Selleobeuriti (2023)
Taking revenge on influencers now?
Overall, Celebrity is typical in its format. We have the world of the rich which is filled to the brim with individuals who will stop at nothing to get their way, and then we have the main character who is different from the rest - determined to hold on to her morals and shield herself from the evil that awaits her.
If you're looking for a light thriller without much depth, then this is the show for you. It doesn't require you to think - instead, it allows you to sit back and watch events unfold as characters descend further into madness and others take advantage of that, securing their places on top.
The Interest of Love (2022)
Great performances and storyline
This is a very well-written show with excellently-developed characters. None of the characters are shown to be particularly good or particularly bad - but as human beings, which is something I greatly appreciate as a writer. The realistic themes covered here will definitely get the viewer to think long and hard about our societal framework and how that can either help or hinder our way to happiness.
Another thing I like is the acting of the main four. Though all of them are subtle with their emotions, they still form distinct personalities which make for great performances overall. Understated acting is perhaps one of the hardest types of acting to accomplish, so I believe the lead actors did a superb job with their characters, being neither overdramatic nor wooden.
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys rich character development and unpredictable, yet realistic outcomes. The best part of this show is how incredibly human the characters are, which is something I believe needs to be shown more in movies and TV.
The Blacklist (2013)
Not everything is perfect.
Okay, I started watching this show in December 2020. It's now February 2021, and I'm already on Season 7.
It's been a wild ride, honestly. Each character is well-developed, and I don't understand where this negativity is coming from. Yes, I get it, the love-hate relationship Liz and Red have is annoying as hell, but it's not headache-inducing. I, for one, am curious as to who is impersonating Red. I want to know what "truth" Liz is seeking.
I think the show is still very intelligent, and so far, I've never been able to figure out the mystery before the characters did. I really enjoy Red's fatherly love for Liz, and my heart warms when she smiles genuinely at him (because she's in the stage where she doesn't hate him). I don't think this show has been reduced to a soap opera like many of my fellow reviewers are claiming. I think the story is just getting more and more complicated.
On a related note, I can pinpoint where this love-hate relationship blossomed from. Many people seem to not know why Liz has an almost split personality, but it's right there if you look.
The first time Elizabeth ever turned against Reddington was when she found out he killed Sam, her adoptive father. This was what started their never-ending cycle of love, hate, love, hate, and love again. If Red hadn't killed Sam, it's likely that Liz would've been more trusting of him, and therefore, her loyalties and her personality wouldn't have been as split as it currently is. It all boils down to this one thing Red did. Because of what he did to Sam, Liz will never not have an underlying distrust for the man who only wants to protect her.
To summarize, any potential they had at having a healthy, honest relationship was shattered because Red ended Sam's life. This is why I'm not very annoyed with the love-hate relationship that is Liz and Red. I can understand why Liz has a tendency to distrust him.
As for the other characters, I can relate to Aram a LOT (I have a predilection for going off-topic, I can be very unsure if my decisions, I'm always asking for advice, and I don't have very good judgement of character). Because of that, Aram became my favorite character on the task force. I love his loyalty to his friends and his willingness to disregard the law and pay for his mistakes if it meant his friends' safety, and I love how he isn't afraid to cry when he needs to cry or be angry when he needs to be angry. His vulnerability only makes his character stronger, and the fact that he's taller (and seemingly more muscular) than all of his colleagues except Cooper is a lovely antithesis to who he is as a person. It's proof that you don't need to hide your emotions no matter what gender you are.
Samar was a brilliant agent who was fiercely loyal to her friends/colleagues, and I love the romance between her and Aram (I really wish the Mossad didn't go after her, and I wish she wasn't kidnapped). I love how she always stuck to her beliefs even when no one else did, and I love how strong of an individual she was before she went into hiding. She was the yin to Aram's yang, so I was very sad to see her go.
Ressler is also a very brave agent who is by-the-book and an honest cop. His adherence to the law and his refusal to break it (no matter how tempting it can become) displays a strength that can be very hard to maintain. Seeing as he went through a horrible tragedy with Audrey (his first girlfriend), it was admirable when he didn't sink to the perpetrator's level.
Cooper...where do I begin? His loyalty to the United States is something any patriotic American wants to see, and his loyalty to his subordinates and friends his boundless. I love his progressive transition from disliking Red to seeing him as a good friend. In fact, out of all the relationships Red has with other characters, his friendship with Cooper is second (his friendship with Dembe is first). I love how he can take charge of any situation, and the way he speaks reminds me of a patriot. It's awesome, seeing him on screen.
Out of all the supporting characters, Dembe has to be in my top three because he is a practicing Muslim. This show has some of the best representation I have ever seen in terms of religion, and I have never in my life seen my religion portrayed PROPERLY. Dembe doesn't drink alcohol, he prays, and he has read the Qur'an. He also can do pretty much anything from cooking to drawing to driving to flying a helicopter. I mean, what can Dembe NOT do? And the fact that Red values him deeply as a friend makes their relationship even better.
Anyways, that's all I have to say on this brilliant-crafted piece of art. I love it! And Agnes is so cute!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 (2011)
I was on the verge of tears...
I've read the books, and the movies aren't without its flaws, but this movie is a damn good conclusion to a wonderful movie series. The casting of Snape and McGonagall were absolutely brilliant, and the main trio matured quite well over the years.
When I was watching Snape's memories, which revealed his true side, I was literally on the verge of tears. The part where Snape is crying and grieving over Lily's dead body is quite a tear-jerker.
That's all I got to say. See you!
Greenhouse Academy (2017)
Some pretty cringe-worthy stuff throughout, but awesome storyline!
Overall, this series is awesome for its concept and plots. But, unfortunately, this series has a number of little cringes. I don't really remember seasons 1 and 2, but in season 3, I felt quite a bit of cringe throughout.
Firstly, the series is very predictable. There are a number of moments where I think, "And this is going to happen now," and then the thing does happen, as predicted. There are many moments where something useless happens, like the time Leo kisses Becca, they date for like, 3 days, and then they break up. That was unnecessary.
They also didn't have to make The Client and Suzanne be in a relationship too. Did anyone notice that? They could have been working together for an entirely more creative reason, like, maybe, payment? Or maybe some other, more complicated reason? The whole reason for their evil doing is monetary gain.
Also, there is too much relationship drama involved. There doesn't have to be so much. This is about a group of kids banding together to save the world, right? Intertwining relationship drama is so stereotypical.
Also, in reply to a user who says the casting and dating is stereotypical, Haley, a white girl, starts dating Daniel, a black guy in season 3. Not so stereotypical now, is it? Also, Sophie isn't white.
Also, I understand why they changed the actress for Brooke, but still kind of a bummer. Why did they completely take Jackie out, too?
Now, for the positives. So far, the plot line is very interesting. I like how it takes 2 seasons to complete one storyline. It raises the suspense level to a greater level. I'm a bit nervous about the ending of season 3 and the start of season 4. Hopefully, they make Leo and Haley survive, but something hints at the fact that Leo might die. They could possibly find a cure at the last minute, but very suspenseful overall. Making two beloved characters die is not very predictable, but it would be very damaging to the series. Who knows? We'll see.
I really like the fact that they killed one stereotype: the nerdy kid is the loser. I like that they made Max an important character and even gave him a non-nerdy girlfriend. That's one stereotype they killed. That's not very predictable as well. I'm a bit sad that they switched Haley's and Brooke's houses. It just doesn't seem right.
That's all I have to say for this series. I'm outta here!
Detroit: Become Human (2018)
Literally my favorite game in the world.
Seriously. I'm amazed by how much hard work was put into this. The soundtrack, the effects, and the story are stupendous. I also like how you are able to make choices that seriously affect the story. Also what's interesting is that doing something in one character's story makes or breaks another character's story.
EXAMPLE: If Markus starts a revolution, then Kara, Alice, and Luther won't be able to cross the Canadian border through border control. On the other hand, if Markus takes a pacifist approach, Kara, Alice, and Luther will be able to cross the Canadian border through border control.
I also love the character depth that this story has. I also think that it is important to look through everything and think through your decisions (hence my earlier example).
EXAMPLE: When Connor gets Hank out of his drunken state at Hank's house, you are able to look through different things in his living room and kitchen. If Connor doesn't find a picture of Hank's son, Cole, you will not be able to survive the scene where Hank confronts two Connors, which also depends on whether Connor becomes a deviant or not.
The game is pretty complicated, yet fruitful, which is why this is my favorite game 200/10. 😂
Ford v Ferrari (2019)
My first racing movie!
I really enjoyed the movie. The racing scenes are awesome and exhilarating. The Ken Miles scenes are funny and enjoyable. I felt sad when he died in the end. The fistfight between Shelby and Miles made me laugh out loud in the theater. I heard some other laughs in the audience. I'm surprised that I understood it, since I don't know much about Le Mans (I'm an F1 mega fan). The scenes with Mollie and Peter are also nice. I especially enjoyed it because I watched it with my dad (another motorsport fan). The jokes are also enjoyable, even if they aren't meant to be jokes. Matt Damon and Christian Bale acted well. My favorite scenes were the ones where after Miles drove a car, he'd go into some mega explaining mode about how the car needs to be improved. He'd say things like "Oh, the steering is too loose," or "The engine needs to be bigger," or "The car is way too damn heavy!" Those made me laugh a lot. I recommend this to anyone 13 and up. Really cool. Loved it.

Air Force One (1997)
I've always liked President-related movies!
I really liked this movie! Honestly though, I think this movie isn't R material, more like PG-13. I think they chose the perfect person the play the President. And, if you treat this like a fun movie and get past all the realistic stuff, you'll enjoy it even more! I would recommend this movie to someone else. I rate 11/10. 😂
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014)
Once again, this series never fails to disappoint.
It seems that as the series progresses, each movie becomes more scary, emotionally hard to take, and more complicated. I like how Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) progresses from a simple girl trying to save her sister to a symbol in a rebellion that could start a civil war. I also liked Peeta's (Josh Hutcherson's) progression in the interviews with Caesar Flickerman (Stanley Tucci) as he slowly tries to warn Katniss to think about what she is doing in terms of being a symbol in a revolution. Each character progresses in a different way, even Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks).
Firstly, I would like to say that the acting is excellent. Jennifer Lawrence makes Katniss's fear for Peeta's life shine. As she sees the interview with Caesar Flickerman and realizes that Peeta is alive, she runs towards the TV screen and touches it. That is a sign that Katniss truly cares about Peeta at that point, which means that Katniss's love for Peeta becomes more real than it was in the 74th Hunger Games. It was easy to tell when the real Peeta shone through. The real Peeta always had watery eyes.
I also could tell that Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman) was probably against Alma Coin, (Julianne Moore) who is the president of the supposedly-obliterated District 13. I was actually second-guessing myself on this fact, because at one point, he seems totally on Coin's side. At other times, he seems to disagree.
I liked the scene where Plutarch tries to convince Effie to stop feeling as if she's a prisoner. That was funny. I totally cracked up when Effie changed her mind by saying, "There isn't a soul in here who knows the first thing about Katniss" after Plutarch told her that he'll have to find someone else to be a part of Katniss's propaganda team.
I also found it funny when Katniss listed her conditions to President Coin, ending with, "My sister gets to keep her cat."
I was very excited when the rescue of Peeta, Johanna (Jena Malone), Annie (Stef Dawson), and Enobaria (Meta Golding) was initiated. I was anticipating Katniss's first meeting with Peeta since his capture, since I read the books first. The scene where Peeta chokes Katniss is MUCH more violent than in the book. In the book, Peeta just puts his hands around Katniss's throat. In the movie, he first shoves Katniss against a glass structure, and she breaks it. Then, Katniss falls to the ground and Peeta attempts to choke her. Because Katniss's face actually turned red, I wonder whether Josh Hutcherson actually had to choke Jennifer Lawrence while filming.
The last scene is scary and emotional the same time. I felt my eyes growing bigger as Peeta tried, violently, to break the straps that held him down while screaming. I felt so bad for Katniss when she was staring in shock at what the Capitol had done to Peeta.
Guide: Recommended for 14 and older, no cuss words, and emotionally hard to take. Peeta screaming as he tries to break free from his restraints might be disturbing to younger kids.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)
Loved it!
As with the other movies, this installment is one of the best so far.
For starters, I love how Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) actually become closer as friends. I absolutely love how Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks) shows her real personality when she says to Katniss and Peeta, "You deserved...SO much better." One of my favorite scenes from the movie is this:
PEETA: You see, Katniss, the how whole friend thing works is that you have to tell each other the deep stuff.
KATNISS: The deep stuff?
PEETA: The deep stuff.
KATNISS: Uh oh. Like what?
PEETA: Like, um...what's your favorite color?
KATNISS: Oh, NOW you stepped over the line.
That's probably the funniest thing in the whole movie. Ever. Another funny scene is the one where Katniss meets Finnick (Sam Claflin).
During the Victory Tour, the poor old man being shot and Katniss's rage at that event is VERY emotionally disturbing, but necessary to add in the movie. It shows how much trauma Katniss goes through.
It sweet when in the train, Katniss wakes up screaming, and Peeta comes to check on her. As Peeta is about to leave, Katniss asks if he could stay with her. He agrees with no question, saying, "Yeah." That's nice.
One thing I could say over and over again is the word "eyes". Eyes tell you everything, and the fact that I could see the fear in Katniss's eyes, the hatred, and the love, too is amazing. If these actors and actresses can accomplish such realistic emotions, they are excellent at their jobs.
I like how serious Haymitch (Woody Harrelson) is when he tells Katniss and Peeta instructions to stay alive.
In the arena, I like the scene where Finnick used CPR when Peeta ran into a force field. That was probably one of the most sweetest scenes in the movie. After Finnick rescues Peeta, Katniss starts sobbing, saying, "You were dead!" She gives him a big hug. It's not disgustingly romantic, but it's the sweet kind.
I feel sad when Katniss and Haymitch's friendship turns into hatred for Katniss when she realizes Peeta was captured by the Capitol, and Haymitch had broken his promise to keep Peeta alive and safe.
I got a little scared when Johanna (Jena Malone) dug her knife into Katniss's arm to get the tracker out.
Lastly, I like how after Gale (Liam Hemsworth) tells Katniss that District 12 had been destroyed, she looks into the camera with shock, which gradually turns into realization, and then into anger. That smooth transition between emotions is a nice touch to the movie.
Overall, I love this movie. It's compelling, and the storyline is, yet again, amazingly true to the book.
Guide: Not too much profanity. Just once use of "sh*t" by Haymitch. Much more bloody and scary than the first movie. Recommended for 14 and older.
The Hunger Games (2012)
AMAZINGLY AWESOME
I'm honestly very impressed! At first, I was a bit scared, thinking it might be too violent and filled with profanity. This is the OPPOSITE of that. This and the other movies are excellent.
Firstly, I love how well Jennifer Lawrence portrayed Katniss. She truly displayed Katniss's love for hunting and her skill at it. She also showed true fear when Prim (Willow Shields) was reaped for the Hunger Games.
Next, after the interviews by Caesar Flickerman (Stanley Tucci), I loved how Katniss really put forth her anger towards Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) after he told the audience that he had a crush on Katniss for most of his life.
I was absolutely in tears when I saw the scene where Rue died. Katniss was very upset, and that emotion was very realistic. I also love how she sacrificed so much to keep Peeta alive after she found him.
Some of the more sweeter scenes were the ones with Katniss and Peeta. When Katniss first found a cave for them to settle in, the scenes following that were the most peaceful. There was a scene when Peeta wanted Katniss's comfort. That was sweet when they simply just cuddled for warmth so Haymitch (Woody Harrelson) would find more sponsors and send them food and medicine. It was also nice when Katniss lies to Peeta about not going to the feast so he could be calm.
At the feast, I also liked how Thresh saved Katniss for her alliance with Rue.
When Katniss and Peeta were scavenging for food, I liked how Katniss was genuinely scared when she heard the cannon, thinking it was Peeta. She ran over and gave him a meaningful hug. That was very sweet.
Overall, the movie was AWESOME. They don't mention Katniss's prep team, Delly Cartwright, nor the mayor's family though. They don't mention Peeta's stylist, Portia, either.
Guide: For ages 12 and over. Only profanity mentioned: "damn" twice and "hell" once. Lots of bodies, but hardly as much blood as I expected. Very straightforward, and very true to the book.
The Starving Games (2013)
I'm sick to the stomach
I was reading the plot, and felt nauseous reading it. It's an abomination of a well-crafted movie franchise! I'm disgusted.

Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)
I LOVED this!!
This movie was really good. Except the first bit. It was SO excruciating, but it was fine. I liked the fact that even though Mr. Bean is pretty much a child himself, he takes it upon himself to reunite a child with his father. He's so different from the animated Mr. Bean (I watched the animated series first).
I liked that Mr. Bean didn't know he was in the middle of a commercial shoot and "saves" a woman, thinking she might be blown up. She ends up becoming friends with Mr. Bean, which is nice.
Overall, it was heartwarming viewing this movie. It shows that Mr. Bean always means well even though he may show a bit of a selfish side. In fact, it WAS his fault that the boy got separated, but though he doesn't realize his mistake, he ends up reuniting the boy with his father at a movie premiere.
In conclusion, I rate this 11 out of 10 stars.
Ben 10: Race Against Time (2007)
I cringed the whole time!
At first, I was excited to see the movie. I am a HUGE fan of Ben 10. I've watched all the ANIMATED movies and all four of the Ben 10 series. (The reboot, though, is not as good as I thought. More like Teen Titans Go!)
I absolutely hated the movie! The acting is cheap, and the script is cheesy. The actors don't even look like their original counterparts. I realize that just about any live action movie based off of a cartoon is going to be crappy.
One part I escpecially hated was when I saw Ben's parents. They were this cliché hippy couple who told Ben to call them by their NAMES instead of "Mom" and "Dad". How stupid. On top of that, Ben's mom told him it because they were "equals". I cringed at that part. In the cartoon, Ben's parents were easygoing, but not hippy.
Grandpa Max didn't even look like the paunchy, wise, and strong man he is. He couldn't even defend himself against Eon. In the cartoon, he survived many falls and hits. He could punch someone and knock them out. He knew how to use weapons, and he saved Ben and Gwen many times.
Now, we come to Gwen. Gwen wasn't even sassy, and more like a bully. Her dialogue in the scene when Ben has turned into Eon made me cringe BIG time. Couldn't she use her powers instead? First, she made this whole speech about how she loves Ben. That was fine. Then she ruins everything by saying, "Don't tell anyone I said the l-word!" How much more cheesy can you get?
It's even more wierd when they make Ben's PRINCIPAL into a secret Plumber. So, so cheesy.
Another thing I didn't like was when they made Ben older than he actually is! He's supposed to have graduated from 4th grade to 5th grade. He supposed to be ten! He looks like he was eleven or twelve. Isn't this supposed to take place right AFTER the series, not one or two years into the future?
They didn't show most of the aliens which was terrible. I loved Four Arms.
Lastly, the ending wasn't even an ending! There was no real action, and I was super upset when I finished the movie. I rate this half a star out of ten. I don't think Ben 10: Alien Swarm will be much better.
