Broadchurch – A Few Thoughts
My in-laws recommended that my wife and I watch Broadchurch–we’re glad they did! Originally a British mystery series, Broadchurch is a fictional seaside town where two detectives, Hardy and Miller, must solve three brutal mysteries over the course of three seasons. David Tennant plays Hardy, a troubled detective who has moved to Broadchurch out of…

WandaVision – My First Impression
The long wait is over and the MCU streaming shows have finally arrived at Disney Plus! First up? WandaVision. Personally, the wait was well worth it. I don’t know what I expected from WandaVision, but it certainly exceeded whatever I had in mind. I’d like to initially say that the show is most delightful because…

Black Beauty (2020) – A Movie Review
Did you know Black Beauty is based on a book written by Anna Sewell and published in 1877? I sure didn’t. I remember watching a Black Beauty movie as a kid in the early 1980s. Though I don’t remember much about it, I still have fond feelings for it even to this day. When I…

Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey – A Movie Review
If you’re looking for a movie to watch as a whole family, I completely recommend Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey, available to stream on Netflix. Full of stars with excellent singing and dancing, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey is also funny, wholesome, entertaining, and full of surprisingly good special effects. I don’t want to disparage…

Lovecraft Country – A Few Thoughts
Lovecraft Country started out as a brilliant genre mashup of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, history, and social commentary. The first episode thoroughly impressed me because it mixed fantasy horror with real life horror quite effectively. The second episode seemed to be a strange break from the first, and each subsequent episode always felt a little disjointed…

The Third Day – A Few Thoughts
I wanted to like The Third Day–I really did. I stuck it out. All six hours. Kept hoping it would get better. It didn’t. The Third Day had so much going for it. Beautifully shot. Excellent locations. Charismatic acting. An interesting concept. It’s just … it didn’t make any sense to me at all. The…

The Haunting Of Bly Manor – A Few Thoughts

Cobra Kai: Seasons One and Two – A Few Thoughts
I’ll admit it: I thought it was a terrible idea when I heard YouTube planned to release an original series furthering the Karate Kid story. But, as time progressed, I heard some positive things about the show. Some were even calling it a hit. Cobra Kai, the show in question, came to Netflix a few…

HBO Max’s Harley Quinn: Seasons 1 & 2 – A Few Thoughts
I subscribed to HBO Max because I am DC Comics for life and I could not resist the Zack Snyder Justice League Director’s Cut. Okay. There, I said it. However, there have been some very welcome surprises since subscribing to HBO Max, and Harley Quinn is very much among them. Let me explain. DC Comics…

The One and Only Ivan – A Movie Review
My wife and oldest daughter adore the book that this movie is based upon, so we had to watch it on Disney Plus when it debuted this weekend. Overall, they were very happy with it. I wasn’t familiar with the story at all, so I didn’t quite know what awaited me. If you’re unfamiliar with…
