way this was ever taken seriously.. the amount of disrespect that I feel as a viewer is just beyond. How dare you!?!??!! We were rooting for you we were all rooting for you! When my mother yells at me is because she loves me! You sit there and you're rolling your eyes cuz you've heard it all before.. but you don't know where the hell I come from you have no idea what I've been through but I'm not a victim; I grow from it and I learn. When you go to bed at night, you lay there and you take responsibility for yourself - because nobody's going to take responsibility for you!
