Switched at Birth (2011–2017)

Great Show

[10/10 · 4 July 2017]

I loved this show from the first Season all the way to the last Season it was amazing. It has a good story line and the acting is stellar. The show is about two girls who got switched at birth by accident when they were born at the hospital. 15 years later they find out they were switched and end up meeting for the first time. The girls get to meet their real birth parents and of course crazy things ensue. The only complaint I have about this is how they ended the show, no this is not a spoiler just saying left it kinda on a cliffhanger. Oh well if you are looking for a good show then I suggest giving this gem a try.

Make It or Break It (2009–2012)

Amazing Show

[9/10 · 23 April 2016]

This show is a hidden gem. It is filled with drama, comedy, and is full of surprising moments. The show follows Kaylie, Lauren, Payson, and Emily as they train for the olympics. Emily is the new girl in town and at first isn't liked especially by Lauren but soon all the girls become good friends. Lauren is a bit of a mean girl while Kaylie is the sweet pretty girl and Payson is the powerhouse athlete. All the gymnastics in this show is amazing and well done. The show has some twist in almost every episode keeping it exciting. I've watched every episode of this show from start to finished and am sad that the show is now over. I highly recommend this show.

The Visit (I) (2015)

M. Night Shyamalan Flops

[2/10 · 19 September 2015]

I was really excited to see this movie since M.Night Shyamalan has been out of the game since Lady in The Water. And boy was I disappointed, the movie was not funny, not scary at all and there wasn't really a big twist like M. Night Shyamalan is known for. All in all giving this movie 2 stars is being generous. There were some jumps in the movie, but only when things popped up. The movie was also quite slow to get started. The characters were unimaginative, and the plot while decent failed to deliver any good punches. I am used to a M. Night Shyamalan to deliver but he did not in this movie. I would say please don't waste you time and/or money on this major flop.

Pet Sematary (1989)

This movie sucks

[1/10 · 13 September 2014]

I am a lover of horror movies I watch them all the time whether they are old or new. But this movie is one of the worst movies I have EVER seen. Scratch that this is the worst movie I have ever seen in my whole life. The story is stupid, the acting sucks, And there is nothing and I mean NOTHING scary about this sad excuse for a movie. At the end of the movie the only thing that was horrific was that I lost 103 minutes of my life on this train wreck. Do not waste your time on this, you will be nothing but disappointed. Beating a dead horse with a stick would be a better use of your time than sitting through one minute of this awful movie. Every copy of this should be destroyed so no one ever has to watch it again.

Legend of the Seeker (2008–2010)

Okay here is the deal

[4/10 · 21 April 2014]

I was so excited to see this show loving the "Sword of Truth" book series so much! But I was so mad after watching the show, this had nothing to do with the book at all. The only thing this show and the book have in common are the names of the characters and that is it for real! The first episode you meet Richard Cypher (the main male character) Kahlan (the main female character)and Zeddicus (Zedd)(another main character) in the book Richard Cyper and the cloud reader Zedd are friends. In the television show Richard doesn't really know Zedd. Somehow Kahlan the Confessor wields dual blades in the television show, and other characters such as Darken Rahl, Rachel, and Cara are all messed up. Darken Rahl is NOT Richard's brother in the book but is in the television show. Cara the mord sith is nothing like the Cara from the book. And how you meet and what Rachel does has nothing at all to do with the book in any way shape or form. But if you imagine that this show is just a show that has the same names from a great book series as a coincidence and its not supposed to be anything like the book then this is a pretty good show.

Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition (2012–2013)

Amazing Show

[10/10 · 28 January 2014]

This show who is hosted and judged by the renowned Abby Lee Miller, along with her other two judges Richard Jackson, and Robin Antin. Have a dozen talented young female and male dancers which are aged six through thirteen that compete every week in different styles of dance, each week one of the dancers is voted off the show by the judges. The children aren't just looking to win the title of Abby's Ultimate Dancer but also a $100,000 cash prize as well as a scholarship to the Young Dancer Program at the Joffrey Ballet School. The mothers push their children to be the best and are demanding. The mothers on this show cause drama just like the mother's from Abby Lee Miller's other hit show Dance Moms. On Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition Abby comes up with ideas and themes for the dances style that week. Some weeks children can do a special kind of challenge that can award them with helpful tools, such as casting who is going to be in what dance that week, or what order the dancers will go on stage. Its a reality game show with talented children, demanding mothers, hard judges, and all the drama that you would expect to ensue. But the show is entertaining and fun to watch. It is quite enjoyable and worth a watch.

Dance Moms (2011–2019)

My Guilty Pleasure

[10/10 · 27 January 2014]

This show takes a look inside the Abby Lee Dance Company who is owned and operated by Abby Lee Miller a demanding dance instructor. Abby has her competition team which go away and compete in competitions every week, usually winning. Her team consist of Chloe Lukasiak, Nia Fraizer, Kendall Vertes, sisters Brooke and Paige Hyland, Sisters Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler, and sometimes replacement Payton Ackerman. The moms push their daughters in competitive dance, Abby plays favorites with Maddie Zielger which drives the other moms crazy. There is a lot of drama going on between the mom's Abby and sometimes they add Cathy Nesbitt-Stein to the mix. Cathy owns the Candy Apple Dance Studio, which is Abby's rival. Its a show that has a lot of drama between the mothers and Abby but the dancers are sweet, talented, children. I don't know why but I just can't get enough of the crazy Dance Moms.

King of the Nerds (2013–2015)

Great Show

[8/10 · 27 January 2014]

In King of the Nerds different nerds compete to win the title of King of the Nerds. This is a reality game show. The show is hosted by two guys that are just awful but the nerds, are lovable, sweet, smart, interesting, and fun. Each week the nerds must compete in a Nerd War or Nerd Off and each week someone is eliminated and sent home from Nerdvana which is a nerd's dream home, where all the contestants stay. The Nerds Wars require the nerds to put their nerdy skills and knowledge to win. At the end of the season one of the nerds is crowned King of the Nerds, and the winner of the season. This is a reality game show, but is quite fun and entertaining and that makes a good show. I would recommend this show I enjoy watching it and think that everyone should give this show a shot. This is not like most reality game shows, which is probably why some people love it and some hate it maybe they were hoping for more drama filled shows, or maybe you enjoy that it is a different take on reality game shows. This isn't like Beauty and the Geek or Big Brother where they shove a bunch of people together to watch them fight. This is smart people using their skills to do actually interesting competitions.

Orphan (2009)

My View

[9/10 · 2 July 2013]

When I got this movie as a gift I was not looking forward to another dull, not scary, lame, "horror" movie. But I was surprised by how good this movie was, I enjoyed the movie. Its about a family a recovering alcoholic mother, a father, and their two children their teen son and hearing impaired young daughter that adopt a 9-year-old girl names Ester from an orphanage. Ester is a talented artist, that seems to fit in the family and get along with her siblings then Ester starts to display some strange behavior the mother starts to think something is wrong with Ester, the father thinks its Ester just adjusting. Who is right? And what is really going on with Ester?
