Love Lies Bleeding (2024): A Mesmerizing and Bold Thriller
I’d prefer to know my own strength. After a sweaty workout session, Love Lies Bleeding appeared in theaters in 2024. Gym manager, Lou, and bodybuilder, Jackie fall in love. Unbeknownst to Lou, she becomes entangled in this murder plot driven by Jackie’s obsession with strength and control.

My Review of "Blink Twice"
Blink Twice is a bit of a psychological thriller that came out recently in 2024. It's a cautionary tale that we all know but I guess we have to be reminded every so often. Due to the fact that there were some jump scares in this movie I wasn't sure if I'd classify this as a horror movie or a thriller. I thought it fit more of the latter category because there's more intensity to this movie than outright fear.

Caped Crusader
Okay we are reaching the home stretch of Prime Video’s new animated series, Batman: The Caped Crusader and I have to say that I enjoyed it more than I thought I was going to. There are two episodes left and lots of questions. What happened to Harley Quinn? What will become of Harvey Dent? Are we going to see Selina Kyle again? Am I going to get something that resembles Oracle out of Barbara Gordon? So many loose ends, so little time. I am sure that there will be another season of this show but I’d really prefer if they wrapped it up before the season ends.

Caped Crusader
The new Batman animated series Caped Crusader actually has very little to do with Batman or Bruce Wayne. It is however doing a very good job of introducing just about everyone else that exists in Gotham City. We have seen Harley, Barbara Gordon, Harvey Dent, Selina Kyle and Montoya. This series is doing a good job of telling isolated stories, yet there are still quite a few open ended storylines that have yet to be resolved. I hope that changes by the end of the season.

Hazbin Hotel
When I was at San Diego Comic Con I heard a lot about Hazbin Hotel. Now before that I had seen the title before but I had absolutely no concept of what it was about, what genre it was or anything like that. Well at SDCC I found out that it was an animated musical tv show about demons. There isn’t a single thing that could be more up my alley. So I have been binge watching the first season of the series. The second season is on it's way and I can not wait.

Caped Crusader
So far Batman: The Caped Crusader is more than I had hoped for. Now admittedly I had set the bar really low because the overwhelming amount of Batman media is sexist and subpar at best as a whole. There are very few redeemable projects and honestly most aren’t worth the watch. Thus far, this one is worth the watch. Between the introduction of pretty much everyone interesting in Gotham City, and the different focus every episode the show seems to not only understand its roots but rely on them. The creative team clearly understands what made the original animated series successful and they are taking the best parts of that formula and applying them here.

Drive Away Dolls
There has been a rise in lesbian media this year and I love it alot. Among those titles is Drive Away Dolls. I am very behind in my movie watching for the year but I am doing my best to catch up. Everything I know about this movie screams “campy as hell” and I really hope that I’m right because that’s what I’m here for. So here we go with my latest, super late movie review.

Civil War
So when I saw the trailer for Civil War I knew that this movie was going to be weird at best, terrible if we’re being realistic. The casting was strong but as we know that is nowhere near enough to make a good movie. But I love A24 and I have faith so here we are.

American Society of Magical Negroes
Okay so when I first saw the trailer for this movie, and saw the title, I was concerned that the premise might not be executed correctly. But I had hope, hope that I would be properly, white person uncomfortable. And not actually, wow this is really bad uncomfortable. Now I would also like to recognize before I go into my review that my voice is not the most important one here and should a reviewer with a more personal stake in this have an opposite opinion, that is the one that you should listen to. This is simply a review from my very limited point of view.
