Finally finished watching “A Million Little Things” (a year after it ended) and thought they did a great job with the final episodes. I was actually really emotional to watch and left me feeling sad but also hopeful. They didn’t jump the shark and pull out a crazy miracle cure for Gary, but basically let life run its course. While the show was sappy at some times, and some of the story lines were a bit contrived, The writers redeemed themselves at the end, and I am thankful for that.

Went and saw “The Beekeeper” with a friend last Thursday (note to self – in the future, go in Tuesday if possible since its 1/2 night). Have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. They story was actually pretty good, and showed how ruthless and cruel online scammers can be. They did go a little over the top (in the realms of John Wick and Reacher) where all the bad guys basically line up get picked off one at a time, by the Beekeeper who never even gets a scratch. Would have been a great movie if they would have tones things down a bit and focused more on the characters. 

Like it when I come across some interesting old pictured on the internet. Saw this the other day, and figured I would post it and give a little review

My Bodyguard was one of my favorite movies growing up. Was one of the many movies they played over and over again on HBO back in the day. Staring Chris Makepeace, Adam Baldwin, and the great Matt Dillon, it’s just a fantastic film. Here is a review from IMDB (I could not have said it better)

One of those movies you remember as a kid

‘My bodyguard’ is one of those movies–like ‘Breaking away’–that you remember long after the credits end. If you saw it as a kid like I did, the movie hit you in the gut. It is just ‘real.’ The film offers a slice of teen life that you can definitely relate to, whether you’ve been bullied or not. It includes wonderful performances all around. Chris Makepeace is really great in this movie–and so is Matt Dillon! I don’t know why it’s been rated so low–it’s a great film and I’d highly recommend it. There’s that sense of teen angst and finding your place in the world, and it resonates and works on lots of levels. All sorts of crappy movies get higher ratings, go figure!

For whatever reason, the NFL Play-Off games are just not interesting me this year. I enjoyed watching parts of them, but without the NY Giants playing, my attention was just not there. I did take some time on Saturday to try and make my own bagels. Have to admit they came out great. Serving one up with Lox and Cream Cheese and and a cold beer and I was a happy camper 

Just some random stuff for today

PEACE
