My Boyfriend Makes Me Watch Ridiculous Movies: Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter
It's October, and last Friday was the 13th. Fully in the mood for a creepy movie, Rico decides it's a great opportunity to make some suggestions that weren't on the list. Among them is a movie I thought was my flavor of ridiculous.

5 Reasons to Watch 'The Gifted' on FOX
Firstly, I'd like to give a brief explanation on what FOX's new show The Gifted is really all about. The series mainly focuses on the Struckers, your average, well-off, generically nuclear family. After certain events unfold within the first episode (I won't spoil anything), the parents discover that their children are mutants. Within this world, much like with any other X-title, mutants are feared and hated, so it's not a big surprise when the authorities begin their pursuit of the children for being "Dangerous Mutants." The parents, Reed (Stephen Moyer) and Kate (Amy Acker) decide that family is the most important thing and decide to flee the authorities to keep their children, Lauren (Natalie Alyn Lind) and Andy (Percy Hynes White), safe. The main antagonists of the series are the agents from "Sentinel Services" (If you think that word sounds familiar, you'd be right, "Sentinels" are those are the giant mechanized monstrosities known for claiming hundreds of mutant lives within the comics, movies, and television adaptations).

Movie Review: 'The Foreigner'
It seems that I am not a big fan of the work of actor Pierce Brosnan. It’s not that I have an active dislike for the man, but rather, in looking at my cumulative opinion of his work over his 35-plus year career, I have only given Brosnan two positive reviews. Grant you, I have only been a critic for 20 years, but Brosnan was on TV for most of the time before I came into my profession. He had arguably his biggest successes in the James Bond franchise during my time as a critic. Then again, I don’t have a particularly high opinion of that franchise, either.

Sexiest Shows on Netflix
Let's be real, the best television shows generally feature a good bit of sex. One of the most popular shows in the history of the world, Game of Thrones, features so much sex it frequently casts porn stars. They aren't alone, most of the shows on premium channels — Netflix included — are sex heavy.

'Once Upon a Time' Season
I have been a big fan on Once Upon a Time since the first episode aired. I followed religiously for years. But toward the end, I was getting bored. Then I heard about the reboot for Season 7. First I was skeptical, but the more I saw the previews, the more I wanted to see it.

'Fuller House' and the Nostalgia Factor
I grew up watching Full House late at night on Nickelodeon. I would sit in front of the television with my parents, and my mom would croon over Uncle Jesse while my dad worked on his computer. I would wish I lived in San Francisco in the 80s and 90s and I would be jealous of how large and close-knit their family was. Despite the cheesy music that played during the shows cyclic emotional moments, I would continue watching. The show in itself was a huge part of my childhood.
