Virgin River: Unexpected Endings (2019)
Binge-worthy
Engaging, complex characters, good story line and well acrted. Scenery is outstanding. At times I thought much of it might be from British Columbia. Anyway, even though the dialogue is heavily tinged with Southern California, the multiple intersecting plot lines make it interesting. I also checked with a friend who lives in Humboldt County and yes, there are still gun-toting morons in the hills protecting illegal pot growing operations. I hope the second season comes out soon, as I'll likely binge on it as well.
10 Things I Hate About You (1999)
Great Northwest Scenery
'10 Things I Hate About You' is atory about a teenage girl and guy who are mutually repelled by each other but thrust together by a fellow with a large crush on her sister. Predictably, their mutual dislike eventually melts into something quite different. While mom is out of the picture, dad is comically overprotective. The plot deals with topics of interest to young adults, but is generally weak and escapes being a candidate for the dustbin only by good acting from Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles. The overuse of Northwest scenery also held my interest. To summarize, unless you were born after 1990, there are plenty of better things to do with your time than watching this film.
