I was a big fan of the first season of Bloodline and was excited to see a 2nd season. Season 2 had a lot to live up to, and while it comes up a little short, it's still an excellent drama. Kyle Chadler is and always will be one of my favorite actors, but this dark turn is his character is not something I'm used to, Coach Taylor can't go dark!! My greatest fear is that the show does not get renewed, however Netflix is famous for finishing unfinished shows, surely they can't leave one of their own a cliff right? Recommend.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Season 2
While the concept of the show has lost some of it's "freshness" it's still a solid comedy and the jokes come so fast you better be paying attention at all times (much like the first season). Kimmy is just as likable in this season, and I found Titus funnier this time around. Recommend.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier
So, I said a couple reviews ago that I was tired of Super Hero reviews right? Now I can't stop watching them. I think now I'm all caught up on the Marvel movies on Netflix however.
Okay, so, the Winter Soldier. Wow, talk about inside baseball. These Marvel movies are getting deep. It's no longer about beating the bad guy, but that's fine with me. The Winter Soldier actually has very little to do with Bucky (The Winter Soldier) and more of an internal conflict at S.H.I.E.L.D. The action sequences are fantastic, and who doesn't like Steve Rogers (Captain America). He's fantastic, but in my opinion, Black Widow steals the show here (hence she gets the poster). The action sequences are great, the story is complex (I don't think many 7 year old's will have a clue when they go to see Cap fight) and the film is captivating from the very beginning. Recommend.

The Avengers: Age of Ultron
I thought I'd missed out on this one, but thankfully it reappeared on Netflix. I really enjoyed the first Avengers movie, with the second movie however, the whole "Whoa all these guys are all together" feeling just isn't there anymore. The first movie was so amazing because it felt like all the Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor movies were setting up this epic event. It really was a one time thing. It's still cool to see them all together, but the "wonder" just isn't there this time around. Ultron is not nearly as cool as Loki as a villain, even though James Spader does a great job in his role. I felt like this movie required a lot more knowledge of the comic books to get the most out of it. I knew most of the characters from my time with the Lego game hahah. At almost 2 and a half hours, the movie is a little long, but still worth my time, recommend.

The Call
Being "Telecommunicator' Week" it was a great time to finally watch this. Being a 911 operator definitely peaked my interest in it, and should I not hold this job, I probably wouldn't have watched it. When the movie opened with "WWE Studio's" (yes, the same as the Wrestling "league") my expectations dipped further. This movie reminded me of the bad thrillers of the 90's, like "Kiss the Girls", "Double Jeapordy" and countless others. It was okay, but not worth going into great detail about. Pass.

Ant Man
Despite becoming somewhat fatigued of Superhero movies, I gave Ant Man a spin as it's now on Netflix and I didn't want to miss it. I missed out on Avengers 2 and that still bugs me. Regardless, this one's pretty good. It's origin story isn't nearly as deep as many other superhero films, but it has that nice Marvel tone to it that keeps it fun. That is what superhero movies should be isn't it? Recommend.
Sleepwalk With Me
This "hilarious" movie came recommended to me by a trusted source, he is no longer a trusted source. I've seen this story told in many variations and in much better ways before. I did appreciate that this one didn't necessarily have the cliche happy ending, but still ... Pass.
