What I watched on TV in September

-

We're still in the milder months up north, so that means more time outside for me and less time with my small screen. Though I did manage to watch some great TV this month. 


Ahsoka - I loved this. Since I watched Star Wars Rebels I was probably more invested than those who haven't but overall I thought it was great. It was way too short, and I NEED a second season, but I like what I saw. Personally, I want to see more of Hera and Ezra immediately. Not showing Ezra meeting Jacen was a disappointment because I wanted to be in all my feels. 


Reservation Dogs - I did not have Elora's dad being THAT actor, but what a treat that was. I haven't watched the finale yet since I was traveling over its air date, but I'll be sad to say goodbye to my Rez dogs. 


One Piece - I cannot believe how into this I got. My son is a huge fan of the anime so we decided to watch the condensed live action version as a family and it was great. The actors were awesome, the show was ridiculous and weird and it made me care about everyone. Bring on season 2!


Who Killed Jill Dando - This was a true crime documentary I watched on Netflix. I had no idea who Jill Dando was, so this was all new and even at 3 episodes this felt so unfinished. When the 3rd episode ended, I expected another to play because it ends on such an oblivious note. I hope her family gets closure one day. 


Discussion question: Have you seen Naked Attraction on Max because oh my god, IYKYK.

    Ashoka... what a great show as I hope we have a second season while the ending was... perfect.

      I hope so too, or at least something that focuses on Hera and Ezra now that they're back together because I really need that.

Review: The Batman

-

Bruce Wayne (Robert Pattinson) has quietly been trying to make a difference as The Batman in Gotham. He can't be everywhere. He works closely with Lt Jim Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) and they face a puzzling crime by a masked murderer going by The Riddler. (Paul Dano) As the stakes get higher, they realize just how deep corruption runs in Gotham.  The Batman is first and foremost a detective story. Director Matt Reeves obviously took inspiration from films like Se7en and Zodiac when he crafted this story. S e7en is one of my all time favorite films, so that worked well for me. I loved seeing Batman and Gordon work as a team. Same with Batman and Selina. (Zoe Kravitz) They ooze chemistry. As much as I love the Nolan trilogy, Christian Bale only really had good chemistry with Maggie Gyllenhaal. Here, Pattinson and Kravitz click together instantly.  I'll admit I was worried about Pattinson as Batman. His Bruce is VERY mopey, which fits with the story. My main issue with the movie,

Thursday Movie Picks: Wedding Movies

How fitting that Wandering Through The Shelves has us start the month of June with movies about weddings. June brides are a thing, right? At least that's what people kept telling me when I got married in June. I just picked it because it was warm. To be honest, I don't like many wedding movies, so this was kind of tough, but here's a few I can tolerate. 1) Wedding Crashers This is one of my favorite comedies until the last 20 minutes or so when it falls flat on its face. But it's so hilarious and quotable before all of that, I can forgive it. Lock it up. 2) Rachel Getting Married I used this one for a pick last year but it's easily my favorite movie involving a wedding. The acting is fantastic. I 3) Corpse Bride Truth be told, I wasn't crazy about Corpse Bride, but like I said. Slim pickings in the wedding movie world for me. I'd watch this over a "classic" like My Best Friend's Wedding or Runaway Bride any day.  click th

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

-

Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child.  Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer.  Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing Bobby, and the
