The Alienist (2018)
Weak effort
First off let me say Dakota Fanning was awful in this character. Did not portray the Sarah from the book very well. Was a bit hard to watch the scenes with her. The rest of the main actors I had no problem with.
Next, I understand the show has to be different than the book, but I felt it moved way too fast without any of the in depth investigating the characters did in the book.
Overall, it was a bummer to watch because the book was brilliant, and the storyline in S1 is there....
The Lincoln Lawyer (2022)
Not too bad
I always enjoy a good courtroom drama. I did not read the books, so I can't compare the two. That being said, some of the characters and their story lines were weak. I loved Lorna, probably because I loved her in Ugly Betty, but Izzy and Maggie were kind of blah. Also, it was a bit predictable. But I still liked it.
Queen of the South (2016)
Alice Braga Is a robot
Literally no expression for anything. Her NOLA boyfriend was the dumbest addition and made no sense. Has nothing to do with the book, which was great. Predictable but ok.
Selena: The Series (2020)
A misleading series
For any true Selena fan, don't watch this. If the horrible acting and less-than-convincing costumes doesn't ruin it for you, the slow, obnoxious pace will. Disappointing for sure!
The Nightingale (2018)
Brutal
I kinda felt sick after this. Great acting, but definitely a movie you only want to watch one
Brave (2012)
It's not as bad as everyone stops
Definitely not the best Disney movie, but it's still cute and witty and has a good message. I think I like it more every time I watch it
