Movie Review – Crazy Rich Asians

October 6, 2020 By Maryse Leave a Comment

Crazy Rich Asians <—-Β WITH ALL THE BUZZ about this one, it’s been on my TBR list (AND my to be watched list) list for awhile now. I one-clicked the bookΒ by by Kevin Kwan a year or so ago, and then Amazon told me that the movie was on an amazing rental-sale (for Prime Day/Prime month πŸ˜‰ ), so I dove in!!!! AND OMG IT TOOK MY BREATH AWAY!!!!!! Absolutely stunning in all senses of the word.

Maryse: I AM HITTING ALL of the awesome movies today!!! CRAZY RICH ASIANS is FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!!!!!!!!!!! My heart is overflowing right now. MUST WATCH – the music is AMAZING too (or must read!!) read more

Movie Review – The Will by Kristen Ashley playing on Passionflix

June 14, 2020 By Maryse 5 Comments

I just watched The Will (on Passionflix)!! A book written by one of my favorites, Kristen Ashley turned into a real life movie, it was the perfect way to start a lazy Sunday morning. My favorite coffee ever (Cinnamon Twist by Angelinos) and a sweet Hallmark-ish/Lifetime-ish movie but with SUPER-STEAM!! OMG THAT LOCKER ROOM SCENE. That was intense.

You get what I’m hinting at. πŸ˜‰

P.S. The kicker (and what sets the tone for the movie as a whole, is that her grandmother pretty much willed everything to her… BUT ALSO!!!! Her grandmother willed HER to HIM – a strip club owner). GASP!!!!! And they don’t even know each other. Good times!! LOL! πŸ˜‚ read more
