Villainess Review: Gina (Gridlocked)
I fondly remember watching Gridlocked for the first time five years ago; this film was released in Canada in 2015, but received a wider release in the following year. The film centered on two characters: Brody Walker, a notorious, trouble-making celebrity (we've seen a lot of those), and David Hendrix, the leader of a group of SWAT officers. So Brody found himself doing community service as part of another screw-up, and it included being under the watchful eye of Hendrix, with both parties sharing a mutual disdain for the arrangement.

Villainess Review: Emily Brown (The Captive Nanny)
There was a primary reason why I was counting down the days until Lifetime aired The Captive Nanny, but I'll get to it later. This film, which aired on May 30, 2020, centered on main protagonist Chloe, who was hired to serve as a nanny for young Tommy Brown, by his mother, Emily. Chloe is elated to have a job as a nanny, and regarding Emily, she welcomes Chloe with open arms. However, Emily basically has one key rule: Tommy is not to leave the house. When he is taken outside by Chloe, Emily scolds her newly hired nanny, but then tells Chloe her reasons for her strict rules.

Villainess Review: Francine Campali (Murdered at 17)
In 2018, Lifetime gave us Murdered at 17, one of the many installments from their themed "At 17" films, and this film's central villain was Jake Campali, who is visited by his mother, Francine, as the film's opening scene. Jake is clearly not happy to see his mother, who visited Jake under the claim that his father, Mike, was dying from cancer and she needed money to help pay his medical bills. Jake basically celebrated the news, and the reason: Mike was very abusive to Jake during his childhood, and in addition, Francine turned a blind eye to her husband's abuse.

Villainess Review: Autumn Delaney (Good Witch)
With the seventh season of Good Witch closing in, I decided to finally resume binge-watching the series after trailing off while watching Season Five. Very recently, I finished watching Season Five and moved to the most recent of the Good Witch specials that usually air between seasons, the aptly titled, "Curse from a Rose."

From Shrek to Royal Legend . AI-Generated.
The Connection between Maurice Tillet and Shrek: A Possible Inspiration Maurice Tillet, a professional wrestler born in France in 1903, was a striking figure for his unique appearance, resulting from a medical condition known as acromegaly. This disease, caused by an overproduction of growth hormone, led to an abnormal growth of bones and tissues, especially in the face, hands and feet. Tillet became a household name in wrestling during the 1930s and 1940s, gaining fame for his athletic ability and striking presence in the ring. His distinctive appearance also made him a figure of curiosity and fascination.
