"Castle" Season Six

I just finished viewing "Castle" - the complete sixth season - and I have to say I liked it so much better than last season.  There's a lot of action as well as a lot of fun as Castle and Beckett make their wedding plans with a few glitches along the way, of course!

The episode with a time Traveler was especially fun!  In episode 6 Castle holds his own in a sword fight with an experienced Ninja.  This season finds Alexis more involved in cases, too.  All in all I have to say this is probably one of my favorite seasons.  However (there always has to be a but, right?) we ended the season with a cliff hanger so I'm glad there's no one waiting in line for the seventh season - I should have it in a few days!  pazt

"Castle" Season 5

When I checked out the complete fifth season of "Castle" from the library, I started watching it right away and, in the beginning, I thoroughly enjoyed it.  Beckett and Castle are together at last but have to keep it a secret at work but the chemistry is there and they are having a lot of fun.

There are 24 episodes in all and in episode 21, they begin to do this weird flashback for most of the show and I just didn't enjoy it all that much.  The story ended ok but it was like they were trying to fill time and had nothing else to put there and it does kind of make sense given that particular story line but still....it didn't really work for me.

I've already requested the sixth season from the library and apparently it is on its way!  pazt 

"Yesterday" - the movie

Unfortunately, I missed seeing the movie, "Yesterday," when it was in the movie theaters but my daughter invited me to her home tonight to watch it with her and her in-laws on VUDU.  Although I didn't know what it was about, I'd heard it was good.  It was surprisingly funny with an interesting story line and great music - the Beatles songs.  An added bonus was Ed Sheerhan!  I give it a big thumbs up!  pazt

"Castle" Season 4

I located the fourth season of "Castle" on DVD at my local library but it was in high demand so I had to wait awhile for it to be available then it has taken me a few weeks to view it since I didn't want to sit down and view it all in a few days.  It is 23 episodes on five discs!

At the end of the last season we were left wondering who shot Beckett and whether she heard Castle telling her he loved her.  It all becomes clear in this season but it takes us until the last episode to put it all together then we're left with a new cliffhanger -- but not quite as dramatic.  I thoroughly enjoy this series and will be sad when the show finally winds up.  Happy viewing!  pazt

"Midnight Special"

"Midnight Special" is the 4th DVD I checked out of my local library.  The best one was "Georgia O'Keeffe."  "Midnight Special" is a mix of family on the run protecting their son from government agents and sci-fi.  I'd give it an ok rating.  pazt

"Stay Away, Joe"

"Stay Away,  Joe" is another DVD I picked up at the library.  I grew up when I was able to see Elvis Presley on the Ed Sullivan show and, yes, I swooned like a lot of other girls my age.  So, when I saw this movie, I thought I might enjoy it if, for nothing else, the music.  Wrong - there were maybe two songs in the whole movie although I admit to falling asleep during it as it was pretty boring and juvenile.  It takes place on an Indian Reservation for the most part but none of the actors are actually Native American and the rowdiness and crudeness displayed was not flattering.  There was a lot of chasing girls and fighting so another thumbs down from me for this movie!  pazt
