PS-- can't wait for the next MI movie. It's coming out in July!
Happy Memorial Day, friends! I hope you spent today and the weekend relaxing with your loved ones. It poured down rain for most of the weekend here so the fam and I went to see Kandahar at the movies this afternoon. It's actually my third time going to the movies over the last month or so which is unusual. I normally only make it there every once in awhile so it's been nice to go more often.
WHAT I'VE BEEN WATCHING:
+Air - This one was so good, ya'll. If you haven't heard of Air, it tells the story of Nike's partnership with Michael Jordan and the creation of the "Air Jordan" line. I'm sure we all know of both Nike and MJ, however if you're like me, you might not know much about the history behind the brand and partnership. I didn't know what to expect but came out loving the film-- it was significant, humorous, heartfelt and just a great snapshot of history. Whether you're a big sports fan or not, it's definitely worth a watch.
+Book Club: The Next Chapter - We took my mom to see Book Club: Next Chapter for Mother's Day and everyone loved it! It follows the original Book Club cast featuring four best friends whose connection over books intermingles and provides significance into their daily lives. The sequel brings the club on a girls trip to Italy for a bachelorette trip full of drama, fun, old flames + more. It was hilariously funny, sweet and endearing. A great movie with themes of friendship, love and growth.
+Kandahar - A very Gerald Butler film featuring... Gerald Butler! Lol, I love his movies. If you're also a fan and enjoy action films, this one was pretty good. His character is a CIA agent on an undercover mission in the Middle East. His cover gets blown, making him a direct target in the middle of a hostile situation. It leads to a a man-hunt where he must fight off his enemies while trying to reach a military base for extraction out of Afghanistan. While not my favorite of his, I enjoyed the storyline and stayed engaged.
I’ve also still been itching to get back into another new show but nothing has been inspiring me lately… one thing I was stoked about was Netflix adding the entire Harry Potter collection online until I learned it was for the UK platform only 😭 Definitely a heartbreaker, ya'll-- I was ready and waiting for a full re-watch marathon! Now it’s still preying on my mind and all I want to do is re-watch them all, lol.
I'm at the point now where I’m debating on signing up for HBO Max just to watch them, hehe. Does anyone have it? I’ve always loved the HBO original shows too so I’m definitely tempted!
What have you been watching lately? I need your recs!!
