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…

Movie Review – Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
—
DC doesn’t disappoint. By that, I mean DC has been so consistently disappointing that I’ve come to expect their movies to be disappointing, and in that way, they don’t disappoint. Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom is a fitting end to the DCU, since the DCU is now itself, the Lost Kingdom. This will be the…

Christmas TV Special – Hannah Waddingham: Home For Christmas
Oh dear…I suppose when you have a TV series that does as well as Ted Lasso did then you are bound to want to try and spread it a bit further while you can. I’m not a football fan but I quite enjoyed the goings on at AFC Richmond…well, the first couple of seasons, anyway.…

Movie Review – The Marvels
And so we come to the 33rd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Marvels is a bit like a mini-Avengers in that it isn’t single character lead. We have a trio running things under the control of Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson); Carol Danvers (Brie Larson), Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris), and Kamala Khan (Iman…
