Lifetime Review: 'Dying for a Family'
Synopsis: Sisters Darcie and Hannah Williams (Maddy Hillis and Alaska Leigh) both agree that they lucked out with their latest foster parents. They've been with Gillian and Keith Parks (Corina Akeson and Jay Hindle) for a few years now and the well-to-do couple has finally given Darcie and Hannah a stable home again. But on the night they announce their plan to formally adopt the sisters, their happy life comes crashing down. After Gillian and Hannah get into a fight, Hannah sneaks out of the house and is nowhere to be found the next day. While the police are certain it's a simple case of a runaway teen, Darcie knows her sister wouldn't abandon her without a word of explanation and starts her own investigation into Hannah's disappearance. But the secrets Darcie uncovers could cost her her family...and her life.

The first rule of magic: don't let anyone know your name. Names have power. Neil Gaiman, The Books of Magic People usually say: “Before, the trees were taller, and the grass was greener.” Indeed, from a child's perspective, everything seemed new and significant. Long roads, long hours. But time changes distances. Things that once delighted us seem silly and unimportant today. Favorite toys are lying in the attic, former friends remained only in photographs, and from old fairy tales, only the "once upon a time" is kept in memory.
"Not Okay" and the importance of warnings.
Zoey Deutch, Mia Isaac, and Dylan O'Brien play the main characters in 2022's Not Okay movie. A spoiler warning is in effect! If you like this, you can get more of my articles when you subscribe to my account.

I very well remember reading a novel named "Damage" when I was at a age when I should not have been reading that. I think the novel is still lying somewhere in my home.
Javed BalochPublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock"
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock came out in 1984. Although it's only been 2 years it's weird that the cast seems to have aged quite a bit in only 2 years. Unlike the last movie this movie does in fact feel like a sequel to the previous movie. It's kind of cool too because if you've seen the previous movie you'll be anticipating on this movie.

BlueTwelve Studio's Stray is a charming game about a cat navigating a mysterious walled city. You play as an orange feline, effortlessly parkouring on top of railings, old air conditioning units, and signs. You can sleep in the laps of workers and musicians and headbutt cute robot denizens. There's a lot to like in this game, and I highly recommend you play through it yourself because it was a treat.

Well the second episode of House of the Dragon is out and though I liked the first episode I am approaching this show with caution and a lack of expectations. The likelihood of horrendous treatment of its women characters is damn near 100%. So here we go, my live feed thoughts on its second installment.
Alexandrea CallaghanPublished 2 years ago in GeeksPurple Hearts
When Netflix hypes a film, you just gotta watch it - Right? Everyone has been raving about this movie. I finally see what the hype was about. Purple Hearts is one of Netflix's unexpected success stories considering its relatively unknown cast and comparatively low budget. Spending 27 days on the top 10 list with total viewing hours of over 200 million, it seems to be one gamble that has paid off for the streaming giant.
Imabong FaminuPublished 2 years ago in GeeksMy Review of "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan"
Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan came out back in 1982. Admittedly I didn't get to see this for another 20 years after it was released. When I did see it I was hooked. This movie was the movie that got me into Star Trek. I didn't know anything about the TV series but this movie just sucked me into their world and I've been a fan ever since. Now another 20 years hit and I'm marathoning the movies all over again. I wanted to see if this movie still holds up. Spoiler alert yes it does.
