Crown Vic 2019 - is an action thriller film.. about a seasoned police officer who is paired with a newbie.. hitting the brutal city streets.. in search of two cop killers .. along with trying to just ride out the night and stay alive during their shift.. However the streets are not all they end up having to deal with.. much more drama than I definitely bargained for but overall I think it was a good representation of the brutality in and around being a police officer.. not to mention .. I don't doubt there are good and bad police officers..  after all there are good and bad people everywhere..  I know the film met with mixed reviews.. but I thought it was intense .. and emotional.. Let me know what you think

The show starts as the wife of a village warrior Baba Voss (Jason Momoa) gives birth to twins.. (who can see) .. something that has to be hidden so as to protect the children.. It would be impossible to say much more other than this..  it's a very well done series.. with an outstanding cast.. and gripping story line.. I love it.. and definitely see the series as growing in popularity  .. in many respects like that of GOT, Outlander and other binge worthy series.. "SEE" is well worth watching .. TRAILER

Servant 2019  is a psychological horror series for Apple TV.. and has already been sighted to be renewed for a second season.. I can honestly say this series reminds me of American Horror Story in a way.. It is scary and yet engrossing from start to finish.. a thriller that has just the right amount of creepiness.. The series starts out with a couple who after suffering a traumatic loss of a infant.. is awaiting the arrival of a nanny for their reborn baby doll.. that the wife has seemingly adopted as her own child.. in order to survive the loss .. extremely sad.. and yet within just a short time the nanny (servant) appears to have performed some sort of voodoo ..  I definitely don't want to say anymore..

Where'd You Go, Bernadette 2019 is a comedy film in which Cate Blanchette plays a agoraphobic architect and mother named Bernadette Fox.. Bernadette was an outstanding and award winning architect and I won't give away the reason that she somehow lost herself.. but when she goes missing after being confronted with an intervention of sorts .. her daughter and husband end up going to find her .. the story is not only funny .. but charming and tugs at your heart strings.. Definitely loved the mudslide..  LOVED it.. definitely a must see film...Movie Trailer



Charlie's Angels 2019  is a action comedy film directed by Elizabeth Banks.. It is the third installment in the Charlie's Angels film series.. and a continuation of the story that began with the Charlie's Angels series.. I had some reservations about watching the new film but I did .. simply because I grew up on the original angels.. and loved the series.. and movies.. however I was somewhat disappointed simply because it was like most sequels that never live up to the hype ....
I really enjoy Kristen Stewart in the Twilight films but in this film she didn't win me over .. I did however think that Ella Balinska did an excellent job as a real badass angel.. and the third angel was Naomi Scott who plays a new recruit.. The film has of course some action sequences but just lacks in the charm of the original angels.. However at the end there is some references to the original angels.. and if you're a true angel fan.. you will still love it.. just because it is a sequel and it is always fun to compare films I think.. Happy watching and let me know what you think of the newest sequel.. Movie
