I literally can't wait for PD to return. The one thing that I'm literally looking forward is how Ruzek and Antonio's relationship will be during this whole mess. They weren't any brotherly love at the start of the season.

You can catch the return of Chicago PD next Wednesday at 10/9c on NBC.

Oh man! I can't wait til Med returns. I have a feeling that Bekker tries to decline Rhodes' offer on going to the gala. Can't wait to see the son-father fist fight. As for Manstead, I still have hope that these two will be married, but I know too much damage has been done with one lie from Will.

You can catch the return of Chicago Med next Wednesday at 8/7c on NBC.

Unsane: An Underdog Movie of 2018


Image result for Unsane



If there was one movie in 2018 that stood out from the rest with all the superhero movies, it has to be Unsane. Let me just say that Unsane was insane.

The film is about Sawyer Valentini (played by Claire Foy), who's had a troubled history of moving away from her stalker and decides to get help and talk with a counselor. But after her appointment, she unknowingly signed papers for her to be committed to 24 24-hour stay at Highland Creek Behavioral Center.  She tries to get out, even calling the cops and her mother, but they can't do anything.

She develops a friendship with Nate Hoffman (played by Jay Pharoah), a patient at Highland; that doesn't start too well but ends up maybe being more than just friends. But when Sawyer sees her stalker, David Strine (played by Joshua Leonard), posing as one of the orderlies, she has an outburst, repeating whether she's insane.

But she plays to David's game after he killed Nate and even Sawyer's mother. Sawyer breaks David down to the point where he follows her orders because he cares for her so much that he would do anything for her to rape a patient in front of her.  But as he performs, Sawyer attacks escapeescapets caught again by David and drives her to his place through the woods. But she escapes again, and he goes after her again, but as she gets caught again, she stabs David in the neck and kills him.

After Sawyer is back at work, he seems to be okay, but when she thinks, she spots David again a few feet away from where Sawyer is eating. She soon walks up there with a knife until she sees it isn't him. She runs out and drives off.

"Unsane" is a fantastic work that asks if the lead character is insane or not. It starts slowly and builds up to an intense and dramatic high. Claire Foy gives another fantastic performance as Sawyer, and her chemistry with Pharoah is excellent. It feels like a documentary, and one of the astonishing facts about this movie is that it was shot from an iPhone 7. It has the Cookoo's Nest feel to it. Steven Soderbergh, who directed the film, gives another masterpiece once again.  If you haven't seen "Unsane," find the time to see it.

Overall, I give it a 9/10.

You can find "Unsane" on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital.

Plus I can't wait to see what's gonna happen on The Good Place as the season comes to an end. FBI has been a huge improvement since the pilot and I hope CBS will give it a shot for a second season. As much as I enjoyed the return of Roseanne this year, I'm loving The Conners even better.

Here's to a new year!

Christmas With The Huangs!: Fresh Off the Boat "Cousin Eddie" fall finale

Image result for fresh off the boat "Cousin Eddie" 2018



It's one of the best Christmas episodes of Fresh Off the Boat that I could remember, even the one from last season. Here's a recap!

As Christmas is near Jessica and Louis begins their traditional family Christmas routine, but Eddie wants to go visit Nicole in New York City. But Jessica won't allow it and makes Eddie do what they normally do from decorating the Christmas tree to a family photo to even going to the Nutcracker, but it turns into a battle of mom vs son.

Eddie tries to ruin and get out of the tradition from volunteering at the shelter and brings a friend over too, but Jessica wouldn't give in playing along to Eddie's game. But when Jessica realized that her angel on the top of the tree is broken, she lost it and canceled Christmas.

Jessica talks to Eddie and tells him that the reason why she does these traditions is that it worked so well with him as a baby. And after that, it was like they grew closer this holiday season and not only fixed Jessica's angel but performed the classic holiday tune "Christmas In Hollis" by Run-DMC, which was classic!!

Meanwhile, with Marvin and Honey went to visit Nicole in New York City, Louis allowed the kids to bring a friend over to their house for Christmas. As it was easy for Emery, it was hard for Evan to figure out who he can bring over because he has so many people that he calls his friend. Even Louis couldn't help and learned that Evan got his decision making from him. But it was a Christmas miracle from It's a Wonderful Life as Emery got all of his friends to come over. That was till Evan decides to send them home because Emery was his best friend.

"Cousin Eddie" was not only hilarious but it hit the holiday family spirit on the head. The title of the episode never made sense, but it was by far the best Christmas episode that I could remember. I just love the mother-son battle between Jessica and Eddie and learning the reason why Jessica does these traditions just makes you grab some tissues.  It was a strong episode with great character development, writing, and performances from the cast. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Fresh Off the Boat when they return with new episodes on Friday, January 11 at 8/7c on ABC.
