TV Review: 11-22-63
In 2012 I read the book 11-22-63 by Stephen King. It's a book that if I was to write down my favorite books of all-time I would absolutely include this novel towards the top of that list. It's one of the rare books that I think about now four years later. I absolutely was sucked into the world that Stephen King built and am constantly thinking about going back and re-reading it. A year ago Hulu announced that they would be developing an 8-episode mini-series based on the book with James Franco starring and JJ Abrams producing.
An Unexpected New 2016 Prius
It may seem like I go through cars quickly, and the truth is if you look at my history with cars I really do. I'm not even a car person. I really don't like cars. It's one of those areas of my life that I spend a ton of time in but wish I didn't have to. When I sat down to write this post the first thing I did was develop a timeline for my car history.
Movie Review: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
I usually try to write reviews for movies/TV shows pretty quickly after consuming them. I'd rather write down my initial thoughts and not let them be swayed one way or another. However, I didn't do that with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. It's been over two weeks since Jenn and I went to Big Newport Cinema in Newport Beach and sat in their giant new recliners in their RPX theater to take in this latest superhero movie.
We Finally Saw The Book of Mormon
I cannot believe that I'm already writing about the end of our first of two season passes to go to the theater. We started out with and If/Then followed by The Illusionists, and although not part of the season pass (bought separately) we also saw The Zelda Symphony of the Goddesses. At the time of this post we've already purchased one season pass for the 16/17 season and are planning to by at least one or two more before the seasons begin.
TV Review: Love Season 1
Neither Jenn or I have ever been big Judd Apatow fans. Even some of his bigger movies like Knocked Up, 40 Year-Old Virgin, and Pineapple Express are movies we only passably enjoyed. And yet after watching the promo's for Love, a Netflix series we both were sucked in and finished the first season a couple of weeks ago.
TV Review: Downton Abbey Season 5
It's hard to imagine that we're already on the fifth season of Downton Abbey. A show that began with such intrigue and promise is already five seasons in. Let's take a step back for a second. Downton Abbey a show that's on PBS about the both the wealthiest and poorest English in the early 1900's has been one of the most popular shows over the last couple of years. On its own its quite the achievement.
