Before I share my thoughts on this weeks episodes, I want to talk about some of this years shows in general and explain why i wasn’t around every week. Let me just start off by saying, I finally found a job I like, but my rota has been insane. Since March 3rd I have had 4 days off and I have 12 h shift.  I barely find time to watch anything, but my shows. I cannot use my phone at my desk, so i did not have time to update anything. Since I’m at home barely 8h a day, and in march exactly 4h a day, I stopped rewriting my notes on the shows. Why am I back now, not in a month then? Next friday we’ll know which shows get renewed and which ones we’re gonna have to say goodbye to, I wanted to write some very brief reviews a couple more times this year, in case Nashville gets cancelled. It’s a great show and I wish I started it last year, but even though we all struggled with Teddy’s storyline, It’s been 6 amazing months filled with many memorable songs. I hope it gets a third season and I am sad they cannot cut it to 13 episodes, like they did with Suburgatory, which has a million more viewers than last year and is doing so fine, by the way, but Nashville is not a 21 min comedy the network can take a risk with and put it wherever they find space. It’s a show that already struggled last year and desperately needed people to watch it this season. I really hope ABC gives the singing drama another chance and does not send so many talented people home. Fingers crossed! I also started watching Surviving Jack, but the ratings are plain low, and I no longer see a chance of NBC renewing it, which is ridiculous, as the show and Chris Meloni are funny and brilliant. This month I tried to start so many shows I have put off for years and none of them spoke to me, which means, for the first time in years I will have no shows to start in summer. I am a little disappointed,  but happy as I think of all the films I will see. And last, but the most important, I am starting to get really depressed about Sandra Oh leaving Greys, it’s all I can think about. I rewind all the twisted sisters scenes from 10 years in my head and cannot imagine my life without Cristina Yang. I grew up with these characters. It’s my show, it’s my everything. I am not ready to say goodbye. I will keep my fingers crossed for all the shows I watch to survive this terrifying week, but now, let’s move on to this week’s episodes.

Greys 10.22

All I have in my notes is ‘You’re leaving.’, which tells all about this episode. The chocolates that Cristina did remember about, the moment in which Meredith realized her best friend is leaving, will forever be stuck in my mind. I was extremely excited and emotional about Burke being back after 7 years, but I did not see him as Cristina’s biggest love. Imagine my surprise when the story went into a completely different direction. When Burke was saying that he finally understands that one person has to stay home with the kids and its okay to love someone who does not want surgical greatness, I thought of Owen and that him and Cristina could work if he stayed home and let Cristina do her thing, but then again, he dumped his girlfriend when she was saying the exact same thing, so there is no hope left for Crowen. Richard is so right to fight the foundation, but it was nice to Kepner standing up to someone for once. I do want to see Amelia in Seattle permanently, even though I want her to stay with Addie and the gang in LA and for her to be safe and sound and avoid any future disaster that Shonda’s already plotting. Which intern is getting kicked out and which one is dying in the terrorist attack? Leah’s out, Ross dies.

10/10

SVU 15.21

Oh the aftermath. It was all I thought it would be. When Liv said ‘I told him to rape me.’ to IAB and described why she chose not to resist, I felt so proud of her and couldn’t calm myself down. Despite everything that has happened to her, she found the strengthand pace to tell the truth. Captain Lewis earned more respect from fans in one episode than Cragen did in 15.5 years. Everyone making the case even worse for Olivia, even the little girl Liv saved, bug Captain Lewis.

Revenge 3.20

Another spectacular episode of this amazing show. Conrad pushed Pascall preventing Victoria’s happiness once again. Victoria all miserable calling the number finding out it was fake and probably linking it to Emily. Why the heck didn’t she change the name completely? Did she really have to use Rebecca? Victoria has her figured out now and I cannot wait for the moment she discovers the final piece of truth. Charlotte getting kidnapped? By all means take her, she is the most useless and most fake character this show had, even Ashley was more bearable.

‘Am I supposed to believe my father tripped and fell?’

10/10

Nashville 2.20

Between Juliette being the taxi service and Rayna being the only ond to calm Scarlet down, we had Deacon saying sure we do drugs and booze, it’s a real party’, 3 songs, Gunnar writing a song about Scarlet, miss Claybourne dropping out of Rayna’s label, because she hated the pressure of being famous, and many more, and I’m asking how come more people don’t watch yhis amazing show? Also, no Teddy in this episode, but unfortunately, no Stella sisters either.

10/10

Bates Motel 2.09

The show is not doing as good as the first season as I bet no one cares about the drugs trade and Norma trying to fight the road, and Norman drinking with some skanky friend. But what this episode had was Norman remembering killing the teacher and most importantly hearing his mother telling him to. Norma fully trusting the cop, that she’s eventually gonna end up with, amazing, but can we just get rid of the whiny Emma and everyone drug trade related but Dylan.

10/10

Surviving Jack 1.06

It’s a fun show and this was another fabulous episode. Rachel answering to Jack’s question about making herself more attractive to college admissions  ‘Good, I lost 3 pounds and got highlights’ and signing up for wrestling and Joanne calling varsity guys ‘stupid weiners’ hilarious.

‘It was pretty damn funny.’

10/10

Castle 6.21

It was mainly good because Esposito and Ryan were trying to get chosen as Castle’s first man, but he chose Alexis over them. Other than that I do vaguely remember the strip poker and Kate beating Castle in scrabble. Other than that? Another case I don’t remember the moment I turn the episode off. Ryan and Esposito earned 6 out of the 9 points I gave this episode.

9/10

Suburgatory 3.11

Tessa talking about her extra curricular activities that would not really count in any college admissions office and saving herself, mostly and Dalia talking about her various hobbies that have nothing to do with school, hilarious. Great episode,  like I said the show is doing so well, if only George and Dallas got back together already.

Greys 10.13

I am so happy my favorite show is finally back from hiatus and in such a big greys style. The way Meredith hugged Alex saying ‘Alex, please, please’, best scene of the season. No relationships with coworkers? Shonda you’re ten years late with this rule. Warren filled the ibtern spot for Heather, I am so happy for him, I don’t know why I haven’t thought of it. When it comes to me, they could get ridbof all the interns, maybe not Jo, but it’s not just Leah thats annoying and whiny, they all are. April chose Jackson, and that last scene, that’s all, thank you.

10/10

SVU 15.15

Every episode of SVU feels so fresh lately. Another excellent case. Laura Slade Wiggins played the victim. I miss Karen Jackson.

10/10

Shameless 4.06

One of the best episodes of the show.

10/10

Shameless 4.07

Wow, no government job? Fiona you are screwed. I am so happy Lip is still doing his studies and that he wants to finish college. Mandy in that squirrel hat. Ian sleeping for money and Deb cutting herself and going all ‘fuck’, because a guy 7 years her prior wouldn’t sleep with her. Frank getting again kickedboutbof the house, amazing episode.

10/10

Castle 6.15

It’s real life Carrie! Castle and Kate dancing to In My Veins.

10/10

Castle 6.16

Alexis finally realizing she was stupid and finally acting responsibly. Even though her situation is the exact opposite of mine, and I could relate to her moving out at the age of 19, I love that she moved back in, this gives me hope. Weird case which was simply better when I didn’t know how it turned out, it was so fun when they all confessed to murder and Castle was all ‘this case is fantastic and not so boring after all’.

10/10

Suburgatory 3.06

Tessa joins a cult, whatever. Tanning senior class? So Chatswin and so amazing, was waiting for it since the trailer for season 3 was realised. I just hope it’s just not a one time thing. Dallas and George have to get back together. And Noah being all anger free and bursting at the end, hilarious.

7.5/10

Nashville 2.16

What a fabulous episode. I just love when everyone is singing and an episode has at least three songs. I cried when Glenn was quitting, oh this scene was so painful. Rayna losing it at the end.

10/10

Cougar Town 5.06

This may be Cougar Town’s best season.

10/10

Cougar Town 5.07

Another fantastic episode.

10/10

Scandal 3.11

Paul Adelstein is doing so good, I couldn’t be more proud. Everytime I want to quit this show, it gets good.

10/10

Switched at Birth 3.05

8.5/10

Switched at Birth 3.06

Chicago PD 1.06

I will not watch it, even though Voight has such an amazing tone of voice I couldn’t focus on anything else. The SVU crossover good, but nothing special.

9/10

Pretty Little Liars 4.20

Probably the best episode.

10/10

Pretty Little Liars 4.21

Teen show currently at its best.

This is exactly the amount of episodes that should premiere each week. Imagine what would happen if Greys and Scandal premiered too and if I haven’t seen Shameless last week already. There were so many episodes I could not catch up with them during the week with my 10 h shift, which meant 4 shows on Saturday, now, that’s a perfect day. I only managed to watch Revenge, Suburgatory, Nashville, Switched at Birth and Pretty Little Liars the morning after they premiered. On Friday I watched Cougar Town, rewatched Suburgatory. On Saturday I dug into The Carrie Diaries, Bones, Castle, SVU. Dropped exhausted and watched American Horror Story and Ravenswood on Sunday. Then I rewatched Revenge and Nashville. Then I turned into SAGA and CCA. Best weekend in a long long time.

Revenge 3.12

You really want people to think you are a gold digger?

10/10

SVU 15.11

The only thing wrong with this episode is that it did not have an SVU case.

10/10

Bones 9.13

The last two episodes, this is why Bones is so excellent. I was getting really annoyed with all the bad episodes.

8.5/10

Castle 6.12

This show needs better cases.

10/10

Nashville 2.11

Happy Peggy died, she was drugging the shown down.

9/10

Suburgatory 3.01

Happy to see it on my TV! Thank goodness it stayed on air.

8.5/10

Switched at Birth 3.01

So happy SAB is back!

7/10

Cougar Town 5.02

Grayson, Monica.

10/10

American Horror Story 3.11

Feels like a teen series.

7/10

The Carrie Diaries 2.11

This show is doing so fine this season, sad it’s only 13 episodes.

8/10

Pretty Little Liars 4.15

Seriously? Hanna and Aria’s brother? Running out of ideas there? The writers do anything to prolong the series as much as possible. So many useless plots and this one is the stupidest of all.

2/10

Ravenswood 1.07

When will I stop torturing myself with this show?

3/10

The Simpsons

That was the worst episode I’ve seen in years, probably the worst Simpsons episode of all.

0.5/10

Suburgatory Season 2

Season two was not as good as season one, or should I say It sucked through most of it. Although the last six episodes were pretty descent. My grade of season one was: 6/10, let’s see how this one went.

This is how I graded season 2.

  1. 3.5
  2. 1
  3. 2
  4. 1.5
  5. 3
  6. 8
  7. 4
  8. 4
  9. 4
  10. 2
  11. 2
  12. 1
  13. 5
  14. 5
  15. 3.5
  16. 3.5
  17. 7
  18. 7
  19. 10
  20. 10
  21. 7
  22. 8

My grade is 4.6/10

I was not surprised when we found out the show was moved to the midseason, I was actually waiting for it to get cancelled, but it barely survived. At first I thought It was bad when they announced we’re getting rid off George’s best friend, but when I think about season two and all the Carmen and Otis stuff, I am satisfied with letting him go, what is even better is we will not see any more cheesy gay jokes concerning Chef Allan and the counsellor. I wish they picked up Dalia’s obsession with Daddy Altman. I will not be watching any Suburgatory till midseason, but despite everything, I am looking forward to season three.

Back from hiatus

It’s been a while since I’ve posted something film or tv related and worth reading at the same time. My uni semester ended and I finally can afford quick Internet, which means I can go back to watching all the films and tv that I want. I have missed it badly. Seeing only 30 films in 6 months is humiliating at least. I was thinking of starting a new show and the ones that interested me are: The Following, Hannibal, House of Cards and Switched at Birth. I am also checking out The Bridge, but it is too soon to tell at this moment. This week I will update whatever I remember seeing these past five months and will try to rewatch all the episodes of the last season that I didn’t have the time to grade. I have decided I am not going to grade Private Practice, The Big C, Dexter, out of respect and because they are all a 10, but also Pretty Little Liars, because the show sucks so badly I just watch it to kill time, and most of the time it does not even make a 2 in my opinion, The Carrie Diaries, for the same reason, but it did meet like 3 or sometimes even a 4, but I watch it, again, just to kill time, and because I loved Sex and The City when growing up; American Horror Story, because it was not as good as season one, and probably is just a one time watch; Go On, because I do not really have an opinion on it ending, have not decided if I am disappointed or not; most likely Bones and Castle, which are the two shows I was really bored with this season, and possibly Shameless, since March was a long time ago and I do not feel like it. First up is Suburgatory.

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 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.’

‘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)

‘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)

‘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.’

only fancy women?’ (Disobedience)

‘So then ask her.’
‘Olive, will you forgive me?’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)
