    My Comments: √ 04/26/2023, our place in Niagara with NS. Very good story line, has feeling. 3.5 star.. The three of us wanted to watch through the entire Spiderman series while NS is in town.

    My Comments: 04-08-2023 at our place (rented on Amazon) in Niagara with NS. Quite abstract, but we stuck with it. The story is a message for us today. Excellent acting and characters. Bale is amazing. 3.5 star.

    TMDB Rating: 63%

    My Comments: √ 04-05-2023 at our place in Niagara with NS. The original films were a trilogy set, but now this is a fourth installment, and it returns more or less to the original storyline. Worthy of the series mostly, but the previous installment was better. Fantastic chase scene. 3.5 star.

    TMDB: “The most dangerous former operative of the CIA is drawn out of hiding to uncover hidden truths about his past.”

    Watched It On: DVD

    ENJOYMENT RATING: 3.5 stars

    √ 03-30-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS). A bit choppy and awkward, but it still prevails as an iconic flick. Grant came out of retirement for this, and Kelly met Prince Rainier while filming it. Great South Of France scenery!

    My Comments: √ 03-26-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS, NS). The three of us wanted to watch through the entire Spiderman series while NS is in town. We only got to the first two this Spring of 2023. It was fun. This movie is excellent in many ways. Complex and interesting story, well made production. Green Goblin villain a bit too intense for me. 3.5 star. Original review here.

  • WandaVision

    2021, mini-series, 9 episodes

    Genre: Sci-Fi
    IMDB Rating: 8.3
    Clean Rating: 3? or 2?
    Saw It On: Disney+

    My Comments: A 9 episode mini-series with MCU characters Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch and Vision in quite the twist for Marvel/Disney. This is a creative and entertaining TV series with a lot of things that make it endearing. However, since it does deal with a witch who performs massive feats of magic, I cannot recommend this series to families that aim to respect biblical values. ENJOYMENT RATING: I give it 3.5 stars.
