Netflix & streaming video stuff worth watching

Bullet Train (Netflix)

Excellent! Loved this movie. I mean it’s no Schindler’s List but is highly entertaining, irreverent and funny. Sort of a funnier Kill Bill type movie. If you don’t like this movie there is something wrong with you. 5*

Bullet Train is delightful trash and I can't wait to watch it 15-20 times in the next couple years as it winds through the streaming services!

 
The Wednesday series on Netflix looks to be pretty good. Watched the 1st few episodes last night.
 

One thing I liked was the music. Paint It Black and Nothing Else Matters with just violins or cello is pretty cool.

 
Wednesday ended up being worth it. Fun little short series. Jenna Ortega kills it.

The Menu on HBO Max was also enjoyable. Quirky, strange, different black comedy. Excellent use of 1hr 45m featuring Ralph Fiennes, Anya Joy Taylor, John Leguizamo. Twisted but fun.

Oh shoot that's on HBO Max already?  Excellent! I've been meaning to watch it and didn't get a chance to hit the theaters.

Just about wrapped up with Tulsa King on Paramount+, I came in with pretty low expectations but have been pleasantly surprised.  Stallone plays an aging mobster that gets shipped out to Tulsa.  Stallone tries (and fails miserably) to be funny but the show is a mix of campy and serious.  I've been pleasantly entertained watching it and appreciate that it's a show I can just pop on and blow through a few episodes at a time.

I wouldn’t classify The Menu as theater going worthy but it’s still great for a couple hours at home.

I may have to give Tulsa King a try. My expectations are low enough that I may enjoy it also.

 
We watched The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker on Netflix. 

Details the rise and fall of Kai the hatchet wielding hitchhiker - he went viral in 2013 after he save a woman using his hatchet; then things turned real quick.

Super easy watch.  If it is not Sly in it, I probably don't watch it but even though he has played the same character in pretty much every movie ever...I still watch.

Last thing I watched with Stallone was the first Expendables movie. I laughed so hard at him "running" I couldn't watch the rest of the movie

I struggle with his face ever since he had some “work” done. He just doesn’t look right anymore. Kind of a Kenny Rogers/Joan Rivers vibe.
