Aseudal Yeondaegi (2019)
AMAZING!!!
I was engrossed from start to finish with both seasons! I binged this series like my life depended on it! It was that good! The acting was superb from all the actors. I literally couldn't pull away. Definitely give this one a try. Best fantasy Kdrama series! Now I feel lost and want more. Not sure if there is a going to be a season 3. It wraps up nicely with the possibility to have another season, but even if there isn't one, there was still enough closure to feel very satisfied. Lee Joo Gi and the actress who played the queen was phenomenal. So if you read reviews about the two main actors from season 1 being changed in season 2, don't let it stop you. There is a time span between the two seasons and the actors for season 2 were like the adult versions which makes sense for the story. Absolutely amazing series!
The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023)
Way better than I thought
This was surprisingly very good. I really liked how well this was done. Great storyline and acting. I was disappointed when it ended. I could watch a part 2 and see Dracula hunted by Clemens. It was really good. It's been awhile since I seen a good vampire horror and this really hit the spot. I really want to see this story continue! Bran stoker's Dracula is one of my favorites and this was a great retelling focusing on the ships logs! Awesome! Recommend! Don't listen to any poor reviews! I think anyone who didn't like it may not have watched the entire movie. The tension builds and the result is perfect!
House of the Dragon (2022)
EXCELLENT! CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 2!
I procrastinated for a bit before watching this series. I finally got around to it and binged it all weekend! I loved it! It was a little nostalgic to return to the world of GOT and all the houses fighting for the Iron Throne again. This one has a different story and it was actually very interesting especially how it highlighted so much of the role of women and how they are seen and treated in this world. I was totally captivated by all the characters and the acting was fantastic! I hope this has many seasons, because I'm hooked now and I want to see how this all plays out with the families!
More, please! More!
Itaewon Keullasseu (2020)
Absolutely stellar! Amazing, emotional, inspiring and beautiful!
To date, I have watched 81 kdramas. From older ones to new ones, and across different genres. I loved many of them but only a select few linger in your heart. This is one of those that stay with you. I feel like I viewed something very significant and special. I found this drama to be a powerful story about growth and evolution of the human spirit. When one person can singularly focus on one thing and mistakenly feel it's the only thing that matters, they tend to lose sight of other values. I loved how the main character, Saeroyi, traveled a long journey, while arduous; it not only helped him achieve his goals but he learned the lessons he needed along the way.
As for the love interest, I was so happy that he chose the right person for him. Despite his 10 year crush, I don't think he ever really loved Soo Ah. His interest in Soo Ah was a lot like his focus on his revenge. It was just something that was a part of him that he believed kept him going. Meanwhile, all along right in front of him, his own words about the people he loved and who loved him that actually and truly were by his side were the ones that gave him the strength. Soo Ah cared about him but she never did anything for him.
I also really loved the message in this drama. That sometimes life is a little repetitive. We endure it and can overcome anything as long as we are alive.
My absolute favorite line in the movie is when Saeroyi says to Yi Seo when she said life was nothing and like a chore.
"When I wake up tomorrow, I'll open the restaurant and spend the day working there. Your life may seem repetitive. But no one really knows what could happen tomorrow. Seung Kwon once tried to start a fight with me, but now he's a waiter at Danbam. You made my pub get suspended, but now you're the manager. Not a single day was predictable for me. Some days are tough, some days are sad. But something fun always comes along every once and awhile. It's been happening more often ever since you came. Everyday is full of excitement. Your boring life might turn into an exciting one."
Loved that so much!!!
Park Seo Joon is an amazing actor. All of the cast in this drama brought their talent.
10/10.
Raised by Wolves (2020)
Mind-blowing
This show is awesome! I just finished season 2 and needed season 3 yesterday.
I was hesitant at first but I decided to give it a try and was hooked after the first episode. I love the concept and visually it's stunning. I can't get enough. Mother is amazing and so interesting. Father is great and funny. I love seeing their struggles to understand their own evolutionary changes as they try to process their emotions. I'm so glad I decided to give this show a chance. I need many more seasons!
Avatar (2009)
Even 10 years later, it's amazing
I find this to be one of the most engaging and beautiful movies. I honestly don't understand why some people have negative things to say.
It was groundbreaking for its time and even 10 years later it still stands the test of time.
I'm happy to hear we finally will be getting there sequels. James Cameron is meticulous and will wait years until the technology catches up to his dreams. I can only imagine that the second movie and those to follow will be just as visually stunning and spectacular cinematography along with memorable and lovable characters and story.
Avatar will always be a beloved favorite.
Life After Death with Tyler Henry (2022)
Don't listen to negative reviews
I rarely watch shows on psychics and mediums. There are a lot out there and I was never drawn to watch because some of those others didn't seem as genuine and warm in character.
However, Tyler to me feels very different. He's seems very genuine and has an amazing gift. I have seen a few mediums in my life and only 1 was truly gifted. They knew things and details they legit could not have known.
Tyler reminds me of that medium in the way information comes through for him.
People who don't understand it or who are adamant at being skeptical, will refuse to believe no matter what truths are shared with them.
This whole idea that a psychic medium should be able to predict lottery numbers and other world events as "proof" of their ability is a request that usually comes from small-minded people.
That's not how it works.
This series was very interesting and I don't usually watch these things.
Don't listen to the negative reviews!
The Batman (2022)
INCREDIBLE!!!! 10/10
My new favorite Batman movie! So dark and gritty! I loved it. Pattinson is amazing as the Batman. I wasn't so sure at first when he was casted, but he is perfect! I loved his dark brooding version of the character.
The acting from all the cast was quite stellar! Collin was completely unrecognizable as the Penguin! Paul Dano was just scary as the Riddler.
Honestly, any review less than 8 rating should be ignored. The music score, cinematography, story, acting, etc was outstanding! The Nirvana song was the right match and loved how they started and ended with it. I love that this Batman had a more realistic quality right down to the black eye makeup. A very haunting movie that just stays with you when it's done. Some of the action scenes were intense and just beautiful!
I'm so damn impressed with this version!
I didn't think anything could beat the Dark Knight series and truthfully this didn't. It's completely different and I love the direction it took because it doesn't compete with that series because it feels entirely something new. It allows you to still appreciate any previous iteration and love this one separately.
I can't wait to watch it again!
Invasion (2021)
DON'T LISTEN TO BAD REVIEWS-GIVE IT A CHANCE
I won't mislead you. It does start off slow and suspenseful but when it starts to kick off, your brain will activate and you will be hyper alert!
I actually like that they did it this way. You really get invested and before you know it, you're on the edge of your seat! It's actually scary and frightening. I always like to think of what I would do in these circumstances, probably be the first to die lol
Definitely give this show a chance. It picks up and keeps you wanting to know more.
I suspect that those who gave negative reviews didn't make it past the first few episodes. This is not your typical alien series, it's better. The buildup is really effective. It's told through the experiences of different people around the world and how they come to realize an invasion is happening and trying to find a way to survive. It's very well done! I'm hooked! They better be working on season 2 because I want more!
Y: The Last Man (2021)
Very interesting!
I don't understand the poor reviews. This show is intriguing. I find it comical that the last man is 27 year old immature guy with a pet monkey. It's hilarious and adds spice to the show. Also, 355 is badass and the actress playing her is really good! For the reviews saying the acting is bad, I would like to know what they are comparing to. I'm very interested in where this show will go. In all honesty though, the world would suck without men! As a woman, being stuck with other women would drive me insane!
Midnight Mass (2021)
Mike Flanagan! Wow!
I loved both Haunting of Hill House and Bly Manor. The director, Mike Flanagan's ability to tell a story that is both suspenseful, horror, and intimate is a unique talent. He truly is gifted.
This one is a slow burner and yet it draws you in. I was a bit uncertain but after the 4 episode I was completely invested. Masterful! I loved seeing the return of familiar faces from Hill House and Bly Manor. I cried at the end as I did with Hill House and Bly. You really care about the characters and its heart wrenching to see them experience the end that they encounter.
Any low reviews probably didn't like his other stuff either. No, this was really really good!
If you liked Salem's Lot, this is better!

Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist: Zoey's Extraordinary Reckoning (2021)
Best episode of the season!!!
I really appreciate the way this episode addresses racism and addresses the tough conversations. I think after the year 2020, we should expect to see more earnest discussions to bring us together. How can anyone honestly be against creating understanding and growth away from racism? To deny it, is only asking to keep things the same. The world needs change.
This episode was beautiful and emotional. The songs were amazing! I love this show so much! Always hits the feels!
Greenland (2020)
Worth the watch!
Honestly, with everything going on. I find it worth the rental price to just be able to have something good to watch for once! You won't be disappointed. This was really good and well done. My 13-year-old son and I watched it and we loved it! It was really enthralling!
Highly recommend! Very worth the watch!!!
The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)
Ghostly Emotional and Perfectly Splendid!
There is something about the combination of telling a good ghost story that is deeply emotional and moving. What Mike Flanagan has done is something truly new. I think others may have tried before but not quite as effective.
The fact that a story about a ghostly haunting can make you bawl like a baby at the end, is kind of amazing.
To be both creeped out and tearful is unusual combination and it works!
Both The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor is successful at doing this.
These are stories that linger with you long after the credits. Long after you switch off the lights and lay in bed.
I love it. While, Hill House remains my ultimate favorite for its daring introduction to this type of story telling, Bly Manor is a strong second!
I was so moved and I highly recommend to everyone who doesn't mind feeling a little scared and grabbing for the tissues!
Lovecraft Country (2020)
I'm addicted!!!
I love this show! The concept and story is amazing! The acting is great and the cast is perfect! I am addicted! Waiting each week for episode is torture!
This is definitely a show to not miss!
If there are negative reviews then I can only imagine it's from folks who didn't watch it. It's too damn good to garner genuine negativity.
Dirty John: No Fault (2020)
Season 2 is so good!
I'm not sure why there are negative reviews. I am on episode 5 and I'm hooked!
Dan Broderick was a total Narcissist. He likely suffered the full disorder along with sociopathic tendencies.
If you have never encountered a narcissist, count your blessings! These individuals are devil incarnates. They provoke, push, demean, gaslight, manipulate, belittle, lie, undermine, and use up people and then spit them out.
The acting was really good in this 2nd season. Amanda Peet really put on a strong performance. Christian Slater did a great job exhibiting NPD traits and behaviors.
I feel sorry for the real Betty Broderick. I'm not saying I support murder, but I certainly understand how she got pushed.
Very good series!!!!
Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)
Loved it!
This was very well done! The whole family enjoyed it!
Worth the movie ticket!
Messiah (2020)
I'M SO INTRIGUED!!!!
I love the mystery and suspense that builds each episode. Is the Messiah the real deal or a charlatan?
The show puts it on the viewer to decide and that's a catchy element. I think its a good cast and very well acted. Quite a few familiar faces and diverse cast. The guy they picked to play the messiah is very good-looking! :) I am certain of one thing, if "Jesus" ever came back and looked like Mehdi Dehbi, I think the female population would be his top followers!
Jokes aside, I am eager for season 2!!!
It's a clever little spin on "what if's" and keeps you entertained through 10 episodes wanting more!
I highly recommend! 10/10
Black Summer (2019)
I really wanted to give this a shot...
I got through 4 episodes and I just couldn't take the stupidity of the characters. Nobody grabs weapons, and after seeing that the only kill shot is to the head, they still shoot everywhere but the head.
The writing is bad and I don't understand the need to introduce us to each character and scene. It's weird when sometimes the scene is less than 5 minutes.
I really wanted to give this a shot and be open, but I can't even force myself to keep watching. It's too damn annoying. I'm not comparing it to other zombie shows either, the characters in this show aren't the brightest bunch in a zombie apocalypse.
Rufus (2012)
On Hulu, it's listed as Hunted"
This movie surprised me! I really liked it and really felt for Rufus. I loved the mystery surrounding his origins and was so happy with the ending. Honestly, I really wanted this movie to keep going. It would have made a good series! If you like Vampires and enjoy dramas, then you will like this! It was way better than I expected!
Carnival Row (2019)
VERY VERY GOOD!
This show is incredible! The amount of work and cinematography and effects they put into this show is what sells it. This world became believable to me and I was immediately intrigued. The acting is great! I don't see how anyone can give this negative reviews. They must not have watched the all the episodes! Amazon really outdid themselves with this one! I can't wait for season 2!!!!
Aladdin (2019)
Surprisingly very good!!!
When the trailer for this live action Aladdin came out, I wasn't so sure if I wanted to see it as I was loyal to the cartoon and Robin William's version of Genie.
But after finally watching it, I was surprised by how well done everything was from the acting, singing, storyline, and Will Smith's version of Genie. It was like the original cartoon only with MORE story. We got more background on Aladdin and Princess Jasmine stories and ambitions. I actually liked the guy who played Jafar. It made more sense that Jafar was younger and more attractive than the cartoon version. Especially since he wanted to marry Jasmine when he became a powerful sorcerer.
In the cartoon version, Jafar was much older and ugly, that even the sultan thought the marriage was inappropriate before being put under Jafar's control with his snake staff.
In the live action, each of the characters were given more story, ambition, and some original songs!
One of my favorite scenes is the dance scene with Jasmine and Aladdin! Both actors did such an amazing job and looked like the cartoon versions of their characters.
I think what impressed me most was the cultural reality of the characters. There was like only one white person in the whole movie and that was one of the visiting princes.
Overall very well done! I was super surprised by how good it was. So don't listen to any naysayers. This is a live action version. So think of it as "if these characters were real and not a 1992 cartoon version, what would they be like? How would the story be told?"
A solid 9/10. Only reason it's not a 10 is because it was kind of a long movie.
Free Meek (2019)
Very well done!
Meek Mill is a famous rapper but what happened to him, happens to millions of black and brown people everyday. We don't have a criminal justice system, we have a criminal injustice system.
This was a very good documentary. You get hooked in and it's hard to not see all the little parts that contribute to the broken system. So glad this artist is finally free! Hopefully more and more wrongfully convicted people spending time behind bars gets justice.
Always Be My Maybe (2019)
So much fun!
I loved this movie! It was funny, charming, and very entertaining! I'm really loving Asian rom-coms!
This is going down on the list of favorites!
This was definitely enjoyable! You won't regret it!
