First time director Denis Di Novi sets a significant tone and mood for “Unforgettable” that the cast was thrilled to be a part of.
Katherine Heigl stars as Tessa Connover, who is barely coping with the end of her marriage when her ex-husband, David, played by Geoff Stults, becomes happily engaged to Julia Banks, played by Rosario Dawson, not only bringing Julia into the home they once shared but also into the life of their daughter, Lilly, played by Isabella Rice.
Trying to settle into her new role as a wife and a stepmother, Julia believes she has finally met the man of her dreams, the man who can help her put her own troubled past behind her.
But Tessa’s jealousy soon takes a pathological turn until she will stop at nothing to turn Julia’s dream into her ultimate nightmare.
Di Novi explained how it was great working with two strong lead actresses and a lead actor who were able to collaborate and make the directing process easier.
Heigl explained how even though Di Novi was a first time director her career of producing quality work made it easy for the actors to trust her and follow her direction because she know what made a great movie.
The movie has moments of suspense which really rock the audience and have a major impact in the story, but it also has sensual moments which although sexy also drive the story and add to the characters.
Dawson talked about how the sex scenes are difficult to get right because most directors are trying to get angles to make it sexual and the purpose is lost, but Di Novi was able to keep it sexy and at the same time keep the purpose clear.
The pacing of the movie keeps the intensity high, although there are moments which seem to have slowed to an almost halt.
The story is still always present and continues moving in a pace which keeps the audiences glued to the screen.
The two female leads do a fantastic job at making the audience feel for them, Stults said. Dawson and Heigl made these characters feel real and that they could possibly exist in the real world.
From the beginning the characters are established and some of the more impressive moments is how they interact with each other during different occasions and when different people.
The ending is reminiscent of other movies from the same genre so its not overly surprising, but the actors in this movie do some of the best work and Dawson stands out in such a role which stands out among the other roles she is always seen in.

You guys!!!! It’s here!!!!
Here is the official poster for the new Star Wars film ‘The Last Jedi,’ and it is F*&#%&^* awesome!!!
It’s nice to see Mark Hamill’s face behind a light saber again! I’m sure most of us would love to see Luke get revenge on Kylo Ren after killing our beloved Hans Solo, am I right? I’m just excited to see another installment period! 🙂
We were also blessed with a teaser trailer which looks AMAZING! You can check that out below . . .
The film is due to be released December 15! as always, let me know what you think! What are your fan theories?
SYNOPSIS: Having taken her first steps into a larger world in Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), Rey continues her epic journey with Finn, Poe and Luke Skywalker in the next chapter of the saga.

Dominic Torretto faces a decision to make for his family in “The Fate of the Furious,” bringing a fantastic sequel that propels the franchise forward.
The story isn’t a brilliant life altering story, but it’s a magnificent change for a series that has taken some twists and turns which have been unexpected.
This installment starts with Dom, played by Vin Diesel, and Letty, played by Michelle Rodriguez, on their honeymoon in Cuba.
Both Diesel and Rodriguez have been playing these characters throughout the series and continue to play them well.
Cipher, played by Charlize Theron, brings a proposal to Dom which he accepts.
Theron is a fantastic villain which adds an element of viciousness which the prior villains of the Fast and Furious franchise had not before. She is an equal to any of the members of Dom’s team, but adds a seductively dominant quality that will entice audiences.
To avoid spoilers, Hobbs, played by Dwayne Johnson, and Deckard, played by Jason Statham, end up in the same prison.
Johnson has a likable comedic element which helps to bring more to his character than just another brute force cop.
Statham is able to explore his character further and bring out more than expected. The parkour moves he does keep his character being highly entertaining.
The rest of the team – Roman, played by Tyrese Gibson, Tej Parker, played by Ludacris, and Ramsey, played by Nathalie Emmanuel – are back as well with Mr. Nobody, played by Kurt Russell and new comer Owen, played by Luke Evans.
Gibson and Ludacris get the best lines and such funny moments that it’s hard not to think of them as a crucial part of what made this movie good.
What makes this movie worth watching is a spoiler, which I will avoid mentioning, but will elude to.
Vin Diesel takes Dom’s character to a whole new level.
Dom’s relationship with Letty gets put to the test, enemies become allies and the family dynamic of the group changes.
The cars are amazing as they always are in this series.
Dom and Letty get the bad ass muscle cars which can take a beating and keep going.
Roman gets the flashy cars which help him become a bullseye.
Tej and Ramsey get cars which are high-tech as they are brilliant with technology.
Hobbs gets the large-bulky powerful trucks which go with his personality.
The villain gets the vehicles which can be seen as impossible to take down with a regular car.
The ending, much like the rest of the ending of these series wraps up with an inspirational message.
I give this action film a 4 out of 5 Popcorns. Discussing this movie with my guest to the screening Jessica Cameron, It held its own with the story and the action was just enough to be entertaining but not over doing it. It’s an entertaining ride which is enjoyable and adds something new to the franchise, a female villain that is equal in every way to any of the male counterparts. Charlize Theron is one of the biggest reasons to watch this movie, having watched it in IMAX was another great part. It’s a movie that benefits from the IMAX experience.
“The Fate of the Furious” is out in theaters April 14.

Hey everyone!
I’m sorry for falling behind a bit on these daily posts, but last weekend was my birthday! Never fear, I’m in catch-up mode and will try to combine some days so I don’t bombard you with my rambling lol.
For Day Seven, I wanted to talk about Playlists!
I’m a HUGE music lover and I absolutely love finding new artists. I get tired of hearing the same 5 songs in rotation on the radio, so any time I can Shazam a song from a TV show or movie I’m a happy camper! I’m always taking suggestions too, so if you know of anyone I should check out, comment on this post and let me know!
I have a few playlists going on Apple Music right now, but the one I use the most is eclectic to say the least! I have Hailee Steinfeld, ZAYN, Ed Sheeran, The 1975, Syml, Muse, Lady Gaga, The Chainsmokers, Ruelle and Amber Run. Ruelle is featured a lot on one of my favorite shows, The Originals, and they’re absolutely incredible! I usually add a lot of my Shazam tags to that playlist as well so it’s always growing.
I also have a Justin Timberlake playlist, OneRepublic, The Script and Imagine Dragons. Those four are probably my favorite artists/bands.
How about you? What are you listening to? Is there anyone I should check out?
Day Eight is about highlighting what Plans are on my to-do list . . . and there’s a lot! I won’t bore you with everything, but here are the essentials:
That’s all I’ll bore you with for now, but let me know what plans you have for the rest of the year!
Hey, movie lovers!
I know I’m late to the game on this one, but I watched it last night with my niece and just had to post about it. To be quite honest, I’m surprised it has a 12% on Rotten Tomatoes! I can see how some people might not enjoy it as much as I did, but I wonder if the people who didn’t like it have experienced loss in their lives. From personal experience, I know how death can create these questions in your mind about love, time and death so the meaning behind the movie really hit me in the heart. My niece just loves any movie that can make her cry for some reason (teenagers!), but she loves this one!
SYNOPSIS: Retreating from life after a tragedy, a man questions the universe by writing to Love, Time and Death. Receiving unexpected answers, he begins to see how these things interlock and how even loss can reveal moments of meaning and beauty.
Let me start by saying that Will Smith kills it in this movie. We all know he’s a great actor, but he hasn’t always chosen the best roles in his career. In this one though, he plays the role of a grieving father so perfectly that you can actually feel his pain. The entire cast does a great job, in my opinion. I found myself getting angry at his friends for scheming behind his back, then I felt sympathy for them because Howard’s grief has affected their lives as well. I think I felt every emotion imaginable while watching this movie and, for me, that’s a sign of a good one.
Every twist and turn in this movie was great and it’s not until the credits roll that everything sort of hits you all at once.
Usually when I see a new movie in the theater, or rent one on On Demand, I try to judge it based on whether or not I would actually buy it or possibly catch it again down the road when it’s streaming online. I rented this one last night and I would definitely buy it. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s one to at least check out. So grab a box of tissues and try to put yourself in this man’s shoes for about 2 hours.
If you forgot what this movie was about, check out the trailer below and if you decide to watch it, let me know what you thought!

Starring two-time Academy Award® nominee Jude Law and Academy Award® winner Diane Keaton, the “superb” (Rolling Stone) HBO® limited series The Young Pope is yours to own on Digital Download April 10, 2017 and on Blu-RayTM and DVD June 6th, 2017. The series, which delves in to the life of a newly elected pope (Law) – the youngest in history and first-ever American – whose audacity, independence and arch-conservatism wreaks havoc within the Vatican. Heralded by critics as “dazzling, riveting” (TV Guide), The Young Pope on Blu-rayTM, DVD and Digital Download includes all ten episodes of the limited series and three special features including an exclusive new “The Making of The Young Pope” featurette. The Blu-rayTM and DVD release also include a free Digital Download copy.
From Academy Award winner for Best Foreign Language Film, Paolo Sorrentino, the ten-episode limited series The Young Pope tells the fictional story of Lenny Belardo, a.k.a. Pius XIII, the first-ever American Pope and the youngest elected by the College of Cardinals. At first glance, Lenny’s selection over older and more experienced clerics – in particular Cardinal Spencer, a fellow American and Lenny’s mentor – seems part of a simple media strategy by Vatican elders, who no doubt expect the new Pope to toe the line and follow their lead. Instead, Pius XIII eschews the counsel of the Vatican’s Secretary of State, Cardinal Voiello, and enlists the woman who raised him, Sister Mary, to be his chief confidante. To the chagrin of Voiello and the PR reps who would market the handsome and charming young Pope, Lenny refuses to allow himself to be photographed, and he announces a series of severe, hardline initiatives that confound the Vatican status quo. The Young Pope paints a portrait of a mysterious, complicated man fully aware of the contradictions and consequences of being the conservative leader of a billion followers in a changing world – but unwilling to bend in the execution of his duties.
The ensemble cast includes Jude Law (Lenny Belardo), Diane Keaton (Sister Mary), Scott Shepherd (Cardinal Dussolier), James Cromwell (Cardinal Spencer), Ludivine Sagnier (Esther), Silvio Orlando (Cardinal Voiello), Cécile De France (Sofia), Javier Cámara (Monsignor Bernardo Alonso Gutierrez), Toni Bertorelli (Cardinal Caltanissetta), and more. All 10 episodes are directed and edited by Paolo Sorrentino, co-writer and director of The Great Beauty and winner of an Academy Award for the Best Foreign Language Film in 2014.

It’s been a while since thisfunktional showed support for a crowdfunding project, but “Dick Pig” is a fascinating interactive cartoon project.
Check out the indiegogo project here: igg.me/at/DickPig. (Donate and share all you can). There’s less than two weeks left to reach the goal.
What made this such a fantastic project is that SendADickPig.com users will be able to select specific characters, decide their fate from numerous animated Dick Pig escapades, and send to friends (and foes) via text, email and social media.
Dick Pig – The Retaliative Telegram, delivering justice one DICK MOVE at a time.
This project is a fusion of the witty adult humor of actress and burlesque show host Cat LaCohie (Vixen DeVille) and artistic talents of former Disney cartoon creator Len Smith. Both have spent their money, time and talents developing this as much as possible.
If their goal is met, this crowdfunding project will allow for Dick Pig to be in complete creative control of LaCohie and Smith and allow them to bring to their audience the best content possible.
What does the donations help with? Well it helps build a website that is optimal to providing the best content possible with the best user interface possible for everyone to enjoy the interactive antics of Dick Pig. Animators will be able to be brought on board to quickly provide more and more content, with storylines, to hopefully propel this project to a TV series for even more people to enjoy Dig Pig.
Then, for the fans, merchandise can be made for everyone of you fans who enjoy Dick Pig to proudly own.
The indiegogo project igg.me/at/DickPig has less than two weeks left to reach the goal.
Ladies and gents . . . the long-awaited first single from the One Direction heartthrob, Harry Styles, has been released today!
Following in the footsteps of his band mates (most of them, anyway), Harry has released ‘ Sign of the Times’ on April 7, 2017. Strange to know that there are thousands of young girls losing their minds today because of it – my niece included! It’s interesting how different their musical styles are, isn’t it? Harry Styles with this 80’s rock style single, Niall Horan released an acoustic style ‘This Town,’ Louis Tomlinson released an electronic/dance vibe single ‘Just Hold On’ with Steve Aoki and we’re still waiting on Liam Payne to release something! We also saw Zayn Malik branch out on his own with a different style as well.
I also find it interesting that this is the one boy band who has seen ALL members branch out to do their own thing. Not even my beloved *NSYNC did that!
Anyway, Harry will be performing ‘Sign of the Times’ on NBC’s Saturday Night Live this Saturday, April 15. You can also check out his upcoming movie, Dunkirk, which will be in theaters this SUMMER, July 21, 2017.
So here is the audio “video” released on Harry’s VEVO channel:
You guys!!!! We have been blessed with another EP from our favorite a capella group!
Pentatonix released their new EP, PTX Vol. IV – Classics, today April 7 and – no surprise – it’s incredible! We got to see their music video for ‘Imagine’ (posted below) a few weeks ago and it was fantastic. Their vocals were great and the message in the video was powerful. One of my favorite things about this group, besides their vocal talent, is the fact that their videos are so low budget but are better than most big budget videos. They showcase their talent rather than distracting us with nonsense lol.
So check out their ‘Imagine’ and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ (released today!) videos below and let me know what you think!
Also…if you’re thinking of heading out to see them LIVE (and I strongly suggest you do), you can read my review of their show here in South Florida by clicking the link below:

The loaded question for Day Six is:
What is one thing you need to start doing?
Besides the typical going to the gym, eating healthy, saving money, etc., I think my answer for this one is that I need to start driving places. Yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds lol.
Throughout my life my dad always drove my mom and me everywhere. Starting a new job? He’d drive you there to let you get a feel for the area before having to do it by yourself. Need to stop by school for something? He’d drive you there too. The man LOVED to drive and would volunteer to drive you everywhere. While I appreciated it at the time, I feel like it caused some damage. I get anxiety when I have to drive places I’m not familiar with.
I’m 33 and have lived in Miami for the past 27 years, but I’ve yet to drive myself to Orlando. That means I can’t take little spontaneous trips to Disney with my niece, I can’t plan road trips with friends because I’m the only one whose hands start to sweat when I have to get on a highway. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a good driver and I’m a safe driver, but I don’t trust other drivers. I’ve seen way too many people putting make-up on while they drive, plucking their eyebrows, eating, texting . . . you get the point. It makes me nervous and I try to avoid it.
The anxiety I get comes with a price though. Friends invite me to things and I sometimes turn them down because the thought of driving there alone makes my head spin. This sometimes causes them to think twice about inviting me because they automatically assume I’ll turn down the invite. It hurts sometimes, but I’m sure it hurts them when I can’t make it. Something that people don’t try to understand about anxiety though is that it’s not something you can just say, “Hey! I’m gonna get over this today!” Believe me, I wish it was that easy because I tell myself that all the time.
So that’s what I need to start doing . . . I need to take baby steps so that I can eventually make that trip to Disney with my niece
