Star Trek: The Next Generation: Devil's Due (1991)
Entertaining!
My favorite part of this episode is towards the beginning when Captain Picard is talking to his senior staff. He announces that he's going to go down to the planet to try to release the hostages, and we see Worf looking completely defeated knowing that no matter what he says it will be wrong...a fate he resigned himself to based on every previous episode when he's given a suggestion or opinion.
The Flash: Duet (2017)
Great...after you change your mindset!
When watching musical episodes of TV shows you have to get into a different mindset. You can't judge the episode based on the expectations of regular ones. Plots in musicals are never that complicated mainly because the point of musicals is to enjoy the singing and the dancing. You just have to let yourself go and enjoy. After I did that I loved this episode so much more.
Also, this episode is a nice respite from the more serious and darker episodes previous to this one.
Legacies: See You on the Other Side (2021)
Please come up with more original ideas
The whole "Landon and Hope get together, split apart, come back together, split apart, etc." has gotten so old. Andnd now that Hope has switched off her humanity it will be another few crappy episodes using a plot device that sucked when it was used with Stefan and Elena in TVD. The last really good episode of Legacies was halfway through season 2. They should have just ended it then.
Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Measure of a Man (1989)
one of the most thought provoking episodes!
I wish Patrick Stewart had played more roles as a trial attorney in movies or television cuz he would be awesome! Captain Picard is always at his best when he's speaking about philosophy and morals.
Dragonball Evolution (2009)
Only two reasons to watch it...
Emmy Rossum and Jamie Chung. Smoking hot! Since my review has to be longer for it to submit, let me say again...watch it for Emmy Rossum and Jamie Chung.
Zombies (2018)
It's a wonderful movie! Give it a chance!
One has to remember the target audience for this movie. I'm not even sure the target audience is even for most high school students. It's pretty much for middle schoolers. Many of the jokes and stereotypes, though this isn't a good justification, should be thought of in that light. Without the music and without the lead actors I would have rated this movie a 3. But Meg Donnelly is such a wonderful and charming actress...she makes up for a lot of the bad. Her singing & dancing lifts the rating of the movie by at least 4 points. She's one of the best expressive & most bubbily-charming and natural actresses I have seen in a long time!
Perhaps the most annoying and irritating thing about the movie is how anti-zombie people change their minds virtually every 5 minutes! No way does that happen in real life nor does it show the real inner struggle that the humans have in determining whether to accept zombies or not. What kind of the struggle is it if they just flip a switch every 5 minutes and have a different opinion... human brains simply don't work that way. It is the actual, REAL struggle that this movie should expose, deal with, and resolve.
But the movie isn't simply about people's hatred toward zombies. The broader struggle is society's being against homosexuals, people of color, or any number of other differences not accepted by society, and more specifically, their peers. To trivialize the struggle is to demean it...which defeats the whole purpose of the movie.
