Review: Tyler Perry’s "Beauty in Black" on Netflix

If you’re looking for a series full of plot twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat, Beauty in Black is it. The story follows two women who find themselves trapped in a world of manipulation and danger.

The Plot

The narrative centers on two women essentially held hostage by a high-stakes pimp and a fixer named Jules. While the women are just trying to make a living, they find themselves stripped of their agency and constantly threatened with jail time. Jules uses false allegations to keep them under his thumb, ensuring they stay trapped in his cycle.

The Power of Jules

Jules is the ultimate "go-to" guy for the elite; he’s a master at getting people off the hook by paying off police and doing the "dirty work" no one else will touch. Because of his reach and what he’s capable of, he is widely feared. He treats the women's lives as collateral, forcing them to work for him indefinitely to pay off manufactured debts.

Why You Should Watch

While the show is undeniably good, it is heavy and a lot to take in emotionally. One of the highlights is the use of flashbacks, which give us a deep dive into Kimmie’s past. These scenes provide essential context on her history and how she formed her ride-or-die friendship with Rain.

There are two seasons of this on Netflix if this is your kind of show then I would watch it.

Red Notice Movie Netflix

 This movie is good. It is about an art theif teaming up with a a theif pertraying to be an FBI agent telling where the eggs are. There are three eggs throughout different areas that people have and the theif pretty much knows exactly where they are since he is an art theif after all. 

However there is a plot twist where there is a lady named the bishop who is also a master art theif and the two are competing for the number one stop and the fbi agent is trying to take down the bishop. This movie is really good with plots and twists in it. 

The guy pertraying the FBI pretty much works with the bishop because he is also the bishop too and he pretty much used the art theif to know the locations of the eggs and played it against him. This movie is good. 

Movies and TV shows while recovering

 Due to my surgery and healing, I had time to watch some movies and series. 

I found a handful of series and movies that I liked and a handful that I did not like. 

I also got to rewatch some old shows and other things that peeked my interest. I am adding more to it as I go.

K pop Demon Hunter Netflix

 This movie is really catchy and popular and I see why. This was a good movie. It is about three girls using the power of music to protect and shield the town and city they live in by singing songs and making music until one day the shields break just enough for demons to come through and then the demons creates a band and ends up making music to tear down the shields while the girls are making music to try to protect it. 

Their songs attracts people in the wrong way and each time they sing or hum the song or beat then their souls get eaten but when they sing the girls songs the shield gets stronger and they become safe.

One of the girls Rumi has a secret she has been hiding and no one really knows about it except her adopted mom. Rumi then gets very sick and has to stop making music for a while. She then also looses motivation in making music and nothing sounds right with her and it just over all isn't good but eventually she gets the motivations from one of the demon guys and they help boost her back and she gets motivation again and helps create music and save everyone from the demons.

yu yu hakusho Live action

 Let me just say there are similarities and differences in the Yu Yu Hakusho anime. This this only a 5 episode series on Netflix and honestly it is different then the manga and 112 episode anime.

 I like it but there are some twists in there and a few things a different in which I understand because it will be the same as the anime. Yusuke dies then he ends up getting a second chance by being a detective in the spirit world and saving the human world.

To me, the Netflix live action moves quick and does not spread everything out into episodes. A lot of it happens in one. 

Yes, he dies by a car from saving the kid however after he dies, things move fast. Yes he was bullying people and fighting his bullies but it is a different twist in a way it does not show everything the anime does. 

Yusuke does come back but it is quicker then expected all in episode one just to save Keiko from the fire but he he has to work for the spirit realm that was the only way he came back. So there are a lot of similarities. 

We started to watch the anime because my husband has never seen it but after the beginning we decided to watch the live action because it pretty much explained what happened because I was not sure it would show in the live action but it does.

To me it is good and I actually like it but everyone has their own opinion.

The Rip movie review

 

Let me just say there are so many suspected plots in this movie and it twists them all up. This movie starts off confusing but it gets better.

 In this movie there is a bad cop working with good cops and we all know how that goes.

They are trying to figure out who killed one of their members and a lot of things happen. However they go on a case and bad things starts happening around the house with mysterious phone calls and warnings.

 If you ever seen or read James Patterson Detective Cross then you pretty much know what happens but this one is much twisted. This movie is on Netflix if you want to watch it. I enjoyed it. 

Leave the world behind: Movie review

 Leave the world behind is such an eventful movie. A few of the things that happened in the movie could happen now and it is important to note the events and be prepared for just in cause scenarios because with the world going on right now we do not know what to expect. This movie was a weird movie to be honest. This movie is not even complete. 

You do not know what is going to happen at the end because it is cut off like there is a second part but it is just a cliff hanger. This movie to me was good at the beginning but once it kept going it was just a mess. The beginning also did not tell you anything that was going on. Everything just happened so it made it a little difficult to understand. 

It is an apocalyptic style movie with multiple series of events. In which throughout the movie you learn that it is better to be over prepared for this rather than not prepare at all because you never know what you are going to need besides an underground bunker, food, supplies, first aid kit, and medications.

First it was a cyber attack that then made transportation crash everywhere such as planes, and ships and cars. The radio and communications did not work due to something taking out the satellites along with taking out the power grid and causing power failure. There was also a loud window cracking screech that was echoing through the sky that could cause all kinds of issues such as a person becoming deaf, dumb and paralyzed in which it drove the deer and made the animals go crazy and then the little girl goes missing and the mother doesn't even bother going to search for her at the end. It just moves cameras to the little girl and then it cuts off leaving us hanging like what is this. 

What was the purpose? This movie was good and then it went everywhere. I wish at the beginning it would have explained and given a little insight instead of the ship just boarding the seashore and then everyone running. I would have also loved it if it did not end the way it did.
