We here at the Szerlip household are big fans of Orange is the New Black. It's completely different then anything else we watch. But the show has struggled with making its main story arch compelling (I'm looking at you Piper). And I think Netflix and the producers of Orange is the New Black have finally started to hear the feedback. People love the show. Jenn and I love the show. But the shows lead characters are the least interesting parts of Orange is the New Black. And so after two seasons we started to see a shift. Much of Season 3 focused on the prisoners and the prison staff and less on Piper and her crazy mood swings.

Every year there's a movie that comes out of Sundance that ends up transcending into a bit of commercial success. We're not talking Jurassic World numbers or anything. That movie this year that received a ton of buzz out at Sundance was Me Earl and the Dying Girl. A coming of age story about a young guy (Greg) and his friendship with both Earl (his friend) and the dying girl (Rachel). The premise is right there in the title. It's about Greg and his relationship with his two friends and their impact on his life. 

Over the last couple of years I've really grown fond of the more quirky indie movies then I have the big summer blockbusters. I like movies that make me feel and think. While We're Young felt like the movie for me. It felt like a movie that would speak to where Jenn and I are in our lives. Where is that you might ask? Thinking about what the next stage is going to hold for us. Where we're going to live. If and when we are going to have kids. And trying to enjoy our youth for as long as possible.

I realize that last year I didn't write up a review for the first season of Silicon Valley. That's a shame because it was a great opening season. Silicon Valley is a 30 minute comedy on HBO from the writer of Office Space. The show has a very similar feel to the classic comedy Office Space. It's about a group of guys who are developing a new piece of compression software. 

I've been meaning to write this review for a couple of weeks now. But if you read one of my recent posts, Jenn and I have been quite busy. However on one of the weekends we were forced out of the house due to an Open House we went and saw Inside Out the latest Pixar movie at the Big Newport theater in Fashion Island. One thing to note about the Big Newport Theater its under going some renovations and now have huge loungers for seats that recline. A great way to take in a show. 

How are we already done with Season 5 of Game of Thrones? It feels like I just posted one of the trailers for the upcoming season. And yet ten weeks have passed and another amazing season of Game of Thrones is in the books. I don't even want to think about the fact that it will be almost a year until we get more Game of Thrones. Season 5 has now officially caught up with the first five books in The Song of Ice and Fire series by George R R Martin. So unless GRRM can get his sixth book out before Season 6, next year will be the first season I won't know what to expect.
