Love: Season 3

I didn't recommend this show after the first 2 seasons, but when I learned the third would be the final season, I decided to finish it.  The show has a memorable cast, and some fine enough story lines, but I can't really say there's enough here that you "have to watch it".  If you've invested some time into the first 2 seasons, it's probably worth finishing.  Overall however, I still say pass.

The Office (UK)

After rewatching most of the US version I decided to give the UK version a 2nd chance.  I've watched the first episode once years ago, but found the accents so difficult I didn't follow through.  This time I turned on subtitles which was a huge help and watched both series 1 & 2 in about a 3 week period.  It's great.  The plot and characters are very similar to the US version, but the plot lines are completely different.  I got quite attached to the characters and was sad when it was over.  This series is darker, dirtier but equally as funny as the US show.   I'd recommend it if you're a fan of the US version. 

When We First Met

This movie is getting horrible reviews on metacritic, but my wife and I enjoyed it.  It's a mindless journey through time with an end result that is not conventional.  I had a few laughs and had no problem getting through it's much appreciated 97 minute runtime.   Recommend.

Chris Rock: Tamborine

It's an interesting introspective on what Chris Rock has been up to, turns out it's a lot of adulting.  I appreciated his personal journey through child raising, divorce and battling other personal demons.  It was indeed funny, but it goes deeper than the laughs.  Caution: 1000 F-Bombs.  Recommend.

Jurassic World

Jurassic Wold, another nostalgia play, delivers a movie that feels like it was written by a child recalling what his dad told him about the first Jurassic Park movie.  It’s just bad.  Pass.

Beauty and the Beast

This is the second live action remake of Disney animated classics, and much like The Jungle Book, it’s equally well done.  I’m all aboard the train that says Hollywood needs to quit banking on nostalgia, but at the same time, I’m a sucker for it.  The scenery (likely all CG) is beautiful, well acted and cast.  Recommend.

Concussion

Will Smith plays a Nigerian Doctor ... that's weird right?  I really didn't know much about this movie, but I enjoyed it quite a bit.  I've said it before but it's always nice to learn a little something when watching a movie.  As a football fan this film was quite informative, and if I take it all as gospel, then the NFL has a real problem on it's hands.  Of course there are two sides to every story, and I haven't done the research to see how far this film stretches to portray the NFL as the bad guy.  All that aside, it was an entertaining film with a love story mixed in for the ladies.  Recommend.
