by Diana Vaccarelli

This episode of Outlander, entitled “Vengeance is Mine,” covers so much ground that it’s hard to know where to begin.

After several victories, Bonnie Price Charlie (Andrew Gower) and his Generals argue over whether to storm London. After much debate they decide to turn back to Scotland for the winter and to their ultimate defeat in the future. While in Scotland, our band of merry men are trapped in a church by English Soldiers. To save them, Claire (Caitriona Balfe) comes up with a plan all too appropriate to the world of 2016.

by Diana Vaccarelli

I’m a kid at heart. Growing up watching Boy Meets World I was super excited about the spinoff Girl Meets World. I’ve been watching this show for the past two season. Season 3 recently premiered and follows Riley (played by Rowan Blanchard), the daughter of Cory (Ben Savage) and Topanga (Danielle Fishell) and her friends as they start High School.hbt

THE GOOD:

  • The nostalgia that it brings while watching it. It reminds me of the original and brings back great memories of youth. I’m totally stuck in an irresistible groove that keeps me smiling at all the old characters coming back into my life.

Diana Vacc Sees X-Men Apocalypse

by Diana Vaccarelli

I’m a huge fan of the X-Men film series.  I was so excited that another one was coming out.  X-Men Apocalypse introduces the audience to the first ever mutant, coincidentally enough named, Apocalypse.  In this film the X-Men must reunite to defeat his plan to extinct human kind. What do we think, everybody? Will the X’s succeed?

hbt-203x300THE GOOD:

  • The special effects in this film are every bit as good as they need to be for X-Men Apocalypse to qualify as a summer blockbuster.
  • The Acting was good enough but only two cast members are stand-outs. James McAvoy performance as Charles Xaviar aka Professor X was raw and real as he is held captive by our villian and tries to save all of humanity. Oscar Isaac portrays our villain Apocalypse in a way I’ve never seen before. Watching Apocalypse, I absolutely hated him…but at the same time I found myself relating to the character more than any other character on the screen.
