The Shadow Strikes 1937 Movie Review Finale

THE BUTLER DID IT?!? AGAIN??? DAMMIT MOVIE!!!Sigh. After dragging this story out for about 40 minutes? The remaining 20 is told in a series of fast cuts and fades.

Pa Bell sends a man to fix the mansion phones. Remember when the…

Review of My Lady Jane Episode 1 - Who'll Be The Next In Line ?

If you haven't watched it yet, please do so at the earliest.

Spoilers Ahead -

The narrator rocks btw

Right off the Bat I fucking love Jane, she's so awesome, like making a book for herbs and healing ??? ( that's so me btw ) and I adored the little detail that she also put in the time and effort to study and draw the plants for those who couldn't read, that's our inclusive queen right there. She's also so unfiltered and I love that because it's again very me coded.

During sex The Handmaiden, Sussanah nodded to give her constent to the stable boy who was waiting for her to say yes and like that's a very good thing to add because consent is important.

Jane I feel you on your views of marriage.

Jane's Mother is actually so complex, like she tries to protect Jane and use her for her ulterior motives as an act of twisted love which is all she can muster, loved the scene where Jane twisted her hand because fuck child abuse.

EDWARD I LOVE YOU MY GAY KING

Now Guilford is awesome, also idk why but I think he's an Ethian ? Is he the archer ? Because how is a bear the archer ? Orion reference maybe idk ?

Jane is so dramatic and smart omg, faking to have the affliction to as to not get married ? I love her, also guilford is having none of that is he 😂

Overall I love it and can't wait to watch more. Will reblog this for the next episodes.

A Bold Twist on History: Why My Lady Jane is a Hidden Gem in the World of Fantasy

My Lady Jane is a defiant breath of fresh air in the world of historical fantasy, embracing its bonkers nature with unapologetic enthusiasm. This series takes the rulebook of realism, tosses it out the window, and instead opts for a wild ride that blends history, fantasy, and romance into one delightful package. The show doesn’t just flirt with the boundaries of reality; it gleefully dances right past them, making a Black man the King of England and introducing shapeshifters as part of the social fabric. This bold move pays off beautifully, inviting viewers to suspend disbelief and simply enjoy the ride.

What sets My Lady Jane apart is not just its entertainment value but its sharp wit. The protagonists are a joy to follow, with Jane and her fellow female characters serving as the true heart of the show. Jane herself is fantastic—her earnestness is both endearing and occasionally irritating, but always compelling. Surrounding her are standout characters like her cunning, sex-positive mother, Lady Frances, and her fiercely independent sister, Lady Margaret, who exudes a strength and determination that would give even Lady Lyanna Mormont a run for her money.

The series doesn’t just rely on its characters to make an impact; it excels in world-building and plot twists, all presented with a satirical sense of humor. The tone is a unique blend of modern feminism and historical toxic masculinity, creating a fresh take on the period drama genre. It’s a show that doesn’t shy away from revising history, much like Dickinson or The Great, and in doing so, it crafts a narrative that feels both contemporary and timeless.

However, the show isn’t without its faults. At times, the blend of genres and tones may feel jarring to some viewers, and not all of the humor lands perfectly. The pacing can also be uneven, with some episodes feeling slightly stretched while others race through pivotal moments. But these are minor quibbles in an otherwise delightful series.

For those who enjoy a mix of romance, action, and wit in their shows, My Lady Jane delivers in spades. The chemistry between Emily Bader and Edward Bluemel is nothing short of magnetic, their love story evolving from enemies to lovers with a perfect balance of spice and sweetness. Their portrayal of Jane and Guildford is so compelling that you can’t help but root for them, even as they navigate the treacherous waters of political intrigue and personal growth.

The show’s historical twists add tension and excitement to the narrative, making it more than just a simple retelling of history. It’s a femme-centric romp that flips the script on traditional damsel-in-distress stories, showing what happens when women take control and defy the patriarchal constraints of their time. My Lady Jane is outrageous, audacious, and delightfully bawdy—a show that isn’t afraid to be dirty and daring.

That said, this show might not be for everyone. Fans of more traditional period dramas or those who prefer their fantasy with a bit more realism may find the show’s irreverence off-putting. But for viewers who appreciate a fresh, bold take on history with a heavy dose of humor, My Lady Jane is a gem.

Although My Lady Jane was one of the best-reviewed new shows this year, it sadly failed to find a broad enough audience. The series received a 91% critical approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, yet it never landed on Nielsen’s Top 10 weekly streaming rankings for originals. Despite the initial online buzz, it didn’t translate into enough viewers, leading to the show’s quiet exit.

In my opinion, insufficient marketing and the overshadowing by other, more heavily promoted series prevented My Lady Jane from reaching the wider audience it deserved, ultimately contributing to its untimely cancellation. It’s a real shame, because this show had all the elements of a hit: humor, heart, and a unique blend of magic. From the clever reimagining of history to the standout performances, My Lady Jane was special in many ways. For those who did find it, My Lady Jane remains a gem—one that will be missed but fondly remembered.

Batman: Caped Crusader is a gorgeous, well-acted series. Between this and the Reeves films, I'm digging the greater emphasis on the detective side of things, and the show does a good job paying homage to BTAS while still standing alone. I'm already getting antsy for Season 2!

I watched salt burn today, and it wasn’t even that bad; people are being so dramatic. My English nerd came out tho, cuz I could write a 5 page essay on the symbolism and metaphorical aspects of that movie. The bathtub scene, the vampire scene, and the grave scene all have such a deeper meaning to them THAT NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT.

⚠️SPOILERS⚠️

To sum this up and because I don’t wanna type so much lemme just do bullet points:

‼️it’s 3am and I am exhausted so if this makes no sense I apologize in advanced‼️

- the puppet thing was a literal symbol and connection to Oliver. HE WAS A PUPPET MASTER, HE WAS CONTROLLING THE WHOLE NARRATIVE. At the end when he’s dancing and the puppet thing is there with the rocks on top, each rock is representing a puppet that he controlled that he basically created.

-Oliver was an English major. HE WAS A WRITER AND READER. Being a writer and a puppet master are one of the same. He was writing his own story; his own narrative. He was controlling everything to go just as he planned it.

- to connect to the previous point: the bathtub, vampire, and grave scenes; the three main grotesque scenes of the movie. NOW THIS IS PROBABLY ME REACHING BUT LISTEN. Oliver was a writer he was creating a story one where he himself came out on top. Every story needs a beginning, middle, and end. I believe Oliver saw his body (not himself but his body iykwim) as the physical book. Consuming the cummy bath water I think could be interpreted as him consuming the beginning of life; we all know he gets off on the idea of holding life and death in his hands so to consume these aspects of his story they became sexual in a sense. The vampire scene: he was consuming life; blood is life and by consuming that directly from a living person he was consuming the middle of his story. NOW THE GRAVE SCENE: Death; he was consuming the end of his story; everything ends in death so by fucking the grave of the man who started him on his path he was ending the story in a sense. Obviously we know that wasn’t the end because more people died BUT THE SCENES HAPPENED IN ORDER AND THEY WERE THE MOST SEXUAL SCENE CONTAINING OLIVER HIMSELF.

-to connect to the puppet point: when he kills the mom (forgot her name) and she’s dead, he is trying to keep her arms up to hug him but they keep falling and he keeps trying to put them back. This was a literal scene of him acting as a puppet master, controlling the actions of a physical form physically. If that makes sense.

-the movie started with Oliver telling the story of how he may have been in love with Felix, you don’t know who he’s talking to until the end when you find out he’s basically admitting everything he did to the mother right before he kills her. He got away with everything. He’s a narcissist and he’s pretentious (as all artists are you have to be if you’re creating something because you’re creating it for others) he WANTS someone to know what he did. He WANTS the credit for his success. So by telling the mom everything beginning to end, he’s telling his story. In doing so he admits everything.

-him dancing naked: I don’t think this was meant as something sexual. I think this scene was meant to represent the freedom Oliver felt. He got everything he wanted. He achieved his goal. To further this point he looks longingly and almost admirably at the puppet box thing with the rocks on it. That was (to him) the representation of his story, of his success; it’s like when a writer finally finishes a story or an artist finally finishes a piece of art they’ve been working on for years; he’s feeling that euphoric freedom and accomplishment and it’s represented by him dancing naked in his prize; the house.

-Yes, he was sexual, and the movie in general was a sexual thing. However, I think that was to show his all consuming nature of his plan. Being one with his story.

-Smth I wish they went into detail about: his home life; why was he the way he was? Was he just born that way? Or did something traumatic happen to him for him to become what he did?

-do I think he was in love with Felix? No. I don’t think he can feel or understand the emotion of love. I think he had an obsession with Felix because he was the start of his story, he was the one that led Oliver to everything he was to achieve.

-it’s 3 am and I can’t think of anything else but I will add if I think of smth else cuz I’m definitely leaving things out 😩

For fans of The Expanse, I highly recommend The First Sister by Linden A. Lewis.

It has a similar world building of a near-future space opera where humans have colonized space (including venus and mercury), where we follow three primary political factions (the geans of earth and mars, the icarii of venus and mercury, and the asters of the asteroid belt) in a political thriller in the midst of an ongoing war and inter-factional conflict. Gripping plot, entrancing characters, and stellar plot twists, I can't recommend this book enough and I can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy.

Something is brewing up ☕☕......😗😗

[rickchung]

Jackpot! (dir. Paul Feig).

Amazon's action-comedy, starring Awkwafina and John Cena, really stretches its near-future lottery premise that's equal part The Purge and John Wick knock-off. It centres on the advent of government-sanctioned legal murder of a lottery winners as a sort of high-stakes inheritance à la The Hunger Games. Apparently, every person turns into an unapologetic knife-wielding maniac in a money-hungry mob despite probably slim odds of being declared the winner/murderer anyway. In between countless scenes of hand-to-hand combat with jokes peppered along the way, the hundred-minute film struggles to justify its high-concept beyond the initial novelty.

The Shadow Strikes 1937 Movie Review Part 4

It’s Come To The Point Honest Mob Henchmen Can’t Extort Without Stumbling Over Someone Else’s Murders!So the job boss, in the end, might just be here to add Red Herrings to the hunt for the mansion murder… I mean murders. Now plural. While The Shadow goes with the Captain to help him full out an affidavit on his present suspect? The butler stays behind to intercept any call incoming from the…

A common criticism of the first season is that, as a result of being only 8 episodes set over the course of 6 months, the first season doesn't have much room to develop its characters, relationships, and storylines. Many point out that the show would have better benefitted from having a 10 or even 12 episode season, and would actually welcome filler episodes so as to further flesh out the dynamics between the characters and the various plot threads.

In particular, the Overlords such as the Vees and the five month period skipped over are cited as areas that could use expansion, as the former are rendered advertised extras due to their lack of involvement in the greater plot, and the latter is seen as ripe for a period of character exploration like Angel Dust's struggles with redemption.

FILM REVIEW: Red, White and Royal Blue

★★★★★ - 5 stars

"You need to figure out if you feel forever about him. Do you love him?"

The so-called "Cake Gate" was an accident - I mean, nobody would choose to have a £75,000 cake fall on top of you and your worst enemy. Alex Claremont-Diaz didn't mean to create an international scandal, but it doesn't mean he didn't do it. Now, his mother, the President of the United States needs him to do some damage control in order to not mess up her opportunity of winning the next election. Except, Alex Claremont-Diaz cannot stand Prince Henry and now he has to pretend they're best friends. Yet as Alex and Henry spend more time together, they realise that their hatred towards each other is completely unprecedented and quickly find themselves hurtling into a secret relationship with each other. As the election draws closer, Alex realises that he feels something more for Henry. Alex realises that he is in love with him. The question is what is worth the sacrifice? Is he willing to potentially upend two nations and ruin his mother's campaign? Is true love really worth it?

Red, White and Royal Blue seems like some sort of whacky, wild fan fiction in summary - it's a royal au, follows the enemies to lovers trope and very much so idiots in love. Despite the AO3 tags it perfectly fits into, Red, White and Royal Blue is so much more than it seems. It's a beautiful love story, a tale of hurt, heartbreak and comfort, that emotionally hits the viewer in ways you aren't expecting.

As someone who read the book a long time before the film was even conceptualised, (and as it's one of my favourite books of all time) my standards for how great this film needed to be were extremely - and I mean extremely - high. Despite leaving out bits from the book, which as sad as it may be is understandable due to time constraints, it still hit me just as viscerally as the book. Somehow even though some of the largest plot points (e.g. Bea's cocaine addiction) and most important characters (June Claremont-Diaz who I adore so very much) were missing, it still remained really accurate to the book. That sounds really contradictory, I know, but it was genuinely amazing how many lines they kept word for word from the original novel. It's something that I truly appreciate about recent book to screen adaptations, and I loved the fact that I could notice every time that it happened.

Nick and Taylor's chemistry was off the charts, which is something that seemingly came out of left field for a lot of people, but quite genuinely made the perfect Alex and Henry. They perfectly performed the witty banter, the yearning looks and the complete and utter disdain they have for each other at times. They made Alex Claremont-Diaz and Henry Fox Mountchristen Windsor real and by doing that they too made history.

Music played quite a large role in this film from the beginning until the end. I think the greatest song choice was undoubtedly Katarina Stratford's anthem. Bad Reputation was a brilliant choice for the theme song - it's such a perfect representation of Alex as a person, of him not caring what other people think and simply doing what he wants to do. It was also great to see Henry's karaoke performance of Don't Stop Me Now by Queen on the screen, and Henry and Alex dancing in the V&A was quite frankly beautiful.

Overall, Red, White and Royal Blue is a must-watch film of 2023. It's raw and emotional; it's a master class in romance; and it's extremely funny. It's a story that will make history.

I watched Suncoast and I need to talk about it.

There's barely any buzz on the website so.

Spoilers ahead❗️❗️❗️

First off...cinematic. the shots, the filming, majority of the film conveys what it needs to.

Something that struck me was the dialogues. With the friend group at school it's so shallow. They decide what to wear, what to drink, what to smoke. They that don't have life altering consequences. Whereas Dorris, everything she does or says is something bigger and that's why nobody will understand her. They haven't been through that pain. Like Nate talking about his parrot... she could have a conversation about life and death and he talks about ....his parrot. I love how mildly supportive they are especially for prom or for reaching her back when needed.

Paul can have these more mature conversations with Doris because they both have the pain of losing someone. Everything about their conversation and relation in the movie is spot on, the little inside jokes, the talk about grief and mostly the debate.

I like how the story of the activists is there, it supports the main storyline of Doris but it also doesn't take away or directly interact with Doris.

The mother daughter dynamic is something they've nailed again. How she faces away from Doris when she's disappointed with her and towards her while brushing her teeth when she wants to win her daughter back. The thought process between both of them. It's very real. It's heart wrenching but it's real.

The ending doesn't give me enough closure but I've to learn to process it.

As someone who has dealt with loss, taking care of a loved one and having a sort of delusional mother. This movie hit me in different ways. It had me crying, smiling and overall the story was well done. Acting was a plus too.

I hope Suncoast gets the recognition it deserves.

Ok this is a positive review and I get it the description is cute and fun but like…

You know all of the nuka cola found in the wasteland is flat and not even CLOSE to fresh, right?
