TV and Film

I need to subscribe to Netflix.

We've started watching The Acolyte. Not sure just yet about it, but the first two episodes were entertaining.

I keep forgetting Doctor Who is new on Fridays - probably because this season isn't snagging me as much as previous ones did. I did like the 1813 costumes, though, for the most recent episode. Regency dresses are so cool!

The Chosen is also back, and I'm enjoying it. Yesterday's episode ended with a tough bit plotwise, and I'm interested to see what's next.

Also, I watched Maid in Manhattan last night. Still love that one!

I loved the theme song for that.

I also really enjoyed the first season, but it went progressively downhill after that.

I loved the most recent Doctor Who episode! This is what I've been wanting all season... Excited for the next one.

Also enjoying The Chosen, and I found Home Fires from the PBS App last night (based on a book called Jambusters). Oh, and I've started watching the 2023 season of Neighbours - partly for the Australian accents!

We are still watching car crash tv by way of Married At First Sight.

It's amazing how often we listen to 'the experts' choosing the perfect partners and we say "That's a match that will fail." and guess what............

We've watched more Star Trek: TNG lately: Time's Arrow, and then we went back a couple seasons to see Best of Both Worlds. Good stories, and good examples of two-parters!

I also watched Jonah, a stage musical from Sight & Sound that I have on DVD. Thought since I'd just read the book, it was time for the show!

Looking forward to Doctor Who this weekend (gotta have the hockey game first, though) and a new episode of The Chosen on Sunday.

I have just dled the S02 E01 of the House of Dragon. Any good?

Orphan Black: Echoes comes out on 6/23/2024, I think.

I liked Orphan Black.

We are currently watching a Netflix documentary about America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

This is the training programme to find the 36 representatives for the 2023 season.

We had no idea the competition was so tough.  The program is in 7 episodes, and the final cut from 96 women down to 36 is done with about a week in advance of the first live football game.  It inevitably causes great emotional distress for both the dance co-ordinator and the cheerleader being cut at that final interview.  They are literally ending the dream for that season, although they can apply for the following season.

We are really enjoying it.

I started watching Chesapeake Shores last night after I found it on PlutoTV. It reminded me how much I liked the books, and I think it might be a fun watch. Also filmed in Canada!

Tonight or tomorrow, I'll watch Twister. Refreshing my memory for the new movie, which I should be seeing in the theatre. I might be a weirdo, but I love natural disaster movies.

We started "Earth Star Voyager" today, a Disney TV miniseries from 1988. I've always loved it, and so far the kids are interested.

I have totally thought that myself. I enjoy these movies because I've never had to deal with that sort of stuff myself. Closest was probably a tornado watch once, when I lived in Eastern Canada.

That's a cute one.
