Midnight Mass

  Happy Friday, my friends. I spent a few days watching the spooky series on netflix : Midnight Mass. If you haven't seen it, I would recommend it. I don't want to give away any spoilers. We follow Riley Flynn coming home to Crockett Island after spending 4 years in jail. We watch as he struggles reconnecting with his family and friends; also, a new priest has come to fill in from the beloved and sick former Monsignor of St. Patrick's church. 

Here are a few things I have learned and relearned from watching the show.

1) I want to watch Mike Flanagan's ,who created Midnight Mass, other shows on netflix: The Haunting Hill house series. 

2) I never want to live on a small isolated island.

3) When the love of your life tells you to leave, you should listen to what he/she says.

4) Blind faith can be a dangerous thing.

If I say anything else, I feel it would ruin the show. I also enjoyed seeing that there was a diverse cast in the show. I am not a catholic, if you are, I am sure Midnight Mass will resonate with you on a deeper level than me.

Here is the trailer for you:

If horror films freak you out, like they do to me. Watch them in the daytime! That is my trick that helps me not have too many nightmares.

Friday Feel Good Movie: Juanita

Happy Friday. I have this huge to watch Netflix list. Finally, I decided to make time to watch Juanita. I am so happy I did. It's this wonderful feel good movie starring the always wonderful Alfre Woodward. She is a single mom and grand mom. She is tired of her life and wants to make a change. She plans to travel to somewhere. She decides to do this on the spur of the moment. I had that fantasy to run away for a bit to a town where no one knows me. Juanita actually does this!

I don't want to give the whole story away but it involves meeting a nice trucker, finding a small town to live in, a romance with a hunky chef and Blair Underwood! Blair Underwood is hilarious in this. I especially like the relationship between Alfre Woodward and Adam Beach. It's a treat to watch. Especially with everything going on, I need to see some Black Woman Joy.

A great Friday feel good movie to kick off your Summer right.

Dracula on Netflix

Happy Monday, my friends. I have something nice and juicy to kick offy our week. I finally decided to watch some Netflix for a change.Catch up on shows I have wanted to see. Sabrina, Part 3 is up next. First, I decided to watch Dracula on Netflix. OMG!!

First,it is bloody. I don't dig a lot of Blood. With Dracula,I guess it's expected. Honestly I was hooked from the first five minutes. Claes Bang who plays Count Dracula is wonderful! He is perfectly charming, roguish and amoral. You don't want to root for him at all. But you do! Of course every good hero or anti-hero must have a worthy opponent!

We have a great one in Sister Agatha (Dolly Wells). Sister Agatha plays a  dangerous game of wits with the powerful Dracula. That is part of the great fun of the series! Wondering who will get the upperhand!

Now, I don't want to say anything more to spoil the show. Everytime I knew where it was going, it surprised me. And I really liked that. If you love Vampires, then please watch. If you have already seen it, let me know in the comments. Happy watching, my friends. 🧛🏾‍♂️
