Movies watched

  • Geostorm -- J downloaded this just for me and my love of disaster movies. Way too much talk and not enough crazy action sequences.
  • Colossal -- This movie did not go where I thought it was going to... Interesting, just unexpected.
  • The Big Sick -- Mom and I watched this before I left Indiana. So so good. 
  • Blade Runner 2049 -- I really enjoyed this one. There were a few issues, but overall I think it was a very solid movie.
  • Kong: Skull Island -- Haha! This was my silly pick. Love some giant animals and destruction.
  • The Light Between Oceans -- I wanted to watch the movie ahead of last Sunday's book club discussion of the novel. Fairly accurate translation of the book to screen. 
  • Thor: Ragnarok -- Oh so good! I laughed at loud at some many parts (the snake story!) but it was also a great examination of the characters. 

TV Shows watched

  • The Bachelor -- Was excited to be at my mom's house when the season started. We love/hate The Bachelor!
  • People of Earth S2 -- Such a weird and twisted show. We love it!
  • The Good Place S2 -- Oh my, this show just keeps surprising me.
  • Happy S1 -- J's new pick. Very dark and twisted, but with some great scenes.
  • The Librarians S4 -- This season is a bit more sentimental than I would like, but it's our light-hearted show.

Comments - Wow! Check out those reading totals! I had no idea I would get so much reading done in January. A lot of the pages were read while still in Indiana before traveling back home. I know my reading pace will not continue, but it was nice to start the year off right. Looking forward to what February brings!
