Slow down on production
26 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
For the most part, I've enjoyed Chris Stokes productions but they seem to be getting worse and worse. I actually like Erica Mena as an actress so of course I wanted to see what this movie has to offer.

It offered nothing. It's one of those movies where you turn it on, lay in the bed and get on your phone while it plays in the background.

The plot has potential but the acting was sub par at best. It just seemed to drag out. I might need to watch it again because I still don't understand how his mothers murder led to him being a murderer.

Chris stokes might need to take a break from producing because his movies are becoming lack luster. All he's doing is rearranging casting from his different films. I'd like to see some fresh faces and better acting.

Harlem (2021– )
8/10
Great Binge Watching
6 July 2023
This is just the series I needed! I love how it's centered around black women and their careers, love life, and family. Of course some aspects are unrealistic but this isn't real life .

I watched both seasons and they left us with a cliffhanger! I love all 4 characters. They each bring something different to the friend group. I often wonder if friend groups like that exist in real life because I have yet to find my tribe.

The only critique I have is how overly sexual Angie is or was. It started to irritate me but I can see how they made her that way to get to where she is now. I love her personality though!

The sex scenes also could've been toned down or completely eliminated in the first season. They really weren't needed. But it seems they toned it down in the second season.

All in all, I enjoyed this series and I'm hoping there's a season 3!

Titanic (1997)
9/10
One hell of a movie
25 June 2023
I've never watched Titanic until now. It caught my interest when I heard the story about those 5 people who lost their lives on an expedition to the Titanic.

I've heard about this movie for years and finally decided to watch it. It's honestly one of the best movies I've seen. I had so many emotions watching it. Laughter, tears, anger, terror etc.

The characters were phenomenal. To think of all of those people who really went through pure terror. I couldn't imagine.

Needless to say, if you have not seen this movie, please go watch it. I had to add it to my list of favorite movies.

Job well done to everyone involved in making this masterpiece.

Swarm (2023)
7/10
A depiction of The Beyhive and The Barbz
19 March 2023
Edit: After reading some of the reviews, I decided to give it another chance. I actually ended up enjoying it. The only part that I wish was different was the ending.

Definitely a good binge watch and it will leave you feeling uneasy. The main character played her part so well that it was almost scary.

The series starts off kind of slow, which is why I stopped watching it but if you can push through the 1st two episodes, you'll be goo to go.

Initial Review: The first episode had me wanting to watch the rest. Then I got to the second and third episodes and was done. I get what they were trying to do here but it was a miss.

The series is slow and weird. Granted, these fan cults are slow and weird but I'd rather brave seen a documentary on these fanatics.

I would like to Chloe Bailey in more movies though.

The main character was weird and got on my nerves. If that's what they were going for, then they nailed that.

Overall, it was boring. So much so that I didn't make it past the 3rd episode. But I always say watch it for yourself and see if you like it.

You People (2023)

Not for everyone
5 March 2023
I was looking for something to watch while doing laundry and came across this movie. Movies like this aren't meant to be taken too seriously. I went in with an open mind. I surprisingly liked the chemistry between Lauren and Jonah.

The movie had its funny moments and let's face it, families like these do exist. As a person who has never dated outside of my race, it was entertaining to see how that situation played out.

I've heard people say, "They would never be together in real life!" That's why it's called a movie 🙄

My advice, don't go into this expecting one thing because you may leave with a different perspective .

Watch it for yourself
4 March 2023
If you're watching orphan kills, then I'm sure you're a fan of the original. I decided to watch the movie for myself, despite the negative reactions from other viewers.

I actually enjoyed the movie. I particularly loved the way Julia Stiles portrayed her character. I always find myself looking up the actual age of the woman who plays Esther. She's so good at her role in both movies.

There was definitely a twist in the movie that I wasn't expecting. The first orphan was better, obviously, but this one will keep you entertained.

I liked the fact that it didn't take too long to get to the plot twist.

My advice is watch it for yourself.

Unhinged (I) (2020)
7/10
Entertaining
7 June 2021
Although some of the scenes were unrealistic, you have to remember this is a movie. Had she just given a courtesy honk in the beginning, the movie wouldn't exist. Russell Crow actually put on a believable performance. This is a good movie to watch on a rainy day, when there isn't much else to do.

What's the hype about?

Not sure what all the hype is about with this movie. I couldn't even stay awake for the whole thing.

Great movie for the little ones! If my 4 year old sits and watches the entire movie, then it's a success! I enjoyed it as well.
