Seeings as it’s practically Halloween and all, I suppose I should put up a horror movie review.
Malignant (2021)
6/10
Why are you going in that building alone at night?
Date Watched: 10 April 2022
Pretty entertaining, but I always find people making irrational decisions hard to take, and there are some peak horror movie irrational decisions made by the characters here that were a little too ridiculous for me to suspend disbelief for.
The story was cool though, and the villain was really well done. If you are a fan of movement and dance (which...

Womex 23
October 25, 2023
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

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!
My husband has played the game and pointed out the many deviations, but also the many nods to the source material.
The villians would have been over the top if I hadn’t just finished reading a book about the Theranos lady and seen things that twitter guy said.
There were lots of laughs, the...

The Night Comes for Us (2018)
6/10
Oh god why!?
Date Watched: 1 June 2023
This was very gory. I think there was some good fight choreography, but I can’t be sure because I closed my eyes for half of every fight scene. Lots of blades and tools around. I think there should be blood in a violent movie, but this was horror movie gore. That’s not my thing.
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...
