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)”

Schitt’s Creek Season 3

After a touching scene to end Season 2, we had high hopes for Season 3, and Schitt’s Creek delivered. While there was plenty of the Rose’s acting selfishly and demeaning their town, each of the main characters showed love and kindness for others, and grew into likable (or even lovable) people. This season each ofContinue reading “Schitt’s Creek Season 3”

What the Health (2017)

Not your typical feel good movie, What the Health delivers dire warnings about personal and environmental health from the typical Western diet, primarily from animal products, but follows it with a hopeful and positive message that all of this damage can be reversed. Eating beef, pork, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy contributes to most personalContinue reading “What the Health (2017)”

Holidate (2020)

We watched the new Netflix holiday movie and found ourselves laughing and cringing throughout the film, which had your typical Hallmark movie plot but with more adult themes and plenty of F-bombs. With the main character donning a work-from-home pajama suit for most of the movie, it felt enough like 2020 to be familiar, butContinue reading “Holidate (2020)”

Schitt’s Creek Season 2

Well Season 2 of Schitt’s Creek certainly improved in the feel good ratings, ending with a nice, heartfelt, family moment. The show took all season to make progress, beginning with a still intolerable set of characters and slowly revealing the depth and humanity in each of them. Our favorite continues to be David, but eachContinue reading “Schitt’s Creek Season 2”

Tortilla Soup

Hungry for more family love and Mexican food! Each main character goes through their struggles and surprises the family with a major life decision, and while each seems to be going away, they come back to each other in the end, as better and more complete people. The film did not spare the characters fromContinue reading “Tortilla Soup”

Remember the Titans (2000)

Oh, wow, this movie is great! Many years removed from our last viewings, we watched Remember the Titans last night for the first time together, and it was just the Feel Good medicine that we needed to help us start the last quarter of 2020. Denzel is intense but lovable, the kids outpace the adultsContinue reading “Remember the Titans (2000)”
