Villainess Review: Natalie Gale (Elementary)
I've said this before and I'll say it again: I love Elementary. I really loved that show and everything about it; the cast, the plots, the stories, and yes, the villainesses. The show had an amazing crop of evil and murderous women in the seven years that it aired on CBS, and the episode, "Blood is Thicker," was certainly no different.

Villainess Review: Patty Weyland (Crossing Jordan)
I remember Crossing Jordan, and to be honest, this was an underrated show. I've seen a handful of episodes of this NBC series, and I enjoyed what I watched; the stories were gripping, and the cast was absolutely amazing. The show had its memorable episodes, with one of them being, "Blood Relatives," which featured quite a tragic case. The episode centered on the sudden deaths of a woman, Patty Weyland, and her two young sons, Jonah and Brad--all of whom were found stabbed to death.

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: Sibella Stone (Murder, She Wrote)
I never watched Murder, She Wrote when it aired, but I remember seeing the promos on CBS back when I was a kid. The series was a huge mainstay on CBS, with over 200 episodes in 12 seasons between 1984 and 1996, and the series spawned a number of telefilms following the series' end. The centerpiece of the show (and the films) was the legendary Angela Lansbury, who played famed author Jessica Fletcher, whose expertise in writing murder mysteries has helped out when actual murders are committed, as she always puts all of the pieces together. I started watching the reruns about six years ago, and the show has had its share of memorable and amazing villainesses, with one of them being featured in the episode, "Love's Deadly Desire."

She-Hulk Review: "The People vs Emil Blonsky"
No, you are not seeing things. That really is famous rapper Megan Thee Stallion shown with Tatiana Maslany's Jennifer Walters on the latest episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. This is clearly one of the most amazing celeb cameos in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it was originally supposed to be a surprise, of course, but Megan's MCU debut was leaked into the public eye.

Villainess Review: Dana Declan (Fatal Reunion)
I remember this film, Fatal Reunion, very well, and one of the reasons was the film's leading lady, Erika Eleniak. Eleniak had done her share of Lifetime films, and was coming off playing a villainess in one of them. In this film from 2005, Eleniak played Jessica Landers, a woman who wasn't quite satisfied in her marriage to Russell Landers. At the urgency of her friends, Jessica meets up with her former schoolmate, Marcus Declan, but after realizing how much she loved Russell (and vice versa), the meetings come to an end.

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.

She-Hulk Review: "Superhuman Law"
A week passed since She-Hulk: Attorney at Law debuted, and I was still beaming over the previous week's premiere. Lo and behind, it's another Thursday, and that means another episode on Disney+! After a brief recap of Episode 1, Episode 2 picked up from the last moment from the premiere, with Jen receiving massive buzz for saving everyone in the courtroom from Titania (who did not appear in this episode, but we will definitely see more of her). The episode's opening scenes feature Jen's strong and green alter-ego receiving the She-Hulk name, which Jen doesn't like. The name would end up being the least of her problems, as Jen was informed that while her heroic efforts were to be commended, they also resulted in losing the case, and she ended up losing her job.

But does this movie deserve your time or not, let's find out.
