Last night, Gretchen and I watched "The Map of Tiny Perfect Things" on Amazon Prime. We liked it a lot. It owes (and acknowledges) a substantial debt to "Groundhog Day", but is a very different film.

If you like SF and teen romantic comedies at all, you'll likely enjoy this one.

Tonight's episode of "Agents of SHIELD" was really nicely done. I understand it was also Elizabeth Henstridge's directoral debut. She drew a good script and handled it well.

K has been threatening to bake a cake. The cake has yet to materialize, so I made brownies this evening.

Gretchen and I have now watched the first two episodes of Netflix's "Lost In Space" series.

The person who designed that planet should be shot.

Gretchen had suggested some time ago (based on my comments and online reviews) that it would be fun to rent "Shazam" and watch it. We've pretty much run out of recorded TV and it's not like we were going anywhere tonight, so we've now seen it.

It was fun. As DCU movies go, this is a good thing. We're looking forward to the next film.

And the songs were good ( Read more... )

Tonight was the last episode of Elementary.

I approve of the ending.

Gretchen and I watched the premiere of "Whiskey Cavalier" last night. It's promising. It reminds us of "Castle", in that it's a buddy cop show (more or less) with a lot of sexual tension between the two leads. And although it's in the spycraft milieu instead of homicide, the feel is similar. There's a wider trail of bodies in this series, ( Read more... )

On the spur of the moment, I decided that the least disruptive way that I was going to get to see The Last Jedi was to get up and catch the 10 AM matinee today. I went on-line, snagged one of the last seats in the theater, and headed up that way.

This is film two of the current trilogy and -- as such -- it's reminiscent in many ways of The Empire ( Read more... )
