Movies watched

• 8 Bit Christmas - Entertaining for this 80s kid.

• The Harder They Fall - Absolutely amazing! And the soundtrack is killer.

• The Man Who Invented Christmas - Loved the style of this one, really made it a good movie.

• Single All the Way - Not a favorite. I didn’t feel the romantic chemistry at all.

• Love Hard - Oof. Catfishing should not be rewarded.

• A Christmas Wish - So incredibly smaltzy, but fun.

• A Muppet Christmas Carol - A family favorite and the best movie version of A Christmas Carol!

• Encanto - Watched at the theater. Loved the music. Less of a fan of the storyline. Although Bruno was great!

• Spiderman: No Way Home - Another theater movie. This was absolutely amazing!

• A Knight Before Christmas - Very silly and forgettable.

• Don’t Look Up - This one hit a little too close to the truth of the world to be enjoyable although I see what Adam McKay was doing with this movie.

• Christmas at the Castle - Really I watched for Cary Elwes who did not disappoint.

• One Royal Holiday - Love Aaron Tveit, the plot was very predictable.

TV Shows watched 

• Hit Monkey S1 - Super strange and yet I was very into it.

• The Bachelorette with Michelle - Kinda disappointed in this season although Michelle was much better than Katie.

• Below Deck S9 - Thank goodness for Eddie and Captain Lee!

• Cowboy Bebop S1 - We loved it! So sad that Netflix canceled the show.

• The Great S1 - Finally started this one and it is delightful.

• Doctor Who S13 - I don’t think this season of Doctor Who worked well at all. Too many questions, not enough answers.

• Dash and Lily S1 - My mom and I binged this in one day. Very cute little show.

• it’s Always Sunny S15 - How is this show still going and still funny?

• The Witcher S2 - Just started, but so far, it’s really good.

• Ghosts S1 (UK Version) - J binged it over Christmas, so now we are watching together. it’s good.

• Letterkenny S10 - So excited that it’s back!

• Shadow and Bone S1 - I finally started and it’s been great so far. They made Mal more of a decent human and included my favorite Crows.

Comments - I ended my reading year very strong with 23 reads! Only two of those were 5 stars, but mostly I just wanted something light and fluffy for this month. I also ended up watching a ton of media somehow and loved most of it. Here’s to 2022!
