Beaver Falls


Beaver Falls is a drama/ comedy type series that is centered on three british young adults that decide to spend their summer vacation in America, working in a summer camp. There the story unravels.

This show is the typical 'summer vacation' kind of media. A lot of relationships developed, a lot of problems solved, and, of course, a lot of attractive people.

The only really bad thing that I have to say about this is that the plot is full of clichés to the point where you can guess 75% of it, and that is a deal breaker.

However, I like to think of this as the white version of Misfists (don't ask me why, I haven't figured it out either), and as a Misfits fan , I do kind of like it. Even though, the plot is extremely predictable, you do still enjoy the show, especially because you bond with certain characters (*cough* Barry *cough*).
That being said I am going to miss the show, but I couldn't really see how they could carry it on onto the 3rd series.

Typically, I like to make a top three episodes, so you can judge the series for yourself. However, I don't have one for this show, because none of them scream 'special' to me. They're all sort of the same and that's a bummer.

So, you should get Beaver Falls on :

Thelma and Louise (1991)


First of all, this movie is now one of my favourites.
Thelma and Louise is a movie by Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Robin Hood, Prometheus) in which the two main characters are women (HURRAY!). 
Thelma (married to a douche bag of a husband, let's get real) and Louise take off to a two-day vacation in the mountains. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Horror movie...". Nops, it's not.
They decide to stop in a bar, get some drinks, have a little fun, and some girl time and then continue their journey, and that's when they meet Harlan Puckett. Harlan and Thelma hit it off and spend the night dancing and drinking. Later on, Thelma and Harlan leave to get some fresh air and he tries to rape her. And that's when Louise appears, threatens him with a gun and shoots him dead.
I know, I'm spoiling you, but it's a necessary spoiler, okay? Bear with me for a while.
Louise decides they should both flee the scene and not go to the police (they never do) because she knows they'll never believe it was self-defence, everyone saw Thelma and him dancind all night. 
The movie is about them trying to get to Mexico and run from the police and unleashing their badass-side during the run. You see arm robberies, sex-scenes with Brad Pitt (oh, yeah), explosions, car-chasing scenes...They now live outside the law, defying cops and still having fun.


The movie just gets better and better by the minute. The reason why I loved it so much is because of the moral implications. Twenty years ago, these two girls knew the police wouldn't help, no one would believe that man had tried to rape her, and now, 2012, it's still happening. So they decide to make their own laws, run, have fun, but they still know they did the right thing when they shot him. It's a film about friendship, about doing what's right, about freedom, most of all, because they'll refuse getting caught once they know they'll either go to jail or be sentenced to death for trying to save their own lives. So they just run, they start living,  really, they become these badass chicks who learn how to defende themselves, how to outsmart the cops and have fun. 
I won't tell you how it ends, obviously, just know that it's a great movie, you'll have the greatest time, and it's gonna make you think about women's rights and how women are perceived in today's society.

As for me, I'll really try to buy it on DVD.


It's a do watch, y'all.

Doctor Who Prequel: Pond Life part 5

Okay, here is the 5th and final part of Pond Life, the mini-episodes of Doctor Who, building up to the first episode of season seven, airing tomorrow.


Now we can see where it's headed. Beware because it is the most dramatic episode. It's amazing how much damage one mini, mini-episode can do to a Whovian. Well, thanks for that, Moffat.

Justice League Unlimited



I promised myself I would get this review up by today, so here it is.

Justice League Unlimited is an anime type series based (as you could probably tell) on the Justice League. If you do watch this show, you were probably confused as to why they're called "Justice League" and "Justice League Unlimited". The latter is a direct sequel to Justice League, in fact many people consider it to be the same show. So here you go, no more confusion.

Justice League Unlimited is a great show if you aren't really in the mood to watch anything without an intense plot or that you just don't feel like trying to understand every little relationship that goes on. You can probably catch an episode on TV and be as involved and aware of the series as your friend who has watched the entire show. Apart from that, the only flaw this show presents is that it uses the same supervillains over and over again. There are a billion other great supervillains in the DC world, but they managed to incorporate the majority of Superman's villains, leaving the audience with a feeling that the other superheroes just live a grand life.

That being said, this show has great amount of badassery. If you can think of any DC superhero, I can almost guarantee you it is in this show. Seriously, the amount of superheros is ridiculous (not that that is a bad thing, in fact it just adds to the awesome factor). You can  always count on some fight scenes between a group of superheroes against some pretty badass villains to happen in any episode and those are always pleasing to the eye, and given the fact that this is an animated show, you can't get  distracted by the bad CGI.

So, I majorly recommend this show to DC fanboys/girls or just 'anything superhero related suckers'. If you're not that into superheroes, then don't watch this. Although, I have a top three episodes you should probably watch, because they are AMAZING.

Top 3:


  • End of series 2 (Starcrossed (1,2,3)). The whole story of the show changes dramatically from here on out.
  • End of series 4 (Panic In The Sky, Divided We Fall). Just awesome. WATCH IT.
  • Episode 13 of series 4 (Epilogue): This a super must watch for Batman fans. 

I would probably include the season 5 finale in there, because it was AMAZING watching superheroes and supervillians fighting together.

As for rating, (this is my system, which basically tells you how much money you should spend on something), you should probably get Justice League Unlimited on

Avengers Spin-off TV Show "S.H.I.E.L.D."

As you may know, Joss Whedon (hail!) has accepted to write and direct Avengers 2, so you can all sit back and relax because you're in for a great movie...again.
Yesterday we got the news that he also accepted to be part of the new TV Show based on the Avengers. Until now we're only sure that Joss is going to direct the pilot, as for the rest of the series, the director has yet to be announced.
Fans are hoping that both Samuel L. Jackson and Cobie Smulders (Nick Fury and Maria Hill) will be on the show, just like Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) and Scarlett Johanson (Black Widow), but the cast hasn't been confirmed, yet. As for Chris Evans (Captain Ameerica), Mark Rufallo (The Hulk), Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man) and Chris Hemsworth (Thor), they're romoured to make cameos.

The show has been treated as a " “high-concept cop show”, but being super-hero themed, and with Whedon directing the pilot, there's no doubt it will be good.

Doctor Who 7x01 - Asylum of the Daleks New Images

Asylum of the Daleks

Asylum of the Daleks

“Kidnapped by his oldest foe, the Doctor is forced on an impossible mission – to a place even the Daleks are too terrified to enter…. the Asylum. A planetary prison confining the most terrifying and insane of their kind, the Doctor and the Ponds must find an escape route. But with Amy and Rory’s relationship in meltdown, and an army of mad Daleks closing in, it is up to the Doctor to save their lives, as well as the Pond’s marriage.”

Pond Life - Doctor Who

As you may know (if you don't, you should), the seventh season of Doctor Who premieres on the September 1st, in the UK. 
Pond Life is a series of 5 mini-episodes (really, mini-episodes) that follows Amy Pond and Rory Williams after the seaosn 6 finale (you haven't watched it? Shame on you, really!).
These five mini-episodes are being released everyday, from Agust 27 to August 31, and is a way to lead us into the Asylum of the Daleks - this being the first episode of the season 7.
So far there has been 2 mini-episodes which can be seen down below.


Part 1

Part 2


Season 7 is going to a blast of emotions to all Whovians around the world. For two years, we've been following Amy and Rory going around, through Time and Space, with the Doctor, but everything must come to an end. Steven Moffat (the writer that breaks fan's hearts all over the world - also credited for writing Doctor Who, Sherlock and The Adventures of Tintin) has anounced, a few months back, that the Pond family is going to leave Doctor Who halfway through season 7. Mr. Moffat has a way of making us all feel numb and a tiny bit slow, throughout every episode, and I'm not even kidding. If you ever watched any episode of Doctor Who written by him, or Sherlock, for that matter, you'll understand what I mean; it's not that he just writes the craziest, most unpredictable plots, it's that he breaks our fangirl/boy's hearts while doing so. 
So when he said that Amy and Rory are leaving and that someone dies, you know you're for a lot of pain.

They have already satarted shooting with the new companion, Jenna-Louise Coleman. Coleman's character is called Clara Oswin and she's schedule to appear in the Christmas episode of Doctor Who. Not much is known about her but the fact that she can talk faster that Matt Smith and that she is a computer genius.

As much as I love Amy and Rory, and as much as it's going to pain me watching them leave, I have a feeling I'm going to like Clara.

A nice trip, may you have...


My love for television started when I was about 12 years old. Just a couple of episodes a week, something I could enjoy and just have fun with. I never thought that watching those couple of episodes a week would make me into this crazy, obssessed TV addict that I am, now (did that make any sense?).
You start with one show (for me it was Supernatural) and you think "Well, this is kinda nice!", (being a...well, supernatural show, by "kinda nice" I mean the two hot-looking guys that kick-ass in every episode), "Better keep watching since there's nothing else better on TV". Six year ago I didn't have my laptop, I dind't have internet at home. So, yes, I blame the Internet for everything that has happened to me.
I watched probably three, four shows a weeks, on TV, the actual magic box. All that waiting killed me because I knew the season was already online but I had no other way of watching it so I'd sit in front of the TV, every other day and watch my shows.

But then came the Internet.

Then came the blog fever, the Tumblr fever, the fandom fever and everything went down-hill from that moment on.

The thing is, I have too many thoughts in my head, sometimes I think I might explode and, even though I write down everything I feel it's worth, I just think it's not enough, I don't have anyone to share it with. Let's face it,   it's not fun for my mum to put up with me talking about actores that were in that movie that I know from that one TV Show I love. It's hard for her, it's hard for my sister. So I end up talking to the walls.

Wanna talk about being a Movie Buff and a TV Addict? You're in the right place!

Me and my lovely, lovely cousin decided to embark on this journey together, bringing you new shows, new movies, more fun and probably madness, too.

Expect full reviews on Shows, movies and anything TV and movies related, really. Expect long posts of me rambling about an actor, rambling about an episode, rambling about my deep feelings for that writer or director.

Expect me.

(That sort of sounded like Anonymous, didn't it? Expect me. Oh, well...)
