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...

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!
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...

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...

Can I get a closer look at your guitar? What is that guitar? Is that even a guitar?
These are questions I get asked…at pretty much every gig I play.
This is my Yamaha Silent Classical guitar. (SLG200NW for those of you who like model numbers.)
These came on the market in 2001 and crossed my radar probably somewhere around 2006/2007. As soon as I saw them I wanted one. I felt like Yamaha had designed these specifically for me. A somewhat surreal looking electric classical guitar that comes apart to be super easy to transport! This has Kyla...
