The Batman (2022): Ok so this was the first (and only) one I've seen in theaters since Ghostbusters: Afterlife in November 2021, which was a good movie but terrible overall experience because I was nervous the whole time (#covidproblems). But I'm trying to live my life AFTER Covid, and I'm glad I saw this one in theaters. It's gotten a bad rap because it's 3 HOURS long, but I can honestly say that it didn't feel that long! It's much darker than some of the other Batman adaptations, but it goes back to a rendition of Batman where he's a super-sleuth and though I didn't know that going in, I thought that was really interesting spin and very well done! And surprisingly to me, Robert Pattinson made a great (albeit broody) Batman. Blue told me that the producer had a vision of someone like Kurt Cobain in this role, and I definitely saw that coming through.
The Adam Project (2022): This one came out on Netflix earlier this month and has an all-star cast (Ryan Reynolds, Julia Garner, Mark Ruffalo, Zoe Saldana!). Sci-fi and/or saving-the-world type movies really aren't really my jam, however I loved this one! It was an interesting and new concept (thank goodness, anyone else tired of all the remakes lately?!) and Ryan Reynolds' signature deadpan humor along with his relationship to his younger self really made this work.
Kimi (2022): This was a super short film at only 90 minutes and again, a super interesting concept. Zoe Saldana was perfect in this role as an agoraphobe who works as an Alexa-esque moderator/corrector who hears a murder. The overall vibe was pretty creepy but it kept me guessing which is always a win in my book.
Just Like Heaven (2005): I randomly saw this on Netflix one night when I was looking for a rom-com I haven't seen (very hard to find as a rom-com lover!). I was surprised I'd never even heard of this one as it stars Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo, both actors I adore, and it wasn't anything ground-breaking but it was cute and I do love a good HEA!
Miss You Already (2015): We had to have at least one tearjerker, amiright?! I found this on my Hulu watch list from I don't know when and I watched it last night since it's set to expire soon. It's basically about two bffs and their journey through one of their battles with breast cancer. It was bittersweet to say the least but an honest look at how that could be.
The Woman In The House Across The Street From The Woman in the Window (2022): This was a bit ridiculous if I'm being honest, but isn't that somewhat implied by the title?! It definitely kept me engaged trying to figure out the who-dun-it in this cozy murder-mystery and the ending is set up for another season, which I would absolutely watch! Available on Netflix.
Inventing Anna (2022): My current obsession! It's about an average person who somehow makes everyone think she's some rich socialite and thereby living the high life. I've literally lost sleep watching this highly-addictive show (loosely based on actual events, I think?). I've actually put off watching the last two episodes because I really don't want it to end!! Available on Netflix.
Sweet Magnolias (S2): Some shows just wrap you up like a cozy blanket and you know exactly what to expect. This is that show for me. I love the friendships, puppy (and other... bow chica bow bow!) love, and small town charm and drama. It's a bit more dramatic and delves into heavier subject-matter than season 1, but pulls at your heartstrings even more. Available on Netflix.
Doll Face (Seasons 1 and 2): I'm not sure how I missed this one when S1 came out back in 2019 but I'm glad I finally catching up! Basically a woman in her late 20's was in a long-term relationship but now that her bf has broken up with her, she realizes she's neglected her female friendships and is now trying to get back in their good graces. Also stars Kat Dennings, whom I love :). Available on Hulu.
The Book of Boba Fett (2021): I should mention that we watch basically everything having to do with the Star Wars Universe so this went on the "must-watch" list. I enjoyed learning more about Boba Fett's background told through flashbacks, however that was also a bit confusing and I wished it the series would have gone in chronological order. I was also very happy to see some cameos from my favorites from The Mandolorian. Available on Disney+.
Up Next: I'm really (REALLY!) looking forward to Get Organized with the Home Edit coming April 1st on Netflix, and I just got Peacock+ free for 3 months through a GrubHub deal, so I've added Marry Me and Redeeming Love to my movie watch list there!
