Ann Pettway & Gloria Williams: A Tale of Two Sinister Child Abductors
Not only am I a fan of Lifetime films, I am also a Black fan of Lifetime films. I always enjoy Lifetime films regardless, but I have loved seeing a handful of such movies featuring a cast of Black actors. Recently, we were treated to a pair of thrillers in Single Black Female, whose cast included Amber Riley (Glee), Raven Goodwin, and Janet Hubert (the original Aunt Viv), and the film Line Sisters, which featured LeToya Luckett and Ta'Rhonda Jones. Lifetime has also featured some true stories in their films, with some of them affecting the Black community.

Reviewing a Hat Trick of Villainesses from "Sorority Party Massacre"
I stumbled on to this film, Sorority Party Massacre, expecting a typical low-budget thrill ride, and it did not disappoint. The film kicks off with Holly Fanning being harassed via cellphone by a mysterious killer, who later eliminates Holly, and afterwards, detective William "Bill" Watts is sent to Grizzly Cove to investigate. The order came from Bill's superior (and Holly's father), Captain Dan Fanning, and it's a weird form of punishment--as Bill's anger problems have plagued the department. The investigation leads him to the town's sheriff, Barney P. Lumpkin, Deputy Lang, and what appears to be a lavish sorority house.

The Phenomenal Career of Tuukka Rask
This week, longtime Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask called it a career; he announced his retirement from the National Hockey League. Rask's career had been an amazing one, as his stellar goaltending put the Bruins back on the map for the first time in decades. He definitely made a lot of waves in his career, with his first one coming even before he started in the NHL.

A Look Back: Triple H's Road to WrestleMania X8
Can you believe it? It's WrestleMania season already! The road to WrestleMania began with the Royal Rumble (as it often does) and it will continue until the weekend of April 2, when the two-night event takes place. Every year, numerous stars have interesting, nail-biting, and yes, emotional roads to that grand stage, and Triple H was no different, as 2002 marked a huge comeback for The Game. Here is the complete story of Triple H's road to WrestleMania in 2002.

Villainess Review: Olivia Stevens (Cut, Color, Murder)
It had been over four months since Hallmark Movies and Mysteries aired an original mystery film. That's a long wait for this fan. HM&M starts their wave of holiday films in late October, and they last for the rest of the year and even about a week or two into the New Year, but during the break, I did learn about this movie, Cut, Color, Murder. From the looks of it, this should be the first of yet another original mystery film series, and if so, I'm looking forward to more of these. The star pairing in this film is Julie Gonzalo, who was recently part of the Arrowverse with her regular role as Andrea Rojas on Supergirl, and Ryan McPartlin, who played on L.A.'s Finest.

28-3: Five Years Later
Hard to believe that five years have passed since the biggest embarrassment in the history of the Super Bowl. On February 5, 2017, the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons faced off in Super Bowl LI, the final chapter of a very intriguing season and playoffs. The Patriots were attempting to win their fifth Super Bowl and their second in a three year span, while the Falcons were in the Super Bowl for the second time in franchise history. To the surprise (and delight) to many watching, this was all Falcons to start. It was scoreless after one quarter, but the Falcons exploded on offense; putting up three touchdowns while their defense held the Patriots to a single field goal, which came at the end of the half.

NHL 2021-22 Western Conference 1st Half Recap
The picture in the NHL's Western Conference has been a very intriguing (and crowded) one, to say the least. While it appears that the Eastern Conference may have their playoff teams set in stone, the Western Conference has a lot of pieces on the board entering the All-Star break. The potential for a thrilling second half and home stretch is right in front of us, but before we look at the possibilities, let's look at where the West teams stand.

NHL 2021-22 Eastern Conference 1st Half Recap
It was rocky, but the NHL made it to the All-Star Break, the midpoint of the season. The second half will begin sooner than planned, as the 95 games that were postponed due to the outbreak of the Omicron variant of COVID-19, will all be played during the NHL's originally scheduled Olympic break during the heart of February. But that's the second half. This is about the first half of the season, and it was quite interesting in the NHL's Eastern Conference. Here's how things stand in the East entering the break.

Introducing the Washington Commanders
After playing their last two seasons without an actual name, Washington, D.C.'s NFL franchise delivered as promised and announced a new name for their team: the Commanders. The name was announced early on February 2, 2022, though it was leaked on social media on the day before. "Commanders" had been a finalist in name choices from the start, with other suggestions including "Red Hogs" and "Admirals." It was a very long road to get to this point, but before I give my thoughts on the new name, I have to detail the history, as ugly as it is.

Villainess Review: Mandy Bronson (Monk)
Hard to believe that this summer will mark the 20th anniversary of Monk, the long-running hit USA Network series that starred Tony Shalhoub as the titular Adrian Monk, a former police detective turned consultant--with an immense amount of phobias. I love this show immensely, it's an amazing series, it's made me a fan of Tony Shalhoub and his various co-stars (including Jason Gray-Stanford, who's done a few Lifetime films), and the show has featured an impressive group of villainesses, and I've written reviews about a few of them.

My Hopes for WWE's Women's Division on the Road to WrestleMania 38
We are officially on the road to WrestleMania, but this diehard women's wrestling fan is left wondering what roles WWE's Women's Division will have at the grand stage. For the third straight year, WrestleMania will be a two-night event, as WrestleMania 38 will take place on April 2 and 3. The grand event being two nights long allows WWE to put together a true supercard, and I think there are many possibilities for the women. WWE's main roster has three championships in their Women's Division: the Raw and SmackDown Women's Championships, as well as the Women's Tag Team Championship, with the current iteration having now existed for three years.

Conference Championship Recap: Down to the Wire
I always enjoy the Conference Championships, because this is it. It's the final step before the Super Bowl. The winners go on to the big dance, while the defeated lament about coming so, so close to the ultimate goal. For Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals, the fact that they got this far was improbable, yet there they were, at Arrowhead, the AFC's current impenetrable fortress. Even with the Bengals' amazing run, many figured that the proverbial clock would strike midnight on this day. After all, these are the Kansas City Chiefs. Their QB is Patrick Mahomes. Their star receiver is Tyreek Hill. They have the #1 tight end in the league in Travis Kelce. And with KC leading 21-3, it looked like the Chiefs were on their way to their third straight Super Bowl.
