Jurassic World - Fond Memories Made New

First of all, I must put this out there: I’m probably not that impartial towards this movie. Second: I loved it. It’s not perfect, but I do kind of love it regardless.

Childhood Memories

I remember Jurassic Park, I watched it when I was a kid, my first time in a movie theater with my cousins on what was a really nice day, one that stuck with some of my fondest memories. That’s maybe one of the reasons I like it so much…

Watching this one, now as an adult, with my husband, was a strange way to recall that day, and it was pretty good.

Not Perfect, Still Amazing

With Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard (Rocketman) as protagonists, this movie will make you laugh, jump, and roll your eyes at different points.

It’s not exactly mysterious, you know from the very beginning that, eventually, all hell will break loose, and at some points, you can even imagine how or why. But surprisingly, this didn’t seem to take the interest out of the story.

What if...?

These movies, with so much need for CGI, and such impossibilities, can always leave you thinking “would this somehow be possible?”, yet, in this case, I doubt you’d be bored by it.

You’ll feel a bit of adrenaline running through your body and be totally focused on the beautiful and action-packed imagery on the screen.

Funny fact: by the end of the movie, the only thing I kept thinking was how flabbergasted I was, asking myself, “How the hell can she run the whole movie in those shoes?!”

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story - review

While I found the pacing of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story slow and, at times, even boring, the show shines in one particular area: its psychological depth. What kept me engaged wasn’t the storytelling rhythm, but the way it explored two very distinct and haunting personalities under the same roof. Two Sides of the Same Violence The series captures the sharp contrast between Lyle and Erik brilliantly. On one side, we see the volatile, angry, and violent brother—unpredictable but outwardly dominant, always ready to explode. On the other side, there is the insecure, fragile “mouse” of the family—timid, hesitant, almost paralyzed by fear. Yet, what makes Erik compelling is that under the right conditions, even he can lash out violently, especially when pulled into the orbit of his more aggressive brother. The dynamic between them feels like a nightmare recipe: one commanding, the other submissive, but both carrying destructive potential. The Many Shape...
