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…

Short Movie Review – The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar
Oh my word, this brings back memories! Back in my first round of college days I was an avid reader of Roald Dahl’s short story collections. I can still remember reading Someone Like You, Kiss Kiss, and Switch Bitch whilst lying on the bed in my room. I can also remember the downside of a…

How Movies And TV Can Provide Stress Relief And Help Your Mental Health
—
For as long as movies and TV have existed, people have looked to them for stress relief. It’s easy to relax a little after a long day, have a laugh with friends or procrastinate a little with a soothing thought “I always can buy thesis online…” And binge-watching a favorite show or movie can be…

You’re saying it wrong: The Benedict Cumberbatch Name Generator
Of course, the wacky people in Britland can’t be bothered to say superhero actor Benedict Cumberbatch properly. It’s too much effort and a lot more fun to get it astoundingly, satisfyingly wrong. Cumberbatch — er, Cumberbund? — seems okay with this. Say his real name enough times and you start wondering what is correct,…

Jack Reacher History – The Short And The Tall Of It
1997 saw the publication of The Killing Floor by Lee Child. It did quite well; it was nominated for five awards and won three. It started a series of twenty-six novels, so far, and around twenty novellas and short stories. To date, Lee Child has sold over a hundred million copies of his Jack…
