I want to use this weekly opportunity to check in with all of you! I hope quarantine life is treating you alright and that you stay home (if that is an option for you) and safe and sane. I think studios are a bit reluctant to release stuff these days, because cinemas are closed, so I am not sure how interesting this post will really be, but let’s check it out!
Movies
The Lost Husband
It looks simple enough, but sweet? Like the kind of “Safe Haven”/”Life as We Know It” stuff Duhamel used to do?
The Great
I am so into this.
The Main Event
The only experience I have with wrestling is GLOW, but okay.
Coffee & Kareem
Ed Helms and Taraji P Henson is such a funny idea for a pair to being with.
The Willoughbys
Yes, this is for me.
Survive the Night
I am just kind of over Bruce Willis thriller/action movies? Not even Chad Michael Murray as his son can raise my interest.
The Host
I think I’ll pass.
Tigertail
For some reason I thought this movie was already out just based on the name? But then I realised that I was stupid and had in reality thought of the madness that is Tiger King.
Fatima
I am really not one for religious content.
Most Dangerous Game
Didn’t I already post this?
TV Shows
Defending Jacob
Okay, my heart skipped a couple beats watching this! It’s not even my regular go to genre, but Chris Evans looks phenomenal in it. The acting is going to cause so many feels.
#blackAF
Is it copying/plagiarism if you use your own material?
Run
Still very much into the idea of this, even if it’s mostly due to Domhnall Gleeson and Phoebe Waller-Bridge being involved.
Into the Night
This took such an unexpected turn!
Survive
Every time they show more of this, it looks even creepier.
Brews Brothers
It looks so dumb, and I am not opposed to it.
Dirty John: The Betty Broderick
Oh, I thought the Dirty John series was just a limited series thing instead of an anthology-esque show.
Future Man (Season 3)
I don’t feel qualified to talk about this show.

Life and Other Disasters 
Thoughts:
1. The Great: Looks like Nicholas Hoult is going for crazy this time. Which, to be fair, is what Catherine the Great’s husband was. He also liked to dress up in Prussian uniforms, which didn’t always go well with the Russian court.
2. Survive the Night: I’ll pass.
3. The Host: See my comment for Survive the Night.
4. Into the Night: The sunrise will kill them? Color me intrigued. Reminds me of The Langoliers by Stephen King
5. Survive: I’m still trying to figure out what Quibi is.
I’m doing fine in quarantine, by the way. Thanks for asking. Got plenty to keep me occupied. I just hope whatever stories I write during this time are good ones.

I love how The Great is just giving off plain The Favourite vibes for a streaming platform haha
I also still don’t know what Quibi really is, so I can’t tell you anything about that.
Glad you are keeping busy, Rami!

Well, it’s either that or go crazier than usual. And I don’t want anyone to see that, LOL.

With two older brothers, I basically grew up with wrestling and The Main Event looks all kinds of ridiculous haha.
Defending Jacob has got to be the best trailer released this week. We all need a little more Chris Evans in our lives.

Oh yes. I’m the baby of the family and the olny thing that kept all three of us quiet-ish was wrestling. It also means I’ve been body slammed god knows how many times haha.

RIGHT!? I mean, I am easily convinced with any Chris Evans content thrown my way, but Defending Jacob looks especially good and was on no one’s radar from the looks of it.
