Movie Monday

Hello! We are here again for another Movie Monday. I watched all these in June. Let's just say reading was not even on my radar in June. I truly enjoyed watching these movies. I was feeling bored on my lunch one day and I decided to start a movie. I found that over 2 days I was able to complete a movie; this made my lunch breaks more enjoyable for the time being.

On to the movies:

Survivor Caramoan ⭐⭐⭐
This was my end of my Survivor binge watching. A New Jersey native, Eddie, was on this season and I watched it strictly for that. A cast member from the previous season I watched was also on it, Brenda. It was interesting but I think my dream of watching more Survivor will be snuffed out.

Just Mercy ⭐⭐⭐⭐
When this movie came out in the theaters back in January, I was so intrigued by it. I never got a chance to see it in theaters so when I found it, I knew I had to watch it. This movie was so powerful, moving and emotional. I wanted to read the book to see how it compares to the movie.

The King of Staten Island ⭐⭐⭐.5
My parents and I watched this on Father's Day and we all really loved this. I am a fan of Pete Davidson because he has Crohn's Disease too and he does not shy away from telling people about it- mostly in a funny ways. This movie was semi-autobiographical and hilarious. For mature audiences only. 

The Circle ⭐⭐⭐
I read this book back in 2017 and I remember thinking how interesting this concept was of having your whole life online and having everything connected. Its a little scary now to think about and I feel like big brother would be truly watching you every move. I feel that is the way social media is now moving into- wearable devices that track everything under the sun. It was good movie overall. Tom Hanks plays a really creepy character.

Wish Upon a Star ⭐⭐.5
I loved this movie when I first saw it on the Disney Channel and now 24 years after its debut, I still love it. I did not realize how old this movie really is and I don't think it shows its age, that much. It's a corny and full of 90s fashion but its a great movie to zone out to.

Stick it ⭐⭐.5
Another cheesy teen movie that for what it is, its pretty solid. The gymnastic routines and flips and twists were clearly done by professionals but the visual aspects that they created were my favorite part. This is a good movie to semi-watch, semi-stare at your phone.

Takers ⭐⭐⭐
This was on my watchlist for a while and I decided to start it during my lunch last week. Besides it being a little dated, overall it was your run of the mill action movie. TI, Chris Brown and Paul Walker were among the stars in the movie. I giggled when I realized they all had flip phones. HA!

I also finished a season of a TV show too!

Season 1 of Greek. This show came out back in 2006ish on ABCFamily. I loved watching this. They made 4 season of this show but I think I actually only watched the first season when it was on TV. I loved re-watching this and catching celebrities' that had a small role. They also had hidden a lot of pop culture jokes in the show that now re-watching, I totally get them. I am already on season 2 and I cannot wait to see what happens.

What have you been watching recently?
