You may be beginning to feel like your life is mundane, repetitive, or even stuck. Did you have the realization that you might want more out of your life? … Are you secretly an NPC?

Guy and his companions must work to save their city, and inevitably his life! 

Go to your nearest ice cream parlor, grab a big ‘ol scoop of bubblegum ice cream, hop into that discord call, plop down in that oh-so-comfy gaming chair, and watch the magic happen in Free Guy!

Thinking of Having Children – Cheaper By The Dozen

So you think it’s time to start a family! Have you decided how many kids you might want? Have you planned out what school they would go to? Do you want to coach their little league football team? Well if you haven’t planned everything out to a T, then maybe you should check out Shawn Levy’s 2003, Cheaper By The Dozen

Tom and Kate Baker, the proud parents of 12 children or a dozen, have decided to prioritize their family over their careers. However, their lives suddenly change when Tom is offered his big break to coach his alma mater’s football team, and Kate’s book is selected to be published! Now, as Kate travels to promote her novel it is up to Tom to care for their dozen while balancing his new coaching responsibilities! As you can guess, chaos ensues, and Tom must restore balance within the family!

If you already have kids, maybe Cheaper By The Dozen will convince you that one more might not hurt! In contrast, you might rethink how many kids you want by the end of this watch!

Working the Night Shift – Night at the Museum

Scheduled for the closing or graveyard shift? Having to lug yourself through a long night of empty halls, eerie noises, and tiny cowboys? Wait, tiny cowboys? Oh never mind that, there’s a dinosaur on the loose! Now, you’re trapped by a tiny army and a monkey stole your keys! Oh, what is there to do? 

In Shawn Levy’s Night at the Museum, Larry Daley just can’t seem to hold a steady job! Daley is beginning to give up hope right when he gets hired as the night security guard at the Museum of Natural History! This job seems like a piece of cake, and everything seems to be going well for him! Well, up until the exhibits start to come to life just after the sun sets! Can Larry survive his first night on the job?

Surely your night shift is nothing like one at this museum! Maybe pop in those headphones, and head on into your shift, but make sure you know what’s lurking around every corner! When you get home, grab some monkey bread, sit on that Egyptian leather couch, and watch Night at the Museum with Teddy Roosevelt right by your side!

Dealing with the Loss of a Loved One – The Adam Project

Did you recently lose someone close to you? While its a sad truth of life we all have to go through it can still be hard to cope. Thankfully there are films that deal with the subject matter that can help us feel better. The Adam Project is one of those films.

Watch The Adam Project with the ones you love most. Sit together and let yourself be distracted as you watch two versions of Adam argue with one another whilst simultaneously saving the world!

If You Love Madonna – Deadpool & Wolverine

Of course, life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone, I hear you call my name, and it feels like home!  There are so many great Madonna songs that make scenes into such iconic movie sequences! However, if you find yourself wanting to find the perfect Madonna song in a pretty perfect film, head on over to watch Deadpool & Wolverine!

Deadpool & Wolverine is the movie of the summer as it features Marvel Jesus! Following Wade Wilson who is seemingly content in his civilian life as his days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him! However, when his world is set to be destroyed, Wade must reluctantly suit up again with an even more reluctant Wolverine! Shenanigans and Chaos follow everywhere they go as they work together! This is the superhero team-up we have all been waiting for!
