Fishes N Loaves: Heaven Sent

Bill & Ted - Face the Music

Rented it from Amazon (happy to have not purchased it).  Decent enough to watch once.  Likely some inappropriate humor here and there (probably language too) but no nudity or gross vulgarity (at least none I noticed).  I wasn't nearly as good as the first film, but I actually liked it better than the second Bill and Ted offering "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey" (or as I call it, Bill & Ted Go to Hell).  Of course, as with the second film their view of "Hell" is way off base, but I don't think anyone would watch any of the three films for it's theological accuracy.

The Midnight Sky on Netflix. It sounded pretty cool but was quite dull. Had some nice visual effects and could have been an interesting story but I found it boring.

Oh yeah, I watched that a few days ago with the wife.  Was rather underwhelmed, so much so I had forgotten I even watched it.  I did enjoy the twist with the little girl he found.  But they could have easily cut 30 minutes out of the movie and not lost anything substantial (which is never a good sign).

We started a new series on Netflix called "Virgin River" last night.  It will take us a while to go through two seasons of it.

I also started the newest season of "The Expanse" on Amazon.

My wife watched a few episodes of that yesterday while I was working.  She said it was like one long Hallmark movie.  She was over half way through the 3rd episode and I said "Well it looks like you are enjoying it".  She replied with "I want to stop watching it but they keep ending each episode on a cliff-hanger and I have to start the next episode to see what happened."

Where Hope Grows

Ghosts Of War on Netflix. I love WWII movies so, knowing nothing about this, I expected to see US Soliders defeat some Nazi's. Still watching and it is a pretty odd movie. Kind of like WWII meets House On Haunted Hill. Still has an hour left and I have no idea how this will turn out. 

So much stuff to watch, so little time.

Wow, that was interesting and had a twist I never expected (first, I never expected WWII soldiers to be stuck in a haunted mansion but the last 15-20 min was totally out of left field). Decent movie.

^I saw that one too a week or so ago.  Yeah not bad but not that great either IMO.  I did appreciate the twist which while seemed a bit rushed, at least was something a little out of the ordinary and more creative than most horror flicks.

Come Away

So I got around to catching up on some Avengers movies. What did I watch? End Game. Whoops, should not have watched that one first!

Then I watched Captain America Civil War. Whoops! Should not have watched that one first! So now I am going back and trying to watch them in order. 


Before any of this, I have not seen any Marvel movies other than the first Avengers movie (which I don't remember so I will have to go back and see it) and the Spiderman movies with Tobey.

And I have never seen any of the Iron Man movies. So I take it I should start with Iron Man 3??

For now, there is no need to watch the Spider-Man movies prior to Tom Holland.  Just get a release schedule of Marvel films and watch them in their release order.  All of the Avengers movies are built on these.

Of course, by the time the NEXT Spidey movie comes out, you will need to watch both the Tobey McGuitar and Andrew Garfield movies.  The next movie will definitely explore the Spider-Verse and all three will be in the new movie finally bringing them all under the Marvel universe.

I have "Homecoming" that I bought on Blueray back in Dec of 2019 in the $5 bin at Walmart. Still haven't seen it. I did see the first Andrew Garfield movie. Gonna take some time if I tackle this mountain of Marvel!

I did just what you are doing now Mike (pretty much about a year and a half ago).  My wife said I needed to watch the second Avenger's Film but I had given up on superhero movies.  So I went to the internet and got a list of the Marvel Universe films and started ordering them from the library and digging through our DVD/Bluray collection to find most of the others.  Some of them you can certainly skip (like the 2008 Hulk movie with Ed Norton).  But make sure you see all the Captain America, Thor, Antman and Guardians of the Galaxy films (along with Iron Man 3 if you haven't already watched it). 
It was a fun ride, but I was glad when it was over.

I've only seen a handful. Ed Norton Hulk, Capt. America, Civil War, Avengers (1st), End Game and the Tobey Spidey's. When and if I start Iron Man I'll start with the first one. Forgot Guardians was Marvel so I'll have to check those out as well at some point. 

As for super hero movies I hear Michael Keaton is coming back as Batman in an upcoming Flash movie. He isn't doing a "solo" Batman movie but will be in The Flash from what I have read. I'm behind on all of the DC movies as well. I really enjoyed Superman Returns with Brandon Routh but burned out on Batman when they kept changing actors every movie so I skipped 'em.

I'm a bit behind on the DC movies myself.  I think I saw the first 3 (or possibly 4) batman movies (never saw anything with Christian Bale).  I saw the Suicide Squad movie, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and I think the Justice League movie (I think that was it...)
Never saw Batman v Superman, not going to watch Harley Quinn's movie and likely won't watch the new Wonderwoman movie (...well maybe, if the wife wants to see it).

Walk The Line (2005), such a cool biopic movie about Johnny Cash and June Carter.
