The internet wants you to believe that Borderlands is the worst film of the year, but that's not the case.. AI-Generated.
Last Friday, August 9, I went to an opening night screening of "Borderlands," so I was prepared for the worst. Back then, the film had a dismal 6% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (it has since skyrocketed to a whopping 9%), and my colleague had just given it a one-star rating in our "Borderlands" review. As soon as the lights went down and the movie started, I had very low expectations.

The Golden Girls and Sex and the City share the same character archtypes
Today I went to church and bible study after a very traumatic month of being relocated due to hurricane devastation. I respect the pastor of that church and he has continued to check in on me so I wanted to show him (and Jesus) that I am not an ingrate, nor have I totally forsaken my faith. I am a complicated woman and one thing I'm proud of myself for is the ability to ascertain when I must take my time about who and where I should spend my time. If I feel like it's only going to make me feel worse when I'm already drowning, I take a break.

Born Yesterday (1950) was the kind of film my imaginary 1940s screenwriting persona was destined to write. It’s funny, topical, features a sassy female lead and just occasionally tips over into preachy. (I know my faults).
