The Gabby Petito Story (2022)
I made it 11 mins and 36 seconds into this movie
The acting is painful to watch, even for a lifetime movie. Thora Birch playing Gabby's mom? Absolutely, ridiculously unbelievable. The actress playing Gabby is 28 years old and overacting to the point where she sounds like a whiny 10 year old. This entire thing just seems like a quick cash grab to capitalize on this poor young girls story. Her story deserves better than this. Her family deserve better than this. Gabby deserves better than this.
Of all the cheap ways to make a buck... I'd watch it a million times, if Gabby's family were receiving any money for this atrocity, but they aren't. So I won't even bother.
The Conners (2018)
Like a trip through time!
I belly laughed like a dozen times! The emotional scenes were intense and I cried hard.
Jackie and Darlene are still complete fire with their acting and comedic timing. This show is a beautiful gift for those of us who adored the original - yes, I miss Roseanne, but this show does well to honour her and the empire she built. (I'm only one episode in) lol

The Open House (2018)
I wish I had come here first...
I normally read reviews before I commit to a movie. I should've this time. I just scrolled through a crap ton of 1 star reviews that are absolutely justified! I remembered wanting to watch this movie months ago when I first saw the trailer, and when I came across it in my Netflix tonight, apparently I had already started it and killed it at the 12 minute mark the first time.
I should've left it unseen.
What. The. Actual. EFF. Did. I. Just. Watch.
I genuinely believed they were going to have it turn out to be the dad. Some twisted plot that the dad faked his death because he was having an affair with the blonde who told them to stay in the house... financial problems, an affair... as trite as that may sound, even THAT would've been a better way to tie up the movie. The scene where he thought to take the contacts out of the kids eyes was what had me convinced of it.
But.....
No. Ending.
Who does that??
Literally no ending.
What a horrible movie.
