Movie Monday

Happy June! I am so excited for a new month with new possibilities ahead. In May I didn't read any books again. I gave myself grace to do what I can and this month, movies were the easier for me to consume. I really liked all the movies that I  watched this month.

12 Strong ⭐⭐⭐⭐- this was such a great movie and it made it even better because it was a true story. I couldn't believe what these soldiers went through and how they accomplished what they set out to do. This kept me engaged the whole time. Such a great story and crazy that it was a 'secret' mission so when the finally came back, they didn't get any recognition until now.

The Fittest-⭐⭐⭐.5  I love watching cross fit documentaries. (there I said it,  I am such a weirdo that doesn't even participate in CrossFit but I have so much respect for these athletes) Each year they put out the documentary for the CrossFit games I get so excited. The format of the CrossFit games was completely new in 2019 and all the normal top of the class athletes were thrown off by this. It was interesting to see how the got to the fittest. The amount of training and dedication that these athletes put into this sport is ridiculous and amazing to see.

Troop Beverly Hills-⭐⭐⭐ This was one of my favorite movies growing up. I wanted to be in Troop Beverly Hills so bad as a kid! A fun and light hearted movie that is a trip down memory lane with all the 80s fashion and lingo. I still love it for all of the cheesiness after all of this time.

Center Stage- ⭐⭐.5 This movie turned 20 a few weeks ago so I had to re-watch it. I love it even more after learning they used real dancers in this movie. Now it makes sense why it looked so real and so good.

Eighth Grade-⭐⭐⭐ This faux documentary reminded me so much of how I was in eighth grade- awkward and self conscious. I thought it was really well put together and showed how hard eighth grade really is and how communication is through technology and these kids don't know a world without technology.

and for my weirdest TV obsession during quarantine:

Survivor- Season 21-⭐⭐⭐. I never have watched Survivor before and I watched it because I learned one of my favorite country musician, Chase Rice, was a contestant on it back in 2011. This was super entertaining and I found myself watching just one more episode and really rooting for the contestants. If you're wondering, Chase Rice finished 2nd this season.

There it is, my random assortment of Movies and TV shows that I watched in May. I am currently watching Survivor Season 26. I have about 5 episodes left in this season. I plan on watching another season after this one. I'm hooked on this show.
