Madison Bailey needs to work REALLY hard on her facial expressions. This is one of her very first scores yet I have no idea whatsoever how she landed on main role- honestly, the girl has the same charism as the cabbage sitting in my fridge right now. Poorly casted, lacks enthusiasm and unfortunately that's the way I went along while watching most of the movie, specially the scenes she's in which makes almost 90% of it. It's a fun one though with the easiest plot ever written for TV/Netflix about time-travel, which makes it really fun to watch and if I am to be sincere there're fewer plot holes in the script if compared to your average teen flick. I love the 2000s nostalgia but yeah, Madison is the number one reason why I almost gave up on watching at least 20x. I hope she can learn from the experience though and that she had fun, but then again...

Kim is fine. She's not an actress, yet she was invited by the series creators to participate in this season, and she clearly prepared herself A LOT for the role. She's somewhat relatable and she's convincing! Matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised if she inspired herself in a real life Hollywood PRs or any celebs she likely knows personally, the ones we insist to adore but have no idea how toxic they can be in person. I don't think she's great but I firmly believe people have to stop hating on her just for the sake of... hating on her. The episode was good, the season is unraveling in mysterious ways so far, and I like it a lot. So please, stop hating and give yourself a chance to peel the celebrity skin while giving miss Kimberly an opportunity to show how great of an asset she can be in productions such as AHS. As an AHS fan, I can't bare the numerous low ratings and the amount of comments hating on the season just because she's in it - yet I can't even imagine where she gathers the strength to accept invitations like this knowing people love to criticize her. It's past time we let her be.

Too bad this movie has such horrible reputation for being a flop at the time it was released. I watched and rewatched the VHS tapes in my childhood, to the point of causing actual damage to our player- not to mention the tape itself. Geena Davis portraits a fearless pirate heir seeking revenge, while chasing treasures with her somewhat loyal pirate crew. She leads men towards their utmost material desires while going through grief combined with some level self sabotage likely caused by the lack of trust in her own instincts (all of us girls have surely experimented that in a certain level at some point in our lives, which makes the character so relatable to the female audience). Meanwhile, men are most certainly part of the plot- like Matthew Modine himself, who invites the audience contemplate why a man who speaks Latin and is so highly educated ended up in jail, and then with pirates. Yes, men are part of the movie- yet not the centre piece... which may explain why the movie "flopped". Had it been stared by a man, let's say a certain Johnny Deep, maybe the fate of history would've taken a different turn with Cutthroat Island. This movie is nevertheless ahead of its time matter of fact the centre piece Morgan Adams herself is unapologetic, courageous, adamant, legendary, and everything that a lady in the 17th century shouldn't be: "let any man who would challenge me draw that", she said. She managed to whimsically transmute all of that energy to the imaginary of little girls and women- myself included, and I refuse to not acknowledge the importance this movie had in my childhood and how empowering it was, and still is. On the top of that, the soundtrack itself is outstanding and the photography and scenery would make one consider spending vacation in the Bahamas just from watching it. If anything: WATCH IT! It's a must.
