The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again



This film follows sweethearts Janet and Brad, who stumble upon Dr. Frank-N-Furter's bizarre abode. Frank-N-Furter, a sexually ambiguous, flirtatious alien mad scientist, is holding an annual, Transylvanian science convention to showcase the birth of "Rocky Horror" - a fit, attractive man created solely to fulfill Frank's desires. 

This was a really great film that managed to keep a lot of similar ideas of the original while updating some moments here and there. I have never actually seen the original movie I mostly just listened to the soundtrack and fell in love with the musical that way, but when I saw that they were making a remake of the movie I was really excited, and when I saw the cast list I was even more excited. The character of Riff Raff I didn't much care for his voice because I'm so used to the character having this really creepy singing voice so when the version in this film came out singing in a really rock and roll voice I really liked it but it still seemed really off to me from what I'm used to. But besides that, all the songs were done really well and each of the characters was really well done in there costumes and acting. The way some scenes were shown was a little too jumpy for my taste like when they had the whole dinner scene everything just moved around a bit too much. Overall This was a really great film and it had so many funny moments to it and I just really loved it.

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 6 "Dark Waters" Review

The Evil Queen creates distrust between Henry and Hook; Hook is kidnapped by Captain Nemo and held inside his famous submarine, the Nautilus.

This was a very interesting episode that was a little confusing at parts, but it did a really great job at having a pretty solid story. The whole plot of having this anger between Henry and Hook seemed to come out of nowhere in my mind even with the help of the Evil Queen talking to Henry before all the conflict started. It just seemed really odd to me that they had all this anger and conflict between each other and the idea of Hook coming and joining the family and it was only really brought up right now in this episode, that just doesn't work out right in my mind. I really loved them bringing Captain Nemo into the story but I really wish they could have explored his story a bit more then what this episode did because it is such a great story. But instead they connected back some of the loose strings of Hook's story which was still a good idea and I enjoy how they went about bringing Leam 2 back into the story, but I still really wanted more of Nemo.Then don't get why Henry and Hook thought that the idea of keeping the shears was bad because I completely understand why you would want to keep it because when the time comes and there are no other options you can cut her from her fate.      The scene where Snow and Charming went in and broke Jiminy out of Zelena's house was really great but what are they going to do now that Jiminy is a cricket again. Then all the things with Belle, Gold, and the Evil Queen were really interesting and some parts I was not expecting and I can't wait to see what might happen between all of them in the future. Overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait for more.

Pure Genius Season 1 Episode 1 "Pilot" Review

Dr. Walter Wallace, an experienced surgeon with a contentious past, is enlisted by James Bell, a Silicon Valley tech titan, to run his state-of-the-art hospital.

This was a really great first episode that wasn't all that exciting because basically, every part of this first episode was in the trailer for the series so nothing was all that exciting or new but it was still really interesting to see it all play out. I really like seeing the story behind the patient who was pregnant and had cancer, this episode did a really good job with that plot by having the truth be slowly reviled to us and turning the story towards something that I was not expecting. Then watching everything unfold with that plot and seeing the really good turn of events where everything actually turned out okay for her I really loved. All the characters are still really new in my mind so it is hard for me to have a full opinion on them because they don't go into great detail of each of the hospital staff, but with what I've seen of them so far I enjoy watching each of them in their own different way. The design of all the tech and the way everything was shown was really great and well organized. This show did a great job at not prioritizing one of the patient's stories over any of the others that were shown each of the stories got there own little time to shine. Overall I really liked this episode and I can't wait to see what they might do in the episodes to come.     

American Horror Story Roanoke Episode 7 "Chapter 7" Review

In the second installment of Return to Roanoke as the blood moon rises the members inside the house start to feel the growing presence of danger.

This was a really great episode the took out a lot of things in just one episode which was really shocking to me. I was really wrong about Shelby lasting because he barely made it 5 minutes in this episode , but that was still really cool to see that the members of the house are now truly on their own and have no one looking out for them or coming to help. I did really like all the moments with the group of girls being out in the woods and just having them stumble upon terrible thing after terrible thing. Everything with them was done really well in my opinion and it did have some really annoying shaky camera moments here and there but for me there acting jobs kind of made up for that. It was also really cool that in this episode they finally started to introduce us to the real ghosts that Shelby, Matt, and Lee had to deal with and I loved seeing just how terrifying these ghosts were and it was just really nice to see. I did also like the butcher actress in this episode because she was just crazy and really did the most amount of damage in this episode and in some really brutal ways. Then I was really surprised by Shelby in this episode and I can't wait for the next episode to see what might happen to her. I really want to see more of the witch and see what the witch is really like. Overall I have to say I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for more.

Arrow Season 5 Episode 4 "Penance" Review

Oliver and Lyla team up on a secret mission for Diggle. Felicity finds out and disapproves of the plan and opts to stay behind. When Tobias Church launches a deadly assault against the city, Felicity must decide if she wants to send the recruits out sans the Green Arrow.

This was a really great and entertaining episode that had some really great moment to it. Going into this episode I thought it would be all about Oliver going in and breaking Diggle out, which was a part of it but this episode was also so much more. Loved seeing the new Team Arrow working together without Oliver and seeing them in real action their fight scenes were done so well and it was nice to see them do a good job but also not be perfect at it because they are still learning and figuring things out. All the moments with Rory and Felicity in this episode were really great and it was so nice to see them figure out that they should be working together to get over their grief instead of not wanting to see each other because of the pain. Then I liked seeing all the scenes with Oliver breaking out Diggle, but it was a little odd to me seeing how willing Diggle was to follow hi after only one pep talk. And then once Diggle was out he kind of just switched back to being his normal self which for some reason it felt really odd to me. Then the briefcase that Lance was bringing into the evidence room was a little weird scene to me because I feel they should have checked inside the case and seen that maybe the thing could be used as an explosive device. Or at least have the guard notice Church and his group hanging around outside of the station waiting for them to bring the briefcase inside to me that seems like that would be kind of a suspicious thing. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can’t wait for more.     

Code Black Season 2 Episode 4 "Demons and Angels" Review


On Halloween night, Willis, Noa, and Elliott rush to the scene of a fire at a haunted theater, where Dr. Nolan and her boyfriend's son are trapped.

This was a really great episode that going into it I had no idea what was going happen and the episode was a bit of a surprise and really entertaining. The beginning of this episode was really great with Angus walking in on his father and Campbell talking about working on Mike behind Angus's back. But seeing Angus stand up for his brother and reminding them that he is the one who makes the final decision on his brother's health was really cool to see and I enjoyed it so much. The all the moments in the haunted house were really great at not being too long and kind of always keeping me on edge and not really knowing what might happen next. But it was a little hard to care about the doctor and kid as much as they were kind of putting out there because they were only introduced in this one episode so I didn't know much about them to care about them all that much. Noa and Elliott's patient was a little weird to me with how it was shown because it was at such random moments and in the for such little amounts of time that I found it hard to understand what was going on with them. Then Campbell's turn in mood towards Heather are so terrible and just continuously makes me say for him to pick a side because for him to be angry at her for one event and then proud of her of a kind of similar event is just not right and it is confusing and it just leaves me really annoyed. Then the ending where one of the members dies was really kind of shocking to me and I was not expecting the big event that they were talking about in the trailers to be that someone died, and I am kind of still trying to get over the fact that they are gone. Overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode to watch.  

Agents of SHIELD Season 4 Episode 5 "Lockup" Review


As Robbie Reyes struggles to control The Ghost Rider, S.H.I.E.L.D. infiltrates a high-security prison to unravel the secrets that haunt them all.

This was a really great episode that I feel it didn’t have a lot to it but it still managed to be very entertaining and fun to watch. Pretty much all of this episode took place with a team going to a prison and breaking Robbie’s  uncle out before the ghosts get to him. And that was really cool to see and all the fight scenes were really well done, I especially liked the fight scene where Daisy took on a bunch of prisoners by herself. The the part where Robbie came face to face with probably the last member of the group that hurt Gabe, it was very interesting to watch him be all calm and talk to the guy to then have it switch to Ghost Rider and kill the prisoner in a matter of seconds and make all the other rioting prisoner terrified and go fleeing back to their cells. The one part that kind of confused me was the beginning where the couple found the book because was it suppose to be the lady who wants the book now or was it someone else the scene was never really explained and just really confused me. Then all the scenes with Simmons were really great with her jumping through all these hoops trying to not get fired. Then the actual interview the director had was really great with how he spoke and everything. Then I liked how Simmons kind of managed to sneak her way out of having to take the lie detector test in the future. I’m still very curious to know more about the lady who doesn’t really like inhumans I want to know what she has planned. Overall this was a really great episode and I can’t wait for more.
