How's everyone holding up in the quarantine? I, for one, have been spending a lot of time watching movies and television shows that I love and discovering new ones to keep me entertained and help feel less bummed about these terrifying times. I find it a lot better for my mental health to limit the… Continue reading Quarantine Movie & TV Recommendations: The Amazon Prime Edition
I try to focus on reviewing entertainment created by or starring women, and I don't think there is a better example of poignant storytelling, intelligent dialogue, and biting humor than RUSSIAN DOLL. The show is equal parts HAPPY DEATH DAY for the underlying plot points and humor, BLACK MIRROR for its morality and supernatural elements,… Continue reading TV Review: Russian Doll
For those of you that may be wondering what Facebook Watch is, believe me when I say I was once like you. I know what you may be saying, ANOTHER MEDIA STREAM I NEED TO BE KEEPING UP WITH?! WTF?! The bad news is, yes it is. The good news is, that it actually is… Continue reading TV Review: Sorry For Your Loss
So far, this season of American Horror Story is really interesting and fun. With every new addition to the Freak Show cast, the show gets more and more entertaining... and weird. From the Ethel to Ma Petite, I have yet to find a weak link. Each character is incredibly multi-layered, an aspect missing from Coven.… Continue reading American Horror Story: Freak Show Recap “Massacres and Matinees” (Season 4 Episode 2)
The fourth installment of Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story anthology, Freak Show, has begun and just one episode in, my biggest fear has reared its ugly head: clowns. But regardless of how scary the killer clown is, Freak Show is already so much more than a “scary” show. It is a mirror of society, showing… Continue reading American Horror Story: Freak Show Recap “Monsters Among Us” (Season 4 Episode 1)
I’m single and have no kids, yet that didn’t stop me from enjoying FX’s new half-hour dark (read: very dark) comedy Married. Starring one of my personal favorite actresses, the grossly underrated Judy Greer (13 Going On 30), and Oscar winning writer Nat Faxon (The Descendants), Married follows a married couple that have become lost… Continue reading TV Review: Married
Phew! The season finale of The Americans was quite a blood bath. Three (possibly four, if you count what will probably happen to Nina) supporting characters died, Stan chose country over "love", and Emmet and Leigh Anne's murderer was revealed! We are also left with quite an interesting plot for season three, the conflict between… Continue reading TV Review/Recap: “The Americans” Echo (Season 2 Finale, Episode 13)
It seems the theme to tonight’s episode of The Americans is trust, an important element of the spy business. On one hand, Jared has to trust that Elizabeth has his best interests at heart when she tells him he is in danger and needs to disappear; Nina has to trust that Stan will commit treason… Continue reading TV Review/Recap: “The Americans” Operation Chronicle (Season 2 Episode 12)
Tonight's episode of The Americans was pretty fast-paced. It looks like we are really building toward an exciting finale and I cannot wait to see who lives and who dies. Will Larrick continue to get away with murdering everyone on the show (Jennings children beware!) or will Phillip and Elizabeth take him out? Also, has… Continue reading TV Review/Recap: “The Americans” Stealth (Season 2 Episode 11)
With the success of Martial Eagle last week, it's time for the Jennings to get into some new trouble. Proliferation of stealth technology is still the underlying "theme" of the season, but Phillip and Elizabeth again have to get their hands dirty in the Afghanistan issue. I'm just sad Phillip's Texan alter-ego (from the first… Continue reading TV Review/Recap: “The Americans” Yousaf (Season 2 Episode 10)
