Here you are stuck in your doomsday bunker.
Well here I am to help you find my picks to take your mind off CNN and the world is coming to an end coverage. So turn it off!!!!!!!!! I have 10 movies to watch and a couple wonderful books to download!!
Here are two wonderful books you must try; plus they are all grammatically correct unlike my blog.
1
DARLING ENERGY
This book is from a brand new writer named Ben Smith. The book follows a 17 year old Dylan and friend Steven and their adventures during their junior year at school. Uplifting; tender; funny; and a mystery. So good. Download from Amazon. You will not be sorry!!
2
DAISEY JONES AND THE SIX
This book from Taylor Jenkins Reid is as good as the buzz surrounding it. If you liked the film Almost Famous; or the VH1 show where they visited old bands behind the scenes, the real story, this book is for you!! You can download on Amazon. This book will be made into a short series I believe on Netflix or Amazon I think.
Now to the movies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The first three are available for home viewing just recently...then I picked films you may have missed over time. I even threw in a really good documentary in!!
1
KNIVES OUT
I expect foul play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course download my number 1 film of last year.
Highlighted by Anna De Armas as Marta Cabrera and Daniel Craig with a really bad accent (Which makes it awesome) as Benoit Blanc.
2
JoJo Rabbit
Its not a good time to be a Nazi!!
It is not what you think. Sweet, funny, touching. Just a wonderful film about two people coming together in the wake of pure evil. Also...throw in the dry humor.
3
LITTLE WOMEN 2020
It is not your mothers Little Women for sure! Gerwig took chances and it worked for the most part. Not sure still if I liked the 4th wall breaking at the end. Still with great performances by Emma Watson; Saoirse Ronan; Florence Pugh; and Laura Dern, this all works!
4
EDGE OF SEVENTEEN
Hailee Steinfeld is a star. Haley Lu Richardson is a star. Together...magic. Then throw in Woody Harrelson as the best teacher in cinema since Mr Hand!!!
Modern take on a 80's John Hughes film. Showing how living in a bubble, self absorbed kids can get caught in today. So Good!
Available on Netflix!!
5
JULIET NAKED
A very odd love story. Ethan Hawke as former rock star Tucker Carlson and Annie Platt played wonderfully by Rose Byrne are best friends on line. Things get interesting when they meet!!
Yes the humor is dry but thrown in is a story about redemption. Is it ever too late for redemption.
Free on Amazon Prime.
6
ABOUT TIME
You want star power in this wonderful, odd, sweet, funny tearjerker of a film?
How about:
Bill Nighy
Margot Robbie
Domhnall Gleeson
And of course my favorite actress Rachel McAdams
Throw in Richard Curtis did the story, same writer of Love Actually.
So odd yet so good.
Available on Netflix
7
BIG SICK
What an odd thing that worked. Yes I know another love story...BUT THIS ONE IS TRUE!!
It works because:
Great chemistry between Kumail Nanjiani and Zoe Kazan Even thought Zoe is in a coma most of the film.
Holly Hunter and Ray Romano are great.
Then throw in a underlining story of family and what it means and maybe not mean.
Available for free on Amazon Prime
8
BRITTANY RUNS A MARATHON
Jillian Bell as Brittany decides to make postive changes in her life.
Be aware that it is all not funny. Brittany is far from perfect, while she was heavy people judged her, as she loses weight she realizes she judges others. What a good story!!
Jillian Bell is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
Available for free on Amazon Prime.
9
FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY
I went in knowing nothing about wrestling or wrestling stars. I walked out thinking ..man that was good!!
Florence Pugh is so good as Saraya Knight!! 2019 was Pugh's year!!
Exciting and funny it works!! Trust me on this one!!
Available for free on Amazon Prime
10
ECHO IN THE CANYON
This is just a look at the roots of all the music that came out of Laurel Canyon in LA.
Hosted by Jakob Dylan just a fascinating story of how this small area developed so much fantasic music.
This is available on Netflix.
Well there are some pieces of entertainment to keep you busy in your bunker.
Stay safe and be smart.
From the shadows as always thanks for your time!!
