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.

Movie Review: Argo (“This is the best bad idea that we have…”)

Movie Review: Argo ("This is the best bad idea that we have...") 1

Argo is absolutely incredible! Director and star Ben Affleck takes you on an intense, pulse-racing, heart-pounding journey as we watch Tony Mendez (Affleck) extricate six Americans from a tumultuous Iran in 1980.

Life Sucker and a New Stranger in Town. Review: Haven, S2 “The Farmer”

Life Sucker and a New Stranger in Town. Review: Haven, S2 "The Farmer" 2

What do you do when you think you only have “46 days” left before you vanish? “The Farmer” grabs you and takes you on an emotional and jarring ride. Starting with Duke trying to get through to a stubborn Audrey and then a grizzly crime scene, it appears like things in Haven are getting more chaotic as “The Hunter” approaches. And let’s not forget the new stranger in town. I love how the writers are challenging us to think outside the box with the curious cases of “the troubled” in Haven they are dishing out this season.

Old Friends and New Enemies. Review: Grimm, S2 “Over My Dead Body”

Old Friends and New Enemies. Review: Grimm, S2 "Over My Dead Body" 3

After seeing Angelina (guest star Jaime Ray Newman) in the previews, I was kind of hoping for some pig-like creatures; instead we get a vicious looking King Cobra creature known as a Königschlange. Angelina may be a female, but she’s a big, badass Blutbad, making me hope for some semblance of the Three Little Pigs fairy tale. Even though that’s not exactly what happens, “Over My Dead Body” does stir up a heaping pile of trouble, causing Monroe’s (Silas Weir Mitchell) life to hang in the balance.

No Ring Around The Rosie…Review: Warehouse 13, S4, Mid-Season Finale “We All Fall Down”

No Ring Around The Rosie...Review: Warehouse 13, S4, Mid-Season Finale "We All Fall Down" 5

Tissues handy? Check. If you are a die-hard fan of Warehouse 13 like I am, experiencing the emotional discovery of Leena’s (Genelle Williams) lifeless body will have you sobbing as much as Myka (Joanne Kelly), Pete (Eddie McClintock), and Claudia (Allison Scagliotti). I think the most unbelievable part about Leena’s death is not that she’s actually dead but that Artie (Saul Rubinek) is the murderer. Sure, it’s not the real Artie but his psychotic evil doppelganger that resides within him—nonetheless, he’s the trigger man and that’s a tough pill for our team to swallow.

Close Encounters of the Troubled Kind. Review: Haven, S3 "301" 14

Close encounters…of the troubled kind is what’s in store for Havenites. An alien abduction, magnetic fields, invisible forces attacking, crop circles, and lights in the sky—is Haven being invaded by space aliens, or is this the work of a “troubled” mind? As Duke (Eric Balfour) points out, “Everything that’s happening now, happened before.”

Punching Bag. Review: Warehouse 13, S4 "Second Chances" 16

“Second Chances” packs a lot of punches—both literally and figuratively. After begrudgingly taking a mysterious case of people rusting away, Myka and Pete head to a small steel mill town in West Virginia to investigate. Jinks and Claudia take a trip to his hometown to find answers to him being free of the metronome. And back at the warehouse, Artie must contend with Mrs. Frederic about the astrolabe.

And despite the fact I’ve done this before, I was so nervous stepping onto the press line.
