Normally I like to work or read on planes, but on a return home flight yesterday I was exhausted to the point that movies sounded best. Four (!) movies on Netflix:

  • The Dig — Archaeology story set in 1939 England, where I found myself much more interested in the mini love stories than anything else.
  • The Wonder — Florence Pugh absolutely not screwing around playing a nurse in 1862 Ireland sent to witness a “miracle” little girl who “hasn’t eaten” in four months. I worried was going to lose me but gets more compelling as it goes.
  • The Woman in the Window — Fun murder mystery with Amy Adams with plot twists that all work pretty well. I think in the end there was may one too many people involved leaving it feel a little much.
  • Eden — I thought this island romp with a toothless Jude Law would edge a little closer to horror but it was more thriller. I was into it enough that, even though I didn’t entirely finish this one on the plane, I put it back on to finish the next morning.
Thoughts? Email me or comment below. Also CodePen PRO is quite a deal. 🙏

    Hey Chris, all of these are going straight onto my watchlist for next weekend!

    I’m thinking, I’ll start with The Wonder.

    The Wonder made my top 10 of 2022. One of those many gems lost in the Netflix abyss unfortunately. Check out the novel it’s based on too.
