The Unicorn (2019–2021)

A perfect escape

[10/10 · 6 November 2020]

Well...here it goes.

With all of the unbelievable negative bs happening in the real world (circa November 2020), this show was a welcoming grace. The first episode made me laugh, and 5 episodes later, I actually cared about every character-including the lead family.

It's also a huge bonus that the phenomenal supporting cast has a genuine charisma. Extra bonus? The writing is fresh, funny and needed right now.

I'm grateful for this escape, even if it is a tad bit Hallmark-y. :)

Eli (I) (2019)

Oh Eli, You Naughty Boy

Definitely not what I was expecting. If you like horror that sneaks up on you, give Eli a chance. He's really dying to meet you bwahahahaa!

A Heavenly Vintage (2009)

Heavenly Vintage

[10/10 · 7 March 2019]

This film absolutely surprised me! I randomly searched for a fantasy film, and when this tile appeared I thought what the heck, I love wine that should be interesting! What I wasn't expecting, however, was a very well written and very well acted, blend of romance and fantasy. Even if you're not a person who enjoys wine (though it helps), this film is sure to keep you intrigued and engaged. Give it a try, preferably while drinking a glass or two or three of your favorite Pinot noir, and enjoy!

Nature Cat (2015–2024)

That moment...

[10/10 · 17 January 2019]

...when you realize that half of the cast are your favorite SNL cast members. (Now) I love watching this show with my little one. <3

Desolation (III) (2016)

Predictable yawn

[1/10 · 25 November 2018]

Films like this make me believe I'm psychic. I predicted the ending 20 minutes into the film (and it's terribly unoriginal). Do yourself a favor and bypass this one. Thank me later!

The Back Pages (2017– )

Yawn!

[2/10 · 28 June 2018]

Low budget, terrible acting and predictable and very corny plots. Do yourself a favor and watch Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams and/or Black Mirror.

The Great White Hype (1996)

You will snort-laugh if you watch this

[10/10 · 10 March 2018]

I laughed at every scene in this movie! I happened to catch this one while channel surfing for nothing in particular, so I missed the opening moments. Being that I was 19 when this came out, the god awful patterned & silken pants suits ON MEN totally made sense to me. And despite the fact that in one scene, when the lead actress had her strongest scene, that glorious moment was overshadowed by "Shut Up" "B--!" from 2 different male actors-I still give this movie a thumbs up.

Aside from that, it's truly worth your time if you want to escape into giggles & chortles for about 90 minutes. I mean, everything in this movie is absolutely absurd and can't possibly be reality. (Well except for the exploitative world of pugilism and debauchery-everything else is conjecture.)
