It doesn’t seem like the movie but there was a moment so frightening in The Princess Switch 2: Switched Again that it caused me to rethink all of these holiday movies and just in general see the darkness behind these films about the baker with doppelgängers in high places.
I don’t spoil the movie as a whole (that’s for the accent work to do) but I do spoil a blink and you’ll miss it cameo.
I didn’t miss it. Seriously it made me set up and go, “Oh no!”
So I admit I was not as big on the last season of The Crown as the first two but we got a trailer for season 4 today and oh… I’m excited all over again!
The Social Dilemma
Netflix
So I watched this documentary on the problematic (to put it lightly) nature of social media a couple of weeks ago and I wasn’t going to talk about it because I’m crazy bias. I think social media has become an absolute disaster for pretty much everything.
I’m not going to say it doesn’t have good sides like keeping families in touch but the bad at this point is outweighing it.
Teenage Bounty Hunters
Netflix
It’s like Derry Girls meets the Stephanie Plum novels and just as fun.
I originally saw this on the excellent TV Fanatic Blog and had to give it a go. I’m glad I saw the review first because the beginning was a little bumpy but in the end I speed through this series and really enjoyed it.
Summer is finally over!
I mean I’m trying to think on the bright side here in California as temps are still off the charts and movie theaters around me are still closed as well as the many other disasters my state (and life) is currently going through.
At least we still have entertainment and there’s some good stuff coming even without cinemas.
Dear Streaming Services… In association with Top Ten Tuesday I have a list of some book series that would make amazing firework worthy adaptations.
You’ll notice this isn’t 10 and I’ve probably mentioned these before but that’s how deeply I believe they should be adapted.
I knew there was a Princess Diana movie coming but I didn’t know Netflix was doing a musical version of her life which jeez I mean my first thought was just because Hamilton did it doesn’t mean everyone should try.
We got a bunch of new trailers recently including for Charlie Kaufman’s Netflix film I’m Thinking of Ending Things…
The Old Guard (Netflix)
Directed By: Gina Prince-Bythewood
Every time Merrick came on screen I was so distracted wondering why he looked so familiar and not being able to pull his name. Finally I just gave up and Googled it and turns out he was good old Dudley Dursley!
Now we know what he’s been up to!
So Margot Robbie is getting involved with the Pirates franchise which seemed like a good start to a July 4th edition of Looking Forward… (hm I made it editions now which usually calls for consistency so we’ll see how that goes!)
