The Rookie Series Premiere – “Pilot” Review. A Rough Start With Potential
The thing I love and hate about series premieres is how much they pack into a single episode. I love the amount of information I’m getting but I don’t always like how it’s packaged. Sometimes, things about a character need to unfold slowly while others need to be unveiled immediately to help you understand the reason behind the story. While I enjoyed most of The Rookie’s premiere, dubbed simply “Pilot,” there is room for improvement. I will continue to watch because I absolutely adore Nathan Fillion who plays the lead character, John Nolan.

Movie Review: Sadie. A Revelation! It’s Dark, Intense, and Full of Angst.
Though the title of this film may sound benign, the contents within Sadie are far from it. Writer and director Megan Griffiths gives the audience a visceral and eye-opening look from an adolescent’s perspective on everyday situations in an adult-centric world. Some scenes may be shocking for some, however; the way Sadie is written, there is no room for sugar-coating anything. The performance by young actress Sophia Mitri Schloss in the title role of Sadie is award worthy. Schloss’ portrayal of a teenager who’s caught between childhood and puberty is outstanding. While Sadie possesses some childlike qualities, she’s also on the cusp of becoming a dark and cynical human being.
