We watched My Octopus Teacher while exercising, as a way of sharing an experience and distracting from the workout, and this film delivered. While I can’t say that I ever fully connected to the filmmaker/narrator, the octopus stole the show and our hearts. The underwater footage is breathtaking and the capabilities of this tiny octopusContinue reading “My Octopus Teacher (2020)”

The Secret: Dare To Dream (2020)
This movie was…unexpectedly enjoyable. We didn’t really know what to think about a movie produced from The Secret organization, but Katie Holmes was pretty good as a single mom trying to hold things together, the children really make the movie fun and lovable, and the underlying “you can do anything you believe in” message reallyContinue reading “The Secret: Dare To Dream (2020)”
The Dawn Wall (2017)
A coworker assigned us “homework” for this weekend, watch The Dawn Wall and find out about Tommy Caldwell. We did and it was awesome. Tommy’s story was a roller coaster, from his childhood to instant fame, an international hostage situation, huge professional success followed by a personal relationship breakdown, to finally conquering his obsession. ThisContinue reading “The Dawn Wall (2017)”
Nappily Ever After (2018)
When Netflix said this was a 57% match for us, I knew that their algorithm was missing something. This movie fit us perfectly, as the main character Violet grows throughout the movie after EPICLY hitting rock bottom at the end of a drunken escapade. Her new love interest has the cutest young girl, and theContinue reading “Nappily Ever After (2018)”
Stargirl (2020)
Grace VanderWaal is Stargirl, and she inspired the characters and the audience to dream big, do better, and find ourselves in this cute teenage story. From the perspective of a introverted “Michael Cera” type teenager, we see Stargirl enter public schools for the first time and immediately change the course of life in this smallContinue reading “Stargirl (2020)”
Superintelligence (2020)
An entity that began as a learning toy has taken control of the world’s technology and threatens the end of humanity unless a successful rom-com emerges. Melissa McCarthy was hilarious and the superintelligence uses James Cordon’s voice and likeness to add to the ridiculous situations. Funny and light, the movie follows the rom-con script, itContinue reading “Superintelligence (2020)”
I Am Woman (2019)
We first saw the teaser on Netflix for I Am Woman a few months ago and instantly added it to our list, but it was relegated due to the holidays and a few other series we had queued up. Knowing nothing about Helen Reddy before going in, we were instantly intrigued and hooked on theContinue reading “I Am Woman (2019)”
Dash & Lily (2020)
A sweet series on Netflix featuring a scavenger hunt love story with all the typical rom com ingredients, it has many good feels through the first half, and wraps things up nicely. If this were a movie, the sad parts would have been forgotten quickly, but with this episodic format we went to bed afterContinue reading “Dash & Lily (2020)”
Happiest Season
Well on the surface this movie barely qualifies as feel good, but after we talked a bit we realized that the movie lives in the angst of its characters, and only relents for the last few minutes. Having spent the last two weeks watching Schitt’s Creek seasons 3-5, we were elated to see “David” inContinue reading “Happiest Season”
Enola Holmes (2020)
Our first date night in quite a while turned out to be wine and a movie in the basement, and we chose the new Netflix movie Enola Holmes, starring our favorite actress from Stranger Things Millie Bobby Brown. The film turned out to be a wonderful mix of a coming of age story and aContinue reading “Enola Holmes (2020)”
