iCarly (Paramount+)
Carly (Miranda Cosgrove), Spencer (Jerry
Trainor) and Freddie (Nathan Kress)

and facing the uncertainties of life in their 20s. The
new showrunners really know what they are doing and
really kept that feeling of the original while being
more mature. Also remember, it's been 9 years, these
characters are not the same ones we last seen in 2012,
they grew up and changed some. Theres a heaping helping
of nostalgia served up all while keeping things
contemporary.

The Ice Road

a frozen ocean to save the lives of trapped miners
despite thawing waters and a threat they never see
coming. Think ice road truckin' meets Die Hard and you
got one heck of a ride. It's a fun pop corn flick, so
don't watch expecting to see a survival based movie This
movie was good start to finish and has an enemy that
doesn't quit. If you like the Neeson genre and you love
action don't miss it.
