The Pliley Review

  Genre: Family, Musical, Adventure Rating:   PG Synopsis: When a powerful spell turns her parents into giant monsters, a teenage princess must journey into the wild to reverse the curse before it's too late. *** Watch out Disney I think Netflix is coming for you! It is hard to say much without giving away the story, however, I am happy to say that this is not your typical princess story and the twist-like ending is just perfection.  The animation is just gorgeous and the songs are catchy enough to keep your interest. The voice actors did a great job embodying their characters and bringing them to life. Special shout-out has to go to Rachel Zegler as Princess Ellian and John Lithgow as Bolinar who really brought out all the emotions through their journey.  This movie has all the makings of an adventure movie that kids and adults alike will love. Final Thoughts Interesting take on an animated princess movie and I’m here for it.  Score: 8 out of 10. Great family...

                                                         Genre:   Romantic, Comedy Rating:   TV-14  Synopsis: Ten years after a botched proposal, two star-crossed exes must spend Christmas together after discovering their partners are siblings . *** The first movie I’ve seen with Lindsy Lohan since her return and I had high hopes.  The narration at the beginning providing some backstory was a little weird and felt out of place, especially given the person chosen so honestly I was nervous.  But wow, the said ‘botched’ proposal brought me into the story with a bang of both hilarity and heartbreak.  The cast did a great job and brought their characters to life. Each one felt very real and you started rooting for them as individuals even before the romance portion played a factor. Lindsey ...

                                                              Season Two Genre:  Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi, Dinosaur Action Rating:   TV-Y7 Synopsis:   With so many questions still not answered Darius and friends follow the clues to find out what exactly is going on while facing new dangers, finding new friends - and discovering surprising revelations. *** It is so hard to discuss without spoilers but WOW. Another 10 episodes but more than one seemed like filler. Honestly, I was super disappointed with this season. The main cast of voice actors still did an incredible job so I think the writers dropped the ball on this one.  It was already precarious with the 1st season as there were already theories with alternative agendas and villains behind the villains. So going into se...

                                                    Season One Genre:  Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi, Dinosaur Action Rating:   TV-Y7 Synopsis:   Years after escaping the dangers of Isla Nublar, Darius and friends are living among dinosaurs again - all while processing a devastating loss.  *** I love Camp Creatous so I was excited to know what happened to the Nublar 6. This was not what I had in mind and I am not sure how I feel about it.  There are a total of 10 Episodes each running around 24 minutes each. I found this to be a good balance, yet with more detailed storytelling it could have been extended but I see they wanted to keep the same pace.  Each of the characters brought new life to their roles showing the maturity of the years that have passed since we last saw them. I was disappointed that th...

  Genre:  Science Fiction, Horror, Drama Rating:  TV MA Synopsis:  Fourteen years after a deadly virus caused a global apocalypse, Jade Wesker fights for survival in a world overrun by infected creatures while being haunted by her past, her father, and what happened to her sister, Billie. Before I begin I want to make it clear that I really wanted this show to be amazing. I'm a huge fan of the games and the movies.  This show started off really well. Lots of tension, little bits of story, and already a mazing creatures. Sadly as it progressed it was so much back and forward in time that it was very confusing at times. There were also some things that did not make sense in either of the timelines. The writing also did not make sense and it did not improve as the show continued like I hoped it would.  Unfortunately, my husband and I watched this on Netflix under the 4k option and it was really bad quality. Definitely not 4k.  The actors all did amazing w...
