Glass Onion
Back at it again, Daniel Craig has hung up his Bond suits for a southern drawl as he reprises his role as Detective Benoit Blanc.

Spirited
Trying to save someone can be difficult, especially if they catch on. Spirited is a musical Christmas Carol where Ryan Reynolds is the one that’s trying to be saved by the ghost of Christmas present (Will Farrell) and things don’t go according to plan. This was a really creative and fresh take on a Christmas … Continue reading Spirited
Wednesday
Number of episodes: 8 Creepy, kooky and altogether spooky Wednesday is a thriving success in my book. Wasn’t completely onboard with this cause who could ever replace the OG Christina Ricci but Jenny Ortega is great. Wednesday Addams is taken to the same boarding school her parents went to where she’s hunted, haunted and caught … Continue reading Wednesday
Bandit
It’s been too long since we’ve had a movie that you root for the criminal. Recommended by a family member, Bandit, the movie that flew under my radar but is actually really great. Josh Duhamel plays Gilbert Galvan Jr “The Flying Bandit,” a guy who has perfected how to rob a bank. Granted this movie … Continue reading Bandit
Rosaline
We all know the classic Romeo & Juliet, two kids fall in love and tragically die. Well, what if you saw the whole thing play out from another point of view? Kinda like Lion King 1 1/2, you see the entire thing from the perspective of Rosaline. Ya know, the one that Romeo was in … Continue reading Rosaline

Hocus Pocus 2
For those skeptical, I was too. Making a sequel of a classic doesn't always pan out. However, this new installment is fun and much more uplifting than the original. The Sanderson sisters (original cast don't worry) return to Salem and do all they can to survive until sunrise...again. It has new songs and has the … Continue reading Hocus Pocus 2

Partner Track
Number of episodes: 10 Here we go, the new rom-com lawyer show on Netflix. So I gave it a try and ended up watching the entire series on a weekend.

Me Time
Overworked and strung out stay-at-home dad Kevin Hart takes the week off and ends up spending it with longtime friend Marky Mark celebrating his birthday. Kevin Hart plays the same person in every movie, I’m thoroughly convinced. This was a pretty B movie but a good laugh if you’re needing something to watch. Rating: 2/5
