Short AF Series Review | You


Hey guys, so today I'm going to be doing a short AF review on the TV series "You". As usual this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests), and spoiler free. (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers, however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the series.)



"A clever bookstore manager relies on his savvy Internet know - how to make the woman of his dreams fall in love with him."

Okay so before we get into this review, no IMDB that is not at all what this movie is about. You guys will see exactly what this movie is about once you've watched it. As bad as it sounds, the only reason I watched this movie is because I saw that Shay Mitchell was in it (and I loved her in pretty little liars, so I thought I would love her in this too). I binged this whole series in less than a day, I just could not stop watching. The tv series is gripping, it just keeps pulling you in for more. I love "Beck" as a character and find her somewhat relatable. The ending of the series had me right on the edge of my seat and whilst I'm not very happy with what happened... I understood why it did and that cliffhanger definitely left me wanting more. I love the way they portray Joe and how his character develops (Don't get me wrong, I know he's not a good character, I just like the way they portray him to be somewhat "good"

I cannot give this tv series enough praise, it's been a little while since I've seen a crime tv show entice me this much (other than "how to get away with murder" but we'll talk about that another day.) Please give this movie a try and let me know what you think of it. I give this series an 8/10 (only because of the ending).

What did you think of this series? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Have you watched this series yet? Please let me know down in the comments below!

Have a wonderful day.

Short AF Movie Review | Bird Box


Hey guys so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "Bird Box". As usual this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the movie)


"Five years after an ominous unseen presence drives most of society to suicide, a mother and her two children make a desperate bid to reach safety"

So this movie has been advertised everywhere since it was announced that it was going to be put onto netflix, so as you can imagine the hype for this was real. It has some amazing actors in, was a "psychological horror" and just had so much hype around. So I decided to watch it almost the moment it came out on netflix. Boy, this movie was so good. It's not very often that I enjoy horrors because I hate jump scares and I'm not good with scary stuff unless it's books. There wasn't many jump scares in this movie, but, if you're not good with suicide please do not watch this movie because there is quite a bit of it in this movie and it's done in a lot of different ways. If you love psychological horrors/thrillers I would definitely recommend this movie to you. The ending of this movie has had a lot of different reactions but personally I loved it. The only thing to me that was kind of disappointing is that we never got to see what the creatures looked like, however that also made it kind of more scary. (Also the fact that Sandra Bullock couldn't stop laughing when they were supposed to see the creatures probably means it was a good thing that it wasn't shown). Please, if you get the chance too, watch it! You won't be disappointed! I give this movie a 10/10!

Have you watched this movie yet? If you did, what did you think of it? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!

Short AF Movie Review | Nappily Ever After


Hey guys, so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "Nappily Ever After". As usual, this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests), and spoiler free (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the movie)


"Violet Jones tired of waiting for her longtime boyfriend to propose, breaks up with him. But old feelings, and heaps of jealousy, no doubt, arise when he promptly begins dating another woman."

This movie has had so much hype behind it so I thought I'd give it a watch. It was actually worth every bit of hype that it was given. There's a lot of things about this movie that I'm not going to talk about because I personally can't. Honestly though, this is the most uplifting, positive, self loving movie I've watched in a long time. It was also amazing to watch a new bunch of actors that I've never seen in anything else before (other than Ricky Whittle who I've seen in both Hollyoaks as Calvin when I was younger and now American gods as Shadow. I also honestly hated him in this movie which I'm not happy about because he's the sweetest little cinnamon bun in both Hollyoaks and American gods but it was great to see that sort of acting from himself.). I loved watching Violet's journey of self love and how she turned into a strong, independent woman through the movie. I think young girls everywhere should watch this movie. 10/10 for me definitely.

Have you watched this movie yet? If you did, what did you think of it? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!

Short AF Movie Review | Bridget Jones's Baby


Hey guys so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "Bridget Jones's Baby".

I don't care who you are if you're over the age of 20 you probably grew up watching the first two movies, and even if you hated the first two movies you went to see this one so you could see what was going to happen! I actually loved the first two movies and when I saw this was coming out I knew that I had to watch it! The first thing I want to say is holy crap they all look so different. (I get that it's been a couple of years since the last movie came out and yes I've seen them in other movies but it was still weird). I loved that they played up the initial falling in the mud troupe (Sort of a spoiler but trust me it's not a huge thing). I loved that Bridget was still writing her diary. I was so happy to see the familiar faces and also to meet some new ones. It was definitely a perfect ending for Bridget Jones. I would recommend this to anyone who watched these movies growing up. 10 out of 10 for sure!

Short AF Movie Review | Bad Moms


Hey guys so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "Bad Moms". As usual, this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests), and spoiler free. (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the movie.)


"When three overworked and under - appreciated moms are pushed beyond their limits, they ditch their conventional responsibilities for a jolt of long overdue freedom, fun and comedic self - indulgence."

So the main reason I wanted to watch this movie is because there are so many actors in this movie that I love (especially Mila Kunis), and it looked like such a funny comedy to get into. Let me tell you, I wasn't disappointed. I loved that the main theme of the story was that they shouldn't put each other down and should join in their womanhood in being "bad moms". Personally, I cannot touch on the mother experience as I don't have kids, and I also don't want kids. This movie was amazing though, it was really feel good and super funny! I love the character development in this movie especially with Amy and Kiki. I love that they were all strong, independent women OR became strong independent women. I'd give this movie a 9 out of 10, and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to watch a good comedy movie.

Short AF Movie Review | Everything, Everything


Hey guys so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "Everything, Everything". As usual, this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests), and spoiler free (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't.

"A teenager who's spent her whole life confined to her home falls for the boy next door."

So when the movie came out for this I was so excited to watch it. However, it took me forever to watch it because I wanted to read the book before watching the movie. So I finally got down to reading the book (which I'll probably do a short AF review on one day but today just isn't that day), I loved it so I decided I wanted to watch the movie. I loved it, honestly there wasn't a lot of things missing from the movie that there was from the book (I mean, there were a couple but nothing that would drive me crazy watching the movie). The story between these two progresses so naturally and I could eat up every moment of it. The visuals were stunning in this movie and they brought everything I could see in my own mind whilst reading the book to life. If you're a sucker for romance movies with a twist then you'll love this movie. I give it a 10 out of 10 for sure, and would recommend this to everyone (Unless you don't like romance movies obviously).

"A young woman is forced to reflect on her first relationship when she inadvertently moves into her ex - boyfriend's apartment building."

Okay so I promised you I wasn't going to be doing another musical this week and I stuck to this promise. However, I believe this will be the first ever non - positive movie review I've done on this blog. When the trailer for this movie came out, I was really excited for it. I love rom coms especially ones like this. I just didn't like this one. There was a lot of reasons for me to not like this movie. For example: The way it jumps around is so confusing and hard to keep up with and I just found myself getting disinterested (It can be done well, if you want a good movie that does that well watch "The Last Five Years"). Also I hated the ending, so much. It's the type of ending they want you to love but it just didn't work. The character's were really whiny and there was little to no character development. (I'm sorry to the people who may have enjoyed this but this one just wasn't for me)
