Movies watched

  • The Avengers: Infinity War -- I was not ready for that emotional roller coaster. 
  • Deadpool 2 -- So f*ing funny. Love it when they break the fourth wall.
  • Ready Player One -- Not as bad as I was thinking it would be, but a little too flashy.
  • The Trip -- A rewatch for us as we wanted to watch the other two movies. 
  • The Trip to Italy -- Loved this crazy film featuring two crazy guys.
  • The Trip to Spain -- Loved the final movie. So good.
  • Absolutely, Anything -- Not quite sure why this has such a low rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It's not great, but it's also not a steaming pile of garbage as the rating implies. 
  • Won't You Be My Neighbor? -- This has been on our list for awhile now. Very moving!

TV Shows watched

  • Bachelor in Paradise S5 -- So much more fun than the regular series. 
  • Legion S2 -- We're slowing making our way through the season. Only a few more episodes to go. 
  • Supernatural S5 -- Finishing the last season that I watched all the way through. 

Comments - As expected, my reading slowed down this month but I still knocked out quite a few from my shelves.
