It’s the season for Netflix original Christmas movies. First up is Love Hard featuring Nina Dobrev and Jimmy O. Yang. Dobrev is a writer that falls in love with a boy online and surprises him for Christmas only to find out she’s been catfished. There’s many predictable plot points and a couple of so-cringey-you-have-to-leave-the room … Continue reading Love Hard
If you’ve ever watched Rent, you will appreciate the origin of this movie. Jonathan Larson is a composer and screenwriter who is just trying to make it. Long before he creates Rent, he comes up with a musical based on his life. TTB is a real and awe-inspiring piece of work. Did I mention that … Continue reading Tick, Tick…Boom!
Forget The Rock & Kevin Hart, The Rock & Ryan Reynolds is the comedic combination that we've needed. In this modern-day Nation Treasure-esque film, Reynolds, a world-class art thief, teams up with Johnson, an FBI profiler, to stop Gal Gadot from stealing precious ancient Egyptian Faberge eggs. Quite far-fetched, I know. It's a little strange … Continue reading Red Notice
Since Django Unchained I haven't watched a western that I enjoyed. Netflix did a great job with their first attempt at an original western. Featuring an all black principal cast, the movie follows an outlaw (Jonathan Majors) that learns that the man who killed his parents (Idris Elba) is being released from prison. Wanting revenge … Continue reading The Harder They Fall
Warning: this movie discusses violence and mental illness. Broken people save broken people. Jake Gyllenhaal is a police officer that has been demoted to the 911 response center but gets wrapped up in saving a woman who's been taken, hostage. If you've ever been frustrated with customer service on the phone you will be able … Continue reading The Guilty
Episodes: 9 A couple people told me I need to review this one so I gave it a whirl. If Willy Wonka and Jigsaw decided to team up and create their own Hunger Games, this would be it. There are games with sadistic twists, weird-looking henchmen, suspense, and riches beyond your wildest imagination. The only … Continue reading Squid Game
I'll keep this brief. It's not the original. I watched it cause I sincerely had nothing better to do. It does have Tanner Buchanan from Cobra Kai so I watched the whole thing. As Netflix's original teen movies go, it wasn't the worst but it was pretty lame. Bless Rachel Lee Cook for blessing us … Continue reading He’s All That
Okay, I finally sat down and finished Enola Holmes (the first time I meant to keep watching but was distracted, and hey it happens.) Love me Millie BB, I think she did a great job being the hero in her own story. There was just enough wit and charm to make up for the weak … Continue reading Enola Holmes
This show is a little bit all over the place. True to form as a crime limited series, there's suspense, a crime, and an obvious suspect. The whole show you are trying to figure out who to believe. It was entertaining but I wouldn't watch it again. Rating: 1/5
This is a multi-episode expose to different events/people of the sporting world and its past. Needless to say, it was phenomenal. The episodes include Caitlin Jenner's decathlon, Christy Martin's boxing career, and the infamous squabble between the Pacers and Pistons in 2004. All episodes are well done and include all of the key players in … Continue reading Untold
The series officially wrapped and here are my thoughts. Wonderful. Any show that is based on the narrative of an autistic person will be unique. I think the show does a good job of addressing certain scenarios (some highly exaggerated) that any family that is a little different might come across. Parts and scenes make … Continue reading Atypical
If you have no idea who Rita Moreno is, watch this documentary. If you know you Rita Moreno is, watch this documentary. Based on my love of West Side Story, I started this expecting to enjoy this. And I did! It's nice once again to see a documentary do a good job of showcasing an … Continue reading Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go for It
