Movies
Wonder- I was hoping to read the book before seeing this one, but it was Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, and it looked so cute that I couldn't wait. I'm not much of a crier but totally cried at the end of this one- such a sweet story!
The Shape of Water- I actually just saw this last week. I was skeptical of the storyline "A woman falls in love with a sea creature? No, thank you" but I had a long flight and it was on. I'll admit that I was wrong to wait on this- I mean, it won so many awards, it couldn't be awful right? Right. It drew me right in, and by the end I was rooting for them.
Get Out- I was nervous about this one because I'm not really into horror, but this was much more of a psychological thriller and WOW I was seriously taken back by just how well done this was. SO creepy, and definitely had me on the edge of my seat.
Movies (Coming Soon)
Ocean's 8 (June 8)
I've loved all of the Ocean movies, and I'm so excited about the all-girl, all-star cast! Especially love me some Sandra Bullock- it's been awhile since I've seen her in anything!

So curious where they going to take this story now that they've finished covering the book.

What are some your your favorite books/movies/TV/songs right now? I'm always looking for recommendations!
I share your candor about avoiding some movies (like "Get Out" and "The Shape of Water") because of their genre but then being pleasantly surprised by good art in them. I've learned not to pre-judge movies. Good review!
ReplyDeleteI'm too scared to watch Get Out! We loved Wonder.
ReplyDeleteI really need to find a way to watch Fahrenheit 451!
ReplyDeleteI really loved Get Out. And I need to see Wonder still - loved the book. I need to listen to some of these songs!!

I saw the trailer for Wonder and want to watch it. I adore Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson! It just looks like the sort of movie I'll need tissues for.
ReplyDeleteSmothered sounds like a great book.
I love Westworld!! Such a good show. Although, I have found this season to be confusing. So much that I have found myself watching each episode twice. Ha! Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't read Wonder. I do want to see the movie too because of the Julia and Owen! John Mayer makes me smile :)
ReplyDeleteI want to watch Wonder and Ocean's 8! I love the Ocean's movies!! The Shape of Water and Fahrenheit 451 look pretty good, too...
ReplyDeleteLove me some Panic! At The Disco :D
I'm looking forward to Ocean's 8, I think it looks promising! I love the Ocean's movies and honestly the last one wasn't even that great so it's not like this one has a lot to live up to. I think it'll be great!

ReplyDeleteso i had no idea what the shape of water was even about. you've sold me on it.
