My return to a movie theater!

I watched a whole bunch of new stuff, as well as continued some current seasons of shows, and my favorite thing I watched all month was my rewatch of Brooklyn 99. It was the first time I had done a rewatch and I forgot how hilarious that show is—I’m sad for the final season to start next month. I was really sad to see The Bold Type end, especially with only six episodes. It’s a show that I think more women in their 20’s should watch. I was satisfied with the ending and where all the characters end up—I even cried a little. As much as I love The Handmaid’s Tale and think it’s an extraordinary show, I think I’m ready for it to be done. This could have easily been the series finale and I would have been very satisfied. I have no idea where it will go next. I was surprised with how much I enjoyed Ginny and Georgia and I’m definitely excited for a season two.
Movies:
In The Heights – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Luca -⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Good on Paper – ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Plan B – ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
I FINALLY went back to a movie theater! I almost started crying, I was so excited to be back in a theater. And seeing In The Heights was the best first movie in a theater after being gone for over a year. It was a huge spectacle filled with incredible performances that just made feel good. I really loved it. A new Pixar movie receiving five stars? Such a surprise, right? No, but really, Luca was such a sweet and fun movie about friendship and found family. I went into it having only seen one trailer and not much else, but found myself instantly hooked—it really did give me all the feels. Good on Paper was a wild story, a mostly true story, that showed off the talents of Iliza Shlesinger and Ryan Hansen—despite his horrible fake teeth. The huge weak spot was Margaret Cho; her acting was truly lacking and sometimes it completely took me out of the movie.
