This isn't for you. it's for me.
Two gangsters and the woman they love try to survive the most dangerous night of their lives. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s one wild ingredient added to the mix: a time machine. A rather fun adventure in time travel, as experience by a mob guy who unwittingly sends himself back in time to stop a murder. Everyone seems to be having fun with the settings and script and the 2 hour run time goes quickly. Buy On Amazon!
After his life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack, a brilliant but introverted CIA decoder takes matters into his own hands when his supervisors refuse to take action. A spy craft movie like many others, with the significant and interesting twist that our main spy character really has no clue what he’s doing and it’s play seriously throughout the entire flick. There’s been humorous versions of this like Get Smart or Austin Powers, but this is the first in my recent memory where there’s a matter of vengeance to be settled, the...
A burned-out paramedic tries to survive his last 24 hours on the job while training a new recruit. I’ve been seeing this all over Tik Tok and as luck would have it, it’s on Hulu/Disney, so it was readily available for me when I needed something to watch at 1am while my son was having a midnight wake session and refused to go back to sleep. “Code 3” is at times hilarious and fun, then at other times a series look behind the lives of nearly minimum wage ambulance jockeys and the lives they impact during their shifts. The humor...
I’ve been growing more and more uncertain about using CVS as my pharmacy, the insides of their stores have been getting trashier and trashier, and there’s fewer employees to stock or run a register every time I go in. The decision to use a huge multinational corporation for my prescriptions has become less and less attractive and the final straw for me was the installation of tablets to “check in” when picking up your scripts. They refuse to talk to you, to answer questions, or in some cases, even make eye contact until you stand there and tap in your...
Peter Parker is on his way to becoming a hero, but his path to get there is anything but ordinary. This was supposedly a part of the MCU, but I simply do not care for the animation style or the stories that were being told here. DNF. Buy On Amazon!
Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone. The first movie that my wife and I went to see after my son was born, his grandmother was over and offered...
After cracking the biggest case in Zootopia’s history, rookie cops Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde find themselves on the twisting trail of a great mystery when Gary De’Snake arrives and turns the animal metropolis upside down. To crack the case, Judy and Nick must go undercover to unexpected new parts of town, where their growing partnership is tested like never before. This was definitely a movie that I had on in my house, but I’m struggling to remember much about it. I watched it just a few days ago, but other than knowing it was way over packed with adorable...
The Targaryen dynasty is at the absolute apex of its power, with more than 15 dragons under their yoke. Most empires crumble from such heights. In the case of the Targaryens, their slow fall begins when King Viserys breaks with a century of tradition by naming his daughter Rhaenyra heir to the Iron Throne. But when Viserys later fathers a son, the court is shocked when Rhaenyra retains her status as his heir, and seeds of division sow friction across the realm. After the brutal first season I kept finding reasons to not watch the second one and here I...
Four misfits find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they’ll have to master this world while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve. I truly did not expect to enjoy this film as much as I did, fully expecting it to be just like every other video game adaptation: fully full of itself and missing the heart of what made the originating video game worth a movie adaptation. I was entertained from the...
In the 1950s, Elizabeth Zott’s dream of being a scientist is challenged by a society that says women belong in the domestic sphere. She accepts a job on a TV cooking show and sets out to teach a nation of overlooked housewives way more than recipes. I was hoping for a light hearted story when I first started watching this with my wife, but there are some very heavy topics covered in the first 3 episodes and it made us put the entire thing on the “maybe when we have time” list. I finally watched it solo and the end...
