Home video – Bridgerton

Posted on by Shawshank

I watched the first episode of Bridgerton a few weeks back, and when I was finished I told Crystal about it on our nightly video call. we both then kind of blew through it.

I’ve always really liked shows set in and around this time. I fell in love with Downton Abbey, and this was just the same. I’d finish an episode and immediately wish that I could watch another one.

However, with Netflix, they always leave you wanting more. 8 episodes in season 1. As you can see they’ve officially announced a second season that will start filming spring 2021. With COVID, who know when we’ll actually see the second season, and that makes me sad.

I think I like shows like Downton, and Bridgerton, because it’s so immersive, it feels like I can just disappear into them for a while. The back stories, the costumes, the story lines, I love them all.

So let’s hope that the second season appears soon, I want to disappear into it again.

Home video – You Can’t Take The Sky From Me.

Sometimes there’s way too many choices on Netflix. So one falls back on what they like. What they remember as fun way back. So many shows and movies make me home sick.

This is a comfort movie. I’ve seen it many times. I still like it. I’m not a militant fan of FireflySerenity I don’t demand that they make another season. I enjoy it for what it is – a western in space.

I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.

X-Files – Pilot

Posted on by Shawshank

I ran to the store to get a back of chips. Before I left, Shady Acres was going to stay awake. The plan was to watch a movie. When I got back, the house was sleeping.

I didn’t want to start a movie, because I know that’s when they’d all wake up, and I’d probably have to stop the movie so they could watch something different.

So on my Google Play, I have the pilot episode of The X-Files.

I want to believe

It’s so 90s.

And I’m really enjoying it.

Home video: The Christmas Club

Posted on by Shawshank

Here’s another edition of Lockup Library Home Video. Its the Christmas season, so it’s another Hallmark movie. Hey in my defence (as bad as it is), there’s nothing on TV at 7:30 in the morning. So I usually catch the last 15 minutes of one movie, and then I can catch the whole next movie.

This weeks movie is The Christmas Club.

In all honesty, I haven’t really been paying attention to the movie, but the plot is tried and true.

Two strangers meet to help an old woman find her live savings, which by the looks of it totalled about $80 dollars. One is a dance instructor, the other, I think is in real estate. They have total chemistry. And by chemistry I mean it’s like a lab rat and a scientist type of chemistry.

She finds out that his client wants to buy her dance studio and turn it into something.

I think he’s going to surprise her by buying another building for her studio.

It’s a Christmas miracle.

ALL THE PLOTS ARE THE SAME.

Christmas in Rome

Posted on by Shawshank

This is the second post with the awesome new graphic from Crystal! I love it! I forgot to mention it on last Sunday’s post. It’s perfect for when I want to talk about what I’m watching on TV or Netflix.

So for the first ever Lockup Library Home Video. I present to you a Hallmark Channel first; a documentary on Christmas in Rome. I’ve never heard of a documentary on the Hallmark Channel. So I was excited to watch, and learn about Christmas in a different country.

Narrator: it was not a documentary on Christmas in Rome.

Welcome to Hallmark Channels Christmas in Rome. A quirky rom-com. Stating that chick from Mean Girls. In this alternate universe, fetch never happened, and she’s living in Rome as a tour guide. She gets fired and literally walks into low rent Captain America. Who’s in Rome to broker a take over deal for a factory. He hires her to show him around Rome. The fall for each other, then a miscommunication happens, then he fights to get her back.

Hallmark ending. Everyone is happy. Cue Christmas music.
