L.A.'s Finest (2019)
They Literally Named the Star Characters "Sid & Nancy"
Just watch this with friends to make fun of it... Jessica Alba what were you thinking.
Hubie Halloween (2020)
It's a fun Adam Sandler Movie for Halloween
It's exactly what it is supposed to be. A fun Adam Sandler movie that has a message behind it but is over the top ridiculous with slapstick comedy. It's a great Halloween watch, especially for the family.
The Addams Family (2019)
Fun but definitely for children
I love the Addams Family. The original TV series, the 90's movie series, and the original 1930's comics. I know all there is to know about the Addams Family. Trivia, differences between series, movies, and other variations. So, I didn't not enjoy this version. I'll always enjoy something Addams Family.
However, this is really made for children only. It's not even really for the entire family. I guess it can be but I feel most adults won't really be entertained. Honestly, most people above the age of 11 wouldn't really be entertained. I think younger children will 🖤 it and it may be a good gateway to the other adaptations. Especially cause you can show this movie to a much younger audience, like children under the age of 6. So, I still think it's worth watching.
I also like the way they did the whole backstory of the old country and before the children were born. It varies from the series version but the 90's movie series changed so much of what the 60's TV series had originally set as backstories and family lines that I don't it really matters what they decided to change in this movie. It's their version of Addams Family and that's fine and fun for children. The best part of the movie was the visual aspect of the movie. The visual representation definitely reminded me a lot of the 1930's comics with modern twist. Because it was animated they were also able to pull off a lot that they would have never been able to do in a live action movie. So, that was something that made the movie more enjoyable.
Watch and enjoy and if you have young monsters at home this is perfect for them.
Enola Holmes (2020)
Oh Don't Listen to the Bad Reviews
Make your own judgment after you watch the film. It's an adorably fun film that has classic characters in it but isn't centered around them. It's not intended to be a Sherlock Holmes tale but it gives off Sherlock vibes in Enolas character.
Everyone saying it's a "feminist" movie, is just upset because the lead is a female that isn't a traditional young lady for the time period. But neither was Sherlock. That's why it's so fun. She's very similar to her brother and has characteristics similar to his at that age. That's the fun of it. It's just a fun movie.
And what's wrong with showing a strong young woman that's just been thrown into a different world, a word of adventure. Especially in that time period. Nobody would have complained if the character would have been male or a younger Sherlock going through the same scenario. It's just showing a strong, smart, and intelligent young adult, regardless of gender, on an adventure.
Watch the movie. It's family friendly and it's a fantastic adventure. Millie is adorable as always.
Lovecraft Country (2020)
Has Anyone Bothered to Read The Novel?
Infact do people even read anymore? Because this series is based on the Novel Lovecraft County by Matt Ruff. It's a fiction novel that focuses on racial tensions in the 1950's. It is not based on Lovecrafts novels. The series sticks really close to the original source material so far and is actually really an excellent read. Stop making reviews before doing your research please. You may actually enjoy this series once you realize that.
The Umbrella Academy: The Swedish Job (2020)
This Is My Powerful Episode Review 🙌
To be clear, this is my episode review not my series review. Though as far as stars 🌟 go, it's a 10/10 for me on this series and this episode. The reason why I am choosing to also leave a review for this episode was because of the importance of it and the message is has. The mirroring images of 1963 Dallas to 2020 Austin, Texas (where I am located), sent shivers down my spine.
I was crying when they were in the diner getting harrassed and called names. Having sugar poured on their heads. It was terrible and I just kept thinking how sad that must have been. Then... then the scene slowly morphed into something that I recognized. Something that I have seen on person, from a distance, but in 2020. It it impacted me in a way I didn't think possible.
The message in this episode is clear. Everyone should be treated equally and systematic racism has to stop. Police brutality, regardless of race, needs to stop ✋! And it can start where it's at it's worst, with people of color. It's 2020, not 1963. I should have never seen that reenactment and thought to myself "this looks do familiar ".
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018)
Don't listen to these ignorant sitcom haters
This version of Sabrina is amazing! It's dark but not too dark for teens, it's got way better effects, cinematography, acting, and well everything. Don't get me wrong the old Sabrina was cool, I just lost interest in it after 13. This series I would have loved just like Buffy and Supernatural. It's got grit!
Good Omens (2019)
I 💜 This Show
As a Neil Gaiman fan and as a HUGE David Tennant fan, I came into watching this show with the expectation of already knowing I was going to enjoy to a certain degree. However, to my delight I found that this is such a beautifully written, directed, and acted production. For me, what I enjoy the most about the show is the cast and the chemistry between David Tennant and Michael Sheen. I definitely think it's worth watching, especially if you enjoy british TV and humor.
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile (2019)
American Crime Story for Ted Bundy
I really loved how they focused more on the story behind Ted's personality and from his girlfriends point of view. The actors did a phenomenal job and I was very happy with the adaptation. I almost feel they coukd have gone more into detail and turned this into a series. I'd ignore the negative reviews. Thise reviewers missed the point of the movie. They just wanted to see gore and they don't care about the psychology behind the man. This movie dives into his extreme sociopathic behavior and really shows us how charming he was unfortunately to people. He really was a vile human being because he was so calculated and cunning and he could manipulate people so easily. Interesting to watch and the actors were right on par!! Zac Effron deserves an Emmy!
Penny Dreadful (2014)
AMAZING!
I'm so confused on how anyone could hate this beautify created show. Everything from story, to acting and cinematography are on point. You wish you could jump into the TV set and join the gang as they defeat evil. This show will capture you, frighten you, and even make you cry. It's got all the aspects of horror but has this beautiful way of also being a drama. Not just a drama, a drama that really shows us the Victorian era with all it's splendor and all it's unfortunate struggles with poverty. You will grow very attach to these characters and their inner demons. It's worth watching!!!!

The Haunting of Hill House (2018)
Thrills and Chills!
This adaptation of The Haunting of Hill House is just brilliant. I'd say it's particularly scary all the way up until the last episode. The acting and cinematography were on point and the thriller and spooky aspect of the series makes it way more terrifying than your average gore fest. The slow burn that they give you makes you stay on the edge of your seat waiting to be terrified.
The best part of the series, other then how terrifying it is, is how much you connect with the characters. You really understand them and get to know them and their struggles and strengths.
The only complaint is the thrill dies off in the last episode and even though it was an amazing ending, it wasn't as scarry as the rest of the series.
Besides that, it was a perfectly crafted series and it gets a 10/10 for me.
Doctor Who: The Woman Who Fell to Earth (2018)
WE HAVE OUR FIRST FEMALE DOCTOR!
The first introduction to our female doctor portrayed by Jodie Whittaker was amazing! She is going to ba a fabulous Doctor and a great inspiration for girls. I feel she is going to be a lighter and happier doctor, similar to 4 and 11.
The only complaint I have is score wasn't as good as the previous seasons.
King Lear (2018)
I Enjoyed the Modern Adaptation
I typically enjoy watching both traditional and modern versions of Shakespeare's work, so maybe I am a bit biased. However, I truly believe that this adaptation was wonderfully done for a modern version. Anathony Hopkins is always a delight and his performance as Lear was very well done in my opinion.
My only complaint was they should have cast Christopher Eccleston as Albany insted of Oswald. He's such a strong actor and he could have really made that character shine. Emma Thompson was marvelous and so was Tobias Menzies as The Duke of Cornwall. Tobias is just wayyy too good at playing evil humans.
I recommend you watch this adaptation, you will enjoy it if your a Shakespeare fan.
Maniac (2018)
Beautifully Crafted Masterpiece
Everything about this series was so beautifully crafted. It's like David Lynch and Wes Anderson had a baby and used aspects of way 80's sci-fi and modern fantasy. The storytelling, the acting, the cinematography, and the costume design is all on point. I see some Emmy nominations for 2019 for sure.
