Hubby works overtime on alternate weekends last week was work week this week is home, we've been finding a few things in the free movies section of our Comcast Cable.

Yesterday afternoon it was Pixels, an Adam Sandler comedy. Not the best movie ever but gamers are my peeps and I spent quite a bit of time in arcades myself. I was a Q*bert master!

Then for something different in the evening, the recent Kenneth Branagh's version of Murder on the Orient Express.

I do love ensemble casts...

I found another great movie! Last night we watched "Foreman", that my hubby had recorded on Direct TV. It's a documentary about the life of George Foreman. It is so, so good!

Just saw the new Love and Mercy on TV tonight. It’s the story of Brian Wilson. I cried my eyes out. Love that man so much.

I've watched all the Star Trek series except Discovery - saw part of one of the early episodes and just can't get into it. My DD assures me it gets better after the time leap(?) - but I will wait that out for now.
I have DVDs of most of the Star Trek movies to watch but I also have Netflix...
Just watched "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and I've PVR'd "Prince Caspian" - never read the books so that might happen.
Watched episodes of "Mork & Mindy" - what a talented man Robin Williams was. Putting the DVDs of the series on my Christmas list.
My kids gave me "The Flintstones" tv series on DVD a couple of Christmas' ago - love that one and got my grandkids into it. I'm looking for the Christmas specials on DVD now - I have the one based on the Christmas Carol - but I know there are couple more.
Working my way thru "The Crown" and really enjoying the older movies that VISION TV is resurfacing. Watched "The King & I" and "Jailhouse Rock" (when Elvis could act)
But also reading - mostly romance novels because they are a fast read. Mostly I'd rather be quilting

We watched Little Women last night on Prime. Nice adaptation of that wonderful book.
