Dream chaser extraordinaire! Judy tends to be a tad sarcastic and kind of goofy! She is an avid admirer of all things supernatural, paranormal, celestial and mystical. She loves to read, write, and watches way too much TV. She enjoys many genres of film and music (and let's be honest, most music from the 80s). She also has a wicked sweet tooth. Cupcakes beware.

Advance Review: Lost Girl, “It’s a Fae, Fae, Fae World” (“…like the 4th of July in my mouth!”) #LostGirl @Syfy

Advance Review: Lost Girl, "It's a Fae, Fae, Fae World" ("...like the 4th of July in my mouth!") #LostGirl @Syfy 4

Lost Girl has me spellbound! It’s sexy, engaging, funny, and absolutely entertaining; with fresh characters we don’t see much of on television. Lost Girl is about a young woman named Bo (Anna Silk). Bo is a tall, dark haired, sexy loner with a killer kiss. She doesn’t know it yet, but she is part of an ancient race of supernatural beings known as the Fae and she is a Succubus who feeds off sexual energy. Lost Girl is a colorful mix of supernatural drama, light and dark comedy, with a little sex appeal to spice up your Monday nights!

Review: American Horror Story "Afterbirth" (What. The. F**k? Why is everyone dead?) #ahsfx 6

Bewildered would best describe my current mental state with regards to the season finale of one of the most intriguing and diverse new shows on television. American Horror Story crosses into perplexing and often times controversial territory with its writing and story arcs, but after taunting us with so much potential of what could have happened with Vivien’s (Connie Britton) unique fraternal twins, I feel a little cheated with “Afterbirth.”

Review: American Horror Story - "Birth" (Has evil incarnate finally been born?) #ahsfx 7

Seems everyone is vying for Viven’s twins. Even “the gays” want in on the action. But if Grandma Constance (Jessica Lange) has anything to do with it, “the fairies,” Chad (guest star Zachary Quinto) and Patrick (guest star Teddy Sears) won’t stand a chance. Who wants the child the most? Is it the house? Nora? Constance? Does the child represent evil incarnate?

Review: American Horror Story "Smoldering Children" (Dead is better? Enduring is such sweet sorrow) #ahsfx 8

Wow! Wow! Wow! I did not see this turn of events coming…well, at least not in this particular way. Tate seems truly in love with Violet; he’s willing to go to great lengths to protect her even if it means hurting her father Ben (Dylan McDermott. “Smoldering Children” also introduces us to the ghosts of Larry’s (Denis O’Hare) wife and children who are literally still smoldering with fiery embers. The special effects are nothing short of brilliant.

Review: #Haven Christmas Episode "Silent Night" (Christmas in July? Audrey must find out the source of the trouble before Haven vanishes) 10

It’s a bright, sunny day in July – a perfect time to deck the halls and decorate the Christmas tree…right? It seems everyone, except Audrey (Emily Rose) believes its Christmas Eve, but if you’re a fan of the show, you know Audrey isn’t affected by the “troubles” that afflict most of the town and its citizens.

Advance Review: #Warehouse13 Christmas Episode "The Greatest Gift" (It's a not-so wonderful life for Pete) 11

I really love Warehouse 13! The show is quirky, creative, a little cheesy, and definitely funny. But what fascinates me the most are the intriguing artifacts stored within the warehouse. Using iconic and historical people and iconic characters, whether it’s Van Doren Stern’s brush sweeping Pete out of existence or Rudolph’s nose guiding Santa’s sleigh into chaos, the way the writers incorporate various objects into the storylines is quite inventive.

Advance Review: Eureka Christmas Episode "Do You See What I See?" (Sninjas invade Eureka!) 12

The quaint town of geniuses is transformed into animated versions of themselves. Sheriff Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson) and Allison Blake (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) are secretly planning the perfect holiday surprise for their kids. But a mysterious kaleidoscopic wave of color crashes over Eureka, leaving the entire town and its inhabitants animated. “Do You See What I See” is absolutely fun and will be a new holiday classic! It’s got heart, action, laughs, and Sninjas!!

Review: #AHSFX American Horror Story "Spooky Little Girl" (Becoming famous isn't all it's cracked up to be) 13

What is most captivating about “Spooky Little Girl” is the enigmatic Constance (Jessica Lange). Lange is absolutely brilliant as Constance and steals every scene she’s in with her compelling portrayal of a woman desperate for redemption and second chances. From the delivery of her lines to her flawless execution of emotions, both verbally and physically, I am helplessly drawn into her story, watching in complete awe as she commands the screen.

Review: Bones "The Male in the Mail" (Signed, Sealed, & Dismembered!) 14

“The Male in the Mail” begins in a very (gulp) gross way. When mail goes unclaimed, it ends up in the “dead letter office” where employees open the packages and either trash or repurpose the items. But upon discovering the dismembered remains of an employee of a local “Ship-n-Print”… well, some things just can’t be repurposed.

Review: American Horror Story "Rubber Man" (Latex Baby Daddy revealed?) #ahsfx 15

““Rubber Man” answers a few questions but then leaves me with more. It also focuses on Vivien’s (Connie Britton) delicate sanity. With Ben’s (Dylan McDermott) former mistress Hayden (Kate Mara) lurking about, things continue to go from crazy to psychotic! And who is the real father of Vivien’s twins? And what supernatural powers does the house possess?

Movie Review: Butter (Jennifer Garner, Ty Burrell, Olivia Wilde) Who knew butter carving was so cutthroat?

Movie Review: Butter (Jennifer Garner, Ty Burrell, Olivia Wilde) Who knew butter carving was so cutthroat? 16

‘Butter’ is a refreshingly realistic comedy about the way some people think of others, the highly competitive world of butter carving, and life in general. ‘Butter’ is a slightly dark, sarcastic, sexually charged, and hysterically funny comedy focusing on one woman’s desperate desire to stay on top of the social ladder and a child’s struggle to fit into a town where color stands out.

Review: #Bones "The Prince in the Plastic" (Murder, Vintage Dolls, & Chinese Instructions) 17

A young woman, Debbie Cortez (uncredited), is found Saran® wrapped and her remains are liquefied. While I don’t recommend eating any pudding or mushy foods while watching the first ten minutes of the episode, it’s quite unique how the writers come up with varying ways of decomposing human remains and how best to work with them in the lab. The fact that they use a soup ladle to scoop up the human goo (if you will) is both stomach- churning as it is fascinating.

Recap/Review: #Supernatural "Time for a Wedding" (Is that a Wiccan in your pocket or are you just happy to marry me?) 18

Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) go on their “annual pilgrimage to Vegas” and what happens in Vegas doesn’t technically stay in Vegas…Sam gets married and moves to Delaware! “Time for a Wedding” is full of laughs and sarcasm but it wouldn’t be Supernatural without some gruesome incidents occurring. The crossroads demon is circumventing a loop hole to cash in the 10 year contracts a bit earlier than his victims intended.

“Cassie and Jake look into her father’s side of the family, hoping to discover more about her lineage and why she has powers separate from the Circle. Meanwhile, Adam becomes protective of Cassie when Faye reveals that Jake might be hiding something dangerous from them. At the same time, Adam’s equally concerned when Melissa’s cousin Holden comes to town and catches Diana’s eye. A power shift forms between Charles and Dawn that threatens to destroy their plan.” ~ The CW

Review: #Bones "The Hot Dog in the Competition" (Let the Gluttony Games begin!) @BonesonFox @FoxEnt 20

A young woman is found half-eaten in her terrarium with her pet python slithering around inside her decaying intestines – it’s enough to make anyone vomit, and I nearly did. But, I complained about last week’s uninteresting murder case. Although this one has a more unique back story, it still isn’t as enticing as the new intern Finn’s (guest star Luke Kleintank) past!

Review: American Horror Story "Piggy Piggy" #ahsfx (Urban legends and dark secrets lurk) 21

1994 – After going on an unexplained shooting rampage at Westfield High School, Tate (Evan Peters) waits in his room as SWAT storms in. And so begins “Piggy Piggy.” American Horror Story continues to challenge conventional television, pushing the envelope with darker writing and imagery than we’ve seen in many moons. I love the acting, the set design, the direction, and the mystery of it all. Wednesdays are fast becoming my favorite day of the week!

“Beneath” – A road trip for the circle takes a horrible turn — After not hearing from her grandmother for a couple of days, Cassie becomes concerned and wants to go look for her. Diana decides the entire Circle should go in case Jane is in trouble. She also invites Jake along, much to Adam’s dismay. A storm turns the day trip into an overnight excursion, so Faye suggests a little game of Truth or Dare to liven up the evening. However, things take a horrible turn when Faye is forced to reckon with someone from her past.
