If this you would love that
I love TV. So I used to make determination on my type of day, date, buddies day, and or all three. For example, if it’s a buddy night which is 4 friends binge watching television. I would pick a series so it’s continuous. So my buddies fun night would never in. If it’s a date, than it would be a romantic comedy to lighten the mood. If it’s Halloween month, I would be ready to watch a horror movie or TV series.

Barney Stinson Fans Rejoice!
The How I Met Your Mother series created one of the most interesting characters in the history of television. The awesomely, always suited up bro named Barney Stinson captivated the hearts and minds of fans of the series. But he isn’t one of the most interesting characters because of his eye-catching, envious suits, his bro code or simply how awesome he is. He is one of the most interesting because he has a unique view of the world, specifically his cinematic tastes. Like many people, Barney was a fan of the hit nostalgia classic movie The Karate Kid. Unlike most people, however, Barney’s karate kid wasn’t Daniel LaRusso. The star of the movie in Barney’s eyes was Johnny Lawrence. If you happen to agree with Barney, then I have some great news for you. You can stop searching the depths of Netflix for your next series because I’ve got two words for you: Cobra Kai.

Singing Their Hearts Out: Watch This Show If You're Missing Julie and the Phantoms
I don't know if Netflix expected Julie and the Phantoms to become such a hit when it premiered on the streaming service in the fourth quarter of 2020. Helmed by acclaimed director (and choreographer) Kenny Ortega of High School Musical and Descendants fame, the show was based off a popular Brazilian series that showcased a talented young singer-songwriter and her three ghostly bandmates. The Netflix version is not too off the mark with each episode clocking in at about a half-hour over its first season of nine episodes. The eponymous Julie is joined by her three phantoms Luke, Alex, and Reggie—all of whom have vibrant personalities that mesh well with each other as they interact together and with Julie. Their antics on- and off-stage manage to be engaging and uplifting as they navigate their performances (usually at least one an episode) and their existential crises of the waiting afterlife.

Stalking in the Name of Love
I love to binge watch a great series! What qualifies a series to be binge worthy? Well, several factors come to mind! Suspense, unforeseen plot twists, not to mention a fascinating story line will hold my attention hostage. Dirty John did qualify, as I was hooked once watching the first episode. Created by Alexander Cunningham and centered around the life of John Meehan and Debra Newell. The show is based on a true story and illustrates the pitfalls of a love gone wrong. When curled up on my couch after a long week, I will read a brief description of the series or show before proceeding forward. Key words such as mystery, psychological thriller, strength, resilience, may activate my curiosity. Dirty John is a show that illustrates a man of many masks, who utilizes love to gain access. Deception, the foundation of this relationship enabled Debra the main target to become susceptible. Enthralled by John’s charms and consumed by innate desires for romance and love; Debra and family were propelled into a world of illusions. Dirty John introduced himself as a doctor and was not afraid to play dress up on their first date. Showing up late in scrubs and utilizing surgery as an excuse, initiated a windfall of upcoming lies. However, his dirty fingernails went unnoticed and served as one of many red flags. Dirty John, a con man preying on women with money, viewed Debra as an opportunity. This series covers quite a few themes surrounding trust, self worth, and discernment. Love, despite its infinite expressions, is utilized as a front in this case. Hence, enabling Dirty John to carry out his sordid intentions towards Debra.

If Karate, Then Viki.Com
I have always loved watching karate movies at first I would fall in love with an actual actor like Jet Li, then I would watch every movie that came out with him acting in it or that he was involved in the making of. I still can not get over the fact that he was involved in forty-seven films, six documentaries, and one music video.

So you just watched BtVS...
Finishing a good book, movie or show always leaves me feeling both satisfied and excited. I love reaching the conclusion to something I am invested in, but also find myself delighted to search for a new project to engage with. That leads to the eternal (and occasionally infernal) question: what's next?

Read Between the Script
Unlike this generation of "goldfish" like minds, I enjoy a well-thought out plot, a narrative with a powerful message and a good old-fashion anecdote that an audience can empathize with. A book I've envisioned as a movie is Gloria Naylor's, Linden Hills. It encompasses almost everything I love to read or watch on the big screen. When a wife of the present discovers the diary of another from the past, the woeful accounts of two trophy wives trapped in the same aristocratic society are unveiled. Because of the traditional obscure ideals of a cynical tyrant, he accuses his wife of adultery and makes her a prisoner in their home along with their infant son.

The Way You Make Me Feel
The other day, my 90-year old grandma called me in a panic. We share the same Prime account (which is attached to my credit card), and she accidentally bought a movie forgetting I would be footing the bill. I didn't care about the $3.99, but she was insistent upon sending me four dollars in the mail. Once I successfully dissuaded her, I asked what movie she rented. The answer: The Expendables.

Ooh, Have You Seen This?
I often find myself endlessly clicking through every imaginable streaming service on my Amazon stick in hopes of finding something amazing to watch, only to come up empty. In the end, I settle for old episodes of Friends, which, by the way, never disappoint.

Time is a Funny Thing...
Time is a funny thing, especially when it comes to movies. I can remember watching Top Gun over and over again as a kid and always siding with Tom Cruise’s character. As I’ve gotten older, I started to see things from Val Kilmer’s character’s perspective. I would start to hear myself say, “Iceman is right! Maverick is being totally irresponsible!!!” That’s one reason I’ve been re-watching movies during the pandemic. Speaking of Tom Cruise and time, if you want to see a sci-fi action version of Groundhog Day, check out Edge of Tomorrow also commonly referred to as Live, Die, Repeat for reasons that will become clear when you watch the movie.
