Me Before You

I believe this movie gets a bad rap because of it's very controversial stance on ending life. Many people object morally to the notion that a quadriplegic person could and should have the right to end their life. I get that, I do, and, as a mental health professional, I would want to do everything I could to help change this character's mind. However, as a mental health professional, I also know that, if someone is determined to end their life, there really isn't anything you can do about it, and I would want it to happen in as kind and loving a manner as possible. I think the characters in this film were well scripted, the acting was lovely, and the direction solid. It's a tough movie on some levels, but I enjoyed it all the same. 3.5/5

Terminator: Genisys

Let's get this straight. I'm a Terminator fan. I grew up on The Terminator. T2 was a total game-changer for me. This franchise is a large part of why I'm a sci-fi geek. And I *HATED* "Terminator: Salvation" so bloody much that I thought there would be no coming back from that. I was wrong. This movie is everything I could have wanted in a Terminator sequel. I saw a lot of people reviewing it at Netflix had problems following it, but if you're a true Terminator fan it will all make perfect sense. I honestly didn't find a single flaw in the logic or a hole in the plot. Everything I could have wanted to see was there, every reference, every location, every line of dialogue. I'm so happy and excited right now - I feel ten again. Thank you Alan Taylor for making this film. You made this fangirl very happy tonight. 5/5
