I liked In the Shadow of the Moon better than Head Count. It started OK then it went down hill from there.

I watched Head Count over the weekend too, it wasn't terrible. But yeah, some of the acting... Just started Marianne the other night - don't watch this in a dark house. It's hard for me to get creeped out, but this thing had me looking in the shadows for glittering eyes...

In The Tall Grass: Total crap. Don’t waste your time.
PS: Sorry. I don’t know how to BOLD the title from my iPad.

I watched Fracture and dare I say I enjoyed it. Side note: I feel like there has always been a buzz around Sam Worthington, for what? I'm not sure. However, he is actually good in this movie.

Insatiable Season 2 - I liked season 1 better but it still gave me the laughs that got me hooked in the first place. The Hookup Plan Season 2 - I liked season 1 but I basically hate watched season 2. Elsa is unbearable. Marianne - First 2 episodes were scary good then the scares and build up slowly tapered down. It was beautifully shot and created an eerie atmosphere. I liked it and was impressed. El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie - Hard to say anything negative since Breaking Bad is one of the best shows of all time. It was a nice epilogue that gave us closure to Jesse. Fractured - After his wife and injured daughter disappear from the emergency room, a man becomes convinced the hospital is hiding something. Good mystery thriller! In the Tall Grass story by King and Hill - A brother and sister enter a field of tall grass to rescue a boy, but they soon realize they cannot escape and something evil lurks in the grass. It initially intrigued me but that didn't last long. The brother and sister were annoying and we got zero answers as to what the heck was going on! In Darkness - Blind pianist Sofia overhears a struggle in the apartment on the floor above her, and it leads to the death of her neighbor Veronique. This is a thriller/suspense that takes a turn but not at a fast enough pace for me. It was decent. The Autopsy of Jane Doe - When father and son coroners investigate the death of Jane Doe, crazy shit starts to happen. Thanks amy Lee for your review. It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time! One Last Thing - A man has been looking for his long lost daughter for years and finds Lucy who has a illness. It's slow paced but the story was heart felt and emotional that threw in a surprise. Cute watch. Ready to Mingle - Spanish film - After 10 years with the man she thought she'd marry breaks up with her, Ana joins a class for single women who are in search of a husband. If you can get over how over the top Ana is, you may enjoy this little movie. It's funny and cliche but the cast of the girls in her class is what kept me in. Home Is Where the Killer - Recovering from cancer, a young woman thinks she's found a friend when she rents a room from a caring ex doctor. Another lifetime like movie that does the job. AMI - A girl forms a co-dependent relationship with an artificial intelligence on her phone and goes on a murderous rampage. This is basically an episode of Black Mirror. If you hated the last season as much as I did you will appreciate this movie.

In the Tall Grass - I liked it, my husband hated it. I'd read the book a few years ago and I think that made it easier to follow, even though they changed the ending. Two Sentence Horror Stories - some were good, some were pretty dumb. At least they were short. Haunted - more short scary stories, this time supposedly real. Again, it was a mixed bag of good and dumb stuff.

Two Sentence Horror StoriesHaunted If you liked those you may like Til Death Do Us Part which are also hit or misses. It has Black Mirror vibes.

I watched Eli and it completely ended in a way I didn't expect. I hate that Netflix reminds me why a movie was direct to stream. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️

Ha, I watched Eli last night and sorta liked the ending. The last third of the movie definitely went in a direction I wasn't expecting.

I watched Interior Design Masters yesterday. I liked that the judges' critiques were based on the challenge and customer satisfaction. The show was more about the designs than the contestant drama. I hope they do another season.

I hope they do another season. I just finished watching. I liked the show. I hated the winner. The winner argued with everyone. Hated the winner's style. Wasn't impressed with any of the winner's designs. That being said, I do think a couple of folks should have gone earlier but they were very lucky being on winning teams. I hope some of the rooms, homes and businesses that were used for the competition had professionals come in later to fix anything that needed fixing.

I would not want the winner to decorate any room for me. Some of those rooms will need a makeover.

We watched 'USS Indianapolis: Men Of Courage' movie last night. Nicolas Cage stars in it. It is a true story about the attack on Pearl Harbor. We thought it was a very good movie.

Is Backdraft Part 2 worth checking out?

Living With Yourself – A man who is burned out on life and love undergoes a mysterious treatment, only to discover that he has been replaced by a better version of himself. Paul Rudd is gem who made this worth watching. His wife played by Aisling Bea was great in the show This Way Up, but for some reason I just didn’t like her as the wife in the show. I think most will like this but I wish I laughed more.
Baby season 2 – Elite high school girls position. Very good follow up to season 1. These kids are ruthless!
Better Than Us - A family on the brink of splitting up become the owners of a cutting-edge robot being sought by a corporation, homicide investigators and terrorists. What a nice surprise this series was. Keep in mind, Netflix has season 1 as 16 episodes but it was actually 2 eight episode seasons when it aired in Russia. So it does feel longer than it should. Good quality, special effects, and acting. I really liked it.

I was in hospital after surgery and spent a day binging it. I had to take a break it was too much to take in so fast. I ended up watching season 2 of Big Family Cooking Showdown just for something light. I enjoyed that quite a bit. Its no GBBO but it was fun. Now that I"m home, I'm going to finish with Unbelievable.

Rattlesnake - it was okay. I ended up yelling at the main character for doing dumb things towards the end. Daybreak - just started, but it's pretty fun so far. Sort of an apocalyptic mashup between Ferris Bueller and Mad Max.

Your description is pretty accurate, although I'd add "with a feminist twist." It was fun to see Matthew Broderick play that kind of role too.
I watched In the Shadow of the Moon earlier and am still not sure how I feel about it. It started out feeling like a regular murder mystery and turned into something very different. I liked that it wasn't what I expected.

I guess I am an old dinasaur. None of these titles are ringing bells.
I binged and finished two space series, and I watched a Will Smith movie where he was a cop with an ork partner. All of that was good enough to keep me entertained; but of course I am looking for more.

Fire In Paradise
I only got a few minutes in before I started crying. Paradise is just a few hours northeast from my hometown in California. I have friends and family who lived there....who ran that day from the fire and many evacuee's have moved here to rebuild their lives.
It was hard to watch. But important. California is burning as I type this. I just got my power restored. We were on a PSPS (public safety power shutoff) from last Saturday 6pm to Wednesday 10pm.
Heartbreaking. Horrifying. Traumatic. I can't imagine.
