Judy Manning

Dream chaser extraordinaire! Judy tends to be a tad sarcastic and kind of goofy! She is an avid admirer of all things supernatural, paranormal, celestial and mystical. She loves to read, write, and watches way too much TV. She enjoys many genres of film and music (and let's be honest, most music from the 80s). She also has a wicked sweet tooth. Cupcakes beware.

Poignant, Visceral, and Surprisingly Funny. Movie Review: Lee Daniels’ THE BUTLER

Poignant, Visceral, and Surprisingly Funny. Movie Review: Lee Daniels' THE BUTLER 3

This is an amazing, Oscar® caliber film sure to garner much higher praise than I could ever write in this review. I absolutely love this film and highly recommend you see it. It’s poignant, visceral, moving, inspiring, and at times, very funny. From the cinematography, acting, set designs, locations, writing, and directing, this film is outstanding. I could feel the heat of the sun as young Cecil Gaines (Michael Rainey, Jr.) picks cotton in the fields with his father Earl (David Banner). I could feel the hatred as patrons of Woolworth spit on and shove activists lobbying to get equal service at the counter. I could feel the passion as Louis (David Oyelowo), Cecil’s (Forest Whitaker) eldest son, goes against his father to fight for what he believes as he joins the Black Panther Party. And I could feel the pain of Cecil mourning the death of one our nation’s most iconic presidents.

Young. Naïve. Infamous. Movie Review: LOVELACE (Starring Amanda Seyfried) 8

I cannot make claims that I know anything about Deep Throat, a 1972 film featuring real-life porn star, Linda Lovelace. I haven’t seen the film or anything else that relates to it. I went into the pre-screening for Lovelace armed with little knowledge of the film’s center of attention, Linda Lovelace, but I left with a more knowledgeable view of this woman, and how she affected a whole generation.

Small Victories and Perplexing Situations. Retrospective: Falling Skies, Season 3 Finale — “Brazil”

Small Victories and Perplexing Situations. Retrospective: Falling Skies, Season 3 Finale — “Brazil” 10

Since the beginning of the season, I had my suspicions about the Volm and why they wanted to help Earth escape the wrath of the tyrannical Espheni. I didn’t think they were a malicious race but I did think the Volm had other plans in mind and I was right, in a sense. As the season ends, questions are answered only to be replaced by more complex queries that will make waiting for season four torturous, at best.

Delivering the news that Anne and baby Alexis are dead to his three sons couldn’t have been easy yet, I’m not sold on their demise. Yes, we saw a cocoon-like tomb encasing Anne and Alexis in “Strange Brew,” but that doesn’t mean they are dead. Right? As we dive into “Journey to Xibalba,” we are met with setbacks and revelations as time continues to tick away for Earth and her residents.
