Going in I was like "I am not a horror fan, I get scared too easily and I have enough stress in my life" but I watched Things Heard and Seen because it was Amanda Seyfried (Les Misérables, Dear John); James Norton (Little Women, McMafia) helped too. Adapted and directed by Shari Springer Berman and … Continue reading Things Heard and Seen (Movie Review) | One Genre Masquerading as Another
"We don't lock books in the house. Reading seldom leads to bad behavior."ADOW S2 (Philippe De Clermont)
A movie about urban cowboys is not something that I would gravitated toward, but going in I knew that the Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club is a real thing. I also thought about how a lot of how old west cowboys of color were just erased from history so I was quite intrigued by this … Continue reading Concrete Cowboy (Movie review) | A Modern Western with Plenty To Teach

It's not quite blockbuster level but it's close. The first episode doesn't feel like a CW show at all.

CASTRebecca BreedsLucca De OliveiraMichael CudlitzKal PennDevyn A. Tyler The Accent is the first thing that I noticed. Not to judge if it was good or not, but I didn't remember if Jodie Foster's Clarice had one. To say that I went in "blind" is an understatement, all I knew about the show is that it … Continue reading Clarice (Pilot review) | The Right Look and Tone But It Still Needs Work
Review: I wasn't sure if I was even going to check this out because I don't think that I'm the right demographic but I've had a hard day and my best friend was there for me. So I thought of this show when I wanted to wine down. It is has cliché has you think … Continue reading Firefly Lane (S1 Premiere Review) | Interesting Enough To Watch It Through But Not Binge
Review: The series picks up right where we left off in season one, and let me tell you they're moving things along and I love it. The story unfolds faster than in "Shadow of Night," like season one it's leaner and to the point. The show has always had a clean crisp look but this … Continue reading A Discovery of Witches (S2 Premiere Review) | Engrossing and Beautiful
Lupin wasn't in my radar until that first trailer came out. I thought it was interesting that they cast Omar Sy (X-men Days of Future Past) in the role of Arsène Lupin but I didn't think I would make it past the first episode. When doing so I found out that Louis Leterrier (Incredible hulk) … Continue reading Lupin (Part 1 Review) | Arsène Lupin Meets the Count of Monte Cristo

JacksonBased on Patriot Games (1987) by Tom Clancy The movie is not rushed, it's atmospheric and calculated without being too complex. It's not as flashy as one would think but it does its job, entertains. It's the bad guys versus the good guys, one wants revenge the other … Continue reading Patriot Games (1992) Movie Review | Not Rushed and Easy To Grasp
