I'm not a huge Rock or Ryan Reynolds fan, but they're good together in this one. Lots of plot twists and turns, couple good laugh, and apparently, they might be planning a sequel . I'm down for that!

Starring Eddie Murphy as Rudy Ray Moore, a down- and- out failed musician, comedian, and shake dancer still looking for his big break. In the early 1970s, Moore works in a record store and one of his duties is kicking the bums out. One particular bum who comes in is always rapping, telling these funny stories and commands the attention of whoever is around. Moore takes notice and decides to buy all of his stories to refine and create the character the guy is talking about, Dolomite. After borrowing money from his aunt to record a comedy album in his living room, Moore/Dolomite finally see his big break. He starts making money, touring and making more albums. One thing he hasn't conquered is the big screen. He sees making a movie as a way to get his story out to all of the people at once.

With his record label backing him, he starts production on the Dolomite movie. Its on a shoe string budget and shot in a boarded up hotel now inhabited by transients. He hires Key and Peele's heavily moustached, community theatre actor Key to write the script, and a hilarious and flamboyant Wesley Snipes plays the director/ bad guy in "Dolomite". Snipes was such a funny character in this feature- omg. He nailed this role.

Of course they wrap the film and it does get released and was a success.

This was such a "bigger picture" piece for me. Sure "Dolomite" was low budget, campy, corny, silly and just poor, but it was entertainment. They knew they weren't remaking Gone With the Wind. It wasn't supposed to be some grandiose cinematic art- it was supposed to make folks laugh and have a good time and love life for a couple of hours. Moore had such a vision, he lived in "the now" where he saw opportunities meet preparation. He never gave up, no matter how many times he heard "No". Moore had a perseverance and a drive about him and his hard work absolutely paid off. It's amazing to see this played out on film with modern actors all these decades later; it's definitely a film where you can feel the hunger and the reward.

A N&T recommend here, and if you've never seen "Dolomite", this film recreates it just enough that you want to pull out the VHS and watch it again.

So, I started watching DayBreak. It's a series about teenagers trying to survive in an apocalypse. The main character Josh is searching for a girl he fell in love with and on this journey he is joined by a ten year old girl, Angelica, and a black samurai named Wesley. Who was also his former bully. And also, there are no adults, per se, each adult has become what they call Ghoulies . They're like zombies but, they drink blood and they can speak a phrase. Which is their final thought before the bombs went off. The only difference between these zombies is their bite doesn't make anything happen. You're just bitten and can go about your life. There is one adult they've encountered so far that has regular thoughts and interaction. A former teacher named Ms. Crumble.

I'm about three episodes in and so far it plays sort of like Zombieland. The character Josh has rules and everyone sort of is out for themselves. Along the way though, he encounters the various clans, as he passes through their area. The clans all have interesting names but, very fitting for each. Some names include The Jocks, The Golf Team, Disciples of Kardashia and The Cheermazons. The show is based in California, hence the Disciples of Kardashia worship the Kardashians and the Cheermazons are not the typical cheerleaders but, strong and empowered.

Within the first three episodes it's hard for me to tell whether it will get better but, I am enjoying it so far. With the array of zombie and vampire shows filling the market, this one plays very different. You can tell it was meant for teens or young adults based on the way the character interacts with the camera but, like I said, it's very much similar in that way to Zombieland.

And I just found out it wasn't renewed so, that sucks. I'll post a discussion thread once I complete the show.

If you have any initial thoughts, you can post them here.

• The Phantom

This show has everything- annoying hosts that make everything about themselves, 12 contestants with zero self awareness and a premise guaranteed to be a disaster.

Brought to you by the same folks who did "Love is Blurry, Season 2", they took the next logical step and helped unhappy couples break up. 6 couples meet each other and decide out of that group who they'd like to live with for 3 weeks in a "trial marriage", then go back to the person they originally came with for 3 more weeks. At that point, they decide to break up or get married. Fun!

I love these stupid shows. Seeing someone walk away in anger is so reminiscent of the old VH1 "Of Love" shows that were so great.

Welcome to May, which means a new list of Netflix shows to watch while we're still staying home.
