March 2024 Watch List
To qualify for my Watch List every month, the following has to be something that I've watched that's new to me. It doesn't necessarily have to be a current show, but it can't be reruns or rewatches of something I've already seen. So if I'm including it in this list, it means this month is the first time I've watched it. I'll put "DNF" (Did Not Finish) next to anything that I stopped watching and have no immediate plans to finish.
Movies
 Charlie's Angels (2019)
Dune: Part Two
Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio
Nimona
Road House (2024)
Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken
Television
Game of Thrones (Season 1)
The Rookie (Season 1)
The Rookie (Season 2)
Will Trent (Season 1)
Lots of good stuff this month. On the movies side, Road House was ridiculous, silly fun, and Dune: Part Two was visually stunning and way better paced than the super-slow first installment. But my favorite movie of the month has to be Nimona, an animated movie on Netflix that was nominated for an Oscar this past year. It was funny, touching, and set in a futuristic science fantasy world that was really interesting. I don't want to say too much because I think it's a movie best enjoyed without any prior expectations, but I highly recommend it.
On the television side, I finally started watching Game of Thrones to get ready for the game on WdC this month, and my wife and I finally found a procedural that I like watching along with her: The Rookie. Is it basically Castle, except set in Los Angeles where Nathan Fillion plays an old rookie instead of a writer? Yes, but it's still fun. We've raced through the first two seasons, and still have four to go. Will Trent, on the other hand, was pretty terrible. I couldn't get over the lead actor's inconsistent accent which came and went even within the same scene. Definitely pass on that one, unless you happen to be a huge fan of the book series.
