What an interesting and unexpected movie. Being in Gen X, I thought I had seen darn near every movie from that era. This one alluded me somehow. needless to say, the slang, clothing and hairstyles most certainly brought me back to my childhood. Ed Harris is probably the most recognizable member of this cast, and portrays the king of a troupe of renaissance fair types, but they've swapped out the noble steeds for motorcycles. The pageantry, the fanfare, and the jousting and battles are all right there. 
We soon learn that the king seems to be taking this more seriously than anyone else, and it creates a rift in the troupe. 
I very much enjoyed the action scenes, as well as the little moments in between some of the side characters. Also, be on the lookout for the writer, Stephen King, and his wife as spectators during the first gathering.
All, this was a nice surprise, And while the last act felt a bit choppy and rushed, I did appreciate Director, George Romero's style and his ability to show not tell whenever necessary.

a hell of a ride. shouldn't have worked. the odds were stacked against it. the pieces that had to line up in order to get this done were scattered to the four winds. And yet. here it is. the exact proper tone throughout. Amazing performances and an extremely deep bench of talent.

This one really holds up. Outstanding performances throughout matched with some mind-blowing special effects (especially considering the time)
Some powerful messages about love and our place in the universe.

goofy premise, kind of dumb, but REALLY entertaining!
some actors I had not seen before, which is a treat. be prepared for some gore (but hey, it's zombies)

The Marvelous Mrs Maisel brought me here. But once I started digging into her music, I realized she provided a little spark to my childhood with a few tunes featured on Schoolhouse Rock. An otherworldly voice with a name to match.

holds up beautifully. some amazing performances and incredible shots.
It's nice when the filmmakers take their time to allow us to soak up the vistas.

This movie is darn near perfect. I only wish I would have been a fan of the X-Men in my younger days so this had even more impact. Beautifully filmed, albeit intense and bloody. Highly recommended!

Very much like a book that you can't put down, I found myself zipping through each of the four episodes of Cooked and didn't want them to end. This series is a feast for the eyes and I learned a great deal about the impact of food preparation on humanity. It is humbling and a reminder to do what we can to slow down a bit and realize where our food is coming from.

The stunning visuals paired beautifully with the wonderful characters and magical storyline. I viewed it for the first time last night and it was worth the wait.

As a parent of two girls, I have been watching many of these shows and this is probably the best of the live action tween shows. There were some really funny moments in this one, specifically the battle scene with the dad and his boys where the eldest son yells, "Do it for dad!" after he gets shot by a paintball. Goofy fun. If more of these shows had that tongue-in-cheek attitude, I would be much happier.
