Toy Story of Terror (2013) Rated TV-G

Posted on September 3, 2026 by laurarachel4

Woody and the gang are staying at a roadside motel when members of the group start to disappear. Starring Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and Joan Cusack.

This is about as frightening as the Toy Story franchise gets. When a villain steals the toys, Jessie sets out to rescue them and must confront her claustrophobia. She takes the lead in this story, and although she can be irritating, her prominence offers a refreshing change from the franchise’s usual male focus. The film is less humorous than its predecessors, leaning instead into a kid-friendly horror tone. While the premise is not especially original, the story is well written and makes an enjoyable Halloween watch for children. It’s worth a watch.

Never Let Go (2024) Rated R

Posted on September 2, 2026 by laurarachel4

A family has been haunted by an evil spirit for years. When one of the children questions if the evil is real, their safety becomes questionable. Starring Halle Berry, Percy Daggs IV, and Anthony B. Jenkins.

It’s quite obvious from the beginning that this mother has some kind of mental illness and that it was passed down through generations. The stakes get high when one of the boys starts to question whether the evil is real or not. This is not your typical thriller. It tries to be psychological in a thriller sense, but there wasn’t much suspense. The film wanted to blur the lines between reality and fiction but had a hard time conveying this. Thus, the film is not worth the watch.

Snoop Dogg Presents: The Joker’s Wild (TBS) Rated TV-14

Posted on September 1, 2026 by laurarachel4

Snoop Dogg, hosts TBS’ new version of The Joker’s Wild, set in his very own casino that includes a gigantic slot machine and giant dice and playing cards. Starring Snoop Dogg, Dave Burchell, and Jeannie Mai.

This game show is all about the host, Snoop Dogg. It’s not about the game or the knowledge. In fact, most of the contestants are not very smart, which doesn’t entertain like the creators hoped for. The game show also brings Snoop’s persona of a street-wise, drug-happy character. That is also not very entertaining. I think if they left the game as it was and just added Snoop’s persona, it might not have been so bad. Ultimately, this show is not worth the watch.

Old Home Revival (HGTV) Rated TV-G

Posted on August 30, 2026 by laurarachel4

Gregory Storm flips houses, restoring neglected properties. He brings in buyers during renovation and customizes his innovative designs to create their perfect home. Starring Gregory Storm.

As renovation shows overrun the networks, you have to be different to gain a following. Gregory Storm is that different. He renovates old homes, making them modern while still holding true to their integrity. The other difference the show has is Storm brings in buyers in the middle of the renovation and gives them the opportunity to create the house they would like. I’m not 100% behind the idea of bringing buyers in as they may make a change that does not honor the house’s history. Although, Storm is a smart businessman and knows houses, which makes this show worth the watch.

Little Singles (TLC) Rated TV-14

Posted on August 24, 2026 by laurarachel4

Five little people go to Palm Springs for a vacation together. Starring Jordana James, Stephanie Vrettakos, and Sammy Replogle.

I’m really tired of all these reality shows of a bunch of singles getting drunk and hooking up together. This is no different, and maybe it’s my prejudices that I really don’t want to see little people getting drunk. Not to mention, it’s overly done with the reality of hooking up. I don’t believe people in real life hook up as much as reality TV characters. The only positive thing about this show the showcasing of little people as real people and the misbehaviors of average people’s response to them. If you would not do that to a stranger, you shouldn’t do it to a little person. This show is not worth the watch.

Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America (HBOMAX) Rated TV-MA

Posted on August 23, 2026 by laurarachel4

Sketch comedy that explores various historical moments. Starring Larry David, Samuel L. Jackson, and Barack Obama.

I’ve not been a great fan of Larry David; he is hit or miss with comedy. These sketches are very much the same thing. Some are funny, and others are duds. It is another take of history and making it unconventional. They try to make it a funny alternative to history. This is not the first time it has been done, and I believe it has been done better before. Although, I have to say I prefer Larry David’s humor to the historical events. This still doesn’t make it worth the watch.

My Favorite Wedding (2017) Rated TV-G

Posted on May 24, 2026 by laurarachel4

 Tess and the best man team up to help make her best friend’s wedding a success. Starring Maggie Lawson, Paul Greene, and Christine Chatelain.

I rather enjoyed this film. It’s more realistic than other Hallmark films. Yes, the bride is a little crazy, but there is a method to her madness. If you watch Hallmark movies enough, you know the recipe. This film follows the procedure: boy meets girl, they have conflict, then oops everything falls into place. The chemistry between Lawson and Greene is great. While at times the story seems farfetched, it still brings the romance to the forefront. This film is worth the watch.

Singularity (2017) Rated PG-13

Posted on May 11, 2026 by laurarachel4

In the year, 2020, a computer believes that humans are the biggest threat to Earth. A century later, that same computer is trying to track down the last remaining human stronghold. Starring Julian Schaffner, John Cusack, and Carmen Argenziano.

This is not a great film. The script isn’t good; the acting isn’t good, and the CGI is one of the worst I’ve seen. While the film is the first for the director, it’s also low budget, which shows. Although the budget doesn’t necessarily make or break a film, what breaks this film are the script and acting. The film isn’t consistent with the actor; Cusack is only present in the film enough to use his name for advertisement. The idea of the film, though good, isn’t realistic. It also feels more like the film is intended to scare us rather than serve as a cautionary tale. This film is not worth the watch.
