Overview Van returns and she takes Earn to a fancy party. A fancy party featuring rich Black people who could provide her some kind of opportunity. Here is hoping she gets one cause bills need to be paid. Review (with Spoilers) I often have, well at least as of late, mixed feelings about this show….
Overview It’s that time of the year where horror themed movies and episodes come out in masse and it isn’t exclusive to TV and movies. Even YouTube. Review (with Spoilers) Thanks to one of the react videos I learned of Starrkeisha and not since Got 2B Real was having regular airings have I found myself…

Overview The Last Five Years is the type of film which doesn’t have broad mainstream appeal, but for those who love Broadway-styled musicals on the big screen, this film is certainly for you. Review (with Spoilers) – Below
Overview After a bad breakup, a young woman goes to live with her brother in Chicago for a while. Review (with Spoilers) Not since Drinking Buddies (which I’m so mad I don’t have the review to anymore – I really liked the movie) have I seen an Anna Kendrick film and this saddens me in such…
Overview In this zombie comedy, a young man’s girlfriend comes back to life and while she at first seems normal, she degrades into a functional zombie.

Overview If you want a weird indie film above romance, this one is for you. It features a single man living in a world where you can be arrested for being single, and have 45 days at a location to find someone, or else you become an animal. Which, of course, leads to many either…
In this live-action adaption of the classic tale, CGI is used throughout to help this version stand out.
Overview The complexity of family is played on screen and throughout the film, you watch one do what it takes to be loved, as the other seems almost indifferent at times. Review (with Spoilers) After seeing Blue is the Warmest Color (or Colour) I thought I should look for other films Lea Seydoux did, and…
Overview A story, within a story, within a story, of a young man’s eccentric father figure who taught him everything he knows.

Overview As the summer of 2014 comes to an end, one last coming of age story is released to top the season off. Review (with Spoilers) After Plush, I must admit the idea of Emily Browning playing the role of a musician wasn’t a horrible idea. Especially since Skins alumni Hannah Murrah and Olly Alexander…
Overview Though a strange movie, it is also one of the most compelling ones that I didn’t go to a theater to see. Review (with Spoilers) People often wonder why actors are paid millions of dollars for movies, and the reason is name recognition. This film I never heard of, but because Shia LaBeouf is…
Overview It’s a romance, it’s a gangster film, it slightly a comedy, all wrapped up in a film which is a tad bit too long, but still very much entertaining. Trigger Warning(s): Implied Rape & Domestic Violence
Overview Imagine a Cinderella/ Rapunzel inspired film in which there are no animal friends, or evil sisters, just a wicked mother, and a prince who helps turn the would-be princess’ life around. Trigger Warning(s): Mental Illness depictions Review (with Spoilers) Despite not reviewing a lot of Evan Rachel Wood productions, I must say that I…
Overview A period drama in which a woman decides between slightly boring but dependable, and a talented, slightly erratic, artist. Trigger Warning(s): Scene of attempted rape Review (with Spoilers) It has been almost a year since I have last seen an Emily Browning movie, and while I could have certainly watched Pompei, I didn’t want…
Strange Magic seems like the type of film that should have been a VOD/ Direct to DVD release but instead was released in theaters.
The draw of Plush is Emily Browning and Dawn Olivieri, from House of Lies. This is despite Emily Browning being more miss than hit with the most recent titles I’ve seen her in, and with me not being very familiar with Olivieri’s work outside her role in House of Lies. Still, a fan is there…
Overview Issa owns up to her end of her and Lawrence’s relationship problems, as Molly finally gets into “The League.” Also, Issa shows she is more than a token at work. Review (with Spoilers) I scream glory, glory hallelujah for while I can usually find a whole bunch of issues with a show to the…

Overview As season 1 of Humans comes to an end, there are a few happy endings, some hints as to what the future holds, but nothing big or shocking.
Initial Thoughts With the discovery of who Karen actually is, combined with the majority of the synths reuniting, it leads to the question of what is to come? The goal is for more synths, especially if you ask Niska, but as someone claims themselves as an enemy, and with Hobbs always lurking, could our favorite…
Overview Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising is not only less funny than the original Neighbors but loses a lot of its heart as it attempts to introduce new characters. Rating TV Viewing Trigger Warning(s): Vomiting Characters Worth Noting Mac Radner (Seth Rogen) | Teddy Sanders (Zac Efron) | Kelly Radner (Rose Byrne) | Shelby (Chloe Grace…
Initial Thoughts With Humans being an eight-episode order, it makes each action mean more for you know everything is so time limited. However, I must admit I was not expecting the ending for this episode that happened. For while I don’t believe that any show should fully commit to an absolute happy ending, it nonetheless…
Introduction As more people become aware that there is a possible sentient and murderous, synth on the loose, we begin to see humans give up on their relationships with one another, as well as synths begin to give up on each other.
Overview As with most Seth Rogen movies, the comedy is about the oddness of close male relationships, jackass style violence, and somewhere amongst that is character development. Review (with Spoilers) Whenever Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg come together, usually magic happens. The only exception being The Guilt Trip, and maybe The Watch as well. Otherwise,…
Introduction There are a handful of shocks and surprises in episode 4. Be it something physically done to Anita, which characters finally have their storylines converge with another, or perhaps who we learn is a possible sentient synth. More below. Trigger Warning(s): Attempted Sexual Assault
Overview Representation matters and as Viola Davis said, though more geared toward women of color, the only thing which separates people of color, or in this case Black people, from everyone else is opportunity. But in Floyd’s case what separates him from everyone else wasn’t just opportunity but hard work. Which, into his 80s, is…
Introduction Three episodes in and I am as curious, yet satisfied, as when I first started watching. For with Mia making a short appearance, alongside more oddness from Anita; Niska pretty much going rogue; alongside Laura’s family pretty much making her seem crazy, there is so much to love and I’m barely scraping the surface…
Introduction Humans continues to be quite an interesting series which almost reminds me of the early days of Orphan Black in terms of how interesting, and mysterious, its sci-fi elements are. And even with the series order only being 8 episodes, it seems the show isn’t neither going to race through all it needs to…
Overview Seth Rogen once again finds himself trying to find the proper balance between jokes and serious situations, with varying degrees of success. Review (with Spoilers) – Below Characters & Story Dave Skylark (James Franco) is one of the top media personalities around, however, his producer Aaron (Seth Rogen) looks around and while he is…
Introduction Humans dives into the familiar world of androids, called synths in the series, having human emotions and that being quite scary to the average human.
