So, what shows and films were we engrossed in during May 2015? Let’s take a look!
My Eclectic Mix
The range of my taste in May 2015 was vast. From the intense drama of “Orange Is The New Black” to the action-adventure of “Tomb Raider”, the animated comedy “Futurama”, the sci-fi of “Fifth Element”, and the classic “Roger Rabbit”. Not to forget “Labrinth”, and the light-hearted “Legally Blonde”. I was pretty much all over the place, and I loved every bit of it!
The Man of the House
My husband’s list was slightly more macho, but I must admit, I love watching his picks with him! One of our shared favorites is “The Running Man”. While it wasn’t on my list in May 2015, it made a frequent appearance on his and my eldest child’s accounts.
The Boys
Coming to my sons – Nick (13) and John (9), their preferences were quite varied too. However, the two younger ones, Chris (5), and Damien (2) were all about superheroes, Mickey, and old 80s cartoons. I admit, I might have influenced the last one a bit.
