Game Changer: Escape the Greenroom (2023) Season 5, Episode 9

My favorite episode so far

[10/10 · 17 February 2024]

That was absolutely hilarious. I love how all 3 just immediately turned on sam and Brennan and Lou just instantly resorted to smashing stuff. You could see Lou was ready to break stuff the second he picked up that guitar. The puzzles were actually really well thought out and the all over theme was dope. They couldn't have picked a better group of people for this one. That was my review, now to fulfill the character limit.

It was fun to see how much fun Sam had with this one and what a good sport he was at the end when he let everyone pour water on him. Props on the voiceover too Sam that was great.

Shrinking (2023– )

My favorite show in years

[10/10 · 31 October 2023]

This show is a perfect mix of comedy and drama. I've watched it 3 times in just a few months because of how much enjoy it every time I start it again. I just finished watching the third time and honestly just want to start it again.

My mom died a few years ago and I think the drama aspect of the show absolutely nails so many parts of losing a mother, grief, and how to live after loss. The comedy they mix in is absolutely hilarious and makes for perfect relief. I also think they did a great job with the music which always fits the tone of the show.

Finally the actors are all perfectly cast. Jason Segel, Jessica Williams, and Harrison Ford are so good in this show. I've never seen Jessica Williams in anything before this and she has become one of my favorite actors. Really nice to see Christa Miller in something again too. She plays a great snobby, nosy neighbor.

10/10 would recommend.

The Conjuring (2013)

Just wasn't very scary

[5/10 · 2 August 2022]

I love a good horror movie, but this didn't do it for me. I don't understand how this was so highly rated. I do think the acting was pretty good and overall fairly convincing, but the story was just sort of dull.

Mythic Quest: Everlight (2021) Season 1, Episode 11

Wow that was epic

[9/10 · 24 July 2022]

I was not expecting this episode to be so epic. Absolutely crushed it on the finale. Danny Pudi cracks me up and plays Brad so well. The episode sort of reminded me of good episode of community.

Mythic Quest: A Dark Quiet Death (2020) Season 1, Episode 5

All star cast

[10/10 · 21 July 2022]

Don Cheadle and Tiger woods in the same episode? Absolutely amazing. Sunny jokes aside, this episode is amazing and there were do.many awesome castings.

The Magicians: Six Short Stories About Magic (2018) Season 3, Episode 8

Wow amazing episode

[9/10 · 14 March 2022]

Extremely well put together episode. Awesome style. One of my absolute favorite episodes. The part where everything was dead silent was cool, but gave me anxiety haha.

The Magicians: A Life in the Day (2018) Season 3, Episode 5

Good episode but not the best

[8/10 · 13 March 2022]

I was hyped to watch the episode that everyone rated so highly (probably shouldn't have looked up the ratings ahead of time), but honestly it wasn't nearly my favorite episode even in the third season so far.

Invincible (2021– )

Excellent show

[9/10 · 4 September 2021]

I really liked the show. There was a weak episode or two, but solos throughout. The ending was cool and fun to watch, but not what I was hoping for at all. Worth your time IMO.

Invincible (2021– )

J.K. Simmons rules.

[9/10 · 22 June 2021]

I wish he voice acted for everything ever. He is also great in palm springs since this review is too short.

The Dark Tower (2017)

Glad they made it

[8/10 · 24 May 2021]

Could have been better, but at least they tried. Wish the series got made and released. Please someone pick up this story. It's so epic.

Tenet (2020)

The big meh

[5/10 · 13 May 2021]

I was honestly so bored most of this movie....the story wasn't gripping at all in my eyes. Interesting idea, but horribly boring in it's execution. Props to the acting at least.

Green Room (2015)

It sucked

[3/10 · 3 May 2021]

I don't understand how anyone lives this movie and much less rated it so highly. It was actually really terrible.

How I Met Your Mother: The Locket (2013) Season 9, Episode 1

Hilarious

[10/10 · 28 April 2021]

Yeah season 9 mostly sucked, but I love this episode. So many hilarious bits.

Mortal Kombat (2021)

Kano is hilarious

[8/10 · 24 April 2021]

The rest is pretty good too and exactly what you'd expect from the previews.

Galavant (2015–2016)

So much to love

[10/10 · 16 April 2021]

Amazing acting, even better singing, and the comedy is so on point :) I wish these actors were in more stuff.

John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)

Still good

[7/10 · 19 March 2021]

It's not as good as the original or even the second, but it's still a solid action movie.

John Wick (2014)

It's just so damn good

[10/10 · 19 March 2021]

I loved this movie the first time I watched it, but you know it's good when you come back to it the 10th time and are still excited to watch it again.

Hannibal (2013–2015)

Best show I've ever watched

[10/10 · 16 January 2021]

Mads Mikelsen and Laurence Fishburne at their peak in my opinion. Amazing supporting cast. Extremely well written and beautiful cinematography and music. The cooking scenes are breathtaking and creepy at the same time.

The Babadook (2014)

This movie is brilliant

[9/10 · 16 January 2021]

The combination of horror and drama is superb. I've come back to this movie several times and you should give it a try if you never have before.

The Hustler (2021)

Cool idea

[5/10 · 13 January 2021]

Not in love with the execution of the show. They literally got one of their own questions wrong. Natalie Portman went to Harvard and got a Psychology degree.

The Mandalorian: Chapter 14: The Tragedy (2020) Season 2, Episode 6

What is this writing?

[1/10 · 6 January 2021]

Jet packs to the top in seconds at the beginning. Makes allies with the people who ask him to drop his jetpack and the empire attacks with their endless troops. Instead of putting his jetpack and using it to fight and fly back up he slowly runs back. Cheap plot device and honestly once again. Just have him lose the right to the robots and keep some semblance of a realistic story.

The Queen's Gambit (2020)

Wish they showed the chess more

[7/10 · 5 January 2021]

I thought the beginning of the show was a bit too out there and weird. It picked up after a bit and was quite good in the end. The saddest part to me is that they didn't take their time to show the chess boards more. Someone who is extremely gifted at chess might be able to catch on and keep up with it from the angles they show, but I found it hard to follow the chess most of the time (which is what I was hoping for most in the show).;

Your Highness (2011)

So funny

[8/10 · 4 January 2021]

Unrated version recommended. You gotta love silly over the top humor to enjoy it though.

The Mandalorian: Chapter 4: Sanctuary (2019) Season 1, Episode 4

Weakest episode so far

[3/10 · 29 December 2020]

Why not blow up the Walker with your spaceships, why not use the explosives on the Walker when you sneak in instead of dragging it back to a camp full of people with sticks. Hope they keep the style of the first couple episodes. The imperial solider lady was cool at least.

Legion (2017–2019)

First season was great

[6/10 · 27 December 2020]

The first season was so great. I felt the second season was a disaster though. Some cool concepts and cinematography, but the plot was so lame.
