Everything Good And Great I Saw This Past Week What I enjoyed watching this past week and where you can stream it.

Here's my Watch Diary for this past week of all the movies and TV I watched.

Check it out and let me know your thoughts on what I've seen! What do you like? Is there something you haven't seen yet?

A great way to open a horror movie is to start with a radically different kind of movie, only for that movie to be derailed by a horror movie. If your first act is a movie people would watch to the end without any fantastical elements, then you’ve really got something when the monsters show up.

My wife and I will most likely watch that soon.

Not sure if it will be before we finish Brooklyn Nine Nine or after.

Coffee & Writing Tip:

Sometimes you need to write what you don't want to get the opportunity to write what you do want.

I wrote about a team that I had no connection to for almost a year.

Then an opportunity fell into my lap to write about the team that I had been a fan of my whole life.

I had the privilege to see an early screening for WICKED last night with my wife.

WOW.

I was entertained, engaged, and emotional.

Everyone should watch this movie.

Ariana Grande is exceptional, I was blown away by her and Cynthia Erivo's performances.
