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.

Article: ABC's Once Upon A Time panel at Paleyfest 2012 1

Once Upon A Time at Paleyfest 2012: The video speaks for itself. (And I have the entire panel discussion thanks to a full battery and no technical issues!) There are many wonderful moments, but one that immediately stands out in my mind is when an audience member from England thanks Josh Dallas (Prince Charming/David) for getting her 12 year old granddaughter “off Justin Bieber.” The entire place roared with laughter! It was hysterical.

Review: #JustifiedFX "Watching The Detectives" ("ice-cold, remorseless, bottle blonde, sh*t bag killer") 3

Raylan – a dirty cop? Who would believe such a thing? Apparently Winona is having some doubts. Limehouse wants to “back the winning side” meaning he’s in Quarles’ corner – things are really taking an interesting turn. And Duffy wants to break Raylan over a step ladder and ride him like a teaser pony! I never expected those words to fall from his lips.

Movie Review: Disney’s “John Carter” – A Fantastical Sci-Fi Adventure You Don’t Want To Miss! #JohnCarter

Movie Review: Disney's "John Carter" - A Fantastical Sci-Fi Adventure You Don't Want To Miss! #JohnCarter 4

John Carter blew my expectations out of the water! The 3D effects are amazing and the action is stupendous! John Carter captivates and entertains from the moment it starts to its very cryptic ending! Rarely has a movie, especially of this genre and length, had me so enthralled. This is a fantastic movie filled with adventure, drama, action, flying ships, laughter, and yes, romance…but not in the conventional way.

Review: #JustifedFX “The Man Behind The Curtain” (We ain’t in Kansas, Dorothy and the Wizard sends a Weasel)

Review: #JustifedFX "The Man Behind The Curtain" (We ain't in Kansas, Dorothy and the Wizard sends a Weasel) 5

What I enjoy most about “The Man Behind The Curtain” is we don’t really get to see the real man behind the curtain. We meet Sammy, the son of the man who calls the shots from Detroit who, in turn, controls Quarles. We also get a glimpse of how Quarles is treated while in Detroit yet, he’s the “swinging dick” (so to speak) in Harlan because he’s the city-slicker in the fancy suits. I love the multifaceted puzzle we are presented with: Arlo calling after his “late wife” up in Noble’s Hollar; Boyd banking with Limehouse for firsthand information; Raylan sleeping in a rented room above a local dive bar (what the…); and Quarles taking orders from his weasel step-brother.

TV News: HBO Films’ GAME CHANGE with Julianne Moore, Woody Harrelson and Ed Harris Debuts March 10. 6

Julianne Moore, Woody Harrelson and Ed Harris star in HBO Films’ GAME CHANGE. Directed by Jay Roach and written by Danny Strong – the team behind the Emmy®-winning HBO Films drama “Recount” – GAME CHANGE offers a searing behind-the-scenes look at John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, from the selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as McCain’s vice presidential running mate to their defeat in the general election. Told through the eyes of McCain strategist Steve Schmidt, the man who most championed Palin for the ticket, the film revisits a defining moment in U.S. politics.

Movie: BERNIE – starring Jack Black (Dark comedy based on true story of Asst. Funeral Director in Texas)

Movie: BERNIE - starring Jack Black (Dark comedy based on true story of Asst. Funeral Director in Texas) 7

Based on a true story: In the tiny, rural town of Carthage, TX, assistant funeral director Bernie Tiede was one of the town’s most beloved residents. He taught Sunday school, sang in the church choir and was always willing to lend a helping hand. Everyone loved and appreciated Bernie, so it came as no surprise when he befriended Marjorie Nugent, an affluent widow who was as well known for her sour attitude as her fortune. The people of Carthage were shocked when it was reported that Marjorie Nugent had been dead for some time, and Bernie Tiede was being charged with the murder.

Review: #JustifiedFX "When the Guns Come Out" (Not too many guns but plenty of thugs, whores, and pimps) 8

Trust your gut instincts. I should have trusted mine about Winona (Natalie Zea) wanting to high-tail it out of town. Not only has Winona been gone for weeks, everyone and their mothers seem to know she’d already checked out of the relationship with Raylan (Timothy Olyphant). I wish I would have put two and two together from the first episode when a State Trooper had to find Winona to tell her Raylan had been shot. Was I so blind? Too blind to see what’s in front of me because I was wishing and hoping Raylan had found some semblance of normalcy with Winona? So what else am I missing that I may have been temporarily blind to previously?

Review: #JustifiedFX "Thick As Mud" (The Misadventures of Dewey Crow...to be or not to be...without kidneys?) 12

As I suspected, Dewey (Damon Herriman) is lying in a bathtub, sans the ice. Poor thing, it appears both kidneys have been removed by Lance (Clayne Crawford) or “Lawrence Nightingale” as Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) calls him, leaving Dewey up the proverbial Shit’s Creek without a boat or a paddle. But, don’t believe everything you see.

Review: #JustifiedFX "The Devil You Know" ("I'm sensing a disturbance in the force.") 17

Ellstin Limehouse is holding money for the Bennett family and we know every Tom, Dickie (Jeremy Davies), and Harry wants it. Of course, now that Dickie is out of jail, thanks to prison guard Ash and male nurse Lance, things go from bad to worse. While I find the whole ‘get the money’ scheme a bit overdone, I will say “The Devil You Know” is quite entertaining and very humorous.

Review: #JustifiedFX “Harlan Roulette” (“this ain’t Russian Roulette, it’s Harlan Roulette”)

Review: #JustifiedFX "Harlan Roulette" ("this ain't Russian Roulette, it's Harlan Roulette") 20

The new season of Justified seems a bit more cutthroat and treacherous, not to mention bloody. “Harlan Roulette” spares no expense on any of it. While Ava (Joelle Carter) visits Ellstin Limehouse (Mykelti Williamson) to ask if he’ll meet with Boyd (Walton Goggins) to discuss relinquishing the money he’s holding for Dickie Bennett (Jeremy Davies); Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) must contend with some ruthless Oxy dealers.

Review: #JustifiedFX "Cut Ties" ("a man who’s sleeping with his dead brother’s widow and murderess.." ) 21

“Cut Ties,” however entertaining, merely sets the stage for what’s to come. Raylan plays house with Winona; Boyd can’t seem to play well with others while he’s locked up and finally gets a moment alone to talk to Dickie; A Marshal is killed and new Asst. Director Goodall (guest star Carla Gugino) comes down to KY to find out what’s going on. Dickie reveals that an old family friend, Limehouse (guest star Mykelti Williamson) has his momma’s money, which poses an obstacle for Boyd.

Review: Spartacus: Vengeance "Fugitivus" (Blood Soaked Vengeance Stained on the Lips of Gladiators) 22

As I watch anxiously to see how McIntyre embodies our beloved Thracian, I am happy to report that not only does McIntyre perform admirably, “Fugitivus” in and of itself is enthralling! I wait with bated breath as the first scene unfolds, bloody and unyielding in its violence. If you are faint of heart and cannot stand the gore of blood splattering, I suggest you steel yourself because this is a show not to be missed!
