Top 10 Lifetime Villainesses of 2023 (Part 1: #10 - #6)
Can you believe this is Year Three of this list on Vocal? Seems like yesterday that I first did this. This year's gave us some very delicious villainesses, including a number of actresses finally entering the dark side of a Lifetime movie for the first time. Here's how this list has evolved already. Two years ago, it was only villainesses from Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network. Last year, I decided to mix it up and add some baddies from Lifetime Movie Club and Tubi, because the latter's thrillers are basically Lifetime movies. For this year, I gave Tubi their own list (click here for that story), but this list will still feature the best villainesses from Lifetime, Lifetime Movie Network, and Lifetime Movie Club. This was a hell of a year for Lifetime villainesses, and I truly enjoyed it.

Top 5 Tubi Villainesses of 2023
This has been an amazing year for villainesses from Tubi's original film; so much so that I've decided to give Tubi their own year-end list for 2023. Last year, I mixed some Tubi into the Lifetime year-end list, because a lot of Tubi's original films are the ones that Lifetime, Lifetime Movie Network, or even Lifetime Movie Club passes up. Regarding the number, I decided to list Tubi's five best villainesses, mainly because their releases don't really operate like Lifetime's. Combined, Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network releases three thrillers a week (on non-holiday centered weeks). Tubi releases about three or four thrillers per month.

Rebel Moon is the Future of Entertainment. Top Story - December 2023.
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD. There is no nice way of putting it. Rebel Moon is terrible. But not terrible for the reasons that most people have noticed. After being out for a little less than two weeks, most people have panned the movie for what it is. A sloppy, copy and paste job of some of the most popular science fiction franchises. However, Rebel Moon is far more problematic than that. It goes beyond common sci-fi tropes. It mashes together nearly every successful genre possible in hopes of appealing to the majority people. In doing this, it is everything and nothing at once.

‘Leave the World Behind’-Book and Film Comparison
‘Leave The World Behind’ is a thought-provoking novel, written by Rumaan Alam, first published in 2020. The story of both the book and the film adaptation revolves around two families who are forced to come together in an unexpected turn of events. Both mediums for this story explore the themes such as fear, trust, and the complexities of human relationships. Recently, in 2023, ‘Leave the World Behind’ was adapted into a film, released on the Netflix streaming platform, which has captivated audiences with its compelling narrative, largely based on the book version.

Villainess Review: Jill Rhodes (Naughty or Nice)
One of the many things I love about the holiday season is the holiday-themed shows and films. Hallmark starts celebrating the holidays in October, and I mean both networks; the mystery films take the rest of the calendar year off to make way for the holiday films on their channel. I don't expect villainesses to appear, and even if one does appear, they're usually just nasty or "Grinchy," and they redeem themselves by film's end, because, hey, it's the holidays. That's what the holiday spirit is all about.

How 'The Grinch' Became an Icon
He was the cruel, evil green-animated Ebenezer Scrooge of our childhood props to author Dr. Seuss for making the Grinch a Christmas icon. The Grinch is based on the 1957 children's illustrated book How the Grinch Stole Christmas introduces the Grinch, a green, furry, Pot-bellied, pear-shaped, snub-nosed humanoid creature with a cat-like face and cynical personality who hates Christmas and decides to rob everybody's gifts and holiday decorations down in Whoville to make them feel sad. The story would be adapted in a 1966 short television special, a television series, a 2000 live-action film, a 2018 animation film, musicals, and a song written by the author himself that would be the theme song fitted for the Grinch.

A Cosmic Symphony of Creation
In the eons before time wove its intricate tapestry and the cosmos learned the cadence of existence, there existed a realm untouched by definition—a boundless void known as the Abyss of No Return. This primordial canvas, draped in infinite darkness, was the crucible where the universe prepared to birth itself into the symphony of creation.

Reviewing a Pair of Villainesses from "Echo Base"
Tubi has really been bringing it this year with their original films, and the villainesses who have graced them. It reached a point last year where I included Tubi in my year-end list, and this year, well, Tubi's turned it up. Among such amazing films from Tubi this year is the action-packed sci-fi thriller, Echo Base, which begins with an apparent attack on London, with Capt. Skylar Reagan and her partner, Lt. Malik Wheeler, needing to act fast on this mission. However, it's quickly revealed as a simulation, and it went sideways because the pair were at odds regarding what they needed to do.

Villainess Review: Nicole Whitfield (The Perfect In-Laws)
I had been looking forward to this one for a while, it was Reel One Entertainment's latest contribution to Lifetime. The Perfect In-Laws was set at the wealthy Whitfield estate, and it actually started with a flashback scene of the family's matriarch suddenly passing away while in the bathtub. On to the present day, which sees the film's central character, Audrey Sinclair, on his way to the house, as she's engaged to Xander Whitfield.

How “Death And Ramen” Delivers Love & Loss Through Noodles
Life, loss, and noodles. These are all the defining characteristics that will get you hooked in Tiger Ji’s second film, Death and Ramen. Death and Ramen is a short film written and directed by rising-filmmaker Tiger Ji. In his second movie, he crafts a dark comedy that explores themes of mortality and mental health all within the span of fourteen minutes. While fourteen minutes isn’t a lot of time to tell a compelling narrative, Ji manages to delivers an emotionally charged gut punch that reflects a story in the Asian American experience.
