We started watching the old show Northern Exposure.  I think I only saw 2 episodes during it's original run.

We stopped watching it as everything started revolving around sex.

Ah bummer.

I watched The Lego Movie last night (2014).  Pretty certain I had never seen it before (I think I saw one of the Lego super hero movies though).  It was quite funny.  Funny hearing Liam Neeson voice Good Cop/Bad Cop.
Some of the humor would have gone completely over kids heads.  I mean "The Piece of Resistance" as opposed to "pièce de résistance"... just silly fun.

My wife and I started watching I Shouldn't Be Alive on youtube.  It's true accounts told by the survivors (with reenactments) of pretty gnarly stories.  It's pretty low budget but a very well done show.  Here's the first episode:

65


It was okay for a sci-fi/Jurassic Park type flick.

During this past week, Jesus of Nazareth (1977 tv miniseries )

Last night, Star Wars :The Despecialized version.
I had not seen this in so long. I got so used to the “special editions” that I forgot how good this was. It was almost like seeing it again for the first time back in 1978!

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back- Despecialized Edition!
 
I never did get to see this when it first came out. I didn’t see it on the big screen til the “special edition“.

Still watching Gunsmoke and on the drive to work have found the old Gunsmoke radio shows on podcast! So have been listening to those as well.

Tonight it is gonna be…

Star Wars : Return of the Jedi- Despecialized Edition!

Early this morning…

Rogue One

Snow White & The Huntsman (2012) Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth.  Actually quite a bit better than I expected.  I was convinced the Stewart could not act her way out of a paper bag but she did a pretty decent job on this.  Dark and interesting take on the Grimm fairytale. 


Bird Box Barcelona (2023) Not quite as creepy as the first film from a few years back, but still an interesting watch.  Not sure why it only has a 29% score on Rotten Tomatoes (5.3/10 on IMDB) because it was much better than that (I would have rated probably around 75%).  I believe it is originally a Spanish language film, but it was dubbed into English quite well.  Also full of capable Spanish actors that I have never heard of, but a decent story with a bit of a twist that deserves a better rating.

I can only imagine

Last of the Mohicans

I was just talking about Last of the Mohicans to someone the other day.  I really liked that movie, as well as it's soundtrack, but I haven't seen it in over a decade.

Was their only three Maze Runner movies?  I remember watching the first two with my teenage son who really liked them.  Seems like the 3rd installment to a few years to come out and he was in Army training by the time it was released.  I never saw the thrid one....makes me wonder if he ever did.

I really liked that one.  I thought the story was really good and it was well acted.  Apparently a lot of people disagreed with me.

Johnny Dangerously (1984?).  I found out the other night that neither my adult daughter nor her husband had seen this one so I made them watch it with me.  Still a lot of fun despite some bad language and sexual innuendo.  They laughed out loud a number of times, so apparently still funny with older Millennials.

Takeaways with Kirk Cameron

I just finished up season one of Star Trek:  Strange New Worlds.

I got to see Last of the Mohicans in the dollar theater before it got shut down. Absolutely loved the soundtrack so much that I got the CD.

Yes, there was only 3 movies for The Maze Runner. I know Divergent had a trilogy and Hunger Games had 4. 

Agreed, Passengers was great. A nice simple human story with a sci-fi background.

The Love Bug

Gran Turismo

Zack Snyders Justice League

Yesterday I took a page out of Staybrites book. I went and got a library card to check out some movies from the library. Since this never came to theaters and is not available on streaming , this was the only way to see it.

Basically it looks just like the theatrical release except for some stuff that got added. I had heard they did some filming for this but don’t know how much really.

I never was overly impressed with the initial release, it just seemed ok and not too bad. This was certainly a bit better.

I think the Justice League was/is only on MAX (or what was previously HBO MAX).

I have been getting fewer library movies since moving to Arizona... mostly because the library is so far away (and the selection here isn't quite as good)

The original, or the remake with Lindsey Lohan (that is still kind of old)?
