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.

Advance Movie Review: Lawless – Sometimes the simplest way of life gets complicated

Advance Movie Review: Lawless - Sometimes the simplest way of life gets complicated 4

Starring Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf, Guy Pearce, Jessica Chastain, Gary Oldman, Mia Wasikowska, and Jason Clarke – Lawless transports you to a place and time steeped heavily in tradition and old-fashioned southern values, sometimes unyielding and uncompromising just like the Bondurant brothers. If you’re looking for a good old-fashioned moonshine, shoot’em-up movie, Lawless is a step above that.

Wilfred is a Cat-Napper? Review: Wilfred, S2 “Honesty”

Wilfred is a Cat-Napper? Review: Wilfred, S2 "Honesty" 5

Honestly, I rather liked “Honesty.” It was reminiscent of the Wilfred of yore (season one). There were funny moments, weird and awkward moments and moments that crept into the darker side, which is what I like. Jenna asks Ryan for a big favor and Wilfred gets catty.

Pass The Dutchie… Review: Suits, S2 Mid-Season Finale “High Noon”

Pass The Dutchie... Review: Suits, S2 Mid-Season Finale "High Noon" 7

“High Noon” is exciting, intriguing, infuriating, eye-popping, and throws in a little tear-jerker moment for good measure. I was absolutely glued to my seat and couldn’t take my eyes off the screen, this episode is so engaging. From Jessica (Gina Torres) getting the short end of the stick after all the votes are tallied, to Harvey and Donna (Sarah Rafferty) having to move to the 46th floor (gasp), things take a strange turn for everyone at Pearson Hardmon.

The (Bastard) Prince of Portland? Review: Grimm, S2 “The Kiss”

The (Bastard) Prince of Portland? Review: Grimm, S2 "The Kiss" 8

The cryptic clues to Cpt. Sean Renard’s (Sasha Roiz) identity throughout “The Kiss” had me salivating. I knew he was something…else, and as Catherine (Jessica Tuck) mentions, he’s “barely human.” But what he is isn’t exactly quite clear. And as the episode unfolds, more is revealed and that makes me very happy.

The future is unknown… Review: Falling Skies, S2 Finale “A More Perfect Union”

The future is unknown... Review: Falling Skies, S2 Finale "A More Perfect Union" 10

While I believe there are Skitters who want to be free of the oppression of the humanoid overlords, I think they may have their own agendas once the overlords are defeated. After learning from the Skitters that the overlord is creating some sort of weapon, it makes me wonder if the Skitters are leading the 2nd Mass into an ambush.

“…tapped it and scrapped it” Review: Wilfred, S2 “Service”

"...tapped it and scrapped it" Review: Wilfred, S2 "Service" 11

“Service” is a bit better than last week’s episode, but just barely. While there were early chuckles, thanks to the much underutilized Rob Riggle who plays Kevin, one of Ryan’s (Elijah Wood) co-workers, the rest of the humor, or shall I say attempts at humor, were sort of lost on me. Perhaps in a later episode, we’ll learn the reason behind Wilfred’s (Jason Gann) strange…diet, if you will.

Interview PART 2 with Mark Lewis, Series Producer of Syfy's PARANORMAL WITNESS 12

This second half of the interview speaks about an upcoming episode based on true events entitled “The Dybbuk Box.” It’s rumored that the Dybbuk Box is a Jewish wine box that houses an evil spirit. I’m very anxious to see what Mark and his team come up with in the episode.

More bad mushrooms? Review: Warehouse 13, S4 "There's Always a Downside" 13

Artie is on edge and doing something we haven’t seen in a long while, switching up the teams. He’s putting Myka and Jinks together, leaving Claudia and Pete to form a new dynamic duo. One of the cases gives a whole new meaning to the term ‘losing your marbles.’

"Your mother scares the crap outta me, man!" Review: Grimm, S2, "Bad Teeth" 14

“Bad Teeth” picks up a little from the season one finale where Nick (David Giuntoli) comes face to face with his mother, Kelly (guest star Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio). And someone sends a vicious Mauvais Dentes to Portland to track down Nick and the coins.

Play dead or fight? Review: Falling Skies, S2 "The Price of Greatness" 15

The 2nd Mass gets a hero’s welcome when they arrive in Charleston, the new capital of the new United States. But the bountiful meal and standing ovation are mere pretenses and things get very real, very quickly. What the 2nd Mass hoped would be a new mecca is nothing more than a haven for cowards.

Truth – I miss Wilfred from season 1. Review: Wilfred, S2 “Truth”

Truth - I miss Wilfred from season 1. Review: Wilfred, S2 "Truth" 16

A show of hands — who is disappointed with season two so far? I had to put both my hands up because I’m disheartened at how much this show has taken a turn for the…deep. Deep, as in the writers are diving too deep into the psyche of the characters and focusing less on the amazing dark comedy showcased in season one.

Round Table Discussion: Warehouse 13 - "An Evil Within" 20

As you know, Warehouse 13 is one of my favorite shows. I’ve been a guest commentator on the Warehouse 13 Round Table, along with Jim and Nick, at TV Fanatic. Here’s our discussion for the second episode “An Evil Within”

Eww, Ryan Gets "...jizz blasted..." Review: Wilfred "Avoidance" 21

I am torn. I laughed a lot during “Avoidance” but I was also very…uncomfortable. In an effort to avoid making the issue bigger later (as noted in the quote), I admit that the whole ejaculation portion of this episode grossed me out.

“Scones and evil, that’s what we do.” Review: Warehouse 13 S4, “An Evil Within”

"Scones and evil, that's what we do." Review: Warehouse 13 S4, "An Evil Within" 22

While Brother Adrian (guest star Brent Spiner) seeks Artie’s assistance to find the person who stole and used the astrolabe, Pete (Eddie McClintock) and Myka (Joanne Kelly) must figure out why people are seeing outrageous tentacled monsters. Claudia uses the metronome to save Jinks but there are ramifications.

Sean Renard), Bitsie Tulloch (Juliette), and Silas Weir Mitchell (Monroe). I also got a brief moment to speak with executive producers Todd Milliner and Sean Hayes.

“Squishy tits!” Review: Wilfred, S2 Ep 205 “Control”

"Squishy tits!" Review: Wilfred, S2 Ep 205 "Control" 24

“Control” takes a couple of turns and while I wasn’t sure how the episode would go as it began with “squishy tits” then jumped to a disastrous dinner party at Ryan’s (Elijah Wood), all in all, it was a very entertaining. There were great awkward moments that you weren’t quite sure if you should laugh or not. What I found most enjoyable in “Control” is Bear (the teddy bear). Wilfred claims, “Bear’s back on the wagon; five weeks sober. It’s a miracle,” but Bear’s rowdy behavior suggests she or it may be back on the wagon.
