Chrissy’s Court is a court show where Teigen gets to play the role of a judge with no law experience whatsoever presiding over real small claims cases. I had initially skipped over this show because I’m a die-hard People’s Court and Judge Mathis fan. I take court shows very seriously. I know the genre and I know what to expect. While I wait for Roku to release the rest of the Quibi library, I thou...

Wrath of a Man is an action thriller directed by Guy Ritchie. The film follows H, an undercover cash truck driver, on a mission to find his son’s killer. This is a way better description of the movie than what the IMDB has. You know what IMDB has? The plot follows H, a cold and mysterious character working at a cash truck company responsible for moving hundreds of millions of dollars around Los An...

Without Remorse is an American action thriller loosely based on the 1993 Tom Clancy book of the same name. The story follows John Kelly (dang that’s a bland ass name), a navy seal hellbent on seeking justice for the murder of his wife and unborn child. The further he digs to find the truth he discovers a covert plot that could incite a war between the United States and Russia. So, I watched this w...

This is a much needed upload. The Moon Lee Action Series used to be on YouTube, but it was lost some years ago. I watched this action series and it made me fall in love with Hong Kong Cinema. Moon Lee is an underrated female action star that people don’t really know about. At one point in her career she was the most popular and sought after action star. A filming accident would cause her to leave...

I’m coming at this review as a fan of the game, fan of Hong Kong cinema, and as a martial artist. As a fan of Hong Kong cinema I expected so much more from this movie. I was born in the 80’s but I’m a child of the 90’s and that was the era where great martial arts films were being imported from Hong Kong. I grew up on films like Millionaires Express, Once Upon a Time in China, Iron Monkey, Wing Ch...

Why Did You Kill Me is an American documentary that follows Brenda Lane as she tracks down those involved in the murder of her daughter Crystal Theobald using myspace. That alone is a crazy premise right? While I was doing my usual perusing through Netflix’s catalog, I stumbled on this gem. I was intrigued so I delved right in. The opening of the film’s stinger is a powerful reenactment of the the...

A group of misfits band together with Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes to solve a series of supernatural events in Victorian London. I started watching The Irregulars by accident because I needed some background noise while I was working. Eventually I started typing less and paying more attention to the show. After a while, I was like okay okay it’s time to give this my full and undivided attention...

This review is gonna be short and sweet because I don’t really have any skin in the game in terms of attachment to characters and monsters. I’m usually watching a monster movie because my husband is super into them. I think one of the monster films I’ve seen with him, Mothra (1961) is my favorite. That being said, let’s jump into my review. Movie Complex - Netflix TV Show Playlist https://www.yout...

Moxie is a coming-of-age film about a young high schooler named Vivian who is inspired by her rebellious mom and confident new friend to create a feminist zine to call out sexism at her school.

The final episode! Whooohooooo! Bloom finally gets to meet Rosalind face to face, and possibly get some of her burning questions answered (no pun intended). Another question answered, but another question raised. We figure out that the burned ones want Bloom gone because she is a very powerful fairy that could exterminate them. Makes sense why the burned ones are drawing closer and closer to the s...

In this episode, Beatrix reveals more of herself to the headmaster Dowling and Silva. She appears to be more sadistic in nature, but to me, it just comes off as being a brat. I don’t feel scared when she has personality mood swings, or when she tries to verbally intimidate Dowling and Silva. The scene looked reminiscent of Silence of the Lambs, but I’m sure the studio in charge didn’t want it to f...

Episode four got a little bit more interesting… Finally I started to get my questions answered. Everyone’s motivations are starting to reveal themselves. The teachers are finally on Beatrix’s trail of breadcrumbs from killing the headmaster’s assistant (Spy). Bloom is on the cusps of finding answers to her identity. The only real tension in this episode was the teacher’s fear that a killer is amon...

Yet another competent episode. None of the episodes so far have dazzled me and we’re halfway through the season.

In Below Zero, a prisoner transfer van is attacked. Now the officer in charge must fight those inside and outside while dealing with frigid temperatures. This is a Spanish thriller that gave me vibes of Speed, Swat, and The Red Dot.

Episode two of Winx Saga kicks us off with a quick school lesson on how the fairies harness their powers. Bloom of course sucks and gets really frustrated at her lack of skills. I find that incredibly silly because it’s impossible to master something you just learned on the first day. Anywho, Stella and the other characters come together to find Stella’s royal ring that Bloom lost in episode one....

All My Friends Are Dead is a Polish horror-comedy about what happens to a bunch of friends during a New Year’s Eve party.

Fairies attend a magical boarding school in the Otherworld, where they must learn to master their magical powers while navigating love, rivalries, and the monsters that threaten their very existence. Winx Saga is based on the Nickelodeon animated series Winx Club. I only know about this series because of my niece who made me watch this series on several occasions. Since Netflix has been shoving th...

Red Dot is a 2021 Swedish thriller about a couple who decide to go on a hiking trip to rekindle their marriage. They find themselves fleeing for their lives in a bitter cold wilderness from an unknown shooter. I don’t’ know why but I always find myself watching these movies in English and realizing that the actor’s mouths aren’t in sync, going into the menu, finding out the original language, and...

The Call is a South Korean thriller about two people from two different time periods who are connected to each other by telephone. As the two become friends, the effects of their friendship become irreversible. I got interested in this film as I was perusing through Nextflix titles to watch when I stumbled on The Call’s trailer. The trailer had me hooked, so I decided to watch it. The story center...
