So here I am, all checked-in at #womex23 in A Coruña Spain. This is a really pretty town.
I didn’t know that Spain has palm trees!
There are a lot of cool statues, which I’m sure have interesting stories behind them, but no plaques (that I found) to tell us what those stories are.

John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
3/10
Ouf, do you think you could have drawn that out any longer?
Date Watched: 27 May 2023
If they had cut every action scene in half and cut out most of the dialogue it might have been an okay film.
I did enjoy the choreography with the cars at the Arc de Triomph and the Mr. Nobody character, but other than that this was a real slog. A real slog.
Every line of dialogue was a speech. I can suspend a lot of disbelief for a movie in which every... (more)

The Rock never let’s us down!
Date Watched: 29 May 2023
We weren’t expecting much, but we wanted to be entertained and we figured anything involving The Rock is a safe bet. And he did not let us down!

Despite that, and despite some pacing issues, I was enjoying the film. There were some compelling characters, the story was interesting, and the fighting i did see... (more)
Kung Fu Killer (2014)
8/10
It’s hard to justify being number one in the martial arts world in this day and age.
Date Watched: 5 September 2023
Yeah, this was good. I tend to enjoy movies that are about being number one in the martial arts world. This one both honorus, and pokes fun at that trope, illustrating what the world’s top martial artits find themselves doing for a living in this day and age, while delivering some awesome action.
There were just so many beautifully done fight sequences in this film. The opening sequence in... (more)
