Rainbow High (2020– )

Wish there was a -10

[1/10 · 23 April 2021]

Just sat through the one episode on Netflix with my 6 year old niece and am horrified!! A whole school structure that awards social media clout and vanity...focusing only on outward appearances.

It time for some Bill Nye after that batch of brainwashing for little girls.

I'd rather watch Barney...and that says a lot.

A New Leaf (1971)

Masterpiece!

[10/10 · 30 June 2019]

As many on here have stated this is a wonderful movie. Mathou is amazing and May is just genius! My father introduced to me this one, quite reluctantly on my part, and I am ever grateful. I do not like comedies or romances but this is something altogether different and new, unique. May's work is brilliant but I also have to give props to the editors. I would love to see the original uncut version but I feel, truthfully, that it would not have the amazing, sweet charm of the version we know. Mathau will forever be "Henry Grahm" to me. His mannerisms and dialogue are delivered so perfectly as to believe his background is the same as his character. May plays the shrinking wallflower with such precision you can hardly imagine her as anything else. To anyone debating watching, I say that is an absolute must!

Blind Dating (2006)

Always have to try and fix a person.

[1/10 · 4 October 2018]

I'll admit...I didn't watch all of it. Only a bit at the beginning and end. And I could barely stomach those parts. I have the same problem I have with almost any other movie about a disabled person. We always have to be "fixed". For the majority of us, no experimental surgery will help. Life isn't going to get all rosey after the doctors try and "fix" us. And we don't miraculously become "normal" people. Please...make a movie that has a blind person always blind. A deaf person always deaf. And someone in a wheelchair who doesn't get up and walk down the isle at the end. Living life disabled in an able world isn't easy but no one's life is. These movies just perpetuate the idea we need to be "fixed", and aid the belief that we can only be accepted when we are normal.

Jyu oh sei: Beast King (2006) Season 1, Episode 9

Amazing Sci-Fi Anime!

[10/10 · 8 July 2014]

I have watched a lot of anime and although this is a short series it just grabbed me. I pulled an all nighter to finish it! The storyline is well thought out with a great blend of science and survival-ism, and yet easy to follow. The characters pull you in from moment one and make you love or hate them as you should. The graphics (artwork) - beautiful and well fleshed out, one of my key selling points for an anime. The backgrounds weren't fuzzy just because they were behind people, they were just as important to the animators...marvelous!! Music - amazing! I had to go out and buy the soundtrack I couldn't get it out of head. Another thing I greatly appreciated was that there weren't many confusing Japanese terms for equipment for surroundings that all sounded the same to western ears. Unfortunately I often have problems with that in anime, but just write it off. Didn't have to in "Beast King". Overall, if you like Anime or if you like sci-fi this is one to watch!!
