"After waking from a four-year coma, a former assassin wreaks vengeance on the team of assassins who betrayed her." -  IMDB    At this point, I’ve seen maybe half of Tarantino’s films going into Kill Bill. That being said, I felt that I was going to see something special when the very intense black-and-white flashback was followed by the intro credits rolling, with Bang Bang playing in the background. So this is definitely a standard Tarantino film: good and unique shots, music, dialogue, and an amazing cast as well. All the pieces to make this a significant addition to the director’s repertoire. The internet definitely loves this movie. There are still many relevant memes and sounds—some I didn’t even know were from this movie. I think this is another Tarantino trope; it’s not a Tarantino movie unless you can get at least one meme out of it. The Japanese elements were a highlight here. The anime segment was a pretty dope way of giving an origin story. Honestly, Uma’s ent...

"At the height of the Cold War, married KGB spies pose as Americans in Washington, D.C." - IMDB   I heard Winona talk about binging the show in an interview once and her enthusiasm kinda convinced me. If Winona vouches for the show, it must be good.  Season 1 I only knew the premise going in, and the only prediction I had was that maybe one of the main couple would be a full KGB loyalist while the other had gotten soft and hoped for a normal American life. That was basically established in the first half of the pilot, but it was a little more than that. Elizabeth seemed to have tried to disassociate from the family part of the job—like building up walls so as not to become emotionally attached while accomplishing missions. Philip is ready to desert the motherland at a moment’s notice and clearly has fallen in love with his fake wife. I thought this would establish some sort of season arc with Elizabeth slowly breaking down those walls, but they started coming down when she an...

"An ancient struggle between two Cybertronian races, the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, comes to Earth, with a clue to the ultimate power held by a teenager." -  IMDB    Here's my lore drop for you: When I was a kid, my dad took us to the Simpsons Movie in theaters - you know, just your classic family film. Afterwards, we illegally waltzed in to a neighboring theater and watched Transformers. I clearly remember watching like more than half the film. My sister and I ended up loving the next movie as well. We watched the DVDs a bunch of times, and to this day, we constantly reference them to each other. Honestly, going back to the first movie now, it's not that bad. Shia LeBeouf is so great and fun to watch. It's always weird when these kinds of movies make humans more important than they actually are. Like who cares about the people in any monster movie? Why is this random teenager the savior of this op alien race? But the action was solid. The comedic l...

The Last of Us is literally my favorite game ever. However, I just really couldn't bring myself to watch the show. As a lesbian, I am all for gay content and characters. Even those in the grey areas like Destiel. Give me all of it. However.... The knowledge of the Bill episode in the show adaption made me homophobic and got me complaining about the gay agenda like a Republican.... So let me explain myself. Bill's town was one of my favorite locations in the original game . Not only did I love the area, but Bill was such a fun character with great interactions with Joel & Ellie. Loved how he rifted off them. Ellie and Bill specifically were hilarious together. Such an iconic sequence. Best quotes. Bill is literally one of my favorite supporting characters that we see on this journey. long may he reign. Through our time with Bill, there were mentions of his partner Frank. It seemed like they did not leave on good terms and there was a lot of tension between them. However, whe...

Fresh off the series finale of Stranger Things, I think many people were disappointed that the final season as a whole just didn't stick the landing. Ending an epic show is extremely hard to do. Most shows fall flat in the end, even some of the best of them. However, here are 3 shows that were good from start to finish with an ending that did justice to the story and all of its characters. Last Airbender  Aang set out to learn 4 elements to defeat the Firelord and that's exactly what he did. The two water tribe peasants became warriors and helped him do it. Full circle. What more can we want? 3 seasons of epic fights leads to the ultimate final battles that are unlike anything we've seen. Aang's element ball of death, the agni kai, Toph turning into the door - the action level actually felt like the end - take notes Stranger Things. An evil regime has fallen and peace is restored. Our main characters experienced a lot of personal growth to get there. Easy. I think what ...
