It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
View MoreIt isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
View MoreAlthough I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
View MoreLet me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
View MoreThis show was the shiz! Two unsuspecting college girls are actually vigilantes for fellow students who have been assaulted!? Who wouldn't want to watch this? Eliza Bennet does a good job as seemingly innocent sorority girl Jules but its Taylor Dearden in my opinion that steals the show. She plays the green haired Ophelia (awesome) - pot smoker/seller, record store employee, computer hacker and borderline genius out for revenge against the scummy men who have gotten away with nonconsensual behavior towards women. I thought now more than ever that this would be relevant topic to explore but it was canceled after only one season so shows like Jersey Shore and fifteen different versions of Teen Mom could keep going! Not judging anyones taste in reality tv (u b u) but this was such a heartfelt and entertaining show- it was truly gone way too soon. Just like Hindsight from 2015- that show was a blast! Silver lining- *Writer/Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson is currently in post for her first feature "Someone Great" with Rosario Dawson and Gina Rodriguez that sounds fun AND *Taylor Dearden will be in "Search and Destroy" which is based on Carrie Brownstein's book "Hunger Makes me a Modern Girl"- can't wait!
View MoreSweet/Vicious is a show that wants to be everything. It is a tale of vengeance in which two women put on masks and terrorize unprosecuted rapists. It is an extremely silly soap opera-ish comedy along the line's of MTV's terrific Fakin' It. It is a sort of non-supernatural superhero show in the style of the amazing Crazyhead. It is a study of post-traumatic stress disorder. It is an attempt to explain the concept of consensual sex. It is an exploration of the darkness inherent in vigilantism. It is a relentless exposure of campus rape. It is an attempt to end rape culture.It's a sometimes awkward and bumpy mix of things, but for the most part, it works surprisingly well. At first, the series focuses on the action-comedy aspects, as the very funny Ophelia teams up with the very focused Jules to take down rapists and cover up a case where that got out of hand. As it progresses, the series moves more into Jules' trauma, at times dropping action entirely, as in a searing episode that would be, in superhero terms, her origin story.As with other driven vigilantes like Batman, Jules is broken by trauma. Vigilantism isn't portrayed as purely straightforward; early on they attack an innocent man. Unfortunately, the heroes of Sweet Vicious seem uninterested in the Batman idea of turning criminals over to the cops, even in the case of two serial rapists that really need to be arrested rather than beaten up.Through it all, the series makes the case for consensual sex. The nice guys in the series, of which there are several, are extremely polite, and there is a fair amount of, "can I kiss you," "is this okay," and "are you sure" sprinkled through the sex. While the idea of consensual sex sometimes sounds rather un-hot, the series makes the case that it's romantic and sexy.Sweet/Vicious can be funny and entertaining, and it can be grim and heartbreaking, but it is always worth watching. I like to think that, if enough people watch it, this series could do a little damage to rape culture. I certainly admire the attempt.Alas, it was canceled after one season. Tragic.
View MoreDon't usually do reviews but put this on because of another reviewer who put one on after only seeing one episode, yes first episode wasn't fantastic but good enough for second episode to be watched yes its no Breaking Bad best ever TV series IMHO incidentally episode 2 an honorable mention to said series probably due to the fact the star of the show is Bryan Cranston's daughter (hope that doesn't count as a spoiler shouldn't do) anyway this series is dark, funny got enough action and does address issues of a serious nature, was looking for something till The Blacklist, Quarry, Stranger Things, Dark Matter, TMITHC, & GOT comes back and this & Shooter will definitely do for now!
View MoreThere is a spoiler or two. You are now warned.Sweet/Vicious is probably one of my favorite shows at the moment because it goes into a lot of details about sexual assault that most shows refuse too. Another thing that is great is the chemistry between the characters, you can really tell they care about each other. The only show that I personally have seen where they talk about the issues this show includes as much as it does is Law & Order: Special Victims Unit . While I do love SVU I feel like this is a better show for millennials (not to say only millennials should watch this show) because it is solely focusing on sexual assault on a college campus. People think most shows on MTV are silly party shows when in actuality their shows have been really showing things people should be seeing. I love this show, and think others should watch it, because it really is a funny show while still keeping the serious it needs too. Another great thing about the show is the LGBT themes in it with one of the main characters being Bisexual and it is not a big deal whatsoever.Thanks
