The Good Nurse (2022)

Worth watching

[7/10 · 28 October 2022]

I didn't LOVE the movie but it kept me interested and in suspense, though I knew the outcome. I do recommend it. Jessica Chastain was very good in this movie, as well as the actor that played the killer. There were some slow parts but over all the plot moved along nicely. I always research the true story after I watch movies based on real life stories, and it's relatively accurate. I really would have liked to know more about the killers background- why he did what he did. When you research the real story there's a lot they could have included. But that's my only real complaint about it. Overall a good movie.

Family Food Showdown (2019– )

More like Single Family Member Showdown

[5/10 · 1 April 2019]

I hate that a family member gets cut after the first round and another after the 2nd round. Isnt the point of the show to see the families cook together? So dumb.

Escaping the Madhouse: The Nellie Bly Story (2019 TV Movie)

Good enough

[5/10 · 20 January 2019]

The best part of this movie was the fact that it made me go look up Nellie Bly and try and learn what really happened. The acting was decent and it was entertaining. I am disappointed, after learning what a bad ass Nellie Bly was, that the creators went the "damsel in distress" route. Nonetheless, a good watch for this snowy day.

Dirty John (2018–2020)

Good

[7/10 · 14 January 2019]

To avoid ruining yhings for myself i dont want to research thr real story until season 1 is finished but holy hell was the real woman THAT stupid?! So many cringeworthy decisions made but the show is entertaining and keeps viewers interested.

Friends from College (2017–2019)

Love! Critics got it wrong

[9/10 · 14 January 2019]

I love this series- its so good! I disagree with the critics- the characters are relatable and if i wanted to watch something where all the people are perfect I'd watch reruns of Full House. Season 2 is equally funny/better than season 1 with plenty of laugh out loud moments. Only criticisms are that they made us wait a year for 8 (HALF HOUR) episodes! Realllllly hope season 3 comes sooner

Sweet Virginia (2017)

Slow but kept my interest until the end

[4/10 · 8 October 2018]

I was enjoying this movie until the abrupt, unclimactic, uncreative end. So maddening! My fiance and i sat here for like 5 minutes afterwards coming up with different endings that would have been better...did the writer just give up? Was he bored too? Ugh.
