| 3 | Famous Last Words: Eric Dane | Documentary | Netflix | 2026/02 |
| M | This is an intimate interview series where cultural icons reflect on their "recent" deaths in a private setting. The talks remain confidential and are released only after the participant's death, preserving their final words for the audience. | |||
| 3 | Breakdown: 1975 | Documentary | Netflix | 2026/02 |
| M | Watched this documentary by myself. Many of the news stories resonated for me since I was a teenager in high school around that time. | |||
| 2.5 | Missing the Boat | Drama, Romance | Netflix | 2026/02 |
| Y | Two Hallmark movie on Netflix in one day. This one was a little more silly. Felt like we saw another movie recently where people missed getting back to the boat on time. | |||
| 3 | Because of Cupid | Drama, Romance | Netflix | 2026/02 |
| Y | Lighthearted Hallmark movie on Netflix. Enjoyed the characters and rolled with the silly premise. | |||
| 3.5 | The Kissing Booth | Romance, Comedy, Teen Drama | Netflix | 2026/02 |
| Y | We were looking for something light to watch on Valentine's day. Had never seen this 2018 movie and the trailer looked okay. The movie reminded us of "The Summer I Turned Pretty" show. The age difference between some of the high school students seemed pretty extreme. It was a decent movie which spawned two sequels. | |||
| 3.5 | Spinal Tap II: The End Continues | Mockumentary, Comedy | HBO | 2026/02 |
| Y | The movie was better than I expected, given it was a sequel to a movie from 40 years ago. The main characters played well as aging rockers in the pretend band. There were a few cameos in the movie that were a pleasant surprise. The final concert scene in the movie was a bit much. Sad that this was Rob Reiner's last movie due to his tragic death in December 2025. | |||
| 3 | Jay Kelly | Comedy, Drama | Netflix | 2026/02 |
| M | Watched this after hearing about it on the Golden Globes. George Clooney seems to play a version of himself or similar Hollywood movie star. Adam Sandler was good as his manager. Some of the movie was interesting but there were a number of frustrating scenes too, hence the maybe recommendation. | |||
| 3 | Mercy | Cyber Thriller, Mystery, Whodunnit | Amazon | 2026/01 |
| Y | Set in the near future, a detective accused of murdering his wife has 90 minutes to prove his innocence to an advanced AI judge. Some aspects of the movie reminded me of Minority Report. The movie takes place in "real time" with a countdown clock running the whole time. | |||
| 3 | Veronica Mars | Teen drama, Crime, Thriller | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| M | Creating a single entry for this TV show that started in 2004, ran for three seasons then had a fourth in 2019. The first two seasons took place in high school. It was early in Kristen Bell's career. The show was entertaining although often unbelievable. The third season took place in college and was not as good. The fourth season takes place years later but in the same location. Many of the original cast members make appearances throughout the 8 episodes. The story is more violent and grittier than the original three seasons. | |||
| 3.5 | Taylor Tomlinson: Prodigal Daughter | Comedy | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| Y | This special was filmed in a church during Taylor Tomlinson's most recent tour. She is funny but also says things that might make some people uncomfortable. | |||
| 3 | Secret Mall Apartment | Documentary | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| Y | In 2003, eight Rhode Islander artists created a secret apartment in the Providence Place mall. We watched this documentary since we know the area. It was interesting to see what they did and why. | |||
| 3.5 | Song Sung Blue | Docudrama, Biography, Music | Theater | 2026/01 |
| Y | This movie is based on the true story of Lightning and Thunder, a husband and wife Neil Diamond tribute act. The duo experienced success and heartbreak in their musical journey together. The movie was sadder than expected due to some unexpected twists that happened in their lives. Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson were fantastic as the two main characters. | |||
| 3.5 | An Unexpected Valentine | Comedy, Romance | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| Y | Was surprised to see a Hallmark movie on Netflix. We had not seen this Valentine's movie with Lacey Chabert and Robert Buckley. We like both actors and enjoyed the silly adventures they went through on Valentine's day. Of course there were one or two scenes that had us rolling our eyes but that is to be expected from a Hallmark movie. | |||
| 2 | Ricky Gervais: Mortality | Comedy | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| N | I've given maybe recommendations to some of Ricky Gervais prior specials but this one had too many off-putting jokes. I did laugh at some jokes but overall it was a disappointing set. | |||
| 3 | Sleeping with Other People | Romance, Comedy, Drama | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| Y | Had never seen this 2015 movie with Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie. There were lots of good actors we like in the cast too. It wasn't a wishy-washy Hallmark story. The characters had flaws and the story took some interesting turns. | |||
| 3 | Love Life - Season 2 | Comedy, Romance, Drama | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| Y | Did not realize there was a second season released on HBO back in 2021. We watched this on Netflix because it was leaving the service soon. This season followed a different set of characters with a few minor call backs to season one. The show was engaging even though it portrayed some of the negatives of dating and relationships. | |||
| 2 | Joy Ride | Raunchy Comedy | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| M | We knew Ashley Park from her work on Emily In Paris. Gave this comedy a shot based on the trailer. Had no idea how bad the plot would be. It started out okay but got progressively stranger and had some over-the-top raunchy humor. We stuck through the whole movie which got a little better at the end. If you go into the movie knowing there will be raunchy humor then you might enjoy it. | |||
| 4 | People We Meet on Vacation | Romance, Comedy | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| Y | Fun romantic comedy to start 2026. The two leads were good. Flashbacks helped explain how the characters ended up where they were. Typical happy ending but we both enjoyed it. | |||
| 3.5 | American Boy | Comedy, Stand-up | Netflix | 2026/01 |
| Y | Entertaining comedy special by Marcello Hernandez. | |||
| 3 | This Is Spinal Tap | Mockumentary, Comedy | HBO | 2026/01 |
| Y | Watched this 1984 classic for the first time. Knew about the mockumentary but had never seen it. Rob Reiner did a great job pulling together a cohesive story about a fictional rock and roll band. All the dialog was improvised, which is amazing. It was fun to see some actors, like Billy Crystal, in small bit parts. Chuckled at many of the "old" clips from the bands earlier years. It really felt like a true documentary. | |||
