Wanna watch a movie?

     


I spent way, way too much time in front of the TV with the heating pad strapped to my back this Christmas break. Here are "some" of the things I watched in the 10 days of Christmas.
This doesn't count the sheer metric ton of crap I started and bailed on because I was not in the right mood to watch it.

Here are the ones I can remember over the 10 days

 Movies
Colossal - dang I thought this would be good. Anne Hathaway and Jason Sudeikis? Sure, but it is a colossal waste of time. Damn waste of celluloid to be sure. It just doesn't know if it wants to be. Is it a sci-fi flick, a drama, a comedy, a quirky fun romp or a serious whatever. It never picks a direction and runs at it but just bounces around which hobbles the whole story.  Amazon gives it a 6.2 and I give it a 2.5

 Autopsy of Jane Doe -- dumb. Not even good for a jump scare. Flimsy premise and just dumb.

 Bright - predictable but good. Better than I was expecting and left me wanting to see more of this world.

 NetherBeast Incorporated - I need to watch it again as I got distracted near the end but what I saw I liked. Hey! That's Steve from Blue's Clues!

 Starwars #7 - always good to watch but it's the same story at #4 just flashier I did go to se the new one but my daughter announced in the parking lot that she hadnt seen 7 so we went back home and watched it instead.

Office Christmas Party - ugh. Waste of time and talent

 Love the Coopers - not bad. Light and easy to digest.

 Burnt - not a huge Bradley Cooper fan but this wasn't too bad. I can see what they were going for and they almost made it.

 Bad Moms - Funny. Worth the time investment. Ending was a little trite though where everyone becomes friends but still good.

 Hardcore Henry - shite

 Religulous - I gotta watch it again. I fell asleep near the end.

 Bad Grandpa - didn't get past the 20-minute mark. I don't think being crass just to be crass is funny. A crude joke can be hilarious if used right but being crude just to be crude is dull.

 Bone Tomahawk - a good western with a horror flick sprinkled in. Kinda draggy in places but solid enough to watch again.

 Would you rather - to be honest this was I think, the 3rd time I had watched it. I just like the premise.

 Larry Crowne - I like Tom Hanks more then I dislike Julia Roberts. Not a bad movie. Kind of bland though.

 Astro Boy - wow there was a lot of talent attached to this movie. Some A level stars leant their voices to the movie. Hey at least china liked it (Japan, not so much)



Series Binged
John Claude Van Johnson - funny and actiony. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. (watched 6 Episodes/season1)

 Parks and Recreation - always good. Threw an entire Saturday at it with that damned "ok just one more" (watched about 32 Episodes)

 Breaking Bad - always good. Lost a Sunday to it. (watched about 7 episodes)

 Bullshit! - Quite informative. Lots of cursing but I liked it. completed season 1 and working on 2. (watched 13 Episodes/season1)

 7 Deadly Sins - hey it was ok for background noise. Some were rather interesting but most were included for "shock" value (watched 7 episodes)

 Black Mirror - season 4 is good! Better then season 3. (watched 4 episodes of season 4)

 Ash Vs the Evil Dead - a guilty pleasure of mine. (watched 10 episodes/season2)

 Doctor Who - spent an entire day with the Doctor before the Christmas Special which was actually not too bad this yea. (watched about 13 episodes)

Yeah I don't sleep much
