I had heard a lot of iffy reviews about Iron Fist, but was willing to try it out myself. There were elements I liked. For example, the mix of Danny’s childish innocence and warrior fierceness, the complexity of the villains, and the story was interesting. I didn’t love it, but I will check out the […]

I loved Daredevil season one. It is a much darker and more violent show than I normally watch. However, the villains’ stories are so compelling I couldn’t stop. So I was excited to watch season 2, and unfortunately disappointed. I didn’t like season two nearly as much, and, honestly, I found the constant preaching of […]

First let me say how delighted I am to find foreign language films and shows within Netflix Original Series. So my first glorious find is Samurai Gourmet. It’s about a Japanese man, Kasumi, who has retired from corporate life and now has to figure out how to live. When unsure of what to do, he […]

I frequently write with the TV on. After years of being constantly surrounded by kids, I honestly fall asleep if things are too quiet. Quiet is for bedtime. I just finished watching all three season of the Great British Bake Off. I had no idea there are six kinds of pastry! So after that, Netflix […]

BBC Crime Drama: Yes, please. Tom Conti: Yes. Samantha Bond: Oh, hell yes. So far this show has everything I want. Excitedly I watched it and was instantly drawn in. The chemistry between Tom Conti and Samantha Bond was amazing. And then it fell flat. It was as if the power of the show came […]

My new apartment is furnished in mostly IKEA, which means I put together quite a bit of IKEA. I am normally not great at putting together stuff. Yes, I needed to go slow and even re-do a few things, but all in all I found the directions easy to follow. I enjoyed putting together IKEA. […]

I am up for any Simon Pegg movie, which is what led me to KILL ME THREE TIMES. It’s an odd dark comedy. I’m not sure if I’ll watch it again. It was darker than I like. Anyway, Simon Pegg is a hitman who is having a very, very, very bad day. But not quite […]

I shared an ad some friends and I had found on Craigslist with my daughter. I thought it was funny, she was less amused. Me: Tala there is a guy advertising for a live-in maid and “maybe more, if you’re open minded”. Tala: Mom, no just no, you can’t take that job. Me, surprised she […]

Netflix has some really fun, original shows and movies available. One I really enjoyed is TRUE MEMIORS OF AN INTERNATIONAL ASSASIN. This movie was funny and silly and showed a crazy side of an author’s mind. Kevin James plays a hopeful author who imagines the things he’d want to do or say in grand and […]

I have missed blogging. This past year has been beyond crazy! I left my job of 10 years (where my family and I lived), which meant moving, and my hubby and I decided to live separately. So, yes, please, let’s do ALL the stress. LOL I am good now, I have an apartment. After not […]
