American Horror Stories (2021– )

Wait... what? Huh?

[1/10 · 31 July 2021]

Color us disappointed to the N'th degree. Talking during a Ryan Murphy show would usually earn you a smack of warning in my apartment viewings. Second time would result in expulsion. THIS time with the very first episode of THIS new series, we were blabbing within the first 10 minutes and stopped it before 15.

I don't know what demon has RM possessed, but for godsake get him exorcized STAT.

A Touch of Cloth (2012–2014)

A crime show, but..

[10/10 · 30 January 2021]

Not a crime show, fortunately! Found this amazing show on Amazon by chance and was absolutely hooked in minutes. The writing is pure genius, 100% exceptional dry, deadpan humor performed with perfect timing and great chemistry amongst the actors.

I'm not even through the first episode, yet and already know that this is going to be only the 2nd television show ever for me to watch over and over without it ever getting old. Will be searching for the outtakes!

The Lodge (2019)

An Original Horror Concept? Yes, please!

This horror/suspense flick really surprised me. In a good way! Have to admit they got me on a couple of things, which is awesome ~ cheers! It is more of a build up type horror/suspense movie with a great storyline, no copycats here thank god, so props to that. None of the slasher type scares or jump out scares but definite hair on the back of your neck, feet up on the couch raising, holding your breath type of film. The score I thought was fantastic, think Hitchcock, which really added to the mini climaxes throughout the film. Haven't seen this type of movie in a looooong time that was as good, as original. Highly recommend.

Homecoming (2018–2020)

1 & 2 are great!! 3rd?

Both seasons, to me, were entertaining and, for the most part, unpredictable. I think this is one of those shows that you either really like or really don't, with not many on the fence.

Flesh and Bone (2015)

Deliciously Twisted

[9/10 · 18 December 2019]

This show is not for the feint of heart. An original, unpredictable, brilliantly dark storyline. You are thrown into this one at 100mph from the get go. I absolutely hated to see this one end...what were they thinking?!?!

K-12 (2019)

Brilliant!

[10/10 · 12 October 2019]

So well done, theatrically and musically. The attention to detail was phenomenal. Genius way to introduce an album!! The most original I've seen!

Hang Ups (2018)

Great show!

[9/10 · 10 June 2019]

Original, so freakin funny, killer cast chemistry. Just so damn good.

Dancer (II) (2016)

Took my breath away

[10/10 · 7 May 2018]

I happen to love dance of all types (big on ballet) which peaked my interest with it being THE Sergei. Best dancer in history, hands down. This is a movie, however, for everyone, not just dancers. I do think those who aren't 'into' dance will be after seeing this doc!

This was one of the most interesting and beautiful documentaries I have seen, and I have viewed a lot of them. The movie was fresh throughout, whereas some docs either start fresh and interesting then become a total yawnfest and stale by the middle.

Sergei's story is remarkable, impressive, one to be shared over and over and over again. He is an icon and legend for his fierce, artistic, poetic, athletic dance first and foremost, but to see where it all started is fantastic.

The final dance literally took my breath away.
