Movie Review – Damsel
TL;DR Damsel wasn’t awful. But it was a long way from good. It’s best suited for parents who want their young daughters to watch a twist on the typical fairy tale. The problem is that it’s not exactly bloodless. There’s some violence in here that some parents wouldn’t want to share with children who are…

Stranger Things Watch Journal (Season 4)
TL;DR This is my favorite season so far. The first two episodes are really rough on the characters, but it picks up and boy does it get good. There’s not just nine episodes in this season. But nine long episodes. Toward the end of the season it’s like watching one move after another and ends with…

Stranger Things Watch Journal (Season 3)
TL;DR Stranger Things Season 3 doesn’t have the magic of the first two seasons. That being said, it’s still a binge-worthy show that continues to expand the existing cast of characters and push the existing characters to grow into new roles. S3.E1 ∙ Chapter One: Suzie, Do You Copy? What a difference two years makes.…

Stranger Things Watch Journal (Season 2)
TL;DR Another great season. It feels like the action and plot will peak in episode 5, but it just keeps building—except for episode 6, which is a departure from the main story. We finished the season by binging three episodes in one night because we just couldn’t put it down. Episode 1 They did a…

Stranger Things Watch Journal (Season 1)
—
TL;DR A well-written show that appeals to a broad age range. I was a senior in high-school when this show takes place—1984. There is a lot of nostalgia in this for me, although I was, regrettably, never a D&D player. I watched the show with my wife and mother. Both enjoyed the show as much…

Amazon Prime series “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” review
—
Mr. & Mrs. Smith is probably not what people were expecting, but at the same time, it’s so much better than what I ever hoped for. The show has a 6.9 overall rating on IMDb, but don’t let that fool you. If you look at the episode-by-episode rating, you’ll see that they all range between…

Netflix Series “Bodies” review
Bodies started well. The mystery is compelling from the start, and the acting is top-notch. All of the characters are interesting, except for Maplewood who neither my wife or I liked from the beginning. Also, the period sets and costumes were fantastic. The scenes set in 1890 and 1941 were extremely well done. After the first…

PSA for Pluto, the anime series on Netflix
—
I wouldn’t call myself an anime fanboy, but I enjoy the genre. Anime often does a good job of exploring complicated social and psychological issues. I didn’t hesitate when my wife suggested we watch Pluto, eight episodes streaming on Netflix. It has an 8.2 on IMDb, a remarkably high rating for any show, regardless of genre.…

Is It The Beginning Or The Middle? A Big Screen Rewatch Of The Original Star Wars Trilogy
I’ve mentioned before that my local cinema does something the that they call Rewind showings which give you the chance to see older films back on the big screen where they belong. Sometimes it is a first chance to see the big screen version, I only saw 2001: A Space Odyssey for the first time…
