Villainess Review: Samantha Sloan (Are My Friends Killers?)
Like with most Lifetime films, I learned about Are My Friends Killers? months ago back when it had its original title, Secrets on Campus, and I had been eagerly excited for this film ever since. Yet another gem from Marvista Entertainment, the film opens with college student Lauren Price jogging, until she suddenly collapses and passes on. Her best friend, Zoey Connors, received the tragic news from Lauren's mother, and after the funeral service, Mrs. Price made an offer for Zoey: she would pay for a full tuition for Zoey to attend Woodford--the same college that Lauren attended--doing so in memory of her daughter.

Villainess Review: Paula Carter (First Class Fear)
First Class Fear (aka My Terrorized Teen) is a film I had been waiting for almost a year to see on Lifetime. I had seen so many other announced films get their premiere dates but this one was still up in the air. Finally, this film hit Lifetime, and it centers on Sophie Ellis, an intelligent student with good things headed her way, but it hasn't been easy, as she and her mother, Grace Ellis (a teacher at Sophie's school), have been barely getting by financially. Regarding school, both Sophie and her best friend, Emma Austin, have been dealing with the antics of Carolyn Carter and her clique, as Carolyn had created a website that basically cyberbullied Emma for (in Carolyn's mind) stealing her boyfriend, Jack, from her.

Villainess Review: Lark Embridge (Bodyguard Seduction)
Lifetime was reaching the end of their "Love, Lies, and Seduction" month, and the final weekend began with a huge bang with the Lindsay Hartley-directed film, Bodyguard Seduction (also known as Her Bodyguard). The film centered on Charly Huxton, a successful businesswoman who was the majority owner of Singular Sportswear, and was also coming off a divorce. As we see, Charly doesn't pull any punches, and this is shown when she reprimands one of her employees, Godfrey Lewis, and even when she's conversing with her junior partner, Lark Embridge, who begins to wonder if she has any say in the company she helped build with Charly. Things come to a head when Godfrey is caught on Charly's computer, and as a result, Godfrey gets a pink slip.

Pottel Movie OTT Review: A Casteism Drama That Tries to Do More
A movie coming on Amazon Prime and a police raid happening all of a sudden, we get to know about it from the news only. Yes, guys, once again, Amazon Prime silently brought the Hindi dubbed version of its movie Pottel in a flash, but I didn't know about it; I got to know about it only when someone told me. But does this movie deserve your time or not, let's find out.

Villainess Review: Bree Carson (Aurora Teagarden Mysteries)
I've fully processed the fact that the Aurora Teagarden films are no more, but I still don't like it. I'm a huge fan of all of Hallmark Movies & Mysteries' signature series of mystery films, such as Mystery 101, Hailey Dean, and Crossword Mysteries, to name a few. However, I really enjoyed Aurora Teagarden, and one reason is because the films were based on the novels written by Charlaine Harris, who gave us the Sookie Stackhouse novels that turned into the HBO hit series, True Blood. The main reason is obvious: that series was a villainess magnet. 18 films aired on TV between 2015 and 2022, 14 of them featured at least one villainess, with 15 villainesses appearing overall. Out of the 15 who appeared, I truly believe that the best one from the bunch appeared in the film series' tenth installment: A Game of Cat and Mouse.

Villainess Review: Fran Gibbons (A Dangerous Affair)
Lifetime's theme for the month of August is "Love, Lies, and Deception,", and the batch of films listed under that theme are quite appetizing. The list included this film, A Dangerous Affair (originally titled, Her Obsession), and it centers on Amélie Didot, a Pilates instructor whose encounter with one of her clients, journalist Pierce Dalton, leads to a budding romance. Pierce has gained attention from many women, one of them being another participant, Fran Gibbons, who gushed over Pierce during her conversation with Amélie.

Villainess Review: Grace and Lauren Jenkins (Trapped With My Husband)
I spent over a month looking forward to this Lifetime film, Trapped With My Husband, which was also known as A Killer Behind Closed Doors, a film that centered on fashion designer Melissa Crawford and her marriage to Kevin Davrow. The film quickly established that all is not what it seems, as Kevin is having an affair with a woman named Grace Jenkins, and in addition, Kevin's also planning to con Melissa out of her money. Melissa finds out about Kevin's cheating and cons and plans to divorce him, but that leads to a big problem: they have to live together in the house because Melissa can't kick him out.

Villainess Review: Megan Devereaux (Stolen in Her Sleep)
I had been looking forward to Stolen in Her Sleep since learning about this film back in late January, and as usual, I have my reasons. The film centered on Hallie Reynolds, an artist and the married mother of an infant daughter, Ava, who was born with a bad heart and had received a new one via a transplant. As quickly established, Hallie is on medication to deal with the anxiety that came as a result of her worries over her daughter, as well as juggling her job and motherhood, which has led to her mother-in-law, Lynne Reynolds, offering to help Hallie and husband James Reynolds with Ava. Lynne, well, can be a bit much, but Hallie finds some ease in the form of a new friend, Megan Devereaux, an art PR.

Reviewing a Hat Trick of Villainesses from "Deadly Cheer Mom"
I've really loved that Tubi has been releases these original movies, because--for the most part--they're Lifetime movies that neither the main network nor its sister station, Lifetime Movie Network, have aired (as of yet). The latest one, Deadly Cheer Mom, centered on the cheerleading squad at Bridgebay High School, which had Beth Hartford as their newly appointed captain. It helps (or rather, it doesn't help) that the coach is Beth's mother, Deb Hartford, and we see Beth receive an earful from fellow cheerleader, Ashley, who hurls the nepotism accusations.

Villainess Review: Amanda Roberts (Your Boyfriend is Mine)
One day after I celebrated my 37th birthday, Lifetime delivered with a doubleheader of new films, with the second of the two films, Your Boyfriend is Mine, being the one I was more excited for. We are introduced to the film's villainess right at the start: Amanda Roberts, as she is shown berating James Yates, who had been in an arrangement with Amanda and wanted out. He does leave after Amanda lashed out and stated that she had given him everything, but his freedom doesn't last too long, as he is suddenly stabbed to death by a masked assailant.
