So, I’ve taken a long time to get around to seeing what’s pretty much the most critically acclaimed Marvel movie ever made. To be honest, I probably still wouldn’t have seen Black Panther if it hadn’t popped onto Netflix this month. Might I have rented it from Redbox? Perhaps. But I was at least a little… Continue reading Black Panther Just Came to Netflix… And it’s Pretty Darn Good
I saw the first Thor movie in college because some friends I was with wanted to watch it on DVD. And I found it a fairly forgettable, standard superhero movie. I watched The Avengers a couple years later on DVD. Aware that everyone in the world pretty much loved it, I was expecting to as… Continue reading Why I Liked Thor: Ragnarok (Even Though I’m No Marvel Geek)
After months of hearing nothing but praise for the new female-driven superhero movie Wonder Woman, it’s now out on DVD so I finally saw it.

It just came to Netflix, and I seemed to remember hearing lots of good things about it when it came to theaters. So we watched it. And as we watched it,… Continue reading Marvel’s Doctor Strange is a Little Too Strange
Update: Season 3 of this series is pretty fantastic! I gave the season its own review, I liked it so much! My husband and I started watching the Netflix Original series “Daredevil” a few months after it was released, kind of on a whim, knowing very little about it, beyond that it looked at least… Continue reading What Catholics Should Know About Netflix’s Daredevil
