Movies watched

  • The Grinch - I took the kids to a Wednesday morning showing. Cute expansion of the book.

  • Levitated Mass - Interesting documentary about an art installation.

  • The King of Kong - J has been wanting me to watch this documentary for awhile now. I was no expecting all those twists and turns.

  • John Wick 3 - Finally got to see this one. So good! But the real stars of the movie were those dogs!

  • Shadow - The set design of this movie is just amazing. And the last 40 minutes are bananas!

  • The Nutcracker and the Four Realms - Meh… I loved the ballet interlude, but the rest of the movie seemed a bit disjointed.

TV Shows watched

  • The Boys S1 - We were concerned, but this adaptation was amazing. Can’t wait to see what they do for S2.

  • Stranger Things S3 - Loved that they amped up the horror this season.

  • Game of Thrones S2-4 - We’ve finally made it past the Red and Purple Weddings. I think we are now caught up to where we stopped watching.

  • Legion S3 - Slowly working our way through this season.

  • Wu Assassins S1 - Hmmm.. mixed feelings about this series. The action scenes are incredibly. The exposition and pacing was very off.

  • Lucifer S4 - I finally caught up and now have to wait until S5 airs.

  • The 100 S6 - Another cliffhanger ending of course.

Comments - Wow! I thought August would be a huge slowdown for my reading, but that did not happen. Instead, I had a huge reading month knocking off a ton of titles from my TBR.
