O. M. G. Ladies and gentleman, judges, friends, and family, Pose is the most iconic series I have watched, to date. The cast are all superb and truly make you feel every single emotion that they are emitting as if you are the one feeling that emotion and going through the particular situation. Pose takes us through the late 1980s and early 1990s and shows us, first hand, the struggles, hardships, love, happiness and every day life that the LGBT community went through. Especially in an era when the AIDS pandemic ravaged the country. Every single scene in every single episode is so full of emotion, drama and suspense that almost makes it impossible to turn off the tv. I love how the show not only shows us the fun times of that era but also the sadness and dark times. I’m not going to give any spoilers because I HATE doing that, but trust me when I say that if there is a show that you need to watch, Pose is that show. I wish so bad that I could rate this with an infinite amount of stars instead of only 5 because it deserves so so so many more! I can’t wait for season 3!!!!!

This is a living, breathing example as to why Disney needs to keep the famous, child loving cartoons, just that. Cartoons. I started watching this with an extremely open mind because as a child, I LOVED Winnie the Pooh, but at the same time, I believe Disney needs to leave the original cartoons alone. I could not get over how annoying and obnoxious Pooh was. In a cartoon, that would’ve been cute. But in a real life movie, with the struggles of a real life man, it’s absolutely unbearable. I’m sure there are people who enjoy this movie, but it saddens me to say it is a disappointment in not only my opinion, but also in the opinions of literally every single person that I personally know who has seen it.

Wow. Literally...WOW! Rarely is there ever a show that captures my attention so quick and keeps me glued to the tv until the season is over. The Morning Show is one of those few rarities. First of all, the A-list celebrities did not disappoint in any way. They were all amazing, but the actor who glued me from the beginning was Billy Crudup as Cory Ellison. At first you don’t want to like him or support him, but once you see his motives and ambition, you can’t help but like him! Steve Carrel does an absolutely great job and his ability to be in character of such a dramatic and traumatized man accused of the unthinkable, he performs. Hands down! Jen Anniston really captures the character of the over stressed matriarch of the show and she honestly makes you believe that she is on the verge of a mental breakdown! The acting, the plot, and every single second of this show is addicting and I am counting down the days until there is a season 2!

By far the most amazingly edited season of American Horror Story to date. The REAL goodness starts at Episode 4 in which they begin to give us flashbacks of so many seasons before Season 8. With flash backs from the most popular seasons including Murder House, Coven, and Hotel. I have been an avid watcher of AHS for years, but the editing of this season made me fall in love. I have watched every single episode of every single season and this one, by far, is the best! At the beginning, you’re immediately wrapped into a pre-apocalypse world then immediately transferred into a post-apocalypse world. Then the producers and editors glide you throughout just enough flash backs into previous seasons to bring so many things to life. Before re-watching this season, I didn’t appreciate it as much as I did when I watched it again and so many more things come together and made sense. As of right now, July 27th, 2020, this is by far my favorite season EVER of AHS.

Okay, quick backstory of how I actually found out about this movie. And mind you, I am not a typical person to be able to sit and watch an entire movie. I was watching an older interview between Howard Stern and Hilary Clinton and they both said they loved the movie. So, that same night, I sit down and watched it beginning to end. I literally could NOT stop watching. First impressions: Tom Hanks’ adaptation of Fred Rogers is absolutely remarkable. It seems no matter the role, Tom always goes the extra mile, and then some, to get into character. I read that he watched countless hours of the Mr. Rogers television program; and it obviously paid off. Also, it is worth mentioning that Tom Hanks did such an amazing adaption of Fred Rogers. Everything from how Mr. Rogers did the intro to every episode, to every little facial expression, made you completely engulfed into believing that it was actually Fred Rogers in the movie instead of Tom Hanks. I think I should note: When I went into watching this movie, I was under the impression that it was going to be solely focused on the life of Mr. Fred Rogers. That was not the case. And, that is most definitely NOT a complaint. The heartwarming story of a journalist with so many hard and depressing life issues that so many of us can relate to, is an AMAZING plot. —— Said journalist is put on an unexpected, and, at first not enthused about, assignment to profile Mr. Rogers for the “Hero” edition of Esquire magazine. (Which is completely different from the investigative reporting he is accustomed to.) He is very hesitant at first and at the beginning stages of his interviewing, but with the kind words that Mr. Rogers says to him, he’s able to relate everything said to him into all of the negative situations happening in his own life. That’s all I’ll say, to prevent a spoiler alert, but, trust me, this is an absolute MUST SEE for every family in America. To help us remember how truly remarkable a man Mr. Fred Rogers really was and how it’s so sad to see such an icon and past time be behind us. Especially in the world we live in today.

Okay so I went into this movie expecting it to be a horror film with a fair amount of gore and nastiness. Well it wasn’t that what so ever. I did NOT think the children actors were the best choice they could’ve made especially the little boy because all he did was be annoying and ask a million questions and always wanted to eat. I love the girl actress in It and It Chapter 2, but she flopped in this movie. I normally try to find the best in any situation but I just was completely unable to do it with this movie. And you can read my reviews on other movies. I’m not a negative reviewer by no means.

Okay, so lemme break it down. I love Ru Paul. He’s amazing in everything he does. But the kid who plays AJ’s character is literally the most annoying, obnoxious character I have ever seen in a series. She acts a little too grown up for her on screen age. And imma be honest, almost every time she was in a scene, I’d fast forward through the scene. A few more acting lessons and learn how to not sound so scripted, she’d be better! Something I never understood, which is a minute detail, is how Robert was broke but still always had money to eat at restaurants, feed AJ, stay at hotels and RV parks, and keep an old gas gussling RV full of gas. The bad boyfriend’s acting was a little off for me as well. But other than that, the only other thing I have wrong with the show, is that there isn’t a second season. Because the story line and plot is great. And Ru is an amazing actor. I’d love to see the AJ character more educated in acting and more mature in a sequel to this.

Okay so it’s January 11, 2020, and I FINALLY watched the much anticipated Frozen 2. And might I say, that it was Disney magic at its best. My fiancé is a huge fan of Disney and more importantly Frozen and even more importantly, Olaf. Frozen 2 was absolutely wonderful to say the least. The graphics will blow pretty much any Disney movie out of the water, even Frozen part 1. I couldn’t get over how beautiful everything looked and how everything was so realistic. Now, the songs were not as catchy as the infamous “Let It Go”, that has more than likely haunted parents for the last few years. Well, to be honest, I don’t remember any lyrics from any of the songs. I do however remember Kristof’s boy band styled music video performance, but other than that, no songs stuck out to me. Other than the “angelic voice” calling out to Elsa. Now that sound is indeed stuck in my head like glue. The plot to the movie honestly reminds me more of a dramatic FX genre of a movie instead of Disney. But Disney definitely took that and made it into one awesome movie for the entire family. Everything looked amazing and I honestly stayed interested in the movie throughout its entirety. I definitely recommend taking the kiddos out during the weekend and seeing this!
