Don’t know what to tell you this week. Sometimes nothing in particular happens in a week (or at least nothing I’d like to talk about in an open and public forum) and that is totally fine too. Enjoy the trailers I found!
Movies
Missing Link
Laika studios always do great work, so I am going to be optimistic about this one.
UglyDolls
I am pretty sure they just made this movie to sell more toys? Kind of like they did with trolls??
The Secret Life of Pets 2
I have to admit that I haven’t watched the first movie.
The Princess Switch
Netflix is truly embracing their Hallmark movie-style content. I am down for it!
Becoming Astrid
I think this could be such a great movie about Astrid Lindgren.
Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle
I just can’t ever find myself on board with those animated animals. Didn’t with the last Jungle Book remake and not here either. But the cast is great and it doesn’t look terrible. Just the CGI …
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
I am just never really into all the western stuff …
Maine
“I need no one and it’s okay.” she said while clearly being with company and maybe even needing them a little bit. I can feel that.
Captive State
This is like a super dark movie-length version of a Doctor Who episode.
Cam
This is creepy af, but what else did I expect from the Handmaid’s Tale’s Janine?
Our Planet
Documentary of the week.
TV Shows
Deadly Class
That promo gave me 90s vibes, but it still seems legit. There are 1:1 scenes taken from the comic.
Baby
It looked very different from the Teaser and now I just think … is this an Italian version of Elite? I guess it’s the school uniforms … it’s really more like The Girlfriend Experience or something.
What have you been watching lately? Any binge-worthy discoveries? Let’s talk all about it in the comments.
so like…. have u seen Stranger Things?
also there are some really great movies out lately. have u seen the Hitman’s Bodyguard? funny as fuck.
i want to check out all of these. and they’re ALL on netflix? for fuckin free? (i mean if u have a membership). but fo’ real? netflix is fucking awesome.

Yep, I have seen Stranger Things and I don’t think The Hitman’s Bodyguard is my thing … also I don’t think it’s on Netflix everywhere haha but I am really not lacking things to watch. I am just always curious what you guys are into.

I love Stranger Things! I never thought I would in the beginning, but I totally adore it.
Uhm, unless they are trailers from Netflix specifically, I don’t think the shows or movies are on there and the ones I mentioned in the post aren’t released yet.

Thoughts:
1. Missing Link: It looks like a family pleaser.
2. Ugly Dolls: I think I’d watch this on DVD.
3. Captive State: I thought this was going to be a TV series! It’s a movie? Where have I been?
As for what I’ve been watching lately, I just finished Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (can’t wait for Season 2), binged Castlevania Season 2 over the weekend (I will await season 3 patiently), and I’m all ready for She-Ra. What’s been up with you lately?

I think Chilling Adventures of Sabrina was hit or miss with most people, more on the miss side for me. I think they could have handled a lot of topics better, it was very obvious it was done by the same people as Riverdale who claim to be woke but really aren’t.

Well, whatever people feel, I’m looking forward to the Christmas episode.

I didn’t even know there was one … hmm … but then I usually don’t like Christmas specials for anything.

I’d say “Even Doctor Who?” But then I remember the last couple Christmas specials, except The Husbands of River Song, were pretty subpar.
Yeah, they’re doing a Christmas episode. And me being me, I’m excited.
Also, would it surprise you that I would totally join the Church of Night and sign the Book of the Beast?
LikeLike
There’s actual cannibalism in that church … and they killed Harvey’s brother … and they have an elitist group of men who believe that the warlocks are superior to the witches. I am out.

Okay, I might not join the church, but I’d sign the Book. Magic!

I saw Secret Life of Pets. My daughter loved it. I thought it was just okay. I would wait for the DVD on that one. I will probably do that with all of the kids’ movies on this oen.

Me, too! I actually watch most of my movies as DVDs from my library. We don’t go to the theater very often.

Well, with me working in film distribution, I go to the theater pretty often, but I still don’t feel as compelled as I did when I was younger. I am pretty sure I had a phase where I went to the movies every week.

Missing Link: I’d watch that one, the animations look great and it looks like a lot of fun, that trailer made me smile a lot 😀
The Secret Life of Pets 2: I had no idea they were doing a second movie? I watched and really liked the first one, it was one of these fun and relaxing movie you watch on a rainy afternoon haha.I think I’ll watch that one too 😀
The Princess Switch: DEFINITELY WATCHING THAT now that’s my kind of christmas-y movie I like watching haha. It feels so weird seeing Vanessa Hudgens again…and that accent oh my god hahaha that feels even weirder haha.
I’ll never get her HSM character out of my head, but I’m ready to see her in something else, too! 🙂
Thank you for sharing all the trailers always!! ❤

I LOVE that movies like The Princess Switch are having a comeback. They are so wholesome and sweet and kind of just remind me of the early 2000s haha but I understand your association with HSM. I think most people still do haha

Yep definitely seems like they made ugly dolls to sell toys. I still haven’t watched the first secret life of pets either, although i was on my watchlist. I’m so up for the princess switch (and any other hallmark style netflix movie!) Oh yeah those CGI animals just don’t look quite right. Western stuff doesn’t do it for me either.
