Maid (2021)
Shows just how broken the system is in the USA
The story line shows how domestic violence doesn't have to be "physical" in order to be considered abuse which is incredibly important. The writing also tackled "judgement" of abused women and their willingness to leave the abuser. The line in which Denise (the women managing the shelter) says that it typically takes women 7 tries before they actually leave the abuser was incredibly moving. This is a very powerful show with an incredibly important underlying message. It was created with grit, and substance. MQ does an incredible job in this role. The creators, writers and actors should be very proud.
Well done!
Physical (2021)
I hated myself after watching
We didn't have the internet in the 80's and therefore didn't have to judge ourselves to "filter selfie standards" which is why this show completely misses the mark. We had sweating to the oldies and Olivia Newton johns let's get physical.. but NO ONE judged or hated ourselves like the narrative in this show. After episode 3 I had to stop... just self hatred at the highest level regardless of your weight. What has happened to the world where we can legitimately tell ourselves that this is funny, entertainment or even ok?
After Life (2019)
Can't get this show out of my mind!!!!!
I binged this show 4 days ago and I can't get it out of my mind! Incredibly original in the most human way possible! Characters are original and you will be left feeling as though you know all of them personally. This show is brilliantly written and directed with a fantastic soundtrack! Yes, it is focused on Tony and his journey Of him just trying to make it through one day at a time. But during his journey I found myself falling in love with everyone Tony comes into contact with.
Ricky Gervais crying will rip your heart out in the best possible way!! His acting is award winning!!!! Sit back, turn down those lights, and get ready to be moved in all the best ways!
The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984)
Roberts was SO annoying! BUT.. just watch
Okay here is my take..
Premise... awesome! I was in from the start.
Story.. original.. again I'm in!
Actors/Actresses.. please God, stop Eric Roberts!
Overall.. just watch it
Road House (1989)
That hair tho
Okay.. so truth be told, the movie is not very good. Although for the time and generation it's a classic. I can't even believe I am reviewing this right now being that I am in my 40's and watching it right now.. just know that growing up in the 80's I'm positive my father went to the barber requesting the "swayze" haircut! Patrick Swayze was a terrific actor in literally every movie he appeared in.
Paddleton (2019)
Sometimes you happen upon a little Gem like this!
From the start of the film I was hooked, what is going on here? Is this a comedy? As I keep watching I noticed that this film is making me "physically feel something" I found it to be absolutely incredible! You know something is good when if your still carrying it in your mind long after it's over. And that is what this film did for me. I loved every second, and am still thinking about it days later! It's not an action thriller, it's not a comedy, it's not a horror, it's literally ALL of those things just in a different perspective.
