Back a few months ago I saw a commercial for this miniseries, Dr. Death and knew at some point I was going to get Peacock to watch it. Well, that time has come and it was well worth a month of my life subscribing to NBC’s streaming service. The cast alone was enough to sell it for me, and of course the subject matter was intriguing, but even with just the first episode I was hooked!

Rutherford Falls Season 1
A couple of weeks ago my sister got us a Peacock subscription, so while she’s paying for it for the month, I am taking advantage of it! Somewhat high up on my watchlist was the comedy Rutherford Falls. When you’ve got Ed Helms at the lead of a show, it’s pretty much guaranteed that I’ll tune in. Not only his name was the draw though. After seeing Michael Greyeyes in a bunch of stuff this past year, he was another huge reason for me to watch, and especially in a comedic role! Let’s dive in!

I spent a lot of hours in the theater this weekend! Unfortunately, I was too busy to squeeze many more in, but I did manage to see another new one via streaming.
Read moreOne of Us is Lying – Series Review
Having just read Karen McManus’ book last year, this series adaptation of One of Us is Lying came as a bit of a surprise! Really, I only knew about it roughly a month beforehand and that was only because my issue of Entertainment Weekly told me about it! But anyways, I was really interested to see how this story adapted to the screen, and luckily, it didn’t disappoint.
Read moreLoki Season 1 Review
It’s sort of crazy to think that Loki is the third Marvel series to wrap up this year already! Right off the bat I’m going to tell you that it still doesn’t beat out WandaVision as my favorite Marvel television offering, but it’s got Tom Hiddleston’s Loki, so it’s up there. Be warned there are some spoilers ahead!

Now, I wouldn’t say any of these movies were patriotic, but the holiday weekend did provide me with more time to watch movies! So for that, I am thankful – ‘Merica!
Read moreTribeca Film Festival (At Home) – Week 1
As the world slowly starts to open back up, that means far away film festivals will once again become inaccessible to me unless I’m willing to travel and drop a lot of cash. Which, I’m not saying it’ll never happy, but for now I’m still glad to be offered a chance to partake in these awesome festivals from the comfort of my own home! Case in point: the Tribeca Film Festival! This is the first United States film festival that is taking place in person since the pandemic started, but they are still offering at home viewings of almost everything (except for No Sudden Move which I’m upset about). This festival takes place over the course of two weeks, so I’m splitting up my haul between the two, so here’s the first batch!
Read moreOld and New Movies
You know, for still being in the midst of a pandemic that keeps pushing back the release of so many films, there is still a boatload of new films to be seen! Yes, my Film Independent membership certainly helps with this, but if you look they are there. You just have to be more open to some indie titles!
Read moreTwo New Movies with Two Very Different Reactions
I think that title tells you what you’re about to read here, and unless you’ve been living under a rock, my reaction will not be all too different from the critics who have already seen these films. The other day, Netflix released Hillbilly Elegy, which was adapted from the memoir of the same name by J.D. Vance. The very next day, Hulu released the holiday romantic comedy, Happiest Season. Based on that very limited information, I’m sure your assumptions of what was good and what was bad is actually wrong!

Not much good has come out of this pandemic, so imagine my surprise when something actually awesome happens?! Film Festivals all over the world have either had to cancel or postpone, but now a large handful have caught onto the streaming bug, and this works out magically for me! Usually attended by locals or strictly critics, this change of events has given me an unseen advantage. I, just a lowly film fan, gets to watch potential Oscars films ahead of the masses!
