Shadowhunters 2B: Thoughts + Brief Recap

Warning: SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED.

Can I first just say, freaking FINALLY?!?!?! After over half a year of tears, angst, pain and joy, Shadowhunters season 2, at long last, has come to an end. Valentine has finally been vanquished [cue 'the evil is defeated' meme], and the season, for the most part, comes to a close on a positive note, and I can't wait to start talking about it.

Spider-Man: Homecoming: Why I Love It So Much

Warning: SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED.

Welcome to my second movie review ever! I can't believe Spider-Man: Homecoming has already been out for a month, and it is one of my favorite Marvel movies ever. It did so many things right, such as casting people of color as the supporting characters, and casting an actual age-appropriate Spider-Man. Let's get into it!

MUST WATCH!!!: The Bold Type +Brief Recap of First Four Episodes

Warning: SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED.

Summer vacation is passing by quicker than ever. With SDCC 2017 and the Shadowhunters 2B premiere already behind us (what?!?!) comes the inevitable binge watch of new shows. One new summer show in particular has caught my eye, and it just so happens to air on the same network as another show I have previously raved about on here.

Pitch and The Get Down: Stop Cancelling, Start Watching

Hey guys! Long time no see! I know I said I would be writing more during summer, but unfortunately, I haven't gotten a chance to sit down and do just that, so today I'll be talking about something I've wanted to talk about for a while.

I'm sure you've all heard the news - after only one season at Fox, Pitch is no more. Fans had been waiting for months for potential news of a renewal, only to be let down by Fox, because they're Fox. The same goes with Netflix's The Get Down - set in the late 70s, the drama followed the rise of disco and R&B in the poor parts of the Bronx. (I've always wanted to review The Get Down on here as a separate entity, but alas, the show got cancelled before I could.) Both shows ended ambiguously, and both shows, despite having excellent writing and cast chemistry, were cancelled before their time. Something else they had in common? Both featured casts that contained mostly actors of color.

Arrow Season 5B Recap! +Season 6 Wishes

Warning: SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED.

Hey guys!! With hellhole junior year finally behind me, I'll have more time to get to you all the thoughts and reviews I've been wanting to write. First up is a brief recap and discussion of some of my favorite last few episodes of Arrow season 5, starting from the iconic Olicity-centric episode, "Underneath".

First Movie Review!: Saban's Power Rangers (2017)

Warning: SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED.

Hey everyone! Hopefully with AP exams behind me, I'll have time to start these reviews again. However, I don't think I'll be doing episode by episode reviews consistently - they take a long time to write, and depending on how the episode was, I might not be in the right mood to write it. Though it may look like that I love ranting, it actually takes a lot of energy out of me, and even can negatively affect my health. This doesn't mean I'll never do them again - I'll write recaps for particularly memorable episodes, such as Arrow's season 5 episode 20, so watch out for that.

So, I've decided to expand on my blog and do general season recaps, such as my Shadowhunters ones, me talking more about my opinions than what actually happened in the episode, and, as the title of this post indicates, movie reviews! I'm extremely excited to cover Power Rangers as my first movie review, and apologize for it being very late.

Shadowhunters Season 2A Recap Part 2: Episodes 7-10

Warning: SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED, although if you haven't watched by this point, I'm gonna have to kick your ass for slacking. I say this as if I haven't procrastinated writing this.

With less than a month until season 2B to go (time flies, right?!), I've decided to finally get off my ass and write this review. I know, I know, the last one (aka the first half) was published over a month ago when I promised it would be out in a couple days. But to be fair, I was kind of dreading writing this because most of the episodes in this half of the recap were mediocre. Let's get started!
