Why we all need to watch Fuller House
The holidays are a tough time of year for people who do not have those beloved families we “Millenials” grew up watching like on the TV hit, Full House (1987). The show centered around a family full of love, good communication, and a laugh track, no matter what struggle they are facing. As I grow older, I realize that these TV families are not your normal, “typical” families. In fact, if you have a family like...
Malcolm on Action Movies
Hi. I’m Malcolm, a 6 year old black domestic short haired cat from the streets of Boston. I found my forever home with 2 hipster librarians and a crazy younger brother named Oscar. In case you don’t know, I’m pretty famous. I’ve been in a Baker & Taylor cat calendar (Mr. November 2017), the star of two paintings, and even a tattoo. My owners really love dressing me up and making me the stars of their...
The Spotlight: “Scary” Movies & TV
A friend and TBBC crew member asked me today, “Can you recommend a movie that really scares me?” Now, after going through all the obvious answers that we can agree upon as a society: Jaws (1975) (I was convinced Jaws could appear in a pool thanks to this movie which ruined weekly trip’s to Nanna’s pool), The Exorcist (1973), Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and Deliverance (1972). Man, the 70s were dark, huh? I...
Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert
2018. 100 minutes. unrated. available on Hulu . “The end…/Is just a little harder when brought about by friends.” Remember when movies used to air on television just once a year and it was a super special event? The Wizard of Oz, Star Wars, the Ten Commandments (which aired annually at Easter, if I recall). This practice has fallen by the wayside (no thanks to cable and the Internet). This year, NBC aired a...
Bloodline
2015-2017. 48-68 minutes. unrated. Available on Netflix. Quote: We aren’t bad people, but we did a bad thing This show was a sleeper, I never saw it coming. It wasn’t pushed to heavily, and I’ve only met a handful of folks who’ve even heard about it. If you’ve got the Netflix, though, there is no reason you shouldn’t put this on your list. It’s a dark crime drama about families, secrets,...
The Spotlight: Romantic Time Travel Movies
To balance out my love of disturbing movies, I like to partake in a few romantic comedies from time to time. Anyone who knows me knows I am a sucker for time travel movies, so when the two come together, it is irresistible. I was recently convinced to read a book just by the sentence, “It’s like Sliding Doors meets a Choose Your Own Adventure novel.” Can you guess the book? Why time travel romantic comedies? I love...
