Beetlejuice Beetlejuice review

Beetlejuice 2 is a movie I thought we might never see, but it brings back the same zany energy and dark humor of the original. The film features a lot of fan favorites, from Keaton to Winona Ryder. Lydia has made a living from her ability to see ghosts, now with a TV show that has made her famous. Events unfold that bring her daughter and herself back to the old house. With the Maitlands long gone, Lydia knows that when things start to go awry, there can only be one source left in the home.

The performances in Beetlejuice 2 are one of its strongest points. Keaton’s return as the titular character is as wild and unpredictable as ever, delivering a performance that perfectly balances chaos and charm. Winona Ryder brings depth to Lydia's character, reflecting the emotional growth she’s gone through since the first film while still holding on to the dark, eccentric vibe that made her so iconic. New cast members, including Jenna Ortega, add fresh energy to the story, though the film at times feels like it’s trying to juggle too many characters and subplots at once.

The movie struggles with pacing and some predictability. We meet some new characters who could have had great storylines but ultimately fall short in the end, Beetlejuice's ex-wife being one of them. I had high hopes for what she might do. While I don’t think the movie is terrible, I don’t believe it will ever be as loved as the original.

House of Dragons season 1

House of Dragon, season 1, gives us an insight into Westeros's past. Set two centuries before Game of Thrones, the show follows the rise and fall of House Targaryen. It features stunning visuals and political intrigue that keep viewers hooked. The show is darker and more intimate than GOT, following power struggles, betrayal, and the consequences of ambition.

The cast is well selected captivating with each moment. Emma D'Arcy as Rhaenyra Targaryen shows us the struggle of a woman who craved more—power, recognition, and control over her destiny. Throughout House of the Dragon, her ambition and desire for the throne were central to her character. The similarties between her and Daenerys both in looks and character makes me feel a few different things. One that I am sad that two centuries later women are still fighting for their rights to be considered more than just pawns. Two that Daenerys hunger for power was as if inherited. I can't wait for the next seasons of House of Dragons to see what other similarities arise.

This first season had me hooked, and knowing roughly how things will unfold didn't ruin the surprises the show brought. I haven't started season 2 yet, but I'm excited to see what it brings next. Have you seen the show? What are your thoughts so far?

Captain Planet: Complete Franchise

I think you would have to go far and wide to find someone in my generation (the older ones anyway) who doesn't have some kind of memory of this show. I remember watching it in the one bedroom that my mom and I shared when I was very young. I can picture sitting in front of the tv and everything else fades away. I love that all these shows that played such a big part of my childhood are being released on to physical media. I unfortunately never saw a full series as a kid because there was always some reason I ended up missing episodes weeks at a time and now I got the chance to watch the entire series in one place in a easy-to-store package. 

Description

When five teens from all over the globe combine the power of their magic rings, they summon Captain Planet, a superhero who uses earth, wind, fire, water, and heart to combat the vile villains out to pollute the environment. Media master Ted Turner's socially conscious animated series ran from 1990-96 and featured the voices of such celebrities as Whoopi Goldberg, LeVar Burton, Martin Sheen, Sting, and Meg Ryan.114 episodes on 15 discs. 10 hrs. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo; audio commentary; interviews; more.

I don't know about you but I didn't realize they had made movies as part of the series but they did and it was so amazing to see them and have them in this set. It is truly one for the collection and if you were a fan as a child I would recommend this set.

 I was shocked to see names in the voicecast that I recognized and had never known were part of Captain Planet. LeVar Burton influenced me in the reading rainbow and Whoopi was in so many movies my parents loved and I watched with them. Who can forget Meg Ryan who influenced us in RomCom movies during my most formative years. It literally blew my mind when I read the information included in this PR package. That is when I learned about CPF as well. I have included information below about the Foundation.

About Captain Planet Foundation (CPF)

Captain Planet Foundation is an award-winning, US-based NGO that works collaboratively to engage and empower young people to be problem solvers for the planet.

 

Over the past 33 years, more than 1.7 million children have directly participated in CPF’s programs, which have funded 3,700+ projects, impacting 11.4 million young people around the globe. CPF’s operating programs include: Project Learning Garden which has provided 675+ U.S. elementary schools with onsite learning laboratories and healthy food access; Green Heart STEM Challenge for Environmental Justice, which supports 6^th – 8^th grade students as they innovate and develop place-based solutions to the biggest challenges posed by climate change and environmental injustice; and Planeteer Alliance, a global network of young people who are putting their passion and impatience for change into climate ACTION for the planet.  

 

CPF was formed in 1991 and was based on the critically-acclaimed animated series Captain Planet and the Planeteers when it was co-founded by media mogul Ted Turner and series executive producer Barbara Pyle. In 2002, CPF separated from TBS and became a 501(c)3 public charity.

This can be purchased from most major retailers. I did find Amazon to be the most fair with pricing ($15 less than some)

Wednesday Season 1 Review

I remember when I first heard about this show was coming out. Immediately knew I needed to watch it. The style of the show was something I loved from the start. While some think it was basic it drew me in. The Window design in the room shows Both Enid and Wednesday style made me smile. Honestly its like the 2 sides of me, my love of the dark and spooky but my love of color as well. I need some merch with the window on it added to my collection.

Beware if you continue from here you are sure to find Spoilers.

Barbie Movie Review

I have to say upfront, I love Margot Robbie as Barbie. It shows her range of acting vs the last role I know her in which is Suicide Squad. I love the care and attention given to the sets, the clothing, and the music score. The song that Billie came up with really fits so well with the movie and is nicely scored throughout the movie.

 

Rick and Morty: The Complete Series Review

Introduction

Are you a fan of sci-fi comedy? If so, then you're in for a treat with "Rick and Morty." This animated TV series has gained a massive following for its unique blend of irreverent humor and mind-bending science fiction. In this article, we will be delving into a comprehensive review of "Rick and Morty: The Complete Series," exploring its characters, storylines, and overall appeal. So strap yourself in for a wild ride through the multiverse!

Rick and Morty: A Brief Overview

In "Rick and Morty," we follow the adventures of the eccentric scientist Rick Sanchez and his cautious grandson Morty Smith. Together, they traverse various dimensions and universes, encountering bizarre creatures, outlandish scenarios, and plenty of outrageous comedy along the way. The show is known for its witty and often dark humor, as well as its ability to tackle complex philosophical and scientific themes in a lighthearted manner.

We baby bears series review

 

This show is something that has a nice art style and is super cute. The voice acting is good and not grating on the ears, Although as an adult the show quickly gets boring. Each episode in essence is the same story line but just a different path to the same ending. The art style and the music is what kept me watching because I wanted to see what would be done next. It shows quite a bit of inspiration of the Anime art style. Panda is my favorite I think its the eyes.

I feel like in the end this show would be enjoyed more by younger children it does have some things that I feel may be for older audiences.

                                                    

I recommend that if you are an adult to skip this one and go with we Bare bears which has the same characters with a different story line and as adult bears. We Bare Bears came first and We Baby bears came after the popularity of the original. While myself have not see the original I have it on my to watch list and have been recommended it by many fans when I talked with them about this series.

Babylon 5: The Road Home Review

 

For a general idea what they movie is about and trailer see here.

I didn't watch the show itself so I didn't know the history of the characters and what happened in the series. I feel like that made me enjoy this less than I could if I had seen the show from the beginning. The art work through the movie was gorgeous and used a combination of styles to create a cool look. While I didn't know what was happening overall the story did hook me and has me wanting to go back to watch the show so I can better understand the story line.

I enjoyed the special features included in the show and the tributes to the cast who was lost between the time the show ended and this movie was created. 

Overall I would recommend if you haven't watched the show I would do that first because this seems to pick up mid story line. Now if you want a glimpse into the show and if you might like it before starting down the path I recommend it for that reason too.

The Venture Bros.: The Complete Series review

 I watched the show very little when I was in high school. It was something that I picked up here and there when we had cable. I always felt like it was a similar vibe to Jonny quest, which was a show that I watched a lot as a younger kid. And now looking it up, I find out that that was actually quite intentional, which makes it even funnier. I started again recently with the season one when I receive these discs for review.  Boy was it more graphic than I remember. It had my husbands head turning in the other room like what are you watching. He’s old fashioned and doesn’t watch anime or cartoons and in his head cartoons for adults didn’t exist until he saw this. Honestly the first few episodes feel like early game of thrones where it’s sex sex sex all the time but they don’t directly show it just enough so you know what’s happening.

It’s hilarious how things that I recognize now that I wouldn’t have known then. Now Dr. Byron Orpheus reminds me of dr strange whereas when I was younger I would have thought Vincent Van Ghoul from Scooby doo and the 13 ghosts. Honestly though it could be either but adult me leans to dr strange.
