Lifetime Movie: <i>Mother, May I Sleep with Danger?</i> Advance Review. Erotic Horror or Campy Cliché? 11

When I learned the 1996 Lifetime movie Mother, May I Sleep with Danger? (MMISWD) was getting a reboot, I didn’t understand why because despite its somewhat debatable cult status, MMISWD is the standard, cautionary love story Lifetime is known for in its programming, emblematic of its brand of storytelling. Then I learned James Franco is one of the executive producers and it began to make sense.

Penny Dreadful –”No Beast So Fierce” Review. Formidable Match

<i>Penny Dreadful</i> –"No Beast So Fierce" Review. Formidable Match 18

With only two episodes remaining until the season three finale, the season is flying by too quickly for my liking. So much is embedded in each episode; it’s daunting as a fan to piece each of the story arcs together. Although more attention is paid to Vanessa (Eva Green) and Ethan (Josh Hartnett), there are some strange things lurking within the other plot points, particularly in Dorian (Reeve Carney) and Lily’s (Billie Piper) twisted tale. As “No Beast So Fierce” progresses, so do the various storylines. If you are at all squeamish, be warned, there is much bloodshed in “No Beast So Fierce.”
