Barbie (I) (2023)
2/10
A Huge Generalization at Best
23 July 2023
What can I say? I went into this expecting at least a few laughs. The trailers didn't even show or come close to reveal the heart of the plot. So here it is: Everything is so horrible and wrong for women today, and most men hate women. Now, as a woman watching this movie, I felt as if I was supposedly being told how much my life as sucked, and how much men have stolen from me. Which is not at all the case. I've had the pleasure of working with men who respect me in a good career, and found the movie distastefully disrespectful of everything I've ever accomplished.

I had a few laughs, but found the movie lacking a sense of real purpose and direction. It seemed as though it was seeking to inform everyone about this new agenda that women should be in charge of everything. Wow, sounds like sexism to me. I'd prefer equality, which is something that we currently have.

Sobering and Impactful
3 July 2023
Sound of Freedom is based on the TRUE story of Tim Ballard, founder and CEO of Operation Underground Railroad. However, this film is not about Tim Ballard, as Ballard himself has said; it's about the 2million + children trapped in modern day slavery. They are worth saving, they are worth talk about! They deserve to be saved. That's why this film is so important. It's a sobering reminder of what's going on in our world.

Please consider seeing this movie.

The makers of the film did their best to capture the topic to the best of their ability, without being graphic. If you watch it, you get the picture. While it's a difficult film to see, it's important for people to understand what's going on.

Tells a beautiful true story
7 March 2023
This movie tells the story of the Jesus Revolution that took place in the 1970s. My Dad actually was actually saved in the 70s, and got baptized by Chuck Smith at Pirate's Cove in CA. After we saw the movie together, I could see how it meant so much to him to be reminded of such a life-changing time.

Jesus spoke to my dad during that time, and used certain people during that time to spread light and love to a hurting generation.

This movie, which follows the famous preacher Gregg Laurie, shows on a deep level how Jesus is for everyone.

There's no person who's too far from Jesus, because He loves everyone so much that He was willing to die for the whole world; he took everyone's sins past, present and future on Himself, and died to pay the price so that we could be forgiven. Jesus just asks that we accept His free gift of salvation, by accepting him into our hearts. This movie is a beautiful reminder of what salvation looks like.

The Recruit (2022– )
10/10
Kept me hooked!
14 February 2023
I loved this show!

The writers did a great job keeping me engaged, and I thought the casting was excellent. I wasn't sure about Noah Centineo at first, but he turned out to be fantastic for the role. I'm not usually hooked on shows the way this one got me hooked.

Every episode kept me wanting to watch the next one. It's action packed, sometimes funny, and overall a great watch. 10/10 would recommend. I'm very much looking forward to the next season.

The show picks up pretty quickly, and is honestly intriguing from the start. The episode length is nice, since there are only 8 episodes in the season.

A Teacher (2020)
8/10
It's supposed to be uncomfortable to watch...
2 September 2022
Watching this story unfold is uncomfortable and sometimes painful to watch, but I think that's the point. I couldn't help but remember what it felt like to be teenager girl who was 17 going on 18. I'm in my 20s now, and realize how much I've aged with experiences and just plain life in only the past 5-6years. I wasn't ready to be in a relationship with anyone who was 30, let alone someone who was in a place of power or a leadership role who was 30. My point is, it's not right for either a teenage boy or girl. And, it's down right irresponsible and abusive for anyone in a place of power to take advantage of a teenager's silly crush or flirtatious behaviors. They SHOULD know better, and take STEPS to prevent it.

I remember crushing on some older guys when I was 17, and thank God, I didn't experience any kind of abuse. I thought I was ready at the time, looking back, I was not. That's what this show is about: recognizing that if we're adults in a position of power we have a responsibility to do better and to be better. That goes for anyone, but this show is highlighting teachers. I love teachers, and think they're awesome. I have friends who do an amazing job in the role. That's because they take it responsibly and seriously.

Season 3, Episode 10
10/10
Please do a season 4!!
9 August 2022
Beautiful episode, with elements of humor keeping with the tone of the show that I love.

What can I say? I've been so thoroughly impressed with the Orville this season. It's been my favorite show this summer.

I really hope they do a season 4, because season 3 has been absolutely stellar.

The Orville: Domino (2022)
Season 3, Episode 9
10/10
Amazing!
29 July 2022
The episode felt like a movie. So well done with some humorous elements placed here and there, keeping with the tone of the show. I couldn't help but tear up in a few places, it was so well done.

This show keeps getting better and better. It isn't Star Trek, it's something epic and awesome all on its own. I love the growth of the characters, and hope for another season. It's a must watch, if you like any kind of Sci-Fi.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Part VI (2022)
Season 1, Episode 6
10/10
Ah! Such a great ending!
23 June 2022
This episode really wrapped up the series well. I enjoyed every minute of it. A great prelude to A New Hope or Rogue One. Not every episode can be as epic as the last.

I really enjoyed all of this show, and was so glad to see certain actors return, along with the most beloved Star Wars music. Brought me back to when I first watched the first 6 movies.

Whether they do season 2 or not, I will definitely be rewatching and enjoying this series again!

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Part V (2022)
Season 1, Episode 5
10/10
Best episode so far
23 June 2022
This episode was great! The show's been building and building, and I've really enjoyed the series so far. The tension with Kenobi and Vader's back and forth was extremely well done.

I think people will always find reasons to hate things, I just don't get it. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Just enjoy it for what it is. Star Wars. Which I love. I'm so happy that they brought Ewan and Hayden back for it.

Obi-Wan Kenobi: Part III (2022)
Season 1, Episode 3
10/10
Yes
4 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I was so excited to see this episode... Vader and Obi-Wan finally reuniting. I loved it. It was great. For those calling the fight scene weak, I don't think Vader was trying to kill Obi Wan. He had every intention on making it count so that Obi Wan could feel the pain he felt. It was very intentional that Vader went easy on him.

I thought the episode was great, and am looking forward to the next three!

I've been waiting for this....
27 May 2022
As a huge fan of the first 6, I just wanna say how excited I was for this to come out. It doesn't disappoint. It's an amazing show.

Props to whoever made it happen because having Ewan McGregor reprise his role as Obi-Wan is just epic.

I'm so glad that the prequels are getting all the love right now, because they deserve it. They were such well done movies with so much carefully placed details that were missed by the critics.

I think this show pays great homage to both the originals and the prequels.

I love this show, and can't wait for more episodes to come out!

Uncharted (2022)
9/10
Really enjoyed this film
22 February 2022
Never having played the video game, I really was looking forward to something light and funny with good action. This movie was all that more. Had me laughing and having a good time. Tom Holland did a superb job along with Mark Walburg and the rest of the cast. I'm looking forward to Uncharted 2!

A FANTASTIC episode
1 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Here's why: This episode tells the story of a young man who doesn't know how to process emotions, and has never been taught to. All he's been told to do is push them down, when there's so much conflict. Padme, is the only person he ever shared a connection with. When he sees her 10 years later, it makes sense that there would be a sense of awkwardness, where he kind of stumbles over his words. I love this story. He begins to try and figure out what to feel, while a growing sense of darkness takes over.

On top of this star crossed lover's story, we have Obi Wan chasing down the mystery of the clones, leading up to some fantastic duels and action. It's a movie I enjoy once every year, along with the other 5 of course!

Cherry (I) (2021)
9/10
Superb
13 March 2021
Coming from someone who doesn't watch these kinds of movies often, I can honestly say it had be crying and feeling the story line the entire time. The acting is amazing from both Holland and Bravo, and that alone deserves a lot of credit.
