This illegal alien invaded a home in the middle of the night/early morning and raped an 11 year old girl in her own bedroom and forced the 10 year old sister to watch at knifepoint. 

Kenneth Moreno Guzman Criminal Charges: 

– Rape 

– Statutory Rape 

– Aggravated Child Molestation 

– Aggravated Sodomy 

– Cruelty to Children, 1st Degree 

– Aggravated Assault (Knife) 

– 2 counts – Home Invasion, 1st Degree 

– False Imprisonment – Burglary 

– Possession of a Knife During the Commission of a Crime 

– 10 counts (one count associated with each of the above offenses) 

It made me so angry when I read it. This happened near where I live, a mere hour away. This animal is one of the people the democrats, the communists, and the main stream media are willing to die for. It's absolutely crazy! Stop this insanity now democrats.  Democrats never ever fight for Americans. They will always protect the most vile people, the illegal alien children rapists, murderers, fraudsters. Something is definitely not right with democrats. 

Georgia, vote straight Republican this coming elections. Unless you and your children are willing to be victims of democrat party's protected beasts roaming our neighborhood.

Miss Sophie – Same Procedure As Every Year

 

Tags: Amazon streaming, comedy, farce, German TV series, murder mystery

⭐⭐⭐⭐
 

Miss Sophie – Same Procedure as Every Year is a German television series. The crime comedy is a prequel to the sketch comedy show Dinner for One.

At the beginning of the 20th century, on a country estate near Eastbourne in England , the young, emancipated Miss Sophie is impoverished after the death of her parents, and the castle is threatened with foreclosure. To alleviate her financial distress, she decides to marry rich. To this end, she invites five wealthy bachelors to her castle. Her suitors are the French champagne heir Mr. Pomeroy, property magnate Mr. Winterbottom, the self-proclaimed American billionaire Sir Toby, the German Admiral von Schneider, and the Hungarian Count Szabos.

Amazon Studio produced a very funny TV series, a period romcom farce making fun of several genres - murder mystery, romance and dating, nobles and servants, starving nobility, rich foreigners as husband material, hippie commune... 

The setting is in England and some of the potential husbands are foreigners but they all speak German. Kinda reminds me of Japan's Thermæ Romæ. Even the songs are so funny. The third episode played the ROSÉ and Bruno Mars song APT.

My favorite character is German Admiral von Schneider and his scene with the pigs is hilarious. The French character M. Pomeroy is played by actor Moritz Bleibtreu from Run Lola Run.

Highly recommended. In German only with English subtitles

Asianwiki

Set in the late 1990s, Hong Keum-Bo (Park Shin-Hye) is in her 30's and is an elite supervisor for the Financial Supervisory Service. She is a cool-headed, working woman who only thinks about her job. She goes undercover as a 20 year old high school graduate, Hong Jang-Mi, and begins to work for a securities company where suspicious flows of funds are detected. There, she meets Shin Jung-Woo (Ko Kyoung-Pyo). He is the new CEO of Hanmin Securities Company. Shin Jung-Woo is a natural-born management consultant and a corporate raider, who believes that only numbers are honest. He uses any means necessary to reach his goal. He meets Hong Jang-Mi, whose face is the same as Hong Keum-Bo, whom he once loved. They become complicatedly entangled.

Yay! Park Shin-hye is back and playing a 20 year old High School graduate who was accepted to work in a business establishment under a program for people who never went to college. Park Shin-hye is 35 years old both in real life and in the series. 

I watched episodes 1 and 2 and I like it so far. I hope there won't be a love triangle.

Agatha Christie's Seven Dials

Tags: Agatha Christie, murder mystery, Netflix

From Wiki

Agatha Christie's Seven Dials is a British miniseries based on the 1929 novel The Seven Dials Mystery by Agatha Christie. Created and written by Chris Chibnall, and directed by Chris Sweeney, the miniseries stars Mia McKenna-Bruce, Edward Bluemel, Iain Glen, Martin Freeman, and Helena Bonham Carter.

Oops, British TV did it again! Bastardizing a perfectly good mystery novel by Agatha Christie is their modus operandi. It's getting tiresome. It is an adaptation but must they butcher the characters beyond recognition? I could tolerate just one episode out of 3. I don't know how the series ended.

• First, there is NO Lady Caterham, the mother of Bundle. She was already deceased in the first book with the same characters, The Secret of Chimneys. In the Netflix 3 part mini series, she is alive and well and it was Lord Caterham who died. Helena Bonham Carter playing the mother of Bundle looks like a grocery cart pushing bag lady. I am not kidding. 
• Netflix's Bundle is an emotional train wreck, the complete opposite of the novel's. Bundle is a lively character full of enthusiasm and ideas in solving the murders and just like her friends is not sulking and crying over their dead friends because there are murderers to apprehend and no time to spare. 
• In the book, Scotland Yard Superintendent Battle is a no nonsense law officer who is big framed and tall, built like an armoire. Here he is a short puny playful character, almost like a clown. 

Avoid if you have read the book. I recommend watching instead the 1981 TV series although old is better IMO, has all the humor, and follows the book closely. It's streaming on Amazon Prime.

The Impossible Fortune

⭐

From Goodreads

Who's got time to think about murder when there's a wedding to plan?

It’s been a quiet year for the Thursday Murder Club. Joyce is busy with table plans and first dances. Elizabeth is grieving. Ron is dealing with family troubles, and Ibrahim is still providing therapy to his favourite criminal. But when Elizabeth meets a wedding guest who’s in trouble, kidnap and death are hot on their heels once more. A villain wants access to an uncrackable code, and will stop at nothing to get it.

Plunged back into action once more, can the gang solve the puzzle and a murder in time?

I think it's time to put the four octogenarians out to pasture. This fifth installment is lacking in humor and the usual solving of a murder. All four except Ron are hardly in it. My first beef is with the side character I don't care for the most, Joyce's daughter Joanna. She, her wedding, and her husband's 2 friends are at the center of the story. Ron and his family problems are also front and center. Joyce, Ibrahim, and even Elizabeth are like the side characters. Sheesh, Mr. Osman, what happened? Why a gazillion characters and red herrings that fell flat at the end?

I have a suspicious feeling that the author is hoping for another Netflix movie featuring Ron played by Pierce Brosnan because all members of his family are featured prominently in this book. The grandson, who talks like an adult, solves the second code together with an ex con teenager. 🙄 The first code is solved by Elizabeth but the second baffled her, an ex MI6 agent. Huh??!! IMHO, the book reads like an AI generated garbage.

Not recommended.

The Courtship

⭐⭐⭐⭐

From Amazon Prime Video

1920's. Promising a generous dowry, a father finds a husband for his daughter through a want ad. Can the arranged marriage turn into true love?

Predictable funny sweet movie. All the possible clichés checked out but I enjoyed it very much, regardless. Watch it in its original Magyar language with English subtitles.

Highly recommended.

Believe Your Eyes

BREAKING: Alpha News has obtained cellphone footage showing perspective of federal agent at center of ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis pic.twitter.com/p2wks0zew0

— Alpha News (@AlphaNews) January 9, 2026

Believe your eyes, not the main stream media and morons AKA Democrats who fight for illegal criminals and fraudsters draining your hard earned money for them to buy luxury cars and houses. Democrats NEVER fight for American citizens. EVER!

The woman who was killed was an anti-ICE professional paid to block streets to prevent ICE agents to do their job which is to arrest illegal aliens who have records of rapes of minors, murders, and fraud. 

FAFO

The same agent this year was already dragged by a car driven by a Hispanic illegal criminal who was found guilty and now in jail. The agent was hospitalized for his injuries. Cars are being used as a weapon by criminals and demented democrats. 

Update 

Here are numerous illegal alien criminals in Minnesota the dead idiot democrat voting woman, her partner, and democrat politicians are protecting from ICE agents. 

BREAKING: ICE has provided @FoxNews a list of the most egregious criminal aliens they've arrested during their surge in the sanctuary state of Minnesota, & it's the most disturbing list I've ever seen, including numerous convicted child rapists/sodomizers & ten convicted killers,… pic.twitter.com/xukxfLd4gZ

A Gun For Sale

tags: classics, crime, mystery, noir, thriller

⭐⭐⭐⭐

From Goodreads

Born out of a brutal childhood, Raven is an assassin for hire whose latest hit—a government minister—is one calculated to ignite a war. When the most wanted man in England is paid off in marked bills, he also becomes the easiest to track—and police detective Jimmy Mather has the lead. But Raven’s got an advantage. Crossing paths with a sympathetic dancer named Anne Crowder, the emotionally scarred Raven has found someone in the wreckage of his life he can trust, maybe his only hope for salvation. Or at least, escape—because Anne is also Mather’s fiancée. Now the fate of two men will depend on her. And either way, it’s betrayal.

This is the first time I read A Gun For Sale. It is a very good story told seamlessly. The author was obviously sympathetic to the assassin. Raven, the assassin, was an ugly looking guy - small bodied and with a harelip which made it hard for him to elude the police. The assassination was not the reason he was being sought by the police. It was the stolen bills that he was paid for the job of killing a Czech government minister in order to start a war. Raven wanted revenge for the duplicity of the man who hired him. 

He encountered Anne on a train and tried to steal her ticket because he cannot use the marked money for anything, not even for food. He was able to keep Anne as his hostage of sorts, intending to kill her but Anne was smart. The way she got away from him was pure genius. They met for the second time when he found her in an apartment bound and gagged by the man Raven was trying to find. Small world but this happened in the same town of Nottwich where the assassin, the man who hired him, and the police are all in. The short story has a happy ending for Anne and her police detective fiance. Not so for the 2 bad men. 

Recommended for readers who don't mind reading books written in the 1930s.

I read Graham Green's Brighton Rock many many years ago and also a few short stories, some made into movies. The Third Man and The Fallen Idol are terrific. I  have yet to see Brighton Rock movie adaptation which is already on my Kanopy watch list. Or maybe I have seen it already. 

Run Away

 

tags: cults, drama, Netflix, thriller 

⭐⭐

From Netflix 

Simon's perfect life is shattered when daughter Paige runs away, later found strung out in a park. Simon's search leads into a dangerous underworld where an act of violence rocks his life. 

The Netflix series is an adaptation of Harlan Coben's book Run Away. The synopsis sounded familiar and I checked on Goodreads if I had read the book. I had, in 2019. I vaguely remember except for the cult and the PI Elena. In the book she is an Hispanic lady but since the series is a British production, the character was changed. I don't recall some of the additional characters and I may have to read it again. 

I am not too happy with the casting, as usual. How in the world does a shortish overweight woman work as a SWAT team leader(?) and sort of able to "rescue" a fit tall guy, who later became her husband. I was laughing hard at the giant beach ball running while carrying a heavy weapon trying to kill the bad guys in a warehouse. The warehouse scene explaining how she met her husband is totally unnecessary. The other fat girl is a police detective/investigator acting like a teenager in love and sleeping with her partner. Speaking of the partner, the young Black actor is surely an eye candy but sheesh, he simply cannot act. His idea of acting is knitting his eyebrows. All. The. Time. 

Not recommended.

Ang Mutya Ng Section E

 

tags: action, comedy, drama, Filipino series, High School kids, romance, violence

⭐⭐⭐⭐

from IMDB

A notorious all-male section is shaken up by the arrival of a female transfer student, causing chaos as the grumpy class section president tries to drive her away.

I noticed the second season of this Filipino series in one of Kdrama websites but the first season is missing. I looked for and found the complete first season 16 episodes in another website and finished watching. I'll start the new season when it is complete. 

The Jewel Of Section E is the literal English translation of Ang Mutya Ng Section E. Mutya, pronounced moot-ya or moo-tcha, means pearl, gem, jewel, or muse. The series obviously got the idea from Japan's Hana Yori Dango but I can't accuse the writers of ripping off HYD because HYD is a Japanese anime version of Pride and Prejudice's Mr. Darcy and Lizzie Bennet. Yes, it is.* The lead male is always wealthy, arrogant, and a snob and the lead female is feisty and not afraid to speak her mind. Pride and Prejudice probably created the original love triangle with Darcy, Elizabeth and Wickam. But the similarity ends there because Wickam is a cad and HYD and AMNSE made the second lead a kind lovable boy. In HYD, he has blonde hair and in Mutya, he is Japanese with rooster red hair.   

The girl JayJay, was expelled from her school because of violence and she was taken in by the International School with the help of her wealthy cousin. JayJay is not just feisty, she is downright gangster. LOL. In no time did she become friends with the boys in Section E and also a few of the girls in the higher Sections. 

Recommended for Hana Yori Dango fans.

* Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet pairing is the staple of Mills & Boon romance novels - wealthy, stiff, arrogant mid 30s male and very very young spirited female. I read enough of them to say it is true at the time. I can't say for sure if it is the same today, though.
