This week Jenn is encouraging EVERYONE to check out Damsel, with her spoiler free thoughts!

Make sure you scroll down for details on how to enter the giveaway too, and as always  ​be sure to let us know what you think!

Jenn - Jennifer Rhodes met Melanie back when True Blood was popular and they have been friends ever since.  She loves TV (especially things that make you smile), Doctor Who, Finding new shows, and regularly provides awesome fandom items for Muser Giveaways.  Jennifer is now a proud member of the VIPers - the Melanie's Muses Spotlight Feature Team!

This is no ordinary fairytale. No Prince Charming is coming. This is just a kick butt princess saving her own self from a Dragon and that movie is Netflix’s “Damsel” , starring “Stranger Things” actress Millie Bobby Brown.

I won’t go into much detail because this has only recently released and some of you may not have seen it yet and this is one movie that definitely should not be spoiled as there are a lot of turns and twists along the way.

​Like I said, this is definitely not a Cinderella type fairy tale, but honestly after watching I think it’s one that was desperately needed. We don’t get a lot of kick butt princesses saying I’m going to save myself. This is exactly what Elodie does when she’s betrayed by the man she married. What does he do? And what ends up happening with the dragon? Well Musers, I’m telling you go watch and see. This may not be a kid friendly movie but it’s definitely still one that you should not miss.

Win It Wednesday - For The Love Of A Character

3/20/2024

This week Melanie and Jenn are talking about something a little different. Rather than focusing on one show/movie they are talking about the love of a Character. For Melanie - that's her normal state of being .... For Jenn - this is something new!

Make sure you scroll down for details on how to enter the giveaway too, and as always  ​be sure to let us know what you think!

Melanie - Founder of Melanie's Muses - You should know who I am lol If not click - All about Melanie!

 This week Jenn sent me the idea about talking about characters rather than a specific show or movie as she had recently come across characters she liked, even though she really didn't like the show.  I can't say that that particular case has happened to me but I can tell you I am definitely a character girl, and always have been.  I have always liked characters in a show, rather than the actors portraying them. I think that's one of the reason that I don't really care what they are like in the real world.

I really noticed it when I was watching The Borgias and I adored the character Cesare. Skip forward to a behind the scenes special, and there was 
François Arnaud talking about the role, annnnnd I had no interest whatsoever. 

There are of course some exceptions, David Tennant and Alan Rickman for example, but for the most part it is the characters.

In fact, this is one of the things I am pretty consistent about. (That and show endings). One of the very first videos I did as Melanie's Muses was talking about that very thing, (I've included it here for those that want to check it out), and then just last week I was talking about how although I adore Song Kang as the lead in the show My Demon, I have checked out a bunch of other things he is in and he hold no appeal at all.  Such a shame!

Has there ever been a show or even a movie that you’ve only watched because you happen to love the characters in said show? Well, to tell you the truth that was not really me until now. I don’t like “The Walking Dead” series and I hate zombies. They freak me out. Sometimes there are exceptions. Like in the case of this show. Rick and Michonne have grabbed ahold of my heart and won’t let go, so much so that I’m watching “The Ones Who Live” just too see them.

​Yes, I’m even going back to “Walking Dead” episodes with them two, though I don’t watch the bridge scene. Has that ever happened to you? I mean I’ve watched a show because I liked the actress but never because of the characters until these two. Yes, I love characters after I watch a show or movie but not before actually seeing them. Was it because I had heard so much about them I just had to check them out? Well maybe and I’m glad I did because these two characters are amazing and I’m starting to understand why fans call the not only a huge power couple but also the GOAT! (greatest of all time)

There’s also a few other characters I love like Rose Tyler and Clark Griswald, but the actors not so much. I can personally say from experience that Billie Piper is not a nice person. I was so excited too meet her but then she just was rude. I’m always cautious now when I meet one of my favorites but luckily everyone else has been great. Chevy Chase I’ve never actually met but I’m glad I haven’t from what I’ve heard from people who have.

Win It Wednesday - Avatar - The Last Airbender

3/13/2024

This week  Jenn is talking about Avatar - The Last Airbender, both the animated series and touching a little on the Netflix live action remake.
​

Make sure you scroll down for details on how to enter the giveaway too, and as always  ​be sure to let us know what you think!

Jenn - Jennifer Rhodes met Melanie back when True Blood was popular and they have been friends ever since.  She loves TV (especially things that make you smile), Doctor Who, Finding new shows, and regularly provides awesome fandom items for Muser Giveaways.  Jennifer is now a proud member of the VIPers - the Melanie's Muses Spotlight Feature Team!

This animated show I have heard about it before, but I just recently watched it and I ended up loving it, and that’s “Avatar”. No not the blue aliens. I mean “Avatar - The Last Airbender” (which was also made into a live action movie in 2010 but fans just pretend it doesn’t exist. So I will just skip over that, trust me it’s bad.)

Netflix has also recently adapted the show into a live action version that just aired. I will say it was very rushed and stuff was added. I didn’t hate it, but going into season two and three there’s a lot of stuff they should take into consideration and fix.

For those that have never seen “Avatar - The Last Airbender”, the story follows Aang, Sokka and Katara. They meet others along the way, and eventually become known as Team Avatar. You also meet Zukko of the fire nation, who honestly has a great redemption arc and you all know how I love those. I won’t go into much detail because I’m sure a lot haven’t seen Avatar, but whatever I will say is don’t let the only reason you don’t check it out is because it was a animated kids show, because some kids shows are absolutely some of the best shows you’ll ever see.

The new live action version I will say does feel very more adult. I guess that’s because it’s geared towards the ones that grew up with Avatar like me, though I’ve only just seen it recently, so if you’re looking for something light family friendly and fun too watch, definitely check out “Avatar - The Last Airbender” but watch the animated version first before checking out any of the live action.

Win It Wednesday - Demon Knight

This week Melanie is talking about the movie Demon Knight - but only a little bit because she brings this up REGULARLY!

Make sure you scroll down for details on how to enter the giveaway too, and as always  ​be sure to let us know what you think!

Melanie - Founder of Melanie's Muses - You should know who I am lol If not click - All about Melanie!

This week I am bringing back one of my absolute cheesy horror movies, which some of you will probably recognize from my Forgotten Feature Fridays back in the day.  Although released in the 90's this movie would be right at home with all the fabulously bad 80's movies I adore.  By far, this is my favorite Billy Zane role and even though I can't stand Jada Pinkett Smith, she isn't bad in this.

I have included the YouTube video from back when I first covered it for the blog, and most of the info is in there if you choose to refresh your memory ... if not then just enter the giveaway lol.
