Finally, a new movie. This was available on streaming, so I didn’t have to wait for it. While entertaining, it didn’t have much going on the cerebral department. Had Brad Pitt not been in it, I doubt I would have watched. But if action/comedy is your thing, you’ll probably like it.
My rating: 3/5
This movie wasn’t as good as I remembered. It must have been the ambiance that got me the first time. We used to go to First Fridays at the Westwood Plaza Theatre, where they’d show an atypical movie and have a band play afterwards. Plus, you could take booze. Those were the days–it was a lot of fun!
We saw this movie at a First Friday. And, I can’t remember, but Brian’s band (including me) might have played afterward. They played at one of them, and this seems like an appropriate movie, but it could have been something else–Scream, maybe? It was such a long time ago…
Anyway, I think I’ve had my fill of David Lynch, though I am still planning on rewatching Mullholland Drive at some point.
I’ve been rewatching a lot of old stuff lately and was hoping to catch something new, but nothing in my DVD queue was available. So, here we are.
My rating: 3/5 (for the memories)
I’m on an entertainment roll lately. Apparently all I do is watch tv and movies and read books. And, that’s not too far from the truth.
This book took me forever to read, but once I started nearing the two month mark, I made an effort to finish it. I’m a little past the Hunger Games at this point, which was part of the problem. The story was interesting, so I’m not sure why it took me so long. It was about Coriolanus Snow when he was high school age. I guess you could say that it showed how he became the person he was in the rest of the series. But, his personality kind of took a convenient abrupt turn at the end of the book.
My rating: 3.5/5
This movie wasn’t as good the second time around because the plot twist was so good. But, when you know it’s coming, it doesn’t have the same effect. It was still a great story, though anytime I see Kevin Spacey in things anymore, it makes me cringe.
My rating: 4/5
I really enjoyed this show. Season 1 was fantastic, 2 was a bit convoluted, and 3 was sad. It starred Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini who end up becoming best friends through a grief support group. There’s a lot more to the story than that, but I don’t want to give anything away.
Season 3 was delayed due to Christina Applegate’s MS diagnosis. She’s having a lot of mobility issues and it was interesting to see how they handled that on the show. I might not have noticed that most of her scenes had her sitting down or just standing had I not read about that beforehand.
The final season had Katey Sagal as Linda Cardellini’s mom. It always makes me happy to see her on shows.
My rating: 4/5
