Congrats to Julianne Moore on winning an Oscar for her marvellous performance in Still Alice! It should have been her 5th, but what can you do.

Greys 11.13

How excellent was this week’s Greys? I just couldn’t stop crying. What are the chances Nicole lives?

Owen, thank you for bringing me the coffee.
So, how’s my head?
I like her.
Get me out!
But so am I.
Stop crying.
Cause that’s the way it goes.
Thank you for tking her case.
Oh shut up.
I’m on the edge of figuring it out.
You are my mentor. I believe in you.
Get it together, Dr. Shepherd.
My whole life I have been the other Shepherd.
Night night tumor baby it has been lovely. But we are done.
This surgery will be history.
Excellent. Excellent. You should be very proud of yourself.
Arizona, it’s time.
This is the part where you trust her.
I wanted to leave a legacy.
Don’t you dare say it, Nicole.
Somw thing you just have to leave behind.

SVU 16.16

Worst episode of SVU ever. Even Marcia Cross did not help.

Just tell me that he doesn’t need to know.
He’s gone. As in taken.
Last words from the grave.

Cougar Town 6.08

You know it’s 9am?
Already?
Why does Grayson have a picture of Pink in the bathroom?
Grayson is trying to get her arms.
How could i’ve not noticed that?
No just chitchatting. Unless that was gold. Was it?
I thought it would be some gay sex film he did in high school. This is boring.
There are things that I hate. Vegans.
No one looks like they’re sex fighting. Okay this guy.
I’m the guy who’s in love with acting.
I don’t get any of this but wow!

Nashville 3.14

It was entertaining to see Rayna and Bucky fighting over the Edgehill artists. Rayna is going to sign Layla, but we all know Jeff is gonna bring Highway 65 down, unless he changes. I don’t want to see him blackmailing Rayna. Can Rayna not sign her if she says she wants Jeff to manage her carreer? Rayna should also sign Scarlett/Avery/Gunnar as a trio. I like that everyone is working on the albums. I now officialy want Luke gone. He doesn’t know Will’s gay and we all know what his reaction will be. Why do we still keep Teddy on?

Baby, I’m on it.
Is this because Jeff Fortem got fired?
I have not gained 75 pounds.
They’re realising all their artists from their contact.
Start from thw beginning. Why is he doing this?
I have no label, a crappy album of songs you made me record.
The masters are available, I can fix this.
I was wondering if maybe you can come add some guitars.
Oh crap, i got like 10 messages.
I can think of one label that will care.
All work on the album stops.
She’s a sucker for women in need.
She’s not? She can sing.
So I hope you like this, because I really want to work with you.
We’re signing her.
I got an offer from Highway 65.
So what you want mw to be your manager?
Do you want to be my manager?

10/10

Castle 7.16

What is wrong with this show? Why can’t there be better cases?

Whats going on down here?
Castle, we’ve got murder. To solve. Not to commit.
This might be a little out of our jurisdiction.
You’re gonna have to wear space suits.
Best case ever.
He volver did it.
There’s gonna be a few Castles running around.

Switched at Birth 4.08

Please don’t make me paint over that.
As a fellow street artist.
Just promise me I’ll never see your face.
Have you considered reaplying for art school?
In ASL we say happen past. We don’t have tenses.
I know.
We just say see and then tomorrow or sth.
You’re gonna sound uneducated if you use the wring tense.
Also you should makea typo to make it seem like you don’t care.
You might wanna lose the question mark.
Stop waiting for opportunities a d start making your own. You’re an artist. Create.
Hey red.
So tell me.
Wait what’s wrong with Sam?
You’re doing great.
Everyday heroes.
They just approved 6 more be benches.

Pretty Little Liars 5.21

Why don’t we leave Ali to rot in jail? So Andrew’s A? They always force scenes with the alleged A a few episodes before the season finale.

Can I ask you sth? A legal question.
U think it’s time we finally come clean and tell thw truth.
There’s more blood where that came from.
He burned him and made it seem like carjackung.
Warjack.
That means A hasn’t contacted him through email or text.
It might have crashed his skull.
For such a petite girl, you bring a lot of chaos.
Alison, who’s Warjack?

10/10

Eye Candy 1.07

How about we focus on the flirtual killer and get it solved before the show gets cancelled. And most importantly let’s save Lindy’s sister case.

Dollshouse.
You don’t get to play here.
Someone bought you out.
Lights camera freakshow.
Tommy hasn’t moved and Lindy’s still in the bathroom.
Who paid you?
He only wanted me to scare you.
You’re still my 10. My perfection.

How to Get Away With Murder 1.14

Everything that happened to me is because of you.
He was pressured by me.
Stand there and lie.
You lie to yourself, that’s how you do it.
Not all priests are paedophiles.
They’re not?
Doing photgraphy.
Were you molesting Brian?
I knew he’d find another Brian.
Still think he’s worth it?
I’m so confused. Does the book fo here or here?
Which liking? Like a brother?
At the altar?
Sorry I couldn’t be a better client for you.
Some sorority girls filed a report he was stalking them. I guess that was Annalise and Frank’s work.
What the hell’s going on?
Speak.
I took care of the judge.

10/10

How To Get Away with Murder 1.15

HTGAWM turned all The Killing and now we’re wondering who killed Rosie Larsen all over again. It was not at all surprising. It was obvious Sam hired a hitman, why else keep Frank around, n there was no way they’d let Rebecca live.

Shut up!
Sam might have been innocent.
I’m so sorry about all of this.
Help!
We’re not monsters! We don’t tie people up and hold them captive against their will. Who’ve you all become?
Some girl looking for Frank.
Oh good God.
You’ve been working with me for almost 6 months now and this is the crap case you present me with?
She killed herself when he was 12.
We’re team whatever freaking happened.
Whatev.
She’s a lesbian who’s in love with you complicated?
Eggs 911. Lawyer’s house.
Are you going to kill me Sam style.
Is that what you think I am? A freaking hitman?
He’s gay. Bi or experimenting.
Here’s thw thing. I love me, so I’m done.
He still loves you, even if he doesn’t know who you are anymore.
Would you shut up about freaking Rudy?!
Byt that doesn’t make her a monster.
Who let her go!?
No no no no no no please don’t be dead.
Because I’m that guy? Of course not.

Birdman

One of the films that stays with you a few hours after leaving the theatre. And a few hours later, I found myself thinking of this is a film an every man would enjoy, and sadly I don’t think so. This film is made for film/theatre/tv people as it focuses on what it is like not so much on working in the industry, but trying to show your work and make sure it matters. As a person who studies film, and is a control freak, who as the main character, has written, directed and starred in their work, and who has tried to execute it to the best of my competence and time, I can see how overprotective an artist gets over their work, sometimes and not so uncommonly, to the point of insanity. I wanted it to win a Golden Globe for best picture, at least the Oscars Academy shared my views. Was Emma Stone’s performance worthy of the Golden Globe and Oscar nominations?

10/10

Cake

A very relatable character in a not so special movie. Don’t read the imdb page, as the critics have given it a 49/100, which, according to the fact that half of mediocre horror films have more is a misunderstanding, and why you should never judge a film by some critic’s review. Watch it yourself, what do you have to lose, besides 1.5h? I have missed seeing Felicity Huffman in films. After Transamerica her carreer should have been taken to a new level. Good thing, she has a new show coming up next week. Is it Jen’s best performance and was it worth a Golden Globe nomination? Wouldn’t it be better if let’s say Marion Cotillard for it? Or Hilary Swank for It’s not you? Was the short Britt Robertson’s character trying to make it as an actress storyline really nececary? Shouldn’t Jen’s character kill herself at the end? Don’t you think it would be better if she never got kicked out of the therapy. Shouldn’t William H Macy had a bigger part than getting beaten by the main character. It had a lot of potential, but did not reveal half of it.

6.5/10

Paddington

The first I heard of this film was when I was in a British cinema sometime in October. I thought the idea of there finally being a Paddington bear film was a 10, and even though it’s impossible not to get emotional at the end of the kids film, this one lacked a lot. It was good for an animation, but not off the charts. Even seeing Hugh Boneville in the dress did not make me laugh as much as it should. And as much as I get the books, people being okay with a bear walking around, seemed at least strange.

6/10

Alexander and the terrible, horrible, not so good very bad say

I haven’t read the book, and for someone who has been obsessed with everything Australian, they crossed the world to live there, embarassing does not begin to cover it. Nothing more awkward when the only Aussie in the class does not get to do a presentation on Australia and the kid who gets it, mistakes Australia for Austria. The funniest part was Kerris Dorsey’s character drinking the cough syrup and getting high on it, ans Steve Carrel telling her to stop drinking it. This scene was very me. Did the mini van missing a door remind you of another Steve Carrell film? Miss Sunshine that is. Also, why does every single teen film right now has Bella Thorne in it? I would kill for someone to throw an Aussie themed birthday party for me.

6/10

The Gambler

I expected it to be much worse, and at the beginning it really was. It should have had more Jessica Lange, but overal, I liked it.

6.5/10

Adult world

Very nicely surprised with this one. A young writer stuck in the job she hates trying to start her writing carreer? Sounds too close to home. What’s even better her carreer started off just at the place she was forced to work in. Fourth favorite Emma Roberts film after It’s Kind of a Funny story, the Art of Getting By and Wild Child.

And this quotation I sent to my fellow writer friend the minute I finished waching the film, will go to the widgets when I renovate the site tomorrow.

‘You don’t suck, Amy. You don’t anything yet. That’s the point. You might be a great writer. Someday. I don’t know. You haven’t even lived yet. Go to jail, you know? Become a nun. Right now you’re just a suckling, little piglet. Just go out and live your life and get your heart broken.’

7.5/10

The Notebook

One of those girly films girls watch. I wish we didn’t know a grown up version of him was reading to her, I wish we saw them at the very end, this way it would bring some sort of shock and make the film that much better. I haven’t read the book, but I one or two great scenes, the lunapark scene when he jumps on the spinning wheel or my personal favorite, when they lay on the street? I wish I was that kind of person who jumps up and down on these kind of sories, but for some reason romance films aren’t for me.

5.5/10

The Best of Me

Like I said, I’m not a big fan of romances, but this one was missing something. I see all the mirrors to The Notebook, and I like the 20 year gap. Her son getting his heart was the most predictable thing I’ve seen in months. And how did he turned out to be brain dead if he got shot in his collarbone? I enjoyed the flashbacks and hated the present. I liked Liana in this, but the film was reaching and it never did. I doubt any of her films will ever be as good as Trust. Trust is a masterpiece.

3/10

Dear John

And I thought The Best of Me was cliche and predictable, this one was forcing the happy aural on a potentially sad story. Again, I haven’t read the book, but I bet it was easier to read it then watch. It was so bad it ached me to watch it. The very only scene I liked was when she jumped on him at the airport, that’s it. The bond they used to share by writing was great too, but I did not see that affection during those two weeks they spent together.

Greys 11.12

I guess it’s official, Nicole will die, as she’s the coolest character now. Casualy stealing furniture because it’s fun.

You have to decide how much you want to let out and how to keep the secret in.
What happened to the couch?
Robbins, do you live with residents? You’re a grown up. Get your own place. Residents gone wild!
Wasn’t there a couch there?
Yeah it used to be.
Is this about the naked resident?
It is good news.
You’re dirty.
It’s because of you?
It was all a lie. Our whole life was a lie.
Her.
That’s a beautiful name. So can I call you Rosaline?
Why don’t you?
My life is so much better now that I have nothing.
You should know, I’m not gonna have sex with you.
Shut up!
I’m gonna kill you now so.
It was just me, for 3 days.
I’m gonna marry that girl.

10/10

SVU 16.15

Great case, but we all knew Noah’s father is either a pimp or a John, so nothing new here. The whole squad goes undercover and we bump into our old Captain.

Carissi hasn’t moved in 20 minutes.
The female handler is known to us.
How about you shut your mouth.
Save it, cause I know that you speak English.
Check their ID’s.
I already did. They’re all fake.
They have my daughter.
This woman was pretending to be a sex trafficker? That’s a new defence.
Touching story.
It’s a slave trade.
I hope you didn’t make her any promises.
She’s not happy with the delivery.
Carissi’s driving? Great, they’re fonn lose him.
Got a supplier.
Illegal delivery of alcohol to a residence.
How about illegal distribution of alcohol to a private residence?
If’s also a big day for beer delivery.
One of his kids is sick. It’s a busy day.
Hey, how you doing?
Amanda, how many underaged girls do you have there?
I don’t know how you’re still standing.
I’m your sister in law and I’m the new supplier.
I do what I tell them to do.
That’s what I wanted to hear.
Who are these tresspassers? I don’t know them.
Who are you? I don’t know you.
I don’t know you either, superfly.
Do i wanna know why you’re dressed like that?
Buying? Wow, so now you’re trafficking.
Just one? I thought I taught you to think big.
I almost got my daughter killed.
Aerial has a real mom?
We know you’re a pimp.
It doesn’t matter. It matters what it looks like.
You kill her, you die too. Is she really worth it?
What doesn’t kill you…
Makes you a better detective.
You want me back in charge so badly?
Till we meet again.
You have a good team here.

10/10

Cougar Town 6.07

Hilarious. And Ellie Torres is me.

It’s like Tom’s right here.
Tell me you took that bitch down.
We lost a tree and gained a new patio set.
Score!
I signed us all as chaperons.
No because the high schoolers are making me take the liquor out.
I’ll act like I did at my own prom. I’ll be above it all and judge everyone.
How come I’m the only one who’s in the prom spirit?
My baby has no shot at a normal life.
Dudes. Weak.
I think it’s sweet. Car’s out front when you’re ready.
Don’t get pregnant! Sometimes I love you is a trick to get into your pants!
You’re ready for another adventure?
It’s time to put the popular girls into place.
Oh that guy looks like he’s over 18.
I only saw the ceiling.
Let’s just get into the car and see where the car takes us.
Andy’s fun.

8.5/10

Shameless 5.06

The best part was Sammy talking about how she almost got gang raped the first day of high school and got beat up by Ukranians for wanting to use the bathroom without cigs to exchange. I like her living with the Gallaghers. Fiona’s gonna choose Jimmy, though Guss a good guy too.

Mickey Milkovich? Say hello to him from me.
Cause the crazy orange boy took my baby.
This is not a summer camp, mam.
I was almost gang raped the first day of high school for not wearing a bra.
Ukranian girls beat me up the first week.
He’s the gay one with all the problems.
Not free, idiot. Legal.
New half sister.
Frank’s or Monica’s?
Liam almost died.
Your other husband is at the door.
You’re Guz? Don’t blow this up. She’s great.
His partner. Lover.
Can I go in with him?

8.5/10

Nashville 3.13

Maddie lost her contract, but Jeff got fired. Felt sorry for Layla.

Maddie, Welcome to Edgehill.
I almost died and no one cares.
There is no way Teddy would ever sign a thing like that.
You signed Maddie to Edgehill.
I expect to see her at 10am tomorrow morning.
You’re freaking Deacon Claybourne.
Layla Grant.
I know who she is.
I’m supposed to have Maddie at Edgehill at 10 tomorrow.
I’ve got you and you’ve got me.
On the second thought, maybe I’m changing my mind. Maybe I’m sticking around.
You gotta tell Rayna.
You better start driving towards Virginia.
No, I think I’m ready to sing that song now.
I swear it’s good for you. If just tastes like crap.
Standing in the driveway, tryana see it your way.
Cause they’re implicating you.
And I sure as hell don’t want my daughter to be anywhere near that.
I was talking about you, man.
Why don’t we let the music do the talking?
Your meeting was cancelled because I was fired.
Because you were sleeping with prostitutes.

10/10

Castle 7.16

So is 3XK dead? What does it mean for the show? No more 3XK episodes? Fvorite part? Castle casually hiding in the woods, or Alexis and Martha screaming.

Help her.
I can’t help it if her contact information is out of date.
She’s my wife.
Yeah. Where’s Castle?
I don’t believe you.
He sees the story. I see the evidence. But he sees the story.
You wanna help her, get inside his head. What’s his story.
The pain in your eyes. The suffering.
He’s calling from your house.
Aaa!
Where’s Alexis?
Aaaa! What the hell dad!?
Castle get back it’s a trap.
Beckett no!
That was the stupidest, most reckless, irresponsible stun you’ve ever pulled, Mr. Castle.
1000 hours of following Det Beckett.
Mr Castle welcome back.
Two days I didn’t know where you were and it nearlt killed me.

The Simpsons 26.13

Remember pixels? How you could see all of them and everything was Paint quality? Moe goes to the plant and Marge starts a taxi service. Also Flinstons opening sequence.

Gymnastics. Swimming.

4.5/10

Switched at Birth 4.07

Kathryn’s mother’s Alzheimers and companionship get the only points this week.

You were raped.
They’re lovers.
She’s my best friend and my lover.
Companionship.

2/10

Pretty Little Liars 5.20

And we’re back to very bad episodes. I repeat, no one cares about Mike. We didn’t learn anything new. A very teen episode.

Hanna, we’re not shopping here.
You’re new at this, aren’t you?
I’m gonna get that money for you.

1.5/10

Eye Candy 1.06

Non flirtual, and my favorite part was when the flirtual killer helped her. Now I’m starting to like the killer, but the episode was weak.

In other words, hackable.
Sick enough to vwt me into ICU.
Neurophysillis.
You should have a seizure or something.
She certainly does get around, doesnt she?
She swallowed it.
What do you mean by simple?
Want my help?

4/10

Scandal 4.13

I slept with that filthy animal to save your life.
She’ll be sold to some rape gang.
Olivia has been taken.
Hi Steven.
Hi Liv.
Once a gladiator, always a gladiator.
I wasn’t raped.
There’re worse things than rape.

8.5/10

How to Get Away With Murder 1.13

Best episode yet! The rape monologue was the best thing they have written on this show show. Proud of Paris Geller even when she says guilty instead of not guilty in the opening statement.

That’s why my client is guilty. Not guilty. That was a slip.
I didn’t rape him.
Filthy little secret.
Do you talk to Annalise when she tells you what to do?
Would you sleep with her? Who? Bonnie?
Can we not talk about sleeping with our clients?
Somebody’s always a student. Somebody’s always a teacher. That’s how the sex works best.
You didn’t tell me the raped guy was gay.
I have no idea how to win this case.
Did you know what he did to me?
I told you, men take things.
This thing that happened to me, what you ignore is why I am the way I am.
Your aunt Lynn was ut out by her 1st grade teacher. Pastor got me after the choir.
Is it because you’re desperate again?
Then he came out of your room and I knew what he had done to you.

Posting on Thursday again, as apparently I have too many shows. Especially since 5 of them I could easily let go of, but clearly they’re too adictive.

Greys 11.11

I hate everyone who did not know Amelia had a kid. If you watched Private Practice, I would still be watching my favorite show every Friday.

He can feel his bones breaking.
And this is?
A death certificate.
Why didn’t she ask me? I’m a person.
That’s not what she meant.
Show up for her, please. Show up for April.
My baby lived 43 minutes.

7/10

SVU 16.14

Not my favorite case, but still a 10. SVU never dissapoints. Fin’s a player and we’ll never know how did he convice Rollins and Carissi to go with him, but It was fun to watch him explain the language to everyone. A lady gamer ignores Liv’s words and ends up kidnapped and raped. It’s easy for us to say we’d listen, but would we really?

Hold on, you got Rollins and Carissi on this on a Sunday?
Even so, how is this SVU related? (me every domestic episode)
Who are you Steven Spielberg? (same at my work, bad camera image is always a problem)
They kidnap, rape and it’s a game?
I’m sure she’s real proud. (The guy’s mommy)

10/10

Cougar Town 6.06

I’m getting nostalgic already. Please don’t go, you guys. Tom as McSteamy? Also The Shining and Captain Philips references. How hilarious was that? I don’t know how I feel about Ellie going back to work and Andy being a stay at home dad. What about everything we’ve known about Ellie for the last 6 years? That she abandoned her job when she realized she doesn’t have to work anymore? Who’s going to hang out with Jules all day? Who’s going to put sarcasm and disdain into every conversation and say ‘imaginary hat’ and ‘changed approved’? I am not okay with this.

Heads, divorce, tails, murder.
I’m the Captain now.

5/10

Shameless 5.05

My dad called Shameless the second best show out there after SVU, and even though the last two episodes were much weaker, I couldn’t agree more. Ian has done porn, and we’re blaming his bipolar disorder. Where’s Sheila? She better be back or I won’t take it. She was my favorite character and no one has prepared me for this.

Gallaghers do blackouts and suicidal attempts.
There’s no room in the backyard.
There’s no trailer.
I could, well, yeah I could stay for a day or two.
I’m not a pedophile. I’m here for a handjob. From you.
As your legal guardian I have to day violence is not the answer, but those bitches deserved it.

Nashville 3.12

Yes to all the singing! And they played my number one Nashville song. And Maddie got a contract, and I couldn’t be happier.

Would you write a song with me?
This is real life, don’t let it pass you by.

8.5/10

Castle 7.15

Predictble, as we knew he was going to say he got plastic surgery and he’s not 3XK, but for some teason this may be my favorite 3XK case. And without a doubt, the creepiest episode of Castle yet. I haven’t enjoyed a Castle episode this much in a long time. And they have Kate.

I signed for an escort service. I’m off to meet a client.
Bye, Kate.
You are pretty lovable.
You can bring Castle in to work on this case.
Kate Beckett, such lovely features.
And I never forget a face. Especialy one I cut.
Oh my God look who’s driving. 3XK.
You got cosmetic sutgery to look like a serial killer?
How do you prove I’m not?
Your mother.
They’re so normal.
That’s excellent, Kate.
It’s an anagram for returned.
Beckett.

7.5/10

The Simpsons 26.12

Very relatable to anyone was was ever obese.

I never thought any of us will go anywhere.
As an aspiring musician, I’ll write the song.
That’s the best deal any song writer ever got.
Ugh. Artists.
We only had a hurricane once.
Sarah, let’s have another.
Occupied.
I’m tired of you saying planes have gotten smaller.
It’s not about health. It’s about going crazy.
Overfeeders anonymous.
I am big. I am beautiful. No one can make me feel sad. This is who I am.
Restore. Restore.
Option outdated.
I’m gonna start celebrating my size.
Walking before picture.
Two of us can make a crowd.
I’ve learnt there’s something more important than drinking, eating.
Now move along, if you can.
You’re the only gangsta I know wjth a 9 o’clock bedtime.
23!? People for God’s sake join a gym!

Switched at Birth 4.06

I understand that as a teen show they need to show how concerned everyone is, and bring justice, but this seemed a little too much. The sad truth is they would all have bad Travis’s girlfriend’s reaction. I can hear victim blaming and I can’t handle it, as we all know a girl who had it happened to her, but she swollowed it all, never told anyone and then it started coming back in pieces and at the weirdest times many years later. Kathryn was sexually assaulted and I bet even John doesn’t know, and that was real, and that’s what I wanted to see. There is no way Tank would have gotten kicked out of the school. Why didn’t he get a lawyer? We know how hard it is to have the rapist expelled or get the school to acknowledge the assault. We’ve dealt with it in numerous SVU episodes.

Can I just ask if she’s okay?
What’s happening I can’t breathe.
It wasn’t some monster rapist itwas my ex boyfriend.
I was just 17. My best friend’s brother. I woke up to dind his hands in places they should never have been.
What happened to you does matter.
Emmett, Bay was raped.
Did I deserve something dine to me when I was too drunk to give permission?
You don’t start blaming yourself. It’s not your fault.
This happens to so many girls and it makes me so angry.
I love you, same as always.

Pretty Little Liars 5.19

When I first started watching the show 5 years ago, Hanna was my favorite liar and this hasn’t changed. I’m with her on being mad at her father for paying for Kate’s school and being surprised Hanna got in at all. What a jackass. Hanna has always bad the most relevant storylines, while what others only have are relationships abd being pinned for a murder or two.

I tend to fall for women who are unavailable.
How can you love sth if you’re bad at it?
I was arrested for murder. I can’t be arrested again.
So Kate’s going to Darmouth and you’re paying and you didn’t even ask where I’m going.
I always knew that you had it in you.
One drop here and one spot there.
You’re like the queen of not helping.

Eye Candy 1.05

I will definitely stick around to see how it all resolves, and I hope it gets a second season too.

We record identity of every person that walks in.
Dare you to give away your underwear.
I smell him.
I was in love with a cop, who was killed by a flirtual killer.
Cut off a finger.
Steal their phone.
Creeply.
Do you know anything about my sister?

Scandal 4.12

Best episode in since the premiere. Huck had to kill and snapped. Queen lost it. Abby’s not a gladiator anymore. Mellie would make an excellent president.

Abby, how are you?
Shut up. Where’s Liv?
I’m sorry, do you remember me?
You’re not a gladiator anymore.
Good morning, powerful people.
Who has more monehy than United States of America?
China…
Take them out not this.
We’ll sleep better when she’s sleeping between us.
I wanna be a president of United States. I wanna rule the world.
He goes to these black places.
Who did you send me to?
Iran.
It doesn’t matter who has her. Olivia Pope is dead.

Congrats to SVU on season 17! I couldn’t be more proud. Just read Revenge is on a 6 week hiatus. Sadly we should prepare ourselves for season 4 being Revenge’s last. The ratings have been awful for the last 6 weeks. Why did Conrad leave? Conrad is gone. Victoria’s grieving. Everybody hates David. No one wants to see Emily with the cop or get to know him or the red head. Not only Bones and The Good Wife are on hiatus, but now Revenge too. Great.

Greys 11.10

How great was seeing Mer calling Maggie? And bonding with her and Amelia. Owen reminiscing could not be more relatable. Everyone had that love they ley go and couldn’t stop thinking about the good times.

Surrounded by people, but drowning in solitude. That kind of loneliness can swallow you whole.
Hey, you wanna special ringtone?
You pause.
Okay that’s gross.
So you’re legs are in the air and you?
Pause.
I want a grown up.
Christina would have scrabbed in with me.
Residents are boring. All they wanna do is learn.
Nothibg is where it’s supposed to be.
In 10 hours.et’s go to church.
You’re gorgeous. Do people just tell you this all the time?
No pressure.
Oh yeah pressure.
Whatever care.
He’s lucky I love him.
I mught be too good at being alone.
Maybe i could print a Derek. Just for sleeping.
This is where we cut.
That’s my finger.

SVU 16.13

SVU gets a 17th season and I couldn’t be more proud. No show could deserve a renewal more than SVU. Now I’m crying. Hands down, best show.
Paul Adelstein on this week’s SVU, and another incredible case ripped from the headlines. In May I’ll be calling this of the three episodes of the season.

No Amanda, I’m sorry for what you put yourself through.
Arrest him, he raped me.
Welcome back to SVU.
And he got it all over me.
I was trying to record a confession.
With her tights still on.
Even if it wasn’t him, it’s better for you if I say it did, right?
I was sitting.
Can you show us?
No, please don’t tell my mom, she’s already a mess.
My uncle raped me.
Her own uncle? No it can’t be.
Yes it can.
This is why I don’t trust dentits.
He raped his niece while his hygenist guatded the door?
The hygienist is also his wife.
We had a little quicky in the chair.
If this guy really raped his niece while his wife was in the office…
Then it isn’t his first time.
Tell them what the therapist said.
Did he tell you how ut got inside her sweater?
Something this traumatic takes time to process. Bits and pieces come back slowly.
I am not heating any of this.
Except the ones you paid off.
She looks drugged. Bet he does her high too.
Mute that witch.
So far 11 victims came forward.
Stood by you or set you up?
I refered them to him.
Stop you whining. You’re not pregnant. I had a vasectomy.
You’re hurting me, I’m a dentist. I need my hand.
It’s not a big deal. You’re not so special.

Cougar Town 6.05

Vinebulance is a fantastic idea! Especially for the cul de sac crew! I’ll miss this show so much.

Stealing work supplies. Classic move.
Now, maybe his wife.
You’re still a mayor of Gold Haven.
What do you mean former mayor?
Exactly, a step above.
His eyes are so tiny.
My chair was too comfortable.
There was a scandal over your leaked dick pic.
I always do that. It turns me on.
Welma.
You mean Daphne.
I know what I like.
Soprano in a glee club.
Nerd.
And then we bought this old van, and Trav is a genius and Scooby Doo and you’re gonna be rich.
I’ve arranged a distraction.
No but I can’t wait to hear how it ties in with children.
What, do you think law school paid itself?
Winebulance.
Everybody dance now.

8/10

Shameless 5.04

The weakest episode in Shameless’s history. Fiona’s one week after dating marriage is gonna backfire soon. How could she forget about the 3 kids she still has at home? One stupid decision after another. Frank’s story of a lost fortune was great. Favorite line was Mickey’s when he said he not gonna tip a guy for losing his baggage. Frank fighting over a leg with a girl without a leg may be one of the most shameless things they did, next to Vi telling Kev to impregnate her mom, Deb losing her v card byraping a guy and Frank screwing the life out of one chick with a heart condition, or Karen screwing Frank and recording it to piss off her dad for calling her a whore, or Kev saying Karen’s Asian baby doesn’t have a Down syndrome, we’ll just looking at it upside down. I miss Sheila and Mandy already.

121 grant!
What the hell happened on Tuesday?
Are you still waiting around for like a fucking tip or sth? Caues I’m pretty sure you guys lost my suitcase. Holy fuck.
Maybe not for the boy you raped.
Tou stole a porshe?
Might have bought one.
One leg 60 grant?
All my fucking money spent on childhood amputees.

Nashville 3.11

I’m really glad that Nashville is finally back, but when are we going to hear something new from Rayna, Juliette or Maddie and Daphne? How great was that song of Luke’s?
‘If I drink this beer, I’ll probably have two or three. If I know me, I’ll be digging up the past, like it’s money in the back yard.’

Does this mean you’re gonna marry Deacon?
Rayna! I know she’s here.
Oh my God. She called off the wedding.
My name is Jane Smith.
Miss Smith, I have just a thing for you.
But I don’t wanna write a sad song. I I don’t wanna sing a sad song. I don’t wanna be a sad song.
Because I told her I loved her.
Maybe change your clothes.
Luke throws a party to celebrate.
I should probably tell you that Deacon stepped by.
I was upset about a chair.
Show has already been cancelled.
I’ll do it. Shut up, I’ll do it.
I’m just gonna go.
I’ve loved you since the first time I saw you.
I want to be the one to take care of her.
If I drink this beer, I’ll probably have two or three. If I know me, I’ll be digging up the past, like it’s money in the backyard.

Castle 7.14

A good case, that I actually remember 5 days after it premiered. I like Castle as PI, the cases are more interesting. It’s something new the show needed.

Knock them dead, babe.
Beckett he killed her. [Out of service]
I believe he’s been right to many times not to consider it.
She wanted justice for one murder and committed two.
Yeah I’m gonna go with dead.
What’s in the bags and where are you taking them?
Guess who was suspected of killing his first wife?
Her husband.

Switched at Birth 4.05

Have you seen this week’s SVU? I really hoped this SVU episode could be SVU good, and it wasn’t. My favorite scene was when Regina told Bay she feels sorry for the girl, because she was raped. I hate that because it’s an ABC Family teen show the whole family knows about what happened to Bay a day or two after it happened. If it was any other show, the girl would have moved on, and suffer the conseqences years later. Show me a 19 year old girl that’s been date raped by a person she thought was her friend who told her entire family what happened to her a few days after the fact?

I wasn’t.
Hey, mom.
I remember up to a point and then nothing.
I’m not gonna tell anyone. What’s the big deal.
That she was raped. She didn’t give consent.
The room’s spinning.
If I fon’t remember it how can it be okay?
She’s my sister.
Something’s happened to Bay.
You have to trust yourself.

Pretty Little Liars 5.18

How bad was this week’s PLL? No one cares about Mike.

Mona liked her movies.
Thanks don’t mention it.
That’s Betthany. She’s talking about Alison right?
They have matched the blood.
If Ali really cut you off, congratulations. Yiu don’t kbow how lucky you are.
I should have said something that night.

Eye Candy 1.04

I’m liking her friend from work much better than the girl from the bar, and the show might have just saved itself.

They’re all on flirtual.
You’re fired. I’m kidding. I covered for you.
Who’s the insomniac?
I know why he’s killing them.
Julia hated her teeth.
He wants perfection.
It’s your birthday?
Yeah.
What kind of a person doesn’t know their best friend’s birthday.
You passed my test.
Perfection doesn’t exist. Everybody’s flawed. Especially me.

7.5/10

Scandal 4.11

That’s what I’m talking about. Scandal is back with a great episode. Last week was disastrous and felt forced and stuck up and this week is just fine. But Mellie sleeping with vicepresident? Come on Mellie, it might have as well been you.

It woyld be a shame if miss Pope was beheaded.
Where’s the black lady. (Good thing you’re black)
I didn’t know there’s a coalition for West Angola.
They have Olivia.
I appreciate you sharing it with me.
I’m saving Olivia Pope.
I’m wearing a ten gallon white hat.
I have Olivia Pope for you.

How to Get Away With Murder 1.11

A SVU case, that Annalise gave up. Olivia Benson would have said the woman captor is a victim too. How did they find his body?

Fled you mean.
Welcome to HTGAWM Semester 2.
I’m not a role model.
My husband’s keeping 2 girls captive in our basement.
You’ve never been raped, have you?
You kept her.
Where is she!?
She just turned 4. I saw how he started looking at her.
You, what’s going on with you?

Parenthood 6.13

Extremely exhausted from crying over that beautifully painful finale. The Bravermans will always be my family. Zeek died and Camille went to France by herself. And she probably loved it there just as much as Zeek said she would. One of my most favorite moments from the finale. I was hoping Jason would make an exception and give us a happy finale and the series would end with the wedding, but he couldn’t because this is Parenthood, a tears is the one word the show is associated with. It was a tearfully beautiful finale and it could have not been written any better. Trying to deal with the loss by writing the lyrics to Forever Young on every notebook I own. Good thing I’ve known them for six years. Goodbye, Parenthood, I love you.

Have I been a good father?
The very best.
I’ll be Adam and you’ll be Crosby.
Zeek? Zeek?
May you stay forever young.

10/10

Greys 11.09

Weakest episode of the season. We all know nothing is going to be wrong with Japril’s baby. This isn’t Amelia and her unicorn baby. I doubt it very much that Shonda is going to play it this dangerously again. Don’t ask me why the new surgeon isn’t taking the surgery she needs. And I’m not sure what’s happening with Merder, but a job offer being a burden on a marriage is one very realistic plot. What happens when you put your work over family? Does it have a chance of surving?

Maybe she needed a nanny. (My kind of humor, Mer)
Your wife was the driver.
Big deal. My husband left me and I’m here.
You’re a kid.
Before she left she said something about Derek and I and she was right.
I need a person, who’s going to be in it with me.
Did I tell you, it’s a boy?
This isn’t us. This isn’t how we end, right?
The shock response has protected us and it might have just saved us.

Revenge 4.14

Nothing better than Emily gping undercover, but other than that, possibly the weakest episode of the season. Emily and Ben, really?

Happy Birthday, baby.
I’m new here.
You’re most certainly are.
You’ve been Emily for?
11 years.
Focus on the blade.
Your husband with that pool boy.
You just failed the first test.
I guess it’s true what they say. You marry uoir husband’s friends.
Or the original my husband found.
I can’t just be Amanda Clarke.
I’m cutting you and your campaign off my money.

Cougar Town 6.04

All episodes should be this good. Jules even bumped herself with her own car.

I’m free.
Shocking.
Let me plan Stan’s birthday and you don’t have to go.
Deal.
Ble.
Before boning a dude…
He’s a doctor, it’s good to have him around, in case Grayson and I fell asleep from having such an uneventful night.
What are you doing there? Why are you inside the house?
Because it’s not not hard spitting out skank tweets to idiots.
What’s a retweet? Is that good?
A little late, dude.
I guess. I’ll just go stand in the yard.
Sup’ sad.
So I brought a translator.
How sup’s.
OMG. My brain is stuck. My brain is tots stuck.
We did it again.
You’ve gone full Daniel Day Lewis.
No I’m never doing that. You’re a horrible actor.
I’m fired, aren’t I?
Oh yeah.
You okay?
Yeah. You?

Shameless 5.03

Don’t tell me Joan Cusack and Emma Greenwell both left Shameless forever. They played my two favorite characters. They better be back in a few eps. But why don’t I remember what happened to Karen after Mandy hit her with the car? How did she leave? This has been bugging me for four days. Genius things happening this episode. Deb lost her v card by ‘date raping a guy and statutory raping herself’ while Frank pimped out his slutty daughter. Sheila left to travel the world when she couldn’t leave the house for two years and suffers from OCD. This is not relevant, but would a person with a severe OCD be dating men who don’t care about their hygiene? I think they might have gotten it wrong. And why was her sofa no longer covered in plastic when Sammy screwed a guy on two weeks ago? Also, nice sock.

It’s also good for cleaning toilets or sinks.
It looks like a hand whore fire sale out there.
What ladies?
Those lesbians
I want us to see the world.
I’ve seen it and looks like shit.
You got a fetish fpr fuck ups?
Girls with stories.
We need to run out lebians out of town.
All of them?
Just the ones in our hood.
CErEal rapist on the loose.
She’s a hood girl. She thinks she’s a piece of shit.
I don’t get it, she’s a great girl. She can get any guy she wants.
I have to stay close to my doctors.
You’re gorgeous. You’re smart, you know that, right?
She left.
I tried.
Play me something worth dying for.
Some lonesome wrist cutter.
You date raped me. You statutory raped yourself.
You did the raping right?
Debs, I think this is some seriously weird dude. A million guys would kill to be raped by you.
I had sex last night. My first time.
Frank promised you would bumb me as soon as we go to your place.
I’ve seen you put out after the first drink.
You take pleasure in shoving plastic penises up your men’s butt.
Can’t a man have a minute of peace.

Switched at Birth 4.04

How did they fit one full semester into 4 episodes, when they streched out 2 year of high school into 3 full seasons? I see Regina had good intentions, but you don’t go talking to college professors about your kid’s grades. This isn’t middle school. How can you have a successful relationship if you don’t like the same things? ‘Daphne made all of this herself.’ All what, a C? They need to send Bay to college, we haven’t seen her paint anytjing in months. I hated when Emmett said she had not much going on right now. So what if she doesn’t? Big deal, some things are more important, and sometimes creating has to wait a few years. I hate when people do this. I have too many friends who are sure they’re destined for great artistic carreers who choose to torture me about taking some time off to help my parents finanially. They don’t get it, and so does Emmett. Lots of friends tell me this but If my boyfriend did I would dump him immediately. How can you be (friends) with if they think they’re better than you? It’s okay to take some time off, It doesn’t mean you’re off the track. SVU case next week?

I am am so happy the elevator’s out.
Maybe this one won’t crap out after 1 month.
Don’t let the deafness throw you.
See there you go.
What are the odds of him having your carreer?
Until he does, Back off.
A student become C students.
We just discontinued your data plan.
If you’re turning down work, I don’t think you’re doing the best you can.
You made me look like a disabled winer.
You don’t have much going on right now.
But it’s only temporary.
This is a drop form.
If you do a good job, I will raise your D to a C.
You’re gonna hit a lot of road blocks. In the future, don’t be so quick to give up.
I’m gonna write a musical with my mom.
First things first, I have to read your book.

Pretty Little Liars 5.17

Even though I understand where Ezra is coming from, I don’t support his decision to part with Aria. So she’ll resent you, she’ll get over it. You can always pretend you’re those 8 or 9 years younger and blend in at college parties, just like you did two episodes ago. No one doubted you’re a high school student. We all new they brought the cook to be Emily’s love interest and I don’t mind it. How come Rosewood, a small city has so many lesbians, and yet we haven’t met a single gay guy? I couldn’t adore more the scene where Aria goes through her year book and sees a blank space under her name and realizes her relationship with Ezra might have stood in a way of her high school life. But she forgot one thing. What about A? It’s A who tortured her for those three years of high school, and not Ezra. For a person who was very antisocial in high shool and didn’t go to any parties and school events and who wasn’t a member of any school clubs, I could identify with this lovely scene.

Or any guys.
So your ex was a girl?
Yeah. (There is no way that tshirt she had in the last episode could belong to a guy)
People.
You mean your high school girlfriend.
You did what you had to do to get in.
I don’t think that’s an actual parking spot, Spence.
We’ll take that chance.
So you’re here to rent a storage unit?
Then you better get going.
Looks like someone’s camera shy.
Somebody knows we’re here.
We’re gonna freeze to death.
What’s that?
I’m not sure.
If we stay together you can grow to resent me.
You screwed yourself by going there and you screw over Caleb too.
I’m interested in you.
Then we’ll both be behind bars. Maybe not in the same facility.
Aria Montgomery [blank].
Hanna and Caleb need to know if Mona’s body is in there!

Nice Scrooge outfit, Burns.

You’re the guy who put wheels on baggage? Thank you!

Eye Candy 1.03

I wanted to quit the show last week, but now I’m happy I didn’t.

They belong to a woman.
Surprise.
They are all on flirtual.
You’re fired. I’m kidding. I cover for you. Working.
Who’s the insomniac?
Oh my god. I know why he’s killing.
Julia hated her teeth.
He wants perfection.
It’s your birthday?
Yeah.
What kind of person doesn’t know their best friend’s birtday?
You passed my test.
Perfection doesn’t exist. Everybody’s flawed, especially me.

Scandal 4.10

I’m sorry what was the exciting part? I hate when writers throw a storyline that’s not going to be important after two episodes. So Liv was kidnapped, big deal. Maybe if she wasn’t a brat and didn’t tell everyone she’s special, because of her name, we’d maybe feel sorry for her. I would much rather enjoy thia show if Abby or Mellie were the leading ladies. I worship Shonda, but how the hell are we supposed to identify with a person who has ‘superpowers’ and can do all the things none of us can? Still between the captors holding Liv in an opposite apartment, the obvious ‘it’s okay, Olivia, don’t worry. It’s over’ – a neighboor being shot, and the captors stone walling the window, Olivia thinking the president put a tracker in her and finally a captor turning out the guy who was in the cell with her and Liv telling him her value, I can see some potential.

How to Get Away With Murder 1.10

Weak episodes of Greys and Scandal, but can’t say the same about the third child of Shondaland. It was interesting and managed to keep me interested, and that’s what this is all about.

What you did tonight had to be done.
They’re wearing paranoia on their sleeves.
See you in court, kids.
You’re dating your client?
We have to prove my husband murdered Lila.
Sounds like you need a lawyer.
She was pregnant, idiot. She didn’t need birth conrtol.
Maybe you had fun, I was drunk and desperate.
I’ll write crime fiction, I’ll be a housewife. Ok maybe not a housewife.
That’s the address of the kappa sorority.
Rebecca did not impregnate the victim.
What’s the matter, you’re not in the mood to confess to a murder.
Let me help you, because if you do, I promise you’ll get away with this.
All tgese induviduals are responsible for disposal of the body. You have to argue they’re innocent. You have 90 minutes.

Welcome to ReviewThisFilm

This website started as weekly reviews on movies and tv episodes, and a diary of the 700 new films I watched every year. Today it’s a place for me to write a few words on films and tv shows that leave some sort of impact on me. I no longer write in depth reviews, partially thanks to bad habits gained by spending many hours a day on Letterboxd, and partially because of my demanding day job.

If you have a film you would like me to watch and review,  please leave a comment.

Enjoy!

About me

I am the dark and twisty Meredith Grey, the mad Dexter Morgan, hoping to grow up to be a little more like the wise, but fun Nora Walker. I am an aspiring filmmaker. My favorite actresses are Jodie Foster, Sally Field and Julianne Moore. Favorite genre – psychological drama. I watch anything with a sexual or mental abuse plot. I used to be a horror freak. I am obsessed with Grey’s Anatomy, SVU and many more. My other interests include making oil and pencil portraits and wildlife conservation. I cannot say no to beautiful landscapes, travel, Aussie accent, TV/film quotes and avocados. I have recently moved back from Australia to the UK. I’ve been running this blog for the last 9 years. Here I comment on films and episodes I watch. Enjoy! – Joanne

And if you don’t want out one of these days you’re going to die because of it.’  (Greys)
