What are you watching?

You,ve Got Mail.

We finished the last season (5) of Person of Interest.

I finished off Star Wars: Rebels finally.  For a cartoon, that last season was a tear jerker!

I have now begun Andor, Tales Of The Jedi, and season three of Locke & Key.

I started season 3 of The Leftovers on HBO last night (final season).  It's a really weird show.

Wolf of Snow Hollow (well acted, but lots of profanity)

28 Days Later is amazing.  Weeks was pretty lame in comparison IMO.

I thought that Wolf Of Snow Hollow flick looked good.  Other than the profanity, did you like it and would recommend it?

28 Weeks Later had a bigger budget and bigger name actors... and it blew chunks compared the 28 Days.
Just really hard to catch that "lightning in a bottle" kind of thing they had with the first film.

I really liked the Wolf Of Snow Hollow.  The Sherriff's Deputy that is leading the investigation really makes the movie (Jim Cummings).  He also directs the film.  But the character is funny and tragic at the same time, while these horrible slayings are going on in his small ski resort town.  Cumming's character has a bunch of personal challenges going on during the entire movie and it's almost as if you are going to see him have a complete mental break-down in the middle of trying to catch a werewolf. I would give it a four out of five thumps up. 

My wife and I recently watched this one and both really liked it!

I came across a channel on YouTube I will be watching a lot of these…

I thought you would enjoy that "Wolf of Snow Hollow".  Quirky film that is totally kept afloat by Jim Cumming's character in the movie.  I would enjoy seeing more movies like this where the main character doesn't have it all together, but still seems to get the job done.

I remember when those episodes aired on television (think it back in the early 90's)  River Phoenix did a great job as "Young Indy" (at least I thought so).  also kind of cool that you get to see where Indy got his "chin scar" during the epic train scene (which is really a scar that Harrison Ford has).

Crossroads: A Story of Forgiveness (based on a true story)

Started watching "The Big Bang Theory" a few nights ago (up to like episode 4 in the first season).  Was pleasantly surprised to hear my wife laugh so much as she usually doesn't like sitcoms.
Starting to wonder if it is because of the nerd jokes... and I'm an engineer, so she can relate to all the dumb science math stuff that the common (non-sciencey) person doesn't care about.

Frequency (tv, The CW, 2017, 1 season)

I recently came across this. It is based on the movie Frequency which is one of my favorites. I am only on episode 2 of 14 now. They changed just enough to keep it fresh and interesting while the core of it is the same. 

Detective Raimy Sullivan has carried around pain and resentment over her father's death for 20 years, believing NYPD Officer Frank Sullivan was corrupted during an undercover sting and got himself killed. Everything changes when she hears his voice coming from his old ham radio, somehow transmitting from 1996. Raimy tells Frank about his murder, allowing him to survive the event, but the change has tragic consequences on the present, and the two detectives must find a way to rewrite the past without destroying everyone they care about.

Harry - The Interview.

My wife was watching it, so I sat and watched the end of the interview.  Seems like a lot of bad stuff happened to him because of the press.  However, by the end of the programme I was thinking "If you want to get away from the press, don't go and write a deeply personal book, have a 6 part documentary made, and then go and do lots of interviews."

I think there are many more important things to hear about in life, rather than Harry and his relationship issues.

My wife was interested in that series, so I watched it with her.  I remembered the movie of the same name being the same premise as the movie, but with a different flair.  Overall I found the series pretty decent.

The wife and I are avoiding anything to do with Harry & Megan.  I don't know much of anyone who even remotely likes her (most think she is at least a gold digger, possibly much worse).  I also don't want to hear Harry possibly bash his family without them having the ability to defend themselves.  It seems like he already chose poorly for a wife... not sure I want to hear about other bad judgments he might have made.

I finished the last season of Locke & Key tonight.  I am going to miss that show!

I watched an interesting movie last night on Netflix called "Blood Red Sky".  German vampire film with an odd twist... instead of "Snakes on a Plane" it was "Vampire on a plane".  Worth watching once (dubbed in English), but certainly not worth repeated views IMHO.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

I fiinished up Andor.

Man, now that was GOOD Star Wars!  It will lead into Rogue One with the next season and shows the infancy of the rebellion.  There are no Jedi, and neither the Emperor or Vader are present, but their presence is strongly implied as you see the ugly side of the galaxy under the rule of the Sith and how people suffered because of that.

Dictatorships are never good for the people even in Star Wars.

I watched an odd one a few nights ago called Side Effects (2013) staring Jude Law as a psychiatrist who gives his patient a relatively new anti-depressant that leads to a somewhat strange turn of events.  Worth watching if if you like movies with twists and turns. (warning it does have nudity and some sex stuff as well as some blood and violence).
Last night I watched the Sidney Poitier classic In The Heat Of The Night (1967).

Minions: The Rise of Gru

I watched The Color Of Money the night before last with Paul Newman and Tom Cruise & Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio & Helen Shaver.  There are some small cameo roles with John Turturro, Bill Cobbs, and youngish Forest Whitaker, which I enjoyed seeing.  Lots of profanity and unnecessary nudity (but when is nudity ever necessary).  Overall, I thought it was just ok.  I expected a little better movie from Scorsese, but given that I don't care for half or more of his work I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised.  I'm also not a huge fan of Cruise (especially this era).

I finished Outlaws on Amazon and have now started season 3 of Jack Ryan.

Oh man, I completely forgot about that Outlaws show... I need to add it to my list of stuff to watch.  It looked like it might be quite entertaining.

Cowgirls and Angels

Definitely a good feelgood family movie!
