Contains spoilers, click to show
This show was such a fun watch. Unlike other singing shows this is one I looked forward to watching with my dad every week. We always tried to guess which celebrity was behind each mask every week and we did ok at it. It was so fun. I dont think TPain should have won over Donnie Osmond and Joey Fatone though. My rabbit def got kicked out too early. The costumes were so beautiful on this show and If they come out with a season 2 I will watch it for sure

Devilishly Angelic
I was a little nervous about this one as the book it's based on is one of my all time favourite reads. However, I was very pleasantly surprised with this mini series, of course this is down to Neil Gaiman being involved in the whole project meaning that it remained true to the original material. The actors were well chosen and the young cast portraying Adam and his friends were a true pleasure to watch. All in all a great weekend watch that I thoroughly enjoyed.

He is actually six-five, with the afro, six-nine.
Every scene is a complete classic.
One of my favorite comedies of all time and my favorite Chevy Chase film shows him as a newspaper reporter who is hired by a man to kill him. Through Fletch's enterprising investigation, he discovers all sorts of things about his employer, none of which are good.
Chase's many disguises, iterations and quips makes this film a true classic and a movie I could watch over and over again.
So glad they never made, "Fletch Won."

Still great 20 years later
Full review here:
20 years on, this movie still holds up and remains just as joyous a watch as it ever was. For me, this is up there with the best performance than Jim Carrey has given. He finds a nice balance here between the over the top comedy he is known for and a more nuanced one. As for the plot itself, it's even more sinister in the days of reality TV and while I don't think things would ever get this far- it's a cautionary tale of what could be.

Enjoyable watch
Some secret won't remain buried....because you need to bury them.
A mother and her four kids emigrate from the United Kingdom to America to escape her evil husband. Sadly the mother dies shortly after moving and the kids fend for themselves, keeping it secret she's gone.
The father finds them, but they fend him off....but a ghost seems to be bothering them.
It was an interesting movie to watch and I have to admit I didn't see the twist coming....I think the tagline was quite misleading though.

In all honesty, I use Netflix more than I use direct TV. When I look for new movies or shows to watch I always get on netflix. It's affordable and easy to use. My money isn't wasted on Netflix. A good selection of movies and shows are available for download but for a short limited time which I love and hate because if I'm traveling I don't want to worry that I now have to Uninstall and reinstall. But otherwise best app I use!

I created a video explaining my slow decent into hating this series, book by book, for your viewing pleasure:
This one is better than the last one, but considering I'm comparing this to other books in this series and not saying it's all around 'good' or 'ok' should imply something to you. At least this one was faster paced, but the sentences in this one blinded my English professor so...
It's funny, even though there only one more book, I only see darkness at the end of the tunnel.

But if you prefer a written review:
I didn’t find the constant inaccurate defining of words as annoying this time, probably because I was focused on something else. I realized at this book what a mistake I had made. Each book of this series was just going to be a slight variation of that same template, and being a completionist, I had just condemned myself to ten more books of torture.

I'm not going to lie, I watch these films for one thing and that's Mr Hemsworth flexing those muscles. And there is plenty of that for anyone. I really enjoyed this film but that's not necessarily a good thing. The film is totally different to the first two, it has a different pace, the humour is much more quick witted, and so it jars as part of a sequence. Plus I was made to watch the first two just before this came out so I 'understood' the story (seriously) so it was really apparent.
