First post on Mettel Ray written by a thirty year old me… wooooohooo! I wanted to do a special post for my actual birthday, which was on Tuesday, but that didn’t happen. So now you’ll get a special post on Saturday, but today is Thursday time. And on Thursdays, we recommend movies, and since it’s Valentine’s Day – it’s also romance time! But if you’re anything like me, romance is the last thing you want to think about during Valentine’s…
With the inevitable doom approaching* , I sat down to look more closely at the Best Animated Feature Film category. Just like last year, I picked a category I feel the most passionate about. And with this year’s dramas (around so many of the big categories), animated feature films seemed like a safer way to go.…
Another Thursday is upon us and this week I’m recommending movies that revolve around revenge. It also just happens that all these movies feature female characters revenging men in one way or the other. One is a bit more fun but the other two are pretty revengy.…
There are some shows you watch just for the fun of it. Shows that you put on and leave on just because it has a some what nice view going on. It’s like background noise, which you can’t focus on too much. Otherwise all its flaws will surface and you’ll be annoyed with it. Tidelands is one of those shows.…
The always wonderful Margaret over at Cinematic Corner ranked her boos on Twitter ages ago. And of course that gave me the idea to rank my own. Because, let’s face it, this blog deserves some eye candy! So here it is, eye candy time! Based on my current mood and emotional state (fragile and hormonal), I’m ranking ten of my current actor baes.…
This year’s first Television Edition theme is all about those new shows that came out in 2018. Without actually going crazy and talking about my favourite among the last year’s freshmen, Bodyguard, I’m going with a theme within a theme! You guys seems to love these so let’s make it a bit more interesting this time around. I’m not going to tell you what the theme is, and I’ll let you tell me in the comments, what all three of…
My first Blindspot entry for 2019 is Solaris and I couldn’t be more proud. Not only did I watch an almost 3 hour movie, it was also in Russian, making me read subtitles throughout. Those who know me, know, that subtitles so not appeal to me. Neither do really long movies. But sci-fi is one of my favourite genres, so I’m excited to have knocked off Solaris from my Blindspot list.…
The first UK original Netflix show Sex Education premiered two weeks ago and I binge watched it in one sitting. It was fun, funny, emotional and an amazing commentary on society, sex and acceptance. I’m already calling it my favourite of 2019 because I don’t think anything else is going to be as entertaining and heartwarming as Sex Education.…
While I do love this theme for giving me a chance to hate on films I dislike, I’ve actually never walked out of a movie. I’ve thought about it but once I pay for something, I tend to see it through. But since I have had thoughts about walking out, I’ll go with films that I should have walked out of.…
It’s been another hot minute since the last Commercial Break. I’ve been somewhat off-center with my time management lately and kept pushing writing into tomorrow’s duties. Now it’s been three weeks, most of January is gone and it feels like I’m rusty again. No worries though, it was all part of a plan. Because Commercial Break will from now be a monthly feature. Why? Well, let me explain……
