Netflix’s Bright – A Movie Review
I’ve been meaning to watch Bright since 2017. Yes, you read that correctly. For some reason, I started it last night at around 11:00 p.m. and thought I’d watch for an hour or so before going to bed. Before I knew it, the movie was over and it was 1:00 in the morning! That probably…

Da 5 Bloods – A Movie Review
With Da 5 Bloods, Spike Lee has delivered a film full of incredible performances and stunning visuals, but also a film that is inconsistent. Da 5 Bloods is a Netflix original movie. Netflix is an attractive collaborator for creators because they reportedly exert very little resistance. Spike Lee, Damien Chazelle, Martin Scorsese, Joel and Ethan…

Netflix’s The Eddy – A Few Thoughts
Though I was skeptical at first, the name Damien Chazelle initially drew me to The Eddy. You may know him from movies he directed like La La Land and First Man, which are two films I very much enjoyed. If you’re unfamiliar with the show’s premise, it features Elliot Udo, a formerly famous American jazz…

Netflix’s Unorthodox – A Few Thoughts
Have you heard of Netflix’s Unorthodox? I hand’t, either. One of my wife’s friends recommended it to her. Even though it didn’t look like my thing at all, I decided to give it a try with her. Let me tell you, this show is captivating. At just four episodes averaging about fifty minutes apiece, Unorthodox…

Code 8 – A Movie Review
Have you noticed a movie on your Netflix Top Ten list called Code 8? Know anything about it? No? I didn’t either. In fact, it wasn’t until I read an article over at Wired that I even became aware of Code 8. This movie has a fascinating history, one that prompted me to see the…

Ozark: Season Three – A Few Thoughts
No spoilers, I promise. Ozark is one of those shows that is difficult to describe. The title is both perfect and horrible because it completely throws the viewer off from the actual nature of the show, which is also what makes the title so fitting. If you’ve never seen it, the first two seasons are…

Netflix’s Sugar Rush – A Fun Family Show
If you’re looking for a fun family show, I’d like to recommend Netflix’s Sugar Rush. My youngest daughter actually discovered this show on her children’s profile. She wanted to watch it, so we thought we’d give it a shot. Turns out that the whole family loves it! The premise is pretty simple. There is a…

Mute – A Movie Review
Mute is a sequel of sorts to Moon, which you may remember I enjoyed quite a bit. Ducan Jones wrote and directed both, so it makes sense that they exist in a shared reality. I have to admit that I did not enjoy Mute nearly as much as Moon. Mute has a run-time of two…
