Movies watched
- The Avengers: Infinity War -- I was not ready for that emotional roller coaster.
- Deadpool 2 -- So f*ing funny. Love it when they break the fourth wall.
- Ready Player One -- Not as bad as I was thinking it would be, but a little too flashy.
- The Trip -- A rewatch for us as we wanted to watch the other two movies.
- The Trip to Italy -- Loved this crazy film featuring two crazy guys.
- The Trip to Spain -- Loved the final movie. So good.
- Absolutely, Anything -- Not quite sure why this has such a low rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It's not great, but it's also not a steaming pile of garbage as the rating implies.
- Won't You Be My Neighbor? -- This has been on our list for awhile now. Very moving!
TV Shows watched
- Bachelor in Paradise S5 -- So much more fun than the regular series.
- Legion S2 -- We're slowing making our way through the season. Only a few more episodes to go.
- Supernatural S5 -- Finishing the last season that I watched all the way through.
Comments - As expected, my reading slowed down this month but I still knocked out quite a few from my shelves.
