Villainess Review: Holiday Telefilm "Grinches"
A thought I've had for a few weeks now: The Grinch needs to be gender-flipped. We are almost in 2022, yet nobody has even thought of gender-flipping the iconic Grinch. That surprises me. Don't get me wrong; I enjoy the Grinch adaptations as they are, but a female Grinch would be epic. Since we have yet to see an actress take on the Dr. Seuss creation, I'll just discuss some female Grinch-types who have taken center stage in a few telefilms. That sounds like a fair compromise. As I've said before, even the holiday films aren't safe from villainesses, and here are three amazing examples.

Villainess Review: Bethany Robertson (Christmas Catch)
I do love the holiday season for many reasons. Family, festivities, awesome gifts, TV specials, special sports games, you name it. We also get our share of holiday movies as well; even Lifetime gets into the holiday spirit with over a month's worth of sweet-natured holiday films. Now, Lifetime's holiday films rarely have anything resembling villains, and regarding female baddies, they're even fewer and far in between. I have learned in recent years that the holiday films that open the door for a semblance of "good vs evil" are usually found in other networks, with one recent example being Tubi's original film, Most Wanted Santa. Another example is the subject of this story, Christmas Catch, which aired on UpTV.

Villainess Review: Kristen Cargill (Dangerous Snow Day)
I was very excited for this Lifetime film, Dangerous Snow Day; the reason is obvious, but I will get to it. This film centered on Maggie Ford, who worked as a nanny for the wealthy Cargill family. We see geniality from couple Kristen and Frederick Cargill, with the latter giving Maggie a necklace as a gift. At that moment, Maggie announced that she would be leaving as their nanny, as she was focusing on her education, drawing what seemed like panic from the Cargills, mainly Frederick. Kristen voiced her own assurance that she could care for the kids, only for Frederick to shoot that down quickly. All right, then.

Pushpa 2 Reloaded Version Explained
Everyone must have come to know that the new Reloaded Version of Pushpa 2 has come in theaters but no one knows that that extra 20 minutes has changed the entire story of the film. A total of 14 new things have been found, which will change the entire calculation of the upcoming Part 3 of the film in every way. I will tell you everything one by one. By the way, those who have not seen the film yet, then this topic is of no use to you. First, watch the film, and then you will understand what is the real meaning of these extra 20 minutes.

Villainess Review: Julie Cameron (A Mother's Fury)
I learned about this movie this past summer when it was originally titled, Snatched From Mommy, and I was elated when I saw that it would finally see its Lifetime exposure under their manufactured title, A Mother's Fury. Lifetime film vet Chelsea Hobbs was back at it again, this time as main protagonist Elizabeth Daley, a famed crime writer, as well as a married mother of an infant son, Evan. She also has a pair of good friends alongside her, Julie Cameron and Kate Winters (the former expecting a child of her own), and they celebrated their friend's continued success as not only a writer, but a blogger as well.

Villainess Review: Jordan Smith (Waking Up to Danger)
On the same weekend that gave us Malicious Motives and You're Not Safe Here, Lifetime delivered once again with this film, Waking Up to Danger, which kicked off the month of August. The film's central protagonist was Arianna Moore, though the opening minute clearly establishes that someone is out to get Arianna, as we get the ominous scene of a hooded and gloved figure cutting out Arianna from various photos of the Moore family, which also consist of husband Rick and young daughter Isabella. That same figure appears later on and tampers with Arianna's brakes, and shortly afterwards, Arianna gets behind the wheel and crashes her car.

Villainess Review: Valerie Hudson (A Professor's Vengeance)
Lifetime Movie Network's "Homecoming Week" ends with this film, A Professor's Vengeance, which centers on grad school student Nicole Atkins' attempts to move on from her past affair with married professor Daniel Hudson. The quest is made difficult when Nicole ends up taking Daniel's writing class, and it gets worse with Daniel's continuous advances. The film also establishes that Daniel has strayed from his marriage before with another student; something that his wife, Valerie Hudson, won't let him forget, no matter how hard he tries to do so.

Villainess Review: Blair Dennison (Deadly Debutante)
Lifetime delivers once again with this film, billed as Deadly Debutante, but credited under the longer title, Deadly Debutantes: A Night to Die For. The film centers around the Debutante Ball, and the two main participants: Anna Phillips and Sophia Martinez. For Anna, becoming a debutante is expected; she comes from a very well-off family, plus her mother, Diana Phillips, won her Debutante Ball. As the film also shows, there is heavy pressure on both Diana and Howard Phillips for Anna to succeed, and it was definitely getting to her.

Villainess Review: Daisy Faulkner (The Secret Lives of College Freshmen)
One night after LMN gave us Secret Life of a Student, we received this amazing film, The Secret Lives of College Freshmen, which centered on Hannah Marks attending college in Oregon--a long way from her California home. She meets up with her best friend, Jodie Mays, who shows Hannah around the campus, with another student, Daisy Faulkner, doing the same. Hannah's elation increases when she finds out that the teacher in her writing class is none other than her idol, Andrew Hampton, who takes a liking to Hannah quickly.

Villainess Review: Kat Connolly (My Husband's Secret Brother)
I had been excited for this film for a good while, and a good bit of it involves one name: Lawrence. This film was a real-life family affair: the three Lawrence brothers, Joey, Matthew, and Andrew (the latter and youngest of the three serving as the director), Samantha Cope (Joey's fiancée) as the main protagonist, Jackie Everstone, and Joey's daughter, Charleston Lawrence, as Madison Everstone. The film sees Jackie making the final touches on her dance studio, which she co-owns with her best friend, Kat Connolly.

You’re here for a reason. Whiplash is a 2014 film about a promising young drummer, Andrew Neiman, who joins a cutthroat music conservatory. His demanding and abusive music teacher stops at nothing to make his students realize their potential at a dangerous cost.
