So this person has really become a household name in the past year or two, and she really deserves it.
This person is extremely talented and always understands the assignment.
Let's hear a round of applause for Jenna Ortega!
She's been around for awhile now, but nothing really took off for her until she was casted as Wednesday Addams in the Netflix original series, Wednesday, which is the first thing I ever saw her in, and my favorite.
I've seen a few other things with her in it as well. There's this movie called The Fallout, about surviving a school shooting, and her performance in that is so powerful. The movie is a great representation of grief, and no matter how much time has passed, it can hit you at any moment.
Then there's the movie Yes Day, where she plays the daughter, and her parents have to say yes to everything for a whole day. She's really good at playing an angsty teenager. In fact, she perfectly represents the angsty teenager in all of us.
To my understanding, she also has a major role in the more recent Scream movies, but I have never seen a Scream movie, and I dunno if I want to start now.
Also, lately in the news, she has been confirmed to be starring in Beetlejuice 2! Now, that is one movie I am rather excited for I loved Beetlejuice as a kid, and I am so sure that I will love this long awaited sequel.

So, I'm back, once again, and I am starting off with a bang, lemme tell ya.
We all get celebrity crushes, someone who could play a very minor part and we would still watch it simply because that person is in it, or when we watch something not knowing they are in it and get pleasantly surprised to be blessed with their face.
Nobody can deny how absolutely captivating Jesse Williams is.
I first saw him in the HIT television series Grey's Anatomy, in fact that's currently the show I am binge watching for the second time and he just got introduced into the fold.
That also happens to be my favorite thing he's been in, granted I haven't seen much of his work.
You may recognize him from some movies, such as the new(ish) movie on Netflix, Your Place or Mine, where he plays the famous editor Theo Martin.
He's also been in Cabin in the Woods, Secret Headquarters, and recently appeared in the Hulu Original Series Only Murders in the Building.
We all know what drew us to him... LOOK AT THOSE EYES. I swear, those are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen.
Thank you, Jesse Williams, for your stunning contribution to the cinematic and television world. We really appreciate you.

I know, I know.. Itâs been awhile. But, hear me out- life.
Whilst I cannot promise a schedule with my posts, know that I will never abandon my duties as blog mistress.
That being said, lets go ahead and take a dive into todayâs guest of honor: Viola Davis.
It took me awhile to figure out who I wanted to post on this blog next. Every name I passed just didnât scream out at me enough because it just wasnât their time. But Viola Davis has been a constant source of entertainment for me, so when I thought of her while scrolling, I just knew I had to do an update on her.
The first thing I ever saw Viola in was Disturbia. I will admit to having forgotten about that movie, and her appearance in it. I do remember watching it when I was around 8 or 9 years old though. I have always preferred more intense movies as opposed to the kids movies I was supposed to have been watching at that age. Now it seems like I need to rewatch it to refresh my memory.
Her most memorable role for me, however, was her starring role on How To Get Away With Murder. I was absolutely fascinated with this show, as I also wanted to become a lawyer or detective, since I really love puzzles. The show never really had a dull moment, and it excited me. She was brilliant in this.
My favorite, however, will be a movie that will always remain a favorite of mine ever since I saw it. I recommend it to others all the time, and I just canât get enough of it.. The Help. The Help is a movie that will always move me to tears, no matter how many times I may have seen it. Whenever I need a good cry, this movie is definitely a contender on what I will be watching.Â
Without Viola, I feel the roles she played in these things would have been an injustice if played by anyone else. So, thank you, Viola, for making my heart melt when it needs to be melted.

Here we are again, featuring another actor on my blog. Noah Centineo isnât new to the acting scene, but he has only recently gotten the recognition he deserves. I remember being a teenager, when this new Disney show came out that my sister was absolutely obsessed with..
Iâm sure youâve guessed it by now, since this piece is on Noah Centineo.. But Austin and Ally. Noah played the by Dallas who ran the cell phone accessory cart at the mall. This was the very first thing I ever saw Noah in.. And if I were Ally, I would have kept chasing Dallas than settling for Austin, letâs be real here.Â
Now, he hasnât only had small roles, remember? Like I said, heâs been in the spotlight a lot recently. So letâs touch base on To All The Boys Iâve Loved Before.. Where he played the MAIN squeeze, as he rightfully deserves to be. I couldnât imagine Peter being played by anyone else in those movies. He is perfect in everything heâs been in.
He does have a new show out on Netflix called The Recruit, and I will be binge watching it tonight, as I didnât know about it until earlier today. I canât wait to see him on my big screen again.
I donât know if yâall are big into youtube channels or shows, but Noah did do a guest appearance on Good Mythical Morning recently, where he did a lot of hugging. You should really go check it out. You can really see his personality shine through when he isnât given a script to act on.Â
Noah is perfection and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for him.

I am currently under the weather and donât know how creative I can be with this post, but I feel like I have to update as much as I can. There are so many actors and actresses out there that deserve recognition, whether they are still in the acting scene, deceased, or still booming in Hollywood.
I saw a preview for the show That 90â˛s Show, the That 70â˛s Show Reboot, and it got me thinking, I havenât done a single person from that show, even though almost all of them are big names these days. So, for this post, I chose to do Mila Kunis, who played Jackie in That 70â˛s Show!
That 70â˛s Show was the first thing I ever saw her in, ever. I used to come home from school, and back in those days I had an antennae TV and could only get like 3 channels, but lucky for me, That 70â˛s Show was on one of those channels. I used to come home and get settled in and watch That 70â˛s Show, Family Guy (also has Mila Kunis in it), and many other shows.
My favorite thing with Mila Kunis in it though has to be The Angriest Man in Brooklyn. She perfectly compliments Robin Williamsâ character in this movie, and everybody did so well in that movie, it had me in tears.Â
The first movie I ever saw her in I think though was Black Swan alongside Natalie Portman. I was about twelve years old when I watched that I did not understand a thing. I should probably rewatch it, and who knows, maybe it will become my favorite afterall.Â
Good night, everyone.

And weâre back, with more Actor Appreciation, of course.Â
Look at that face. Ya recognize it? You should. He went from being a teen heart throb, to any middle aged personâs dream guy. Brad Pitt has an attractive and yet quirky look to him, and it makes him easily recognizable in anything he is in.Â
So, welcome to Actor Appreciation: Brad Pitt edition.
Now, I am just a blogger and you are very welcome to disagree with who I post and what I say about them. These posts are all just a statement of my opinion, and sometimes it could be the boost the actor needs on a down day. (I do tweet these out once Iâm done posting them. Who knows if they see them).
The very first thing I remember seeing Brad Pitt in was his ONE time appearance on the show Tales From the Crypt. You really gotta dive into his history to even know about that, or really only big fans of him would know. Tales From the Crypt, if you canât tell, was a horror series that used to air on television. Iâve always been a big horror person, even at a young age (not that Iâm old or anything.), so Tales From the Crypt was a favorite growing up.
My favorite thing Brad Pitt has been in though is Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. I truly donât know why, but the way he plays an aloof stunt double just really showed another side of him and it was so unlike what heâs done before that it just really stuck with me.Â
Honorable mentions: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Such a sad movie, made me cry), Inglorious Basterds (I never really liked movies like this, and I was like 12 when I saw it. Probably should have waited til I was older to even understand it.), Troy (Huge fan of this one, and I never thought I would be until my ex boyfriend made me watch it.)
So this concludes this installment of Actor Appreciation. Do yâall agree?

On todayâs episode of Actor Appreciation, we feature.. Zoe Saldana!
I am running on fumes, fighting sleep, so I donât know how detailed this post will be, but I picked her out to do today while I was at work. No particular reason why other than wanting to do someone that was unrelated to my last post. I try not to do actors all in the same movie or show in a row.
The first thing I saw Zoe in was Avatar. I loved that movie when it came out and it does still rank highly on the ever growing list of movies I have seen (I have a movie review blog, too, you should check it out). It, however, is not my favorite movie I have seen her in.
I have to mention her HIT role in the MCUâs Guardians of the Galaxy. Literally no one could play Gamora as well as she does, and I dare they even try because I will throw hands. I have been a huge super hero nerd since the day I was born, and I think she does really well, if ya canât tell.
My favorite movie she is in, however, is The Adam Project. That movie really tugs at my heart strings as a single mom, and the adventures they go through in this movie to protect the child and save the future, all while trying to make sure the kid understands he needs to be kind to his mom is just outstanding work.Â
Okay, I should probably sleep. Goodnight everyone.

I mean.. Itâs time right? This man deserves the best, and whilst I know my blog isnât the best, he still deserves a space here. I could create a whole blog dedicated to this man and it wouldnât be enough. Brendan Fraser, my childhood, my first adult crush, my first action hero.
My first favorite.
This man has been through hell, and still comes to the top in everything. And hey, Brendan.. Me, too. I have been there. Me, too.
Okay letâs talk the movies before this post becomes too emotional.Â
The first thing I ever saw him in was George of the Jungle, because I was a kid and thatâs a family movie. I absolutely loved him. Love at first sight, as they say. He is going to stay at the top for always and eternity.Â
The Mummy series are not the same without him. He is my only star. I love you, Brendan.Â
My favorite one, though? Journey to the Center of the Earth. That movie absolutely threw me. Itâs got adventure, emotional heart string pulling, and great family bonding.
I am so glad he is back into acting, and I would absolutely murder anyone who wrongs him. He deserves the world, and I am willing to give it to him.
Oh, I also canât forget his small but very impacting role on Scrubs. Scrubs is one of my comfort shows, and his role gave the show the first âserious moment in a comedyâ that showed comedies can tackle hard subjects.
Signing off. With love.

So, I am constantly juggling who to post next. Sometimes I do a bunch of research on someone just to not do them at all. But today, while I sat here pondering, I got distracted with the good olâ book of faces, and stumbled upon a Beetlejuice post, and I had my answer.
Winona Ryder, guys. Why did it take me so long? I cannot answer that question. What I can answer, is how amazing she is as a human being, and actress.Â
Now Iâm not here to talk about her personal life, but her film life. Obviously, the first thing I ever saw her in was Beetlejuice, one of my favorite movies growing up. Iâve always been strange and unusual, and I related so much to Winona Ryderâs character in it.Â
Recently, she has been starring and dominating in the Netflix series Stranger Things, and if you havenât seen that, Iâm gonna need you to up your game. I am a die hard fan. When I tell you I ordered a custom Christmas ornament from Etsy and it came with a Stranger Things sticker, and I was almost more excited for the sticker than the ornament, I mean it.
I cannot live without the creepy movies Winona has helped bring into my life, and I almost forgot! Her voice in Frankenweenie made the whole movie, donât you agree?Â
All right, thatâs enough gushing. Until next time!

I apparently started off coming back to blogging with my last post, so letâs see if I can keep the force going. Harrison Ford, ladies and gentlemen. The one and only Han Solo that I will ever accept as my lord and savior.
Harrison Ford has been in plenty of big hits, but as yâall know by now, we are only going to be talking about a few of them, because if I had to talk about all of them, my already super long posts will just become outrageous.
Now, Iâm gonna be real with you guys. I kinda suck at watching older movies, so the first movie I ever watched with Harrison Ford in it was Enderâs Game. Which, donât get me wrong, is a good movie. But.. I should have started elsewhere.
I have since seen all of the Star Wars movies, so donât worry. I am working on changing the errors of my ways. I absolutely love Star Wars, so there is a New Hope for me yet. I really couldnât picture Han Solo being played by anyone else in those movies. If I ever got the chance to tell Harrison Ford I love him.. All he will say is, âI know.â and I will just die on the spot to be honest.
The most recent movies I have watched him in is the Indiana Jones franchise. I know it took me a hot minute to watch them but I really binged them all one after the other. I have never been one for action movies but I was convinced to watch them by my ex boyfriend, and whilst I regret the relationship, I definitely do not regret Indiana Jones. I mean who would?
Thank you, Harrison Ford, for everything you do for the film industry. It wouldnât be the same without you. I love you.

Oh guys, ya girl is back to blogging. Iâm sorry for not being around lately, yâknow, life and shit.Â
So letâs get this started back up with a bang, ya feel me? Anna freaking Kendrick. I think Iâm in love with her, but then again, who isnât? She is beautiful, quirky, and overall a great personality. But we arenât here to talk about that.
The first movie I ever saw her in was, of course, Twilight. Donât judge me. I had read the books, and I just needed to see it, okay? 5th grade me couldnât resist.. But much like Anna Kendrick, I forgot she was in it. So hey, Anna, we got something in common.
Now if you werenât an emo vampire kid (my nickname the bullies gave me in school. How original.), there were plenty of other things she was in. Into the Woods, What to Expect When Youâre Expecting, Mr. Right....
My favorite one that sheâs been in though? Pitch Perfect. She absolutely slayed in those movies, and I was addicted. The acting and sassiness in that movie alone could take anyone out.Â
Wasnât she in that one show.. My Best Friend is a Sex Doll? Or was that entire show just a fever dream I had. Wild.
Either way, Anna Kendrick is an absolute blessing, and the light of my life. I hope yâall can agree.

So I donât think I even have to say this guyâs name for you guys to recognize him. This is Matthew Gray Gubler. I have to say his name anyways for this post to even make sense, so there ya go.Â
Published author, artist, and actor, this man has invaded my dreams for over a decade. I have sent him thirst tweets, literally. Granted, they havenât been answered because you know.. Iâm not famous. But I have been in love with this man almost my whole life.Â
He is Dr. Spencer Reid on Criminal Minds. One of the best crime shows that exist. I canât for the life of me think of anything else heâs been in but I just be drooling over him in that show.Â
I dunno if its the nerdy look, the tall and lanky look, the chiseled jaw look, or all of the above that makes him so damn attractive to me but hey. It is what it is.Â
This concludes this actor appreciation post. Sorry for the thirst rant.

You will never be able to convince me that Miley Cyrus is a bad person. When I look at her, I see myself. A woman who was pressured to become something more than what she wanted to be. Now that she became an adult, she was set free. Free to be whoever the hell she wanted to be.
Now I know Miley hasnât been in much, acting wise. She had her breakthrough role playing Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana in the Disney series, and that is where I fell in love with her. I was a kid just hoping I was at my grandmotherâs house at the same time it was on since my family couldnât afford cable.I really wanted to be her, I wanted that life.
Then she starred in a movie called LOL, with Demi Moore. Not gonna lie, I never watched it. But that wasnât my fault. My mom caught me watching it and said it was way too inappropriate for me to see as a kid. So, I guess it is my fault that I havenât seen it yet now that I am an adult with kids.
Now my favorite movie she was in is Nicholas Sparksâ Last Song. I am all for saving the turtles, and playing the piano and singing. Not that I can do those last two, but I still try. I loved seeing her fall in love, because it was like she really was falling in love, since her and Liam got together. It was magical I found myself wishing I was her again. Living on the beach, falling in love, being musical.Â
No matter what I watch, I find myself wanting to be her. Which is crazy, because my mom used to tell me I looked like her all the time. She even posted 2 pictures of us side by side asking who was who. It was crazy.Â
I love you Miley.

A new day, a new actor to bless your screens. Today I would like to talk about Ryan Gosling. Whilst he isnât my favorite Ryan, he is definitely an honorable mention.Â
I remember watching The Notebook as a kid and crying, and even now when I rewatch it I get a little teary eyed at the end. Ryan did such a great job in that movie, and I truly believe that The Notebook is the first movie I ever saw him in, but it definitely wasnât the last.Â
Most recently, I watched the movie All Good Things, and saw a side of Ryan I didnât even know existed. I knew he could be charming, but then came the dark and sinister side I never expected. Based on a true story, this movie follows a man and wife, during their hardest days until the wife goes missing...Â
Now the next movie is one I feel obligated to mention because its a movie my cousin was an extra in. I feel like if I donât mention it, Iâd be doing my family a disservice.Â
Remember The Titans. You guys know of that movie right? Seen it? I havenât. I know, I know, I shouldnât even be talking about it since I havenât seen it, but like I said, my cousin was an extra. Literally the only thing he has every been in though, so no big deal. My boyfriend, however, has seen it. He reassured me that men can be named Sunshine too, after I named a cat Sunshine thinking it was a girl, and his inspiration and reasoning? This movie and a character they call Sunshine.Â
Anyways, I know there are plenty of movies out there with Ryan Goslingâs beautiful face plastered on the movie posters, but I can only talk about so many in my blog posts without boring everyone. Could you imagine if I went through every actorâs entire filmography for this? Gosh.Â
I love you guys. Signing off.

We have all seen this beautiful face before, Iâm sure. If you havenât, where have you been? Are you feeling okay?Â
Drew Barrymore has been acting practically her entire life. I grew up with her on my screen, and Iâm sure many of you have. I did a brief piece on her acting in Ever After on another blog of mine, and I will reiterate what I said there in this post here.Â
My first time seeing Drew on the screen was in the movie E.T., and that is a classic movie that if you havenât seen, then there is no help for you. Not gonna lie though, that movie freaked me out. I donât know what it was about aliens when I was a kid, because I was also afraid of ALF, but they just spooked me. Which is crazy because I grew up on horror movies and ghost stories and they didnât phase me. But, put an alien in front of me and I noped out of there.
A, dare I say memorable, movie of herâs was 50 First Dates, with Adam Sandler and his gang of pals. She played his love interest who had a severe case of amnesia and kept forgetting who he was! She played the perfect aloof girl in this, and I will always love her.
One of my favorites though, is Ever After. That is truly a classic that I could not live without. I made my boyfriend watch it for the first time not too long ago and he said it gave him Princess Bride vibes, it was that good. Truly, TRULY, love that movie and I highly recommend it to anyone who has never seen it.Â
All right, I need to wrap this up before it getâs out of hand. What are your guysâ opinions on Drew Barrymore?

Letâs get down to business, because that is what our good human, Robert Downey Jr. would want us to do.
I donât really know that, heâs just all business in almost every movie I have seen him in. Not just as his role as Tony Stark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but also in movies like Zodiac, and even Tropic Thunder where, whilst it isnât a serious role, he takes his job very seriously.
That is one thing I love about him, no matter what task he is given, he knows how to make it his own and will never let the audience down. As that new Tiktok trend is going, He understood the assignments!
But, those roles I mentioned before arenât the only times we get to see his amazing face on screen, oh no.
Robert Downey Jr. plays in some seriously nerdy movies, not just ones in the MCU. He played as Sherlock Holmes in the most recent Sherlock movies, and those were amazing adaptations. I feel like not every adaptation perfectly captures how unhinged Sherlock really was in the books than these movies.Â
Thatâs not all he is capable of. Do yâall remember the movie, The Shaggy Dog? I know a lot of us try to forget about it but lets really dig deep into our memories here. He did an amazing job in that movie, even though the movie really went under.Â
No matter what he does though, we will always love Robert Downey Jr. in this household.

What is there to say about Sandra Bullock? Letâs dive into a whole childhood (mine, not hers) of wonder and awe. I watched her movies endlessly growing up.Â
I want to start with my most memorable one. The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. This was one of my most favorite movies growing up. I remember playing hide and seek with my parents, and I chose a real good hiding spot (the kitchen cabinet.. Move over cans of green beans..), and I waited. And waited.. I could hear my parents start to worry because they legit could not find me. So I belted âYa-Ya!â, and that relieved them. They found me and we all had a great laugh afterwards. Itâs one of my momâs go to childhood stories for me. I always wanted to be transported into a time where I could be like the little girls in this movie, and I hope one day I get to pretend to drink alligator blood around a fire.. To this day, I stand by my fire pit, and just stare into the flames and say âya-yaâ much to my boyfriendâs utter confusion.
The next movie I want to move onto is one of my momâs favorites, and surely you all have heard of this one.. If not for Sandra, then for Keanu. The Lakehouse. Imagine a world where mailboxes were portals through time that you could talk to anyone. This love story is not one to be overlooked. I just.. I wish it ended differently. Whatâs crazy is that Sandra and Keanu had a thing for each other but they were so scared and nervous about telling the other, so their time passed them by, much like the time passed by them in The Lakehouse.Â
I am going to wrap up this post with a movie the entire world was familiar with a few years ago. Bird Box swept through the nations faster than a bus that canât go slower than a certain speed without exploding. A psychological thriller by nature, Bird Box took many twists and turns that left viewers wondering the symbolic aspect of the movie. Even if you werenât one to ask âwhyâ, you were one to enjoy it. I loved seeing the emotional evolution of Sandra Bullockâs character throughout the movie, and watching her mature as the world ended all around her.
Well, this is ya girl, signing off. I know it had been awhile since I last posted, but I felt like I needed to get one out there. Life just gets real hectic. Iâm sure yâall understand.Â
