Happy second day of August! I'm so excited we are petering into fall, ya'll. I definitely won't miss this heat of the summer, however I've been having some great movie + show marathons over here. In my last "What I've Been Watching" post from June, I was just starting a rewatch of Sex and the City. I ended up watching the entire series which was so fun. I hadn't seen any of the episodes in years and because they're so short, it's easy to fly through. It's also just feel-good comedy that always makes me laugh. I love Ms. Sammy Jo! After SATC, I've mostly been re-watching favorites but I also started The Bear which is new for me.
If you love the culinary world + cooking, it's a drama series on Hulu. I feel like it starts off a little slow but definitely picks up. It's pretty interesting and has a good progression into the second season. I've also been doing a little re-read and re-watch of all the Harry Potter books and movies. I grew up with the series and still love it all as an adult. Every few years I like to revisit the gang and this time I decided to start with reading the books and then watching each movie after. So far I've read and watched Sorcerer's Stone, read Chamber of Secrets and I'm currently reading Prisoner of Azkaban. Here's my full recap:
+10 Things I Hate About You - I've definitely been in a feel good mood with movies which for me means re-watching old favorites or some type of rom-com. 10 Things I Hate About You happens to check both of those boxes which I'm sure we can all agree on. It's just a classic, always hits + is on Hulu right now if you need a little re-watch too!
+Identity Thief - This one's a little goofy but easy + lighthearted comedy. I also love Jason Bateman and enjoy pretty much anything he is in!
+The Proposal - Ok, this is going to sound hater-ish but The Proposal ranks in the middle for me. I like it, it's cute + fun. It's never been one of my top favorite rom-coms but it's still a good time.
+Coyote Ugly - Can you tell I've been binge-watching Hulu? Lol. My sissy's been letting me use her account to watch The Bear but I've been wandering around a bit with all these other movies. I had to jump on Coyote Ugly because I couldn't tell you when the last time I watched it was. It also still hits and I love nostalgic feel it now has.
+The Bear - A little recap on The Bear- it follows Carmen who is a highly-skilled, Michelin star level chef. His culinary background and career is in fine dining, however his older brother dies and ends up leaving him with the family restaurant, a local sandwich shop in Chicago. He returns home to take over the shop and is faced with a dumpster fire of a restaurant. It is the exact opposite of what he's used to working in and the show follows the challenges he faces both in the kitchen and personally.
+Jumanji - I love Jumanji! Had to rewatch this one ASAP. We love a little adventure and this one is fun. The sequel is also up on Hulu but I don't remember ever seeing it?? I was sure I would have gone to see it in theaters but I remember nothing about it... I'll report back.
+Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - Back to where it all begins, ya'll. I've been loving every minute of re-reading the books and loved rewatching the first movie. I always think about how everyone looks so little now though, especially in the first two films. Growing up with the movies + books is definitely a different viewpoint than rewatching them as an adult but they are still just as magical!
What have you been watching lately?
