The Summer I Turned Pretty (2022)
10 Stars for S1, Tears for S2
I started my review with 10 stars after S1. The acting, plot and characters were all excellently developed. I thoroughly enjoyed that they were somewhat healthy and mature in their communication while still keeping a "teen" tone. I finish S1 in one sitting. However I struggledddd through S2. It felt PLOTLESS. A ridiculous storyline which was DRAGGGGEDDD on and then suddenly solved in one conversation. The acting & dialogue was poor especially by Conrad... The Steven and Taylor courtship felt annoying and lacked chemistry. And they both wronged Milo and acted like he was the problem.. Meh for S2.
Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
Was going good until...
So I was actually enjoying this movie, even though the stars had zero chemistry. I enjoyed the premise of the plot.
Somewhere around the 1/4 way mark, I felt like the acting and the characters were... Off.
Then around the halfway mark, it just stopped making sense. I can't even go into specifics. You'll see when you watch it.
5/10 but watch it anyway.
The Hustle (2019)
Was great except for...
I thought this movie was going great. Funny, unoredictable, clever....
Until the Lord of the rings scam.
Like...the insane sister thibg was SOOOO over the top, that it wasn't funny. I would have rated an 8 for it otherwise.
Would have rated a 6 if it werent for the great acting.
Love Hard (2021)
Supringsingly good, but...
So I neverrrr write reviews with spoilers but I def had to write this. I did not watch the trailer but I know how all romcoms work. HOWEVER, for the entire movie, I still never expexted the stars to end up together!
They had major "Besties" Chemistry and ZERO romantic chemistry. I just couldn't buy them as a couple.
Outside of that tho, the movie was funny, cool and chill. Enjoyed it!
Nobody's Fool (2018)
Extra Star for Tiffany Haddish
This was like a Tiffany Haddisch sketch. Lol she was thr best character. The movie is okay otherwise, but the main character isn't likeable. I was not rooting for her.
Work It (2020)
Gave it an 8, to stop the hate
Yall be trippin. Yes it has a dance movie plot, cause it's a DANCE MOVIE. LOL and a really charming one. Sabrina Carpenter does an excellent job evolving throughout the movie.
Lizza was jusssst the right amount of Lizza lol.
Human Resources (2022)
I'm Becca
This was excellently executed.
It takes a minute to get into the show but WOW. They must have done so much research. They covered it all.
I felt every part of it.
I was really surprised by the high rating given the specificity of the situations, but I'm glad it was widely enjoyed.
Uncharted (2022)
Lame, lame, lame
I was extremely disappointed with this movie, especially considering the two stars.
The writing was boring, the acting was poor and the characters were so one dimensional.
I gave it an extra star for Tom Hollands body which they did not oversell.
Cobra Kai (2018)
More a 6.5 now
Writing after binging S4 in one sitting.
I really like the show, honestly...
But it's just ridiculous how serious they try to make everything. Like what are they even fighting for at this point?
Marlon (2017)
Surprisingly hilarious
I thought this would be "okay" but I really really enjoy it. I say "enjoy" because I am on my 3rd,and I'm sure not last, re-watxh.
I am pretty impressed with Marlons monologues.
Rhythm + Flow (2019)
Surprisingly good
Was surprisingly enjoyable and I really agreed with most of the decisions. I was impressed with their feedback amd how they kept it real.
Some of it was annoying but some people are just annoying.
Lol Cardi grew on me.
Megamind (2010)
Excellent for Adult Audience
Didn't even think to compare it to despicable me... Honestly, I thought it was more akin to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs with clever, likeable characters and great plot.
Switched at Birth (2011)
Excellent first 2 seasons.
Currently re-watching and the first 2 seasons were just as enthralling as the first time I watched it. Butbanother similarity is that by season 3, I'm struggling.
Definitely definitely definitely worth the watch though. I became extremely interested in deaf culture and ASL because of this show and I'm currently doing a Caribbean Sign Language course.
Kim's Convenience (2016)
Chill, refreshing and enjoyable
I waa really surprised to enjoy this show. I think you have to be of a different culture to enjoy it, but it's very light and funny.
Would have given it 8 stars but I gave it one less because some of the subplots just disappear very quickly with zero explanation...
Resort to Love (2021)
Pleasantly surprised
I really enjoyed this movie. Great chemistry, funny in the right spots, serious when needed.
Not as predictable as other recent rom-coms.
Goooood looking cast and the best side characters!!!! I feel I gave it an extra star just for Janelle's running scene, and the healthy female relationship.
Charlie's Angels (2019)
Not bad at all
I enjoyed this movie for what it was! It was funny and cute with a decent story line. Good acting, not too predictable, likeable characters and the fight scenes were cool. I also liked that things didn't always go as smooth and badass as other action shows go.
Teen Wolf (2011)
Stiles stiles stiles
Watch for Stiles. Boy, girl, animal, place, thing.
Watch for Stiles.
The Lovebirds (2020)
Hilarious!
This movie was excellent. But for specific reasons. Its perfect for non-white couples.
The Good Place (2016)
Watching this WAS the good place.
This show had everything I want and need out of a show and more.
BOUNDLESS creativity!!!
Sarcastically witty
Insanely self aware
Continuously Interesting
Romance, HILARIOUS, flows well
I can't even.
You (2018)
Excellent writing!
Only reason I'm giving it a 9 is because of a fewwwwwww plot holes I realised while re-watching it. So the plot, acting, charatcher development, dialogue and overall package are I credibly clever, interesting and entertaining!
