Overview Girl Meets World returns and things aren’t all sunshine, rainbows, and just catching up. Growing pains are the focus and whether or not people grow with you.
You know with some actors you stick with them thick and thin. Over the years I have watched tons of bad movies, start to finish, just because I really enjoy what an actor brings to their roles and their odd character choices. Since The Book Thief I’ve followed Sophie Nelisse’s career and while the last…

Overview OWN is a slept on channel. Granted, starting things off with a slew of Tyler Perry productions didn’t begin its scripted foray with the best reputation.

Overview It’s the birth of a new series and strangely, it’s a dramedy. Which is surprising in a good way for it makes it feel like Atlanta is bridging the gap between the comedy star Donald Glover is known for and the rare, non-soap opera styled depiction of not only Black people but issues which…
Overview Episode 2 arguably isn’t about pushing the story forward or featuring its stars. It is more so about establishing the people the stars live around and their environment.
