Four Good Days (2020)
I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE TO HEROIN! Anyone who has a different rating clearly hasn't had an " actual " problem when they were young.
I had tears in my eyes from the beginning of this movie. When it was over the flashes from my past were going through my head. My first thought " I have to have my mother watch this with me, she cannot see this without me there"! Now, it was not always that way, see I became clean from using literally EVERY I could get my hands on and our relationship suffered tremendously. My only true love from the first time ( I didn't know what it was) HEROIN. It was everything! My love, soul, heartbreak, emotional blanket, my lover, my kiss, my pain, I mean it was EVERYTHING! This story isn't about her getting clean in my eyes, it's about all the pain that happens when you are the parent or the child and have seen this first hand or been there. I got sober at 18...almost 19. My mother and I today are so amazing but I still sometimes look at her and have to stop myself from tearing up. I put her into actual living hell. I'm 40 years old now. I haven't touched heroin once since the day I woke up and decided that was it. This movie moved me in so many ways.....the end.
Sno Babies (2020)
I lived this...
I unfortunately chose the wrong fork in the ride one night at the age of 14 and lived this nightmare for 5 straight years. My internal pain was so severe and I had already started doing drugs..one night someone asked if I wanted to try "cheese". I didn't know what it was exactly but I didn't even know it was heroin until like 8-9 months later. I grew up in Plano, Tx in the 90s and it was considered a "Heroin Capital". I almost didn't make it. I woke up one day and caught a real glimpse of myself in the mirror and tears fell out of my eyes and I stopped on my own and I haven't ever used again. The withdrawal lasted for a few months not days or even weeks. I never had sex for drugs or got pregnant but this portrayal of what it's like emotionally is pretty damn close. Kudos for the message from the directors.
Life in Pieces (2015)
No real spoilers...promise!
I thought this show was great! I was laughing super hard from the pilot on. However, at first I really loved everyone's character ( they do a great job of having you care for them individually from the pilot) except Colleen...her acting is terrible and you really don't get annoyed at first but good lord she gets so annoying. I don't believe that was supposed to be the case so I just kept watching because everybody else's dynamic and interaction in great! I was so disappointed that it was cancelled...this show made me like cry belly laughing.
Pretty Little Liars (2010)
A few things I just don't understand...
First, the show does get redundant but I get the bigger picture which is why I still liked it. Sasha casted as "The IT girl"?! She is by far the least attractive! Then...there are her acting skills which are just BAD! I mean I've seen better acting when a friend is doing an impression of someone. Allison is the most annoying part of the whole show. Period! I wish I could say it was just her character but it's Sasha. She shouldn't be allowed on screen.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017)
Love this show!
This show has every feel! It's so damn funny and so relatable! I literally just wait like a spider for the next seasons to come. 👌🏼
