As I just added Fuller House and The Family to my list I have realized there were a few shows missing, as the last list was made in July 2015. Here’s the complete list as of today. I will add some other shows that will arrive in March later. I’m also thinking of catching up on Ray Donovan and then adding it too. I have also realized the order has changed, as I’m no longer following some of the shows, like AHS, and some have been gone for a while, and didn’t feel that necessary anymore. These titles got pushed further down the list. This list is based on how much I care about the characters. The list has 74 titles as of March 2016.

I kinda like being in the middle of everyone’s shit.

how to get away with murder, svu, tv show reviews, tv shows reviews

Fuller House has been renewed for season 2! After just 5 days! Are you guys just loving it?

Since I’m going on a holiday this Saturday, here’s part 1 of the remaining reviews.

Greys 17.11

The little Kepner wanting to have 3 children was adorable. Why on Earth didn’t she say she was pregnant? I honestly never could stand Avery, now it’s pure hate.

3/10

SVU 17.10

A case about a tacher sleeping with her students, meanwhile a wrestling coach sexualy assaults boys.

Danger of getting laid.
There are two predators in the same school.
Predators know who to pick on.
I woke up, because his mouth was on me.
It wasn’t your fault. It was nothing. It didn’t mean anything. You were drugged and your body reacted.
Whatever he may have made you do.
He’s the kid who got it from the wrestling coach.

9/10

SVU 17.11

One of the best episodes this season where Olivia goes to the house of a family her babysitter works for, and ends up being one of the hostages. The 16 year old daughter is raped, and Olivia once again cannot stop the rapist. The mother then calls and asks how are their kids and they answer they#’re okay but no one tells her her daughter has been raped. The girl’s brother was screaming Somebody help her, Make him stop’ which made it excrutiantly painful.

I just yelled ‘Stop police!’, but I’m not police.
All you have to do this go in there.

10/10

SVU 17.16

Liv and Tucker, seriously? Remember when he was always on hers and Elliot’s asses and basically hated them both? A vlogger gets raped and Rollins does something very stupid. Why would she risk being raped for one victim? They should have had one of her followers attack her, not some random pseudo celebrity. We all knew the new sergeant would run the place, just because of his daddy, and Liv would be left behind.

I’m a vlogger. My followers want to know anything that happens to me.
You didn’t deserve what happened to you.
Her exact words?
I don’t know her head was in my lap.
You used yourself as bait?
They tried to rape me.
Rollins in my office, please.
She lied to me. She said she didn’t post it.

5/10

Castle 8.10

A good Castle episode, that’s a shocker. I know I should contemplate every week, but there’s nothing to contemplate. But then Castle wanted to get thrown in jail and we remembered why we love it so much.

I went to high school with Nina. What high school?
I’m gonna get thrown in jail.
Joanna, how would you like to have a character in my next novel named after you?
How about a villain?

6/10

The Middle 7.15

What is going on with The Middle? This is definitely the weakest season.

Who’s that?
None of your business.
You would recognise it cause you never talk.

1.5/10

The Middle 7.16

Weakest episode of the season.

Free Wifi and a nice view.
Let me just stick my head out so I know what’s our new address.

3.5/10

Younger 2.8

I just love this show.

Millennial Print, you really are shameless.
#goodluck
What do creative directors do exactly?
Someone else’s coke mostly.
That girl is something special.
Assistants don’t have a lunch.
I’m not 26, I’m 40.
Now I’m interested.
Now I got another shot at my 20s.
According to New York Times you don’t exist.
Liza, are you crying?
I’m just so happy for you.

7/10

Scandal 5.11

I am loving this Liv/Mellie friendship. Carlos Solis joins the cast.

Because that Muppet is in love with you.
I left for the same reasons you stayed.
That’s what you write.You write that you were scared. That you couldn’t stand up to him. You didn’t need Fitz to give you the power. You had that power all along. It just took you a little longer to realize.
Get out your laptop, start typing.

7.5/10

Scandal 5.12

I loved how Cyrus staged for Carlos from Desperate Housewives to get shot, just so he can be the hero.

It’s easy , you just need to be in touch with your inner child.
Since you’re my only friend now, you can call me Fitz.

4.5/10

How to get Away with Murder 2.11

Ask miss Winterbottom. Clearly she’s the only one listening.
Don’t feel bad when i’m gonna end up shooting myself.
Wes went to the health centre to get some sleeping pills and they checked him into the psych ward.
You’re fired. My old Bonnie is back.
First year’s the hardest and I’m so behind.She needs therapy.
We all need therapy.
I killed Lila.

5/10

How to get Away with Murder 2.12

Oh, I hope Wes killed his mom.

Let mommy take care of it the way she always does.
Now what, mommy?
Now I have five of them and it’s the worst experience of my life.
When he applies to law school she helps him get in.
That one of you will be Wes Gibbins.
Is it true? Did Wes kill his mother?

7/10

Grandfathered 1.17

So do I just pay him in cash when he gets here?
This is Juliet.
Where’s Romeo?

7/10

Grandfathered 1.18

Is this really how they want to finish this and possibly the show’s only season? With them dating other people? It was the show’s worst episode. Also, too sex crazed, and not enough Granfdfather-ing.

With this Sarah this happened?

0.5/10

Pretty Little Liars 6.17

Now the new A has Emily’s fingerprints on the murder weapon.

That person may be storing my future offspring.
I’ll sleep when I’m unemployed.You get a chance to make people better than yourself.
You are the writer in the family.
We’re all different people now.
At least one of us will have a degree that matters.
You need to start talking before our baby does.
The protagonist is not Aria. We never meade it past Philly.
I think it’s fate. People who were meant to be together take a break and find a way back to their first love.
We graduated and we grew up.

6/10

The Simpsons 27.14

Awful.

0.5/10

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

favourite film and tv quotes

‘When I lived in Porpoise Spit, I used to sit in my room for hours and listen to ABBA songs. But since I’ve met you and moved to Sydney, I haven’t listened to one Abba song. That’s because my life is as good as an Abba song. It’s as good as Dancing Queen.’ (Muriel’s Wedding)

‘I used to think about
your life in New York. I tried to imagine your room. I kept track of the time difference, so I  knew when you were awake and when you were asleep.’ (Disobedience)

‘Nothing’s clean, Howard. But we do our best, right?’ (The Aviator)

‘No, I’m not quitting. I don’t quit things.’
‘No, actually you do. Your mother quit your father. Your father quit you. You quit your boyfriend and if I read your hospital chart correctly you quit your life momentarily on a couple of occasions. You quit. It’s what you know how to do.’ (Greys)

‘Where the hell was I that year?’
‘Your were watching television’. (Everybody Loves Raymond)

‘It’s impossible to worry about anything else when there’s blood coming out of you.’
(Short Term 12)

‘I wanted it to happen. And when we were girls… Even then, it was the same. It’s always been this way! I have always wanted it.’ (Disobedience)

‘Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes you play games in your head. You make up someone, someone good.’ (Greys)

‘There comes a moment when our lives change forever. The moment we admit our weaknesses, the moment we rise to a challenge, the moment we accept a sacrifice, or let a loved one go. And sometimes the change in our lives is an answer to our prayers.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Yesterday I went to the movies all day by myself. One after the other. I’ve never done that before. I had a really happy day.’ (Doing Time for Patsy Cline)

‘I just need something to happen. I need a sign that things are going to change. I need a reason to go on. I need some hope. And in the absence of hope, I need to stay in bed a feel like I might die today.’ (Greys)

‘She saved me my whole life. Without her, I’m nothing.’ (The Favourite)

‘Don’t wonder why people go crazy. Wonder why they don’t. In face of what we can lose in a day, in an instant, wonder what the hell it is that make us hold it together.’  (Greys)

‘Bree sobbed quietly in the restroom for five miutes, but her husband never knew, because when Bree finally emerged, she was perfect.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘I am not food, you cannot just eat and eat.’ (The Favourite)

‘I don’t love him.’
‘Of course you do.’
‘No!’
‘Don’t take me for a fool Olive,  I’m many things but I’m not a fool.’
‘I know that, you’re brilliant.’
‘Don’t you see, it’s over. Whatever this is, was, it’s over.’
‘I love You.’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)

‘At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing, is reason enough to celebrate.’ (Greys)

‘Many years ago, a neighbour and a good friend of ours took her life, and that left us all heartbroken and perplexed. But somehow, when I was alone in that hotel room, I forget about all the pain that she caused. In those awful moments, I thought maybe she had the answer.‘ (Desperate Housewives)

‘What happened last year when you fell in the water?’
‘I almost drowned. Do you think I did that for kicks?’
‘You put your hand in a body cavity that contained unexploded ammunition.’
‘I was trying to save a patient!’
‘Why is it that every other person in that room had the sense to hit the deck? You know people run away from this line between life and death. You seem to stand on it and wait for a strong wind to sway you one way or the other. You’re careless with your life. You’re not slitting your wrists but you’re careless. Probably because your mother told you you were a waste of space on this planet. The problem is you believed her. And if you don’t want out one of these days you’re going to die because of it.’  (Greys)

‘This is the street where I used to live and these were the people with whom I shared my life. I met them the day they moved in. And I saw what they brought with them. Beautiful dreams for the future. And quiet hopes for a better life. Not just for themselves, but for their children, too. If I could, would I tell them what lies ahead? Would I warn them of the sorrow and betrayal that lie in store? No. From where I stand now, I see enough of the road to understand how it must be traveled. The trick is to keep moving forward, to let go of the fear and the regret that slow us down and keep us from enjoying a journey that will be over too soon. Yes, there will be unexpected bends in the road, shocking surprises we didn’t see coming, but that’s really the point. Don’t you think?’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Was your life not working when you let that slip out from under you?’
‘When are you going to stop suggesting that I’m suicidal?’
‘When you start acting like someone that wants to be alive.’
‘Give me my chart.’
‘Why?’
‘Because I’m not suicidal, and if it says that I am, then it’s wrong.’ (Greys)

‘There is nothing wrong with me.’
‘Then show me your arm.’ (Degrassi)

‘Look, my whole life, I have been the freak. The girl who nobody picked for dodgeball. The girl who didn’t have a mom. The girl who dressed funny because it was her dad buying her clothes. And then, tonight I looked at these people, and I thought maybe there’s a future where I don’t have to be a freak. Maybe I can be who I am and that’s okay.’ (Everything Sucks)

‘Dr, I have been this way since…since I can remember. There is no cure.’ (American Horror Story)

‘He was so crazy about me, I couldn’t breathe. So we tried drinking our way back into love, but it never made sense in the morning. So I ran. And every time I came back, he was here. And he was still crazy about me.’ (My Blueberry Nights)

‘Bree van de Kamp had always wanted to live her life with elegance and grace. That is also how she wanted to die. Her plan was to pour herself a glass of her favorite chardonnay, put on her most stylish nightgown and leave behind a note on embossed stationery.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘All we have is this moment. The future is just a fucking concept that we use to avoid being alive today. So be… here…. now.’ (Six Feet Under)

‘On the train coming here, we were in the same cart, I saw you, you were reading and you feel asleep. I didn’t dare to look at you, you were so beautiful, it was scary. Afterwards,  I couldn’t stop thinking about you. It made me smile. Then I thought of all the men who would get to hold you, who’d make you laugh. How lucky they were.’ (Enemy at the Gates)

‘It was a good day. Maybe even a great day. Even when it was hard, I was the me in my head. There was a moment when I thought I cant do this, I cant do this alone. I close my eyes and imagine myself doing it, and I did, I blocked out the fear, and I did it.’ (Greys)

‘There comes a time when we must expose our weaknesses. When our secrets can no longer remain private, when our solitude can no longer be denied, when our pain can no longer be ignored, but sometimes we feel so alone that a weakness we thought we’d overcome suddenly becomes too strong to fight.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Why did you get married, Esti? Why didn’t you just leave? So everything was all right when I left?’
‘No. I was ill.’
‘What sort of ill?’
‘In my head.’
‘If I had to sleep with a man, why not with our best friend?’
‘Oh, Esti…’
‘It hasn’t been a complete disaster.’
‘And that’s enough?! Do you have to have sex every Friday?’
‘It’s expected.’
‘It’s medieval. What happened to you?’
‘Nothing. You happened to me. And then I started teaching and that became important. I give them ambition.’
‘To do what? Push out seven babies and be a good wife?’
‘Don’t. Don’t. I help them to value themselves.’
‘Okay, but what about you?’
‘That is me. And you? Are you happy?’
‘Yes, I am.’
‘Have you been with other women?’
‘No. Not really. And you?’
‘No.’
‘But, Esti… Do you still
only fancy women?’ (Disobedience)

‘OK, then, listen. Let’s not get caught.’
‘What are you talkin’ about?’
‘Let’s keep goin’!’
‘What d’you mean?’
‘Go.’
‘You sure?’
‘Yeah. Yeah.’ (Thelma & Louise)

‘She let me live at Nora’s house. She let me believe that I was a part of their family. I fell in love with that family. What am I supposed to do, just sit there, pretend I’m related to them? I was happy. For the first time in my life I was happy.’ (Brothers and Sisters)

‘You will be left all alone with your bitterness and your rage and your knowledge that you loved her and she loved you and you threw it away for them.’
‘Do you love her?’
‘Yes.’
‘And Have you always?’
‘Yes.’
‘So then ask her.’
‘Olive, will you forgive me?’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)

‘No razors, no scissors, no fucking freedom.’
(Short Term 12)
