Movies aren't the only thing I love to watch. I'm also a huge fan of series, especially ones that are compelling enough to keep me watching. Check out today's blog post, which is a list of six horror or mystery series you need to binge this week! 1: ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING
2: THEM
3: WHY WOMEN KILL
4: CRIMINAL MINDS
5: MARY KILLS PEOPLE It is creepy and really sad, and we probably have all met someone with the same medical conditions that several of Mary’s patients have. So, it can be tough to see wrong in what Mary is doing if each of her patients are consenting. Not only do you learn of new cases, but you also follow Mary as local law enforcement starts catching on to her schemes. You can find this one on Hulu or Lifetime. 6: CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA

Let's face it: finding a good scary movie to watch can be hard. There are a lot of movies that claim to be good or a fresh take on horror, but they're usually few and far between. Today, I want to share three of the best horror/scary movies I've seen lately. 1: FREAKY
2: THE FOREVER PURGE
3: THE CONJURING: THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT

This past Sunday, Jonathan and I were able to get some gas in the car and headed over to our local movie theatre to catch a showing of Wrath of Man. I'm so excited to share some about this movie with you in today's blog post! THE PLOTA armed money car business hires a new security guard (Jason Statham) to protect their cash after losing two security officers during a hold up. At the first sign of major trouble, the guard defends his coworkers and the cash in his truck ruthlessly, causing his coworkers to suspect he may not be who he says he is. As the tale unfolds, we learn more about the motives behind the cash truck robberies and the mysterious security guard who is doing his best to thwart them. THE STORYLINE | 4.5/5
THE ACTING | 5/5
THE STUNTS | 5/5As with most action movies, stunts are pretty important. While there weren't a lot of ground-breaking stunts in Wrath of Man, the fighting scenes were awesome, which is really I would want. FINAL THOUGHTSThis is a movie for action junkies, for sure. Statham fans will really enjoy his performance, and those looking for a semi-refreshing plot will also enjoy the movie. I believe it is Rated R, so I wouldn't recommend that children or those who don't like heavy shooting action scenes to watch this one.

If you know me at all, you know I'm a huge movie lover. Well today, I want to talk a bit about some of the movies I've watched recently and give them each a little review. THE MAURITANIAN
MOXIE
GINNY & GEORGIA
WANDAVISION
THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER
THE PLOT
He uses his newfound abilities as a bargaining chip to get fame and power. When the wishes cause the world to become haywire, Diana must fight to help humans find their humanity in hopes of restoring order to the world. THE STORYLINE | 5/5Growing up, and still even today, my brother will only watch certain types of movies, which usually boil down to Sci-Fi and action. So, when we went to see the movie, I was not sure if I'd like it. However, I was surprised at how the movie balanced the romantic story with the action. I really liked the storyline and the way the story unfolded. THE ACTING | 5/5
SPECIAL EFFECTS | 4/5As with anything with CGI or special effects, it's not always perfect. There is a scene where Wonder Woman uses her lasso to fly through the sky. It looks a little unrealistic to me personally. However, when it comes to most of the special effects, I was really impressed with the movie as a whole. FINAL THOUGHTSMy final thoughts on this film is that it is definitely one you need to see. You'll like it, even if you haven't seen any other Wonder Woman film, or if you aren't the biggest fan of action films. I hope you'll be safe if you go see this on the big screen!

Who doesn't love cuddling up with some popcorn on a crisp day in October to enjoy a few scary movies? I know I do! So, I figured today I'd share some spooky/Halloween-themed movies that I think you should check out. These are available on various streaming services, which I'll list beside the movie's title. Hubie Halloween - NetflixThe movie was so funny! You can see a number of stars you probably recognize in the image above. It was packed with a number of big names, including Kevin James, Rob Schneider and Steve Buscemi to name a few. At the end was a touching tribute to Cameron Boyce, who tragically lost his life a year or so ago. Many of the actors in the film had worked on projects with Boyce in the past. I would recommend this film. There are some innuendos, but it is pretty clean other than that. Uncanny Annie - Hulu
Tragedy Girls - Hulu
Veronica - Netflix
The Devil All The Time - Netflix
After seeing a ton of positive reviews and hearing from one movie critic that Adam Sandler's performance in "Uncut Gems" was Oscar-worthy, I knew I had to jump at the chance to see it. Luckily, my mom and brother also wanted to see it over the holidays. First, let's start with the movie's plot, and then I'll give my honest opinion on different aspects of the movie: THE PLOT
ACTING | 4/5I do think he played the character fairly well, but I think that someone else may have been able to do it just a bit better. But, as it goes for the actor himself, this is one of the best roles I've seen him play. THE STORYLINE | 5/5For example, I remember at one point in the movie that there was a ton of stuff going on at once. A lot of people talking and a lot of people doing things. It honestly got to the point where my mom and I covered our ears because all of the sensory overload was starting to cause a headache. While it was super annoying in the moment, I left baffled that the film was able to leave me feeling that way. Another thing on the story is that the ending is not what you expect it to be really. It has a real crazy twist that kind of left me shocked. The ending of the movie was kind of worth the wait. THE MEANING | 5/5
FINAL RATING | 5/5Overall, I think the movie earned its five gems! This is full of language and inappropriate themes, so I think it was rated R. I don't think it is a great movie for kids. It is important to continue to stay engaged in the storyline to follow everything. I hope you'll take time to see this movie in theatres before it goes to DVD and digital download.

DISNEY+ MOVIESDisney+ is a new streaming service that offers the best of the company's movies and televisions shows. Here are some of the ones I will definitely be watching this weekend: I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
I like this movie because it is really relatable when it comes to people who are my age. We know what it is like to have to travel for the holidays and the various bumps in the road. A must watch for this season! THE SANTA CLAUSE SERIES
His ex wife and her new husband fight to get full custody of Charlie because Calvin becomes convinced that he is Santa. The first movie is low key a tear-jerker. Definitely one you need to watch. Keep watching the full series for more holiday fun. THE HOME ALONE SERIES
Culkin did a great job of portraying what it would be like if a kid is left alone in a home or in the big city. If you've never seen these, be sure to add them to your watch list. AMAZON PRIME VIDEO (FREE MOVIES)Amazon Prime has pretty slim pickings when it comes to free movies that are great for this time of year. Most of them are made by small companies and are usually romantic in some way. BAD SANTA

"Knives Out" caught my attention when I saw a commercial where it boasted a Rotten Tomatoes score of 100. I’ve never seen a movie score that high on the site, so I was excited when my mom, brother, husband, and I went to see it after Thanksgiving. Let’s start, as we normally do, with a bit of the plot, and then delve into the different aspects of the movie: THE PLOT
ACTING | 4.5/5
THE STORYLINE | 5/5
THE MEANING | 5/5
It showed that, even though the family told her that she was like family, they really didn’t care for her when it came down to it. They, at one point, threaten to expose her mother’s immigration status and have her taken away. The next big plot point was money and what lots of money can do to people. After Harlan dies, he leaves behind a ton of money and books, as well as a publishing house. The family snaps when his will is read. They want their inheritance and they are willing to do just about anything to get it. Overall, the storyline really did have some points that made you think. FINAL RATING | 5/5This movie was really great, especially the more and more that I think about it. It really does give a "Clue" vibe. The movie was mysterious yet riddled with comic relief from each of the characters. I really enjoyed the movie and I hope that you will go check it out while it is still in theaters. This is definitely one movie we will be adding to our at-home collection.

With Spooky Season right around the corner, Jonathan and I finally got to see It Chapter Two. The long-awaited sequel, which was released nearly two years ago, was pretty good. But how did chapter two stack up? Keep reading to learn more:
ACTING | 5/5
STORYLINE | 4.5/5SCARINESS | 2/5I will say that, to the person who is easily scared, this film will be scary for you. You will jump and you might be a little scared if you're walking out of the movie theatre alone. However, if you're a horror connoisseur, this film is childs play! SPECIAL EFFECTS | 5/5
UNDERLYING MEANING | 3/5
FINAL THOUGHTS AND REVIEW | 4/5I'd give this film a 4/5. I enjoyed watching it and thought that the film as a whole was good as a film. I personally don't think it is a good horror film, but I also don't know if it wasn't really scary, or if my tolerance for scariness increases by the year. Anyway, it is definitely worth a watch. Let me know what you think of the film in the comments.
