Stagecoach (1939)

They KILLED horses for the stunts in this movie.

[1/10 · 8 February 2023]

SICK-A stunt known as a "Running W" was used to cause the Indians' horses to fall during the sequence where they are chasing the stagecoach. Strong, thin wires were fixed to a metal post anchored in the ground, while the other ends of the wires were attached to an iron clamp that encircled the legs of each horse. A horse was then ridden at full gallop, and when a wire's maximum length was reached--just when the rider was "shot"--the animal's legs would be jerked from beneath it, causing it to tumble violently and throw off the "shot" rider. A rider could anticipate the fall, but the horse could not, resulting in many horses either being killed outright or having to be destroyed because of broken limbs incurred during the falls. The use of the "Running W" was eventually discontinued after many complaints from both inside and outside the film industry.

Love It or List It (2008–2023)

Loved Hillary in RHPS

[8/10 · 7 July 2022]

I love the interaction between the two. Loved that Hillary was in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I also love when they travel to new cities! The back and forth between them is comical yet friendly. Keep the series coming!

Five Star Christmas (2020 TV Movie)

Refreshingly different. My favorite Hallmark Movie

[10/10 · 13 December 2021]

This is my favorite Hallmark Christmas movie! It is refreshingly different than the normal stories. The characters are all so brilliant and so much fun. The chemistry was so well delivered I believed they were really family. Super cute and so much fun! I will definitely watch again.

Spring Baking Championship: Spring Colorburst (2018) Season 4, Episode 1

Host?

[5/10 · 1 April 2021]

I hope Bobby and Jesse weren't available. The new host Ali has none of the pizazz of the first two. Really lost me with the boring host.

Banshee: Half Deaf Is Better Than All Dead (2013) Season 1, Episode 4

Hoon Lee makes this show!

[8/10 · 28 February 2021]

Hoon Lee brings such humor and he is so tough. I love watching his character. What a great friend to get you out of trouble!

Circle (II) (2015)

Not a Soldier

[6/10 · 18 January 2021]

They kept referring to the Marine as a Soldier. Soldiers are in the Army. They also called him GI Joe- also a Soldier reference. He is in uniform and clearly has a name tape stating Marine. Just bothers me.

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Imposter (2016) Season 18, Episode 3

What just happened?

[1/10 · 20 September 2019]

Probably the worst episode yet. This was a far stretch to being a rape. The ending that just crushes the soul.

Life on the Line (I) (2015)

Enjoyable

[7/10 · 11 July 2018]

Travolta needs to do scruffy more often, this was a good look for him. Sharon stone was brave without makeup and she looked younger than in some of her other movies so kudos to her. This was a good movie and I don't know anything about linemen, so I don't know how accurate it was. But there was too much drama and not enough about the story of the job. Good to watch once on a boring Tuesday night.
