I just stumbled on one of those beautiful edits from The Summer I Turned Pretty and finally decided to make this post. My TikTok FYP has been going crazy with the whole “Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah” debate, and it’s been so fun going through them. The edits, comments, banter, observations, and all the different takes people have about the show. Honestly, I would have sworn the Movie and TV Shows community on Hive would also be filled with creators’ posts about this show, The Summer I Turned Pretty. Shockingly, I got here and haven’t seen a single post about it, even after my endless scrolling. This almost made me chicken out of making this post, because the big question is “WHO ELSE IS FOLLOWING THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY OVER HERE?!” But I decided to post anyway. I want to have faith that there are TSITP fans here too.

This isn’t exactly a movie review by the way. It’s more like me sharing my thoughts about the show and telling you which team I’m on (with my reasons, of course). I honestly hope someone argues with me so we can start a whole conversation and banter, lol! Guys, the tension is a whole lot, it’s literally torture to wait a whole week for new episodes of a show that ends with crazy cliffhangers every time. As much as I like following shows so I can relate to posts on social media, the tension that comes with it is a lot too. I remember how pained I was when I finished Game of Thrones about two years ago and had no one to rant to or share my feelings with. I couldn’t even find recent posts about it. I just had to stay in my room and process the whole thing by myself, which was torture too. Honestly, I don’t even know where I stand; it’s torture either way.

Anyways, who else is TEAM CONRAD over here? YES, I am a hundred percent Team Conrad and have been since the very beginning. I don’t understand why people misunderstand his character so much or the things he was going through when he was with Belly. Obviously, he didn’t handle his depression well, but really, I don’t think it’s fair to tell people how to process hurt. I just wish he had communicated better and stopped being so scared of messing things up, because that’s exactly what happened eventually. His character is very complex, he battles with anxiety, panic attacks and so much more, it's crazy.

I’ve never been on Team Jeremiah because of certain things that happened in season one. The most annoying was when he shot that firework to distract Belly and Conrad from having their very first kiss. The anger and jealousy in his eyes was so questionable. And then, seeing how bubbly Conrad was the next morning, Jeremiah still went ahead to confess his love to Belly. Who does that?! He created that unnecessary triangle that’s stressing us all till now. And after Belly went back to Conrad after their talk, Jeremiah got crazily mad. He literally started seeing Belly as a potential love interest when he sensed there was something between her and Conrad. Like he just wanted to compete with him or something, since people always made him feel Conrad was better than him. I could go on and on, for real.

Even with Jeremiah cheating in this new season and how annoying his character has been, I still don’t understand the hate people give to him. They even extend the hate from his character to him as a person—that’s so low! I don’t get how people can’t separate an actor from their role. Some were even mocking his eyes. His eyes? those eyes are so damn beautiful, duhh! Jeremiah is gorgeous, he’s such a fine person. I just judged way beyond looks before choosing a team. Jeremiah’s character is weak, insecure, and manipulative, but also complex and deserving of grace sometimes. For instance, his dad is usually way too hard on him, and he constantly feels the need to prove himself.

Let’s talk about Belly for a minute before I end this, because I could go on and on, lol. Belly babies Jeremiah way too much and compromises so much in that relationship. Just so he doesn’t get mad or start crashing out, she literally suppresses her own happiness for his sake. She wouldn’t take half of those things if she were with Conrad. With him, she finds it natural to say her mind, even if it comes out harsh sometimes. She could easily forgive Jeremiah for cheating, but couldn’t forgive Conrad for being depressed and withdrawn while his mom was dying. GREAT! Belly needs to be brutally honest with herself, and we all know that if she ever gets to that point, she’ll definitely go for Conrad.

Aside from all of this, I hate storylines like this! It’s so messed up, because why make one person be between two brothers? It’s not even just between them, there are too many back-and-forths, and it’s like they don’t realize how messed up it is. I can’t even imagine that happening in real life—it’s so cringy. Jeremiah would have been the best best-friend material for Belly, while Belly and Conrad remain the soulmates that they already are. But for the sake of drama, where’s the fun in that? lol. So, we wait to see how it all pans out.

The whole wedding situation is also hilarious—Jeremiah doesn’t even know what’s next, he just wants to win so badly. Like Belly is a trophy or something, okay! As much as I want Belly and Conrad to end up together, I don’t even know what that would look like. Her shuffling between brothers is just weird. Still, I look forward to whatever Jenny Han is cooking—it better be good. I cannot handle being heartbroken at the end of this show. I’ll come here to crash out.

On this whole “TEAM CONRAD OR TEAM JEREMIAH” debate, it’s literally everywhere—even the football team Juventus posted about it on TikTok! And guess what? THEY ARE TEAM CONRAD, YAYYYYYY! NBL(National Basketball League) also posted as well and they are team Conrad.

I honestly didn’t think this post would be this long, but if you read to this point, you’re a gem!

Thanks for reading❤️

Hi guys, how are you all? Hope you are very well. Friends, we who like to watch movies, or those who like action movies, we definitely know some heroes in the world. Not only do we say, but all over the world who have a little idea about movies know them very well. When I used to watch action movies from my childhood, I first understood what we mean by action by watching their movies.

Hand-fight movies or those heroes who are good at hand-fighting are always at the top of the list of favorites, not just me, who likes action movies. For example, among the world's best heroes in hand fighting or kung fu karate, the best hero is Bruce Lee, Jackie Chang, or Jat li. I grew up watching their movies as a child.

Jat li acting or the movies he acts in are great action movies, I think every one of his movies is amazing, so this movie will have some great action, it's only natural. Every type of action scene in this movie, I mean, those who love action, this movie will be a different kind of thrill. I can't say whether I watched the movie or not, but whenever I remember, I watch this movie because the action scenes in this movie are amazing to me. and one of the best action movies

Hola mi gente espero esten todos muy bien, un gran abrazo para todos ustedes, y un feliz inicio de semana, el dia de hoy la ediciòn trata sobre la telenovela, "LA MUJER PROHIBIDA". Discfruten este articulo.

La mujer prohibida es una telenovela venezolana producida por Venevisión, cuyo estreno fue en 1972, transmitiéndose hasta marzo de 1973 en el horario de las 9:00 p.m. Este espacio estelar surgió gracias al éxito de la industria del melodrama, con la novela inaugurando ese horario con gran impacto en la audiencia.

-Título: La mujer prohibida. -Canal: Venevisión. -Emisión original: Del 18 de junio de 1972 al 31 de marzo de 1973. -Creador / Guion: Manuel Muñoz Rico (creador) y José Piñera. -Dirección: José Antonio Ferrara. -Tema musical: Háblame suavemente interpretado por Rudy Márquez. -Protagonistas: Ada Riera (como Virginia Galván), Martín Lantigua (Marcos Villena), Humberto García (Cristian Villena) -Antagonista: Amelia Román interpretando a “La Waica”. -Elenco adicional destacado: Gioia Lombardini, Luis Abreu, Haydée Balza, Jesús Maella, y otros.

La historia se desarrolla en San Pedro del Orinoco, una zona rural venezolana. Virginia Galván, joven muda desde niña tras presenciar la muerte de su madre en un incendio, es llamada urgentemente por su padre para regresar a casa. Allí, lo compromete con Marcos Villena a quien debe dinero. Virginia acepta para salvar a su padre. En la hacienda, sufre el rechazo de La Waica, la amante india y rival celosa. Además, conoce al hijo de Marcos, Cristian, con quien surge un conflicto amoroso imposible, dado que ella está comprometida con el padre. A medida que avanza la trama, la rivalidad, los secretos familiares y la lucha por el amor imposible dan paso a giros dramáticos intensos.

La mujer prohibida revolucionó el horario nocturno de Venevisión, marcó tendencia por explorar psiques humanas profundas y dejar atrás el melodrama tradicional “rosa”.

Ada Riera consolidó su primer gran protagonismo televisivo con Virginia, mientras Martín Lantigua encarnó al complejo Marcos. Humberto García interpretó inicialmente al galán Cristian, aunque luego su personaje se transformó a raíz de una controversia pública (posó desnudo), lo que llevó al guion a convertirlo en antagonista . El impacto fue notable y provocó incluso una secuela: La Loba (1973), continuando la narrativa con el mismo nivel de éxito.

La mujer prohibida (1972–1973) es un verdadero referente de la telenovela venezolana clásica. Su narrativa madura, su elenco dramático y su potente impacto cultural la convierten en una pieza fundamental en la historia del melodrama nacional. Inauguró un nuevo horario estelar para el género y sentó las bases para producciones más audaces en contenido y forma.

Bueno mi gente espero que sea de su agrado esta ediciòn y nos vemos en el siguiente articulo.

Your Place or Mine is a romantic comedy that can fully live up to ones expectations (it was more than fine for me) - especially with Ashton Kutcher and Reese Witherspoon as the protagonists.

Even though I had not watched a recent movie of them, I knew that with these two leading the story, it would probably be a charming and entertaining film.

The story:

Two long-distance best friends change each other's lives when she decides to pursue a lifelong dream and he volunteers to keep an eye on her teenage son.

What really surprised me today when I checked imdb, is the 5.7/10 rating. I would definitely put it a bit above 6 and I admit that I enjoyed this movie, even found many funny points that made me smile.

The chemistry between the characters feels natural and engaging, making the story flow smoothly. The film manages to avoid keep the viewers' attention, as the interest is almost ongoing without many dull or slow moments. Just when you think you know where the story is heading, some cool plot twists appear to keep you invested until the very end.

Overall, Your Place or Mine is a feel-good watch that delivers exactly what you’d hope for from a romantic comedy, led by two beloved actors.

I would describe it as funny, warm, and very pleasant to watch.

I would suggest is a great pick for anyone looking to enjoy a sweet story with a few surprises along the way.

Extra: You can watch some nice spots of New York too :) and also if you liked Grays Anatomy, there is another surprise waiting for you!

Also, just a trivial question .. do you believe in true friendship between women-men?

Thanks for taking the time to visit :)

Hello blog friends, how are you? Here I am again with a review of one of Shonda Rhimes's series I loved most: Bridgerton, a historical drama based on Julia Quinn's novels. It's romantic, delightful, a sort of Pride and Prejudice with a more modern and worldly twist. The undisputed protagonist of this latest season is the incredibly cute Penelope Featherington, who continues to hide her identity as a beloved and hated gossip writer. Despite her difficult life in the second season, Penelope blossoms in the third season, showcasing all her courage and beauty. Her goal? To finally find a good husband. Penelope changes her wardrobe and attitude, becoming bolder and stronger, revealing herself in all her uniqueness. This season, Penelope's family returns to the forefront, as do other families like Francesca Bridgerton, who is also looking for a husband to match her sweet, slavish nature, and then there's Colin. Colin Bridgerton, Penelope's best childhood friend, returned from his travels in Europe, from a boy he has become a man of the world with a few vices and a somewhat bohemian life.

Hola amigos del blog, ¿qué tal? Aquí estoy de nuevo con la reseña de una de las series de Shonda Rhimes que más me gustó: Bridgerton, un drama histórico basado en las novelas de Julia Quinn. Es romántico, encantador, una especie de Orgullo y Prejuicio con un toque más moderno y cosmopolita. La protagonista indiscutible de esta última temporada es la increíblemente adorable Penélope Featherington, quien sigue ocultando su identidad como escritora de chismes, amada y odiada a la vez. A pesar de su difícil vida en la segunda temporada, Penélope florece en la tercera, mostrando todo su coraje y belleza. ¿Su objetivo? Encontrar por fin un buen marido. Penélope cambia de vestuario y actitud, volviéndose más audaz y fuerte, revelándose en toda su singularidad. Esta temporada, la familia de Penélope vuelve a cobrar protagonismo, al igual que otras familias como la de Francesca Bridgerton, quien también busca un marido a la altura de su dulce y servil naturaleza, y luego está Colin. Colin Bridgerton, el mejor amigo de la infancia de Penélope, regresa de sus viajes por Europa y, de niño, se ha convertido en un hombre de mundo con algunos vicios y una vida un tanto bohemia.

But Colin isn't just a young hedonist and traveler; he's also a kindhearted man who wants to help his friend Penelope find a husband. She's always harbored feelings for him, and he begins to develop feelings for her, and friendship quickly turns into passion. It was a beautiful season, criticized by some precisely because of its protagonist, who isn't one of the usual skinny, emaciated actresses.

Penelope is a curvy woman finally removed from the usual roles of the nice but sexually unappealing curvy friend. Penelope is a character who exudes and creates great sensuality, overturning and destroying the usual clichés about curvy people, becoming the undisputed star of the season: beautiful, intelligent, and sensual. Some called the actress brave for appearing half-naked, and she responded in kind, saying it wasn't courage; it was simply loving and accepting one's body, because even a body that goes beyond the standards of beauty that demand everyone be thin is a beautiful and sensual body. A season that I really liked, much more than the second season, if you haven't seen it yet, make up for it and you will really appreciate Penelope's character!

Pero Colin no es solo un joven hedonista y viajero; también es un hombre bondadoso que quiere ayudar a su amiga Penélope a encontrar marido. Ella siempre ha sentido algo por él, y él empieza a sentir lo mismo por ella, y la amistad rápidamente se transforma en pasión. Fue una temporada hermosa, criticada por algunos precisamente por su protagonista, que no es una de las típicas actrices delgadas y demacradas. Penélope es una mujer con curvas, finalmente apartada de los roles habituales de la amiga con curvas, simpática pero sexualmente poco atractiva.

Penélope es un personaje que derrocha y crea una gran sensualidad, rompiendo con los clichés habituales sobre las personas con curvas, convirtiéndose en la estrella indiscutible de la temporada: bella, inteligente y sensual. Algunos la calificaron de valiente por aparecer semidesnuda, y ella respondió con la misma moneda, diciendo que no era valentía; era simplemente amar y aceptar el propio cuerpo, porque incluso un cuerpo que va más allá de los cánones de belleza que exigen que todos sean delgados es un cuerpo bello y sensual. Una temporada que me gustó mucho, mucho más que la segunda temporada, si aún no la habéis visto compensadlo y apreciaréis mucho el personaje de Penélope!

Bonjour les cinéphiles,

Cette série américaine, composée de 8 épisodes, est disponible sur Netflix depuis le 20 mars 2025.

Elle se classe dans la catégorie drame policier et est inspirée du livre "The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House", écrit par Kate Andersen Brower.

Cette série est produite par Shondaland (Shonda Rhimes), qui a également produit Inventing Anna dont je vous ai parlé récemment, mais aussi La Chronique des Bridgerton, Scandal, Private Practice, etc.

Source Affiche de la série

Synopsis :

L'histoire se déroule dans les coulisses de la Maison-Blanche, car, ici, le Président des Etats-Unis et sa famille sont des personnages secondaires. Ce soir, un dîner d'Etat a lieu avec une délégation australienne et quelques personnalités du showbiz, telles que Hugh Jackman et Kylie Minogue (Kylie Minogue).

Le personnel est en ébullition, les avis divergent, même quand les invités sont en train de s'installer à table et qu'on leur demande de changer de place en dernière minute, parce que le plan de table vient de changer à l'instant.

A.B. Wynter (Giancarlo Esposito), huissier en chef de la Maison-Blanche, est appelé au 3e étage, par le frère du Président, Tripp Morgan (Jason Lee). Peu de temps après, A.B. Wynter est retrouvé, au 3e étage, dans la salle de jeux, allongé au sol, à côté du billard, mort.

La détective Cordelia Cupp (Uzo Aduba), réputée pour résoudre les enquêtes insolubles, est appelée pour faire la lumière sur cette affaire, tout en perturbant le moins possible le dîner d'Etat.

Mon avis et petites infos :

J'ai beaucoup aimé. C'est rondement mené. Certes, il faut suivre, car tout détail pourrait s'avérer crucial pour la résolution de l'enquête.

Si vous aimez le style Agatha Christie et les films/séries inspirées de ce style, tels que "A couteaux tirés" ou "Glass Onion", vous allez bien apprécier cette série également.

Pour ce qui est du casting, aux acteurs précités, je peux ajouter : Randall Park (Edwin Park, agent du FBI) vu dans Aquaman dont je vous ai parlé tout récemment, Ken Marino (Harry Hollinger, conseiller en chef du Président), Julian MacMahon (Stephen Roos, premier Ministre d'Australie), etc.

Les 4 premiers épisodes de la série ont été tournés en 2022, avec André Braugher dans le rôle du huissier en chef. Le tournage a été interrompu par les soucis à Hollywood (grève des scénaristes, notamment) en 2023. Le 11 décembre 2023, André Braugher est décédé. En février 2024, la production de la série a repris avec Giancarlo Esposito dans le rôle du huissier en chef. André Braugher n'apparaît pas du tout dans la série, toutes ses apparitions ont été remplacées.

Je vous conseille vivement cette série, pleine de rebondissements et de surprises.

L'avez-vous vue, l'avez-vous appréciée ?

A bientôt, bonnes soirées-tv à tous,

Florence

Good literature rarely translates successfully into film. This challenge becomes even more pronounced within Croatian cinema. Such failures may stem from issues specific to the Croatian film industry or societal context, or from nuances lost in the transition from page to screen – no unintended wordplay implied. A prime example is Ivan Salaj’s 2018 film The Eighth Commissioner.

The film adapts Renato Baretić’s eponymous 2003 novel, widely celebrated as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, works of 21st-century Croatian literature. Its protagonist, Siniša Mesjak (played by Frano Mašković), is a young, ambitious, and successful politician being groomed as Zagreb’s next mayor. His career implodes after he is caught in a sordid sex and drugs scandal, prompting the Prime Minister (Stojan Matavulj) to dispatch him as far from the spotlight as possible. His destination is Trećić, an isolated Adriatic island whose inhabitants have failed to establish a local government in accordance with Croatian law. Mesjak is appointed commissioner to administer local affairs and organise the first elections. Even before arriving, he senses something amiss: seven predecessors have already failed in this task. The island lacks mobile signal and internet connectivity, while the locals speak an incomprehensible dialect. Mesjak finds crucial assistance in Tonino Smeraldić (Borko Perić), a kind-hearted epileptic youth who acts as his translator, guide, and assistant. Gradually, the commissioner uncovers the island’s secrets, wins the islanders’ trust, and, in the process, develops a genuine fondness for the place.

Two key elements that propelled the novel’s success – sharp political satire and intricate linguistic play – likely hold limited resonance for non-Croatian audiences. Within Croatia itself, however, the film faces additional hurdles: its plot and character dynamics feel increasingly disconnected from contemporary economic and political realities, which have shifted significantly since the novel’s 2003 publication. The film’s blend of comedy and drama appears to draw inspiration from Northern Exposure, particularly in its depiction of a charming, insulated community populated by a series of endearing, quirky characters, both locals and outsiders. Regrettably, if Salaj indeed aimed to create a Croatian counterpart to this beloved television series, the execution falls short.

The acting is generally competent, with Perić demonstrating particular talent for comedy. Mašković, cast as the straight man in this comedic dynamic, lacks both chemistry with his co-stars and, more critically, the fundamental charisma required to elicit audience sympathy for his character – a disgraced politician, arguably the most despised profession in modern Croatia. However, the more significant flaws lie in the film’s structure and pacing. Salaj attempts to cram excessive material into the runtime, including intriguing but ultimately disruptive experiments with magic realism (notably featuring the first Aboriginal Australian character in Croatian cinema). These additions contribute to an unwieldy 139-minute duration – exceptionally long by Croatian feature film standards. Many scenes, especially in the first half, feel painfully overlong or superfluous. It is highly probable that The Eighth Commissioner would have functioned far more effectively as a miniseries rather than a single feature film. While the production possesses occasional bright spots, they prove insufficient to offset its fundamental weaknesses or prevent it from becoming one colossal missed opportunity.

RATING: 5/10 (++)

The Alien franchise has travelled far and wide, but it's finally back! After many attempts to get a franchise going, Alien has really suffered with some truly boring entries. Some films being absolutely terrible, lackluster and just recycling the same nonsense. Though the previous film, while I don't remember a whole lot about it, was one of the good ones. A refreshing take on the story without really doing much different. Though snippets of the film explored something new to the franchise: the off-world colonies. The life beyond the ships that end up being slaughtered by an alien species. I found this aspect to be the most interesting part of the film. Giving us a glimpse at the universe out there that the others had not. And I remember thinking that it would be great to see more of that. Well, here we are! With Alien: Earth. A television series which still sort of remains stuck around the alien, but is finally taking us into different locations and exploring the progress of humanity within the universe.

To match the previous film, Alien: Earth takes the budget to new highs. And it really shows here in the episodes released so far. This is where the Alien franchise can really shine, where the rich science-fiction goodness of the universe the stories unfold within can really be displayed. People often would say that the designs of the original Alien film were unmatched. And that was true given the additional films would make significant changes in the wrong direction. Though with today's budgets and styles, I found the episodes to be incredibly beautiful. A very nice cyberpunk look to everything with the addition of anamorphic looking lenses. This style definitely allows for things to stand out a bit more and seem more out of this world, compared to regular lenses which wouldn't offer the same characteristics: lights are not just circular, instead they're oval. A shallow depth of field makes things look a bit more dreamy. And this also comes with a more filmic look which makes things look softer and darker. With different environments and locations, the story feels much larger, something with lots of little details to admire. It adds more weight to the moments of action that do appear as we aren't constantly following people aboard a ship. Instead we see the contrast between the low life aspects of civilisation and the developments of society that have formed careless and odd elites. This was very quickly addressed in the previous film regarding corporations and off-world colonies. But here we see the attempts made from trillionaires to expand upon humanity's abilities, to create the androids of their dreams that have human consciousnesses but aren't limited to the weaknesses of a human body. We've seen plenty of times in previous films how androids end up betraying the survivors, how they are sworn to the interests of corporations above all, though we never really saw the foundations of that, and here we are starting to. Down to the ways in which corporations of massive scales interact and fight each other.

And this is of course mixed with the personal drama of its characters introduced. Giving more depth to the characters given the television series will keep them around for a while, perhaps the entire series. Still, some are written with brief development just to write them out again, and that's fine. But the show so far really is taking advantage of its ability to pace itself and display reasons to care for its characters. Showing the situation they're getting caught up in and how the schemes of others are leading them into horrors beyond their imagination. Currently there are three episodes out, on a weekly release schedule. But it's well worth jumping into if you're looking for something to scratch that more serious science-fiction itch, or if you're an unfortunate fan of the Alien franchise.

Just Add Magic is an exciting magical mystery kids series, if you were a Nickelodeon child, series like this should not be new to you. The series was adapted from a 2010 middle-grade fantasy novel of the same name by Cindy Callaghan. It follows three friends; Kelly, Hannah and Darbie, who finds a old cookbook with weird recipes and spices they've never heard.

I've always loved magical shows, shows that are mystical with a tinge of mystery. It's a show from my childhood, it aired on Nickelodeon at a particular time and I was not privileged enough to watch it without being disturbed,so I did what anyone with a lot of time on their hands would do, I binged the whole 3 season under 24 hours.

Just add magic was so easy to follow, I would even say that it was addictive, as exciting events would pop up one after the other. There was no dull moment, there's always a new mystery to solve, the series is quite engaging for both adults and kids. The girls try to solve mystery that comes with finding this cookbook, like why Kelly's grandmother can't talk or why Miss Silvers stop playing in public, who is Chuck and why does the three friends; Kelly's grandmother, Miss Silvers and Mama P no longer talk to each other, as they try to find answers to this question they try to balance school, family, hobbies and their friendship around the Magic. The series evoke critical thinking, as the girls try to crack the riddles that come with the recipes.The magic is not free, each spice has its own drawback, some of the recipes are more powerful than you think and would demand something of value in return.

The production team really brought the story to life with the enchanted cozy cinematic feel. They made the magic real with the props that made you feel like you are in a mythical world; magical props, mythical ingredients and even Kelly's kitchen, were it was necessary and brought back to a modern feel when the magic was hidden. The kid actors; Olivia Sanabia (Kelly), Abby Donnelly (Hannah), Aubrey K. Miller (Darbie) gave a stellar performance and really told the story well though their acting, other actors like Judah Bellamy(Jake), Amy Hill (Mama P), Ellen Karsten (Ms. Silvers) Dee Wallace (Becky) did a get job on their roles as their characters brought dimension to the show.

Like all good things, it comes to an end at season 3 but the magic continues in the spin off; Just Add Magic: mystery city. Just Add Magic is a family friendly series that you form bonds over. It is suspenseful, thoughtful and evoke empathy, friendship and feeling of responsibility wrapped in magic. Perfect for families, kids and lover of mystery like me.
