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.

Finally, the long awaited seventh season begins and we find our lovable couple in the midst of the second trimester. I’m extremely happy to have Bones back each week to salivate over Booth, ooh and ahh over the relationship between the adorable couple, and to dive head first into more interesting cases.

Ghostly Obsession Blog – 1st Paranormal Investigation (Westwood & Downey Cemeteries, Linda Vista Hospital)

Ghostly Obsession Blog - 1st Paranormal Investigation (Westwood & Downey Cemeteries, Linda Vista Hospital) 4

For our first investigation, we visit three locations in Los Angeles: Westwood Cemetery, Linda Vista Hospital, and Downey Cemetery. Although we didn’t encounter any good or bad entities, it was a very interesting night to say the least. Not all investigations are going to result in evidence of the paranormal but this small investigation has only ignited the bright spark within me; now the slow burning flame of curiosity is anxious to discover more to feed my Ghostly Obsession.

Review: American Horror Story "Halloween Pt. 1" ("trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat") 5

You aren’t sure who or what is real anymore. We begin in the year 2010 meeting our two most recent tenants of the house, Chad (guest star Zachary Quinto) and his lover Patrick (Teddy Sears). The once thought murder-suicide of the beloved gay couple turns out to be murder-murder when Pat walks in and finds the latex man with his hands full of dead Chad. The latex man keeps popping up throughout the episode and it’s really creepy! It’s apparent he is another victim of the house but who is this masked intruder? I have a theory on that…but will save it for later.

Review: Once Upon A Time....Enchanting and Intriguing (@OnceABC) 6

I wasn’t sure what to expect after seeing a few of the billboards and the trailers for the show, but overall I enjoyed it immensely. I’m a huge fan of fairytales like Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, etc. I love the fantastical elements of being transported to a faraway world of enchanted forests full of magic and wonder. ABC spares no expense in providing the special effects to give us the allure of the darkness spreading over Snow White and Prince Charming’s happily ever after.

Movie Review: MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE (A wanna-be pyschological thriller)

Movie Review: MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE (A wanna-be pyschological thriller) 7

Being pegged as a taut psychological thriller, Martha Marcy May Marlene does have moments of suspense and psychological intrigue but I won’t go so far as to say it’s a thriller. It is dramatic, for certain, but I definitely was not sitting on pins and needles throughout the film, which to me, is a hallmark of a good thriller. I will say Elizabeth (Lizzie) Olsen’s performance is truly outstanding considering her lack of experience in any mainstream films.

Review: American Horror Story “Murder House” (…like lambs to the slaughter)

Review: American Horror Story "Murder House" (...like lambs to the slaughter) 8

“Murder House” is where the Harmons live, but it’s not where they want to be. While Vivien desperately tries to get the house back on the market as quickly as possible, they have no choice but to stay. Of course, Violet threatening to run away if they sell the house throws a monkey-wrench in the situation. She claims the house has “soul” but I think she means the trapped souls (like Moira)! There has been so much death and macabre deeds done in the house that if it does have a soul, it’s in pain – suffering an unimaginable, unending turmoil.

#SOA Review: Sons of Anarchy “Fruit for the Crows” – Death threats, tempers flaring, and “strange fruit hanging” in trees

#SOA Review: Sons of Anarchy "Fruit for the Crows" - Death threats, tempers flaring, and "strange fruit hanging" in trees 9

“Fruit for the Crows” is intense, and wrought with some raw and heated emotions. Full of action, drama, intensity, and plot twists which may lead to something much more deadly for SAMCRO. Alavarez (Emilio Rivera) takes a bullet while Gemma (Katey Sagal) finds the death-threat in Tara’s (Maggie Siff) car. Bobby (Mark Boone Junior) challenges Clay and calls a vote for a new president and Juice (Theo Rossi) is at this rope’s end…literally.

Editorial: Would you forgive a racist? Why Robert Downey, Jr. Pleas For Mel Gibson 12

Should Hollywood forgive a racist? In my opinion, racism is horrible and in the end, we all bleed the same color no matter your race, gender, or religious beliefs. I have seen the ignorance of racism seep into the souls of good people and poison them forever against something they don’t know or understand.

#Supernatural, "Defending Your Life" - Guilty Conscience? Call 1-800-Osiris, The Egyptian God/Judge, Jury, Executioner 13

Osiris (guest star Faran Tahir) comes to the 21st century seeking out the guilty to dispense his Egyptian brand of justice. I’m enjoying Supernatural so much again! They are getting back to hunting and taking cases…at least until they can figure out the Leviathan situation.

Movie Review: 'Father of Invention' Starring Kevin Spacey & Craig Robinson (Fabricating and "Tap That Ass") 14

Father of Invention is charming, entertaining, and absolutely hilarious! Spacey does a brilliant job of playing a down trodden, yet arrogant man. Surprised at how much I laughed throughout the film. Robinson is fantastic as Jerry! The song Robinson and Madsen perform at the end titled “Tap That Ass” still has me laughing my ass off.

Murder, ghosts, and things that go bump in the night! REVIEW: American Horror Story "Home Invasion" #ahsfx 16

Murder, ghosts, and things that go bump in the night. “Home Invasion” isn’t for the squeamish or faint of heart. ‘American Horror Story’ continues to challenge conventional storytelling in television. It’s an awesome, dark, edgy, creepy, decadent, and deeply engrossing series! I cannot take my eyes off the screen and I turn up the volume to hear every creak on the wooden floor!

Russian Roulette; Charming, CA ain't Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. REVIEW: Sons of Anarchy "With an X" #SAMCRO #SOAFX 17

YES! Now we’re getting back to why I fell in love with Sons of Anarchy – cutthroat, ruthless backstabbing and downright devious underhanded deeds. This is a show about the seedy lives of biker gangs/clubs not Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. I don’t give a rat’s ass about their softer side. Russian Roulette with the Prospects; Daddy Tig plays the sucker; and Clay orders a hit on the good doctor. “With an X” heats things up!

Eating brains, watching telenovelas, and human cheese-flavored snacks? Review: #Supernatural "The Girl Next Door" 19

Who knew Dean and Bobby liked telenovelas? And I’m not sure what grosses me out more – the “kitsunai” who eat human brains to survive or a Leviathan (Sean Owen Roberts) who like people smothered in cheese sauce? “Do you know what I find…plain ole people taste fine but everything is better with cheese.”

Movie Review: REAL STEEL - Suprisingly endearing and entertaining! It has heart, action, & comedy 21

Forget what you think this movie is about. Yes, there are robots and yes, there is boxing. But it’s not rock’em-sock’em robots. It is so much more than that. “Real Steel” is surprisingly endearing and entertaining. It has heart, action, comedy, and drama. The wonderful part about Real Steel is that the robots are real! Yes, real robots!

"Excuse me, you are going to die in there." Review: American Horror Story "Pilot" - I LOVE #AHSFX 22

“What are you so afraid of?” This recurring question is asked throughout the pilot episode and begs to be answered honestly…if you dare. American Horror Story is a new kind of unconventional drama series that is entertainingly disturbing. Dark and edgy, this is a drama for those unafraid to explore their inner deviants *wicked grin*.

Review: Sons of Anarchy "Brick" (Sex, Lies, and Cocaine) #SOAFX 23

Is Juice (Theo Rossi) out of his damn mind? He knows what happens to ‘rats’ and if he gets caught talking to Sheriff Roosevelt (Rockmond Dunbar), it ain’t gonna be pretty. Juice is so scared of what the MC will do if they find out he’s black; he’s willing to jeopardize his life by stealing a brick of cocaine from the cartel’s shipment to appease Roosevelt.
