Rachel Review: Deadly Illusions, a must not watch
While not technically a Netflix original, a new movie dropped on Netflix on March 18 so cleverly named “Deadly Illusions”, that might be the only compliment I give it.

Rachel Review: Finding ‘Ohana: The Hawaiian Goonies
What drew me to this film was the sense of nostalgia the film brought with it’s treasure hunting and the fact that the movie had a predominantly Hawaiin cast.
