Movies watched

  • Justice League -- Wow that was boring... 
  • The Foreigner -- James Bond as a villain was the perfect choice. And Jackie Chan is amazing in this low-key roll. Really enjoyed this one!
  • War Dogs -- Mediocre in my opinion. I realize that it's based off of a true story, but I just didn't find it super fascinating.
  • Star Wars: The Last Jedi -- Oh so good! Star Wars isn't my number one fandom, but I do enjoy the movies. This one was just great.
  • The Mummy -- We were bored. So much exposition.
  • The Imitation Game -- We finally watched this one. So so good!
  • Rubber -- That was one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen.
  • Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle -- Arthur and I watched this one. Pretty entertaining.
  • Neighbors 2 -- Mediocre comedy. There were a few scenes but that's it.

TV Shows watched

  • The Magicians S3 -- Love love loving this season! The departures from the books really do make sense and I love all the character growth.
  • Another Period -- So dumb, but I love it!
  • Happy S1 -- Such a strange show.
  • Supernatural S3 -- Still working through this series a few episodes at a time.

Comments - Another awesome reading month! So excited that my momentum has continued through the early spring. On to April!
