It’s Halloween today. I like dressing up, so you’d think I’d make a bigger deal out of Halloween than I do. (Mostly I just like shopping after halloween for deals! ) But if you invite me to a party, I’ll come up with a costume. Anyway, here’s some costumes I’ve thrown together over the years. First up, Xena Warrior Princess. I wanted to go as Red Sonja that year, but I did a quick survey of my friends in Quebec and determined most people wouldn’t know who that was, so Xena won. (Which is good, cuz I don’t need a...

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.

Date Watched: 27 May 2023

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.

Rampage (2018)

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...
