I finished watching this series on Friday night. I started watching it again from the beginning after that. It's that amazing.

2. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit

I'm not a huge fan of high pressure intense action movies, but I am a fan of Chris Pine.

3. 7th Heaven

I've been watching some of the early episodes, total blast from the past. I spent entire summers watching 7th Heaven.

4. Parenthood

After finishing Numb3rs, my family started watching Parenthood. The Bravermans make the Camdens  look drama free.

5. The Great Gatsby (1974)

I LOVED this adaptation of one of my all time favorite books! For the most part, I feel like they did the book justice, and the acting was on point. I'd take Robert Redford over Leonardo DiCaprio any day.

6. Howl

I was very disappointed with this one. I'm not familiar with Allen Ginsberg's poetry, but from what I read on Poetry Foundation before watching, I had high hopes. The animation and court scenes didn't mesh and it didn't really didn't do anything for me.

7. Stuck In Love

This is one of my favorite movies! Mostly because I love movies about writers and I love Logan Lerman.

8. Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters

Meh. The Grimm brothers are rolling in their graves. But if you're not thinking about how WILDLY inaccurate this is, both historically and the original fairy tale, it's a good enough thriller.
