Weekend Roundup: Musings on the first half of Daredevil season 2

My hubby and I usually would spend 15-20 minutes just browsing iTunes and Netflix and agonize over what to watch. So we're sure glad Daredevil Season 2 dropped on Netflix last Friday, as we know what we'll be bingeing on all weekend. But our extent of 'binging' is actually just 3 episodes a day, so we're only about …

10 Things I love about Netflix’s Jessica Jones

I finally finished Jessica Jones a couple of weeks ago, nearly 3 months after we fired up the first episode. But hey, better late than never right? I was hoping to finish my post on this series before Daredevil season 2 comes out tonight (Friday 3/18), well it comes pretty darn close! Before I get to my …

Musings on the first trailer of the new Ben-Hur (2016)

Most of you who've read my blog for a while knows I'm a huge fan of the 1959 Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. I've listed it as one of the films that have defined me and one of my three favorite Oscar-winning films of all time. That epic masterpiece that won the most awards in its …

How's your weekend everyone? Well, it's another warm weekend so I spent most of Saturday outside w/ hubby.

FlixChatter Review: 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

Talk about a “sequel” that no one saw it coming huh? I don’t believe anyone except the filmmakers and studio folks knew that this movie even existed before the trailer was shown a couple of months ago. A sort of “blood relative” to the 2008 found footage Cloverfield, this new movie is more of a …

Music Break: the music of Joy Division performed by Sam Riley in CONTROL (2007)

It's been nearly a month since I saw this rock biopic, but I'm still haunted by Control. I mentioned in this post that no other film affected me quite like this one.
