Now that it has been a few months since the release of the fourth Bridget Jones movie, I feel like I can address the elephant in the room. So, watch out for spoilers. Just a few days ago I started publishing a list of how my year in film has been going so far, and my current slotted Best Actress was Renee Zellweger for this film. That should answer any lingering questions you have ahead of spoilers as to whether or not I would recommend this. truth be told, I didn’t think the previous sequels offered much to the continued … Continue reading Bridget Jones: mad About The Boy

CBS just made the final call from their list of shows that required a decision for the fall 2025 season, and they have decided to cancel The Equalizer after five seasons. This is definitely a little surprising, since they also had in development a spinoff for LL Cool J, which they eventually did not move forward with either. I’m not terribly surprised, and I haven’t been paying attention to the future of Watson, but I hope they didn’t keep that god awful show in favor of this.

While Jason Statham seems to get a lot of unfair flack for basically playing himself in every film, Gerard Butler has also seemingly tossed away the notion of playing different versions of himself, and now just largely focuses on relatively mid-budget action films that rely on the negligible star power he apparently still offers. Since he’s already “Fallen’ three times, which feels like a lot for that franchise, we’re pivoting to a sequel to Den Of Thieves. This time, Nick (Butler) is going to get his man Donnie (O’Shea Jackson Jr.), assuming they don’t want to have another den full … Continue reading Den Of Thieves 2: Pantera

If you want to know all the shows I’m keeping up with, and generally how I rank them, this is that list. Fighting for spots this week are Andor (Disney Plus), You (Netflix), Etoile (Amazon) and Battle Camp (Netflix). WINNER: Hacks (MAX) with audio description- Hacks debuted on top, but slipped a spot after going a week without a watch. well, I’m now two episodes in, and even though the top shows are competitively excellent, hacks feels like the best thing I’m watching right now. Can it win the Emmy for comedy series? Runner Up: The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu) with … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: the Weekly Rankings

CBS has decided to not move forward with a second season of papa’s House, which makes some sense, as the show isn’t good. However, I would have recognized the talent potential, revamped the series, and found it some new writers and then tried to see if I could make a second season work. Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans jr SHOULD work as a series, and the fact that it doesn’t means the creatives on the show are failing. TV Shows Watched: You: S5E1 (Netflix) with audio description, the Connor’s: S6E5 and S6E6 (Hulu) with audio description, Devil May cry: S1E5 … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 04/26/25

You are not crazy. there was no diary yesterday. I only watched one show, which is almost a historic low for me, so rather than do a hilariously awkward version of the SSD, I just rolled that show into this day.

I totally forgot to do anything Earth Day related yesterday. What did you do to celebrate the big ass rock we all live on? Did you plant a tree? did you watch a documentary about someone planting a tree? Did you plant a tree in Minecraft? Did you watch the Minecraft movie only to be assaulted by flying popcorn and soda?
