The Weekend (2018)
Confused
So... not sure what I watched or why 2 men were competing over being with a toxic black female? Some how we moved from angry black female to cruel and "mildly bipolar" with no filter?
Sheesh.
Mulan (2020)
Good but very loosely based on the animated version
I won't give away any spoilers but there were quite a few changes from the original. It was certainly missing the comic relief. And it had zero soundtrack - which they saved for the credits! I could understand though that some of the changes were because it was "real" life. By why change the family structure?!
They managed to accomplish the awkward edge of a female being around men. And it was successful in the sense that multiple generations enjoyed it ( my 9yr old daughter, me, and my mom). I loved that the costumes and casting was done well.
Watch it - it is NOT as bad as some of the reviewers are portraying.
Fatal Affair (2020)
Eh- not the angle I was hoping for
I watched this hoping it was the husband or daughters boyfriend who would be the crazy one. It wasn't. I turned it off after the BFF came to the job accusing Ellie (Nia Long) of trying to have an affair with her new boyfriend... I mean seriously?! BFF status is a serious position and hers was dumb as a door nail.
I feel like it could have been good but it was just ok. Somehow this "hacker" is also good at watching people sleep after breaking into their house and this guy is so obsessed with Ellie that he waits until what- 20 years to stalk her?! Like c'mon!
Nia looks great. Not sure how it's rated tv -14 lol but ok.
