Good Girls Revolt Makes Me Want To Revolt

I had every intention of watching Good Girls Revolt when it was first released on Amazon, purely because of the name. I had no idea what the series was about because I hadn't seen any trailers for the series (although I use Amazon Instant Video frequently and am bombarded with ads for various other Amazon  tv series) so all I had to judge it by was its promotional poster which tells me nothing. Other than there is three women in it (one that I mistook for Clemence Posey). And it's on Amazon. And there might be some bad wallpaper.

I didn't watch the show right away which was a mistake on my part, I always feel that even though I am only one viewer a show would've survived if I made the effort to watch it. In my defence for an online series the show was cancelled awfully quickly after it was first released which made me believe that it must have been truly awful. Amazon has kept Hand Of God on for two seasons and although I initially found that show intriguing it has become terrible in a short space of time so I figured Good Girls Revolt must be terrible and made me put off watching it for even longer. Then one day I found myself at a loss and decided to watch the first episode and see how it was and now I find myself ten episodes later wanting to scream "WHAT THE FUCK AMAZON".

Kong: Skull Island Is The Perfect Opening Of The MonsterVerse

I only watched the recent Godzilla movie a few weeks ago, I'd been putting it off because I thought I'd be disappointed with watching another reboot that's trying to build it's own universe. I was pleasantly surprised when I finally watched the film, it actually had a storyline and watching the film was a good way to spend a couple of hours. It had small nuggets of what is to come by introducing the organisation Monarch and the idea of MUTO but on the whole it felt like a stand alone film and it wouldn't have felt like something was missing if it had ended at Godzilla. Thankfully the movie was a juggernaut and made enough money that the studio decided to treat us with Kong: Skull Island.

The first trailer that was released for the film gained my interest and with every teaser released since comic con last year I became even more enthused. I liked the 70s-esque feel, I liked the John C. Reilly, I like the Samuel L. "mother fucking" Jackson and I liked Kong who was the bigger than I'd ever expected him to be. Low and behold I was free on the day it opened and as my friends had shown know interest in watching the film (well, the two I mentioned it to anyway) there was nothing stopping me from watching it in IMAX and apart from learning I couldn't handle watching movies in IMAX I loved the experience. It made me want to go to an Island somewhere and smash shit up until I realised that that was what the film was telling me not to do.

Z: The Beginning Of Everything Is Dazzling Drama

It's probably no shock at this point that I think Amazon is making great strides in streaming television and they've released another series that is sure to be (or at least I hope it will be) a hit. Z: The Beginning Of Everything was released last week and I have come to the realisation that I can binge watch any show, no matter the genre or the subject matter. Z is an adaptation of Z: The Novel Of Zelda Fitzgerald and follows the exploits of Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald (Christina Ricci) of F. Scott (David Hoflin) and Zelda Fitzgerald fame. If you haven't been living under a rock for almost a century the name F. Scott Fitzgerald should be familiar to you. If you have studied English anytime in the last century you should be overly familiar with him due to his most famous work The Great Gatsby as well as numerous others including The Last Tycoon. Scott may be the most famous out of the pair and is a prominent character in the series but Z is most definitely Zelda's show.
