Mayfair Witches (2023)
Nope. Not having it!
I'm sorry, but Anne Rice's books have been ruined by these shows and movies. They have been ruined by the screen writers who think that by changing the plot and characters that it will make for good viewing. I cringe every time I watch. I tell myself I won't watch the next episode, but like with a train wreck, I cannot look away. I hate that they've ruined the books with the crap that is being shown. Poor AR must me rolling over in her grave. Literally. Nothing in this show is worth enjoying. That makes me sad. And angry. Go read the books. They are far more scary and better written. They have ruined Rowan Mayfair.
Downton Abbey: A New Era (2022)
The Best!
I. LOVE. THIS. MOVIE. I have watched it a couple of times and will probably watch it some more. I cry every time I watch it. I don't know why but I do. I believe it is the best of the Downton Abbey movies. The second one was okay but it seemed a little short. This one, A New Era, takes longer and has a few story lines going. I hope they continue to make some more DA movies. I won't say why they might not but I don't want to spoil anything. Just know that it would certainly be worth it to watch more of Downton Abbey. Julian Fellows, are you reading this?
Ru yi zhuan (2018)
I can't stop watching **SPOILERS**
I used to watch clips on YouTube and then I started watching on Viki. Turns out they're showing it on Prime. Yeeee Haaaaa! So I'm watching it there and even if I've watched it on YT I am still watching it over. And over. What amazes me is the make-up. All those old ladies are really young women in real life. Vivien Wu is the one that I was so totally shocked when I learned who she played. I shook my head until I thought it was going to come off. I could not believe it. This is a great series to watch. I love learning history and about other cultures. This is perfect. The costumes and jewelry are excellent. But for me the most incredible thing about this series is the make-up. If you get a chance, watch it. You won't be disappointed.
**EDIT**
Okay, I like most things about this show especially when Ruyi gets back at everyone who tried to screw her over. What I don't like is how stupid the emperor is. It's almost like he couldn't think beyond the p*$$y. He loved Ruyi but still kept believing she was evil when it was his first wife who was evil. He just could not think or believe in Ruyi. And by the time he finally realized how stupid he was, it was too late. I do want to say that the difference between this show and the Yanxi Palace show is that the evil consort in Ruyi's Love got what she had coming to her. And the one in Yanxi Palace got the emperor. Although, you could say he got what he deserved for being such an effing idiot.
I do love watching the clips where all them bit*&s get whats coming to them.
I rate the whole series a 10 but I rate the stupidity of the emperor a 5.
Father of the Bride (2022)
Mi Gente!!!
I really liked this movie. The acting was great, the music was awesome and the plot was the best I've seen in these movies about the father of the bride. Making this movie was a cultural reminder of how we treat our traditions even though we believe we are being progressive in our future ways. Tradition somehow wins out. I loved it. Whoever doesn't like this movie can go jump in the laguna. Or better yet, go to a Mexican/Cuban wedding and then say you didn't have fun.
xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017)
It was okay.
I don't usually like movies like this but I decided to watch it because I was bored. I actually liked it. Lots of new actors but my fave will always be Donnie Yen. Even though his skills were not really highlighted I still liked the whole idea behind the bad guys really being the good guys. The Hound, Rory McCann - I just love him and I was so surprised to hear him singing gospel. Loved that part.
Gallowwalkers (2012)
Bad
Bad plot, bad acting, bad wigs, bad costumes, bad all around. Poor Wesley Snipes. If they were trying to make this into some kind of artsy film. It didn't work.
Extinction (2018)
AI take over the world? Not this bunch.
I agree with Kellyra85 with all the crying and whining. Those that object to that remark, you will be the first ones to die in this type of apocalypse. Buh bye. It does start a conversation about conspiracy theories, which makes it better. Watch it just for the screams and to see if you can guess what's happening.
