Critic Willie Waffle Picks Movies and Shows Online to Watch Immediately

What to watch tonight? It's become the major question these days for people trying to find something compelling to stream on TV, or to watch in the movie theater.  Critic Willie Waffle used to be just a movie critic. Today, he's been forced to become a movie AND streaming service critic, and he was on the radio Friday to make his picks for the weekend.

By the way, Willie reviews based on one through four waffles, as in the breakfast menu item. He does this because his real last name is indeed, Waffle.

This weekend is actually the start of the summer movie blockbuster season and one of those movies got high reviews from Willie. Ryan Gosling is back with a movie that's a throwback to TV, but draws 3 1/2 Waffles out of 4 from Willie.

"The Fall Guy – In Theaters – Ryan Gosling is a stuntman who gets a job working on his ex-girlfriend’s directorial debut (Emily Blunt), but the lead actor disappears."

If you're looking to stream this weekend, there's the shocking"Baby Reindeer" on Netflix that is amazing, but disturbing at the same time. The story is about a stalker - and the story is on steroids - and Willie says it might be one of the best things streamed on Netflix in years. But - beware - it is disturbing.

Other picks from Willie:

Unfrosted – Netflix Movie – Kellogg’s and Post go to war trying to create a pastry that will change the face of breakfast forever.  The Pop Tart.  Starring, directed and written y Jerry Seinfeld. 2 1/2 Waffles.

The Idea of You – Amazon Prime Video Movie – Anne Hathaway is a 40-year old single mother who ends up in a romance with a 24-year old boy band pop sensation. 3 Waffles. Willie actually really liked this one.
