Penny Dreadful
Ever curious what will happen if some of the most terrifying villains in literature appear in one TV series? That's what you'll expect in Penny Dreadful. This British-American psychological thriller created by John Logan centers on some of the scariest fictional characters like Frankenstein from Mary Shelly's novel, Count Dracula, Abraham Van Helsing, John Seward, Mina Harker, and more from Bram Stoker's Dracula, Henry Jekyll from Robert Louis Stevenson's novella, and so on. And these villains are no ordinary villains since they'll be coming together and lurk around in Victorian London.

He had a lot of great points that opened my eyes to the historical inconsistencies in the film but I think that overall it's still a pretty good film. And it's great that this film became the star-making vehicle for Eva Green because she really deserved it!"

Kingdom of Heaven - #2July 9, 2018"I read the book before watching the movie so that may have affected my viewing experience. I didn't like the film all that much. Like I said, I think it's more the fact that imagining the book was so much better than watching it, even if Eva Green was soo hot in the movie"

This had the potental to be like GOT but it sadly, it was not to be. If you do decide to check it out... don't expect any kind of accuracy hahah"

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For - #5July 9, 2018"I love this show! I've always loved the horror and the crossover concept so seeing all of my favorite horror characters crossover into one big TV show really excited me! Even though Eva's character was fictional, I still think she did a great job!"

Casino Royale - #7July 9, 2018"Definitely not as good as the first movie. However, if you're into, uhm, very romanticized versions of history then I'd say give it a go. And hey, the Eva Green love scene also doesn't hurt ;)"
