I haven't done an updated "What I've Been Watching Lately" since January and I've actually been on a little bit of a movie kick. My Tuesday afternoon movie dates have become a part of my routine again during the last month or so. If you have an AMC theatre, Tuesdays are the best days to go. Right now they still have "Discount Tuesdays" where all tickets are $5-6. Let's cross our fingers they keep it around for awhile because there are so many good movies coming out soon!
One of my favorite parts of the whole experience is getting to watch the commercials, lol. When I was a kid, we would go almost every weekend and I hated the commercials! Now I live for them + seeing what all is coming out. I think it's because I don't watch much TV nowadays and so I feel like I never see trailers for what's coming out. I'll keep you posted on what I go see! Until then, here's what I've been watching lately.
WHAT I'VE BEEN WATCHING:
+ New Girl - I was looking for a lighthearted + comedic show to watch on Netflix and decided on New Girl. I've heard several people rave about it and I totally get why. It's funny, silly + heartwarming all at the same time. The show follows Zooey Deschanel's character Jess, who is on the hunt for a new apartment after breaking up with her boyfriend. She ends up moving into a loft with a group of guys. The show follows all of their lives collectively and is hilarious. The only downside is now it's leaving Netflix in a little over two weeks which is bad news for me!
+ 80 for Brady - If you're a fan of Jane Fonda and Book Club, you'll enjoy this one! It follows four best friends who are obsessed with Tom Brady to the 2017 Super Bowl. As a Falcons fan, this one is sort of crossing enemy lines for me... lol. IYKYK. Conflict of interest aside, it was a fun and lighthearted watch. Definitely cheesy but cute!
+ Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania - Okay... I'll be honest that I enjoyed watching the new Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, but I wasn't obsessed. I remember loving the first Ant Man and I may or may not have watched the sequel. I think I went in to this one having higher expectations so while it was good, I wasn't blown away. I think I was expecting more of a comedic element that I remember the first one having? I still enjoyed and if you're a fan of Marvel/superheroes, you'll enjoy watching.
+ Champions - I always enjoy Woody Harrelson so I was excited for Champions. It was really cute! Harrleson's character is a former minor-league basketball coach who ends up in a bit of trouble. To avoid jail time, he agrees to coach a Special Olympics team at a local rec center. Coaching players with various intellectual disabilities proves to be a challenge and new experience for him. Once they all get into the groove together, it leads to a rewarding experience and journey for all- Harrelson included.
