Many people, me included, would tell you that if a movie manages to entertain in the manner it is intended; it's served a purpose. Since it's met expectations, does it matter there are the parameters that've possibly not met the mark? Maybe not. Reviews exist to let us know if the movie is worth the... Continue Reading →
Things Which Catch My Eye
The New York Times book critic said this about the life of author Jean Rhys (of Wide Sargasso Sea fame)- She was like a shore hit regularly by hurricanes...
The Beauty of Alone Time
I woke up earlier than expected today because somehow my daily wake-up alarm got set for Sunday as well...oh well, no matter. I did my Wordle (I lost). I pottered around the house (needs dusting).

Movie Review: Aquaman 2- The Lost Kingdom
If I was being pithy, I'd say that the Lost Kingdom should've stayed lost! Jason Momoa becomes terribly typecast with his tattoos, wild hair and overall untamed look but there's a shift from the Arthur Curry he played in the first standalone Aquaman movie to this one. He's indolent, his acting is subpar and he's just... Continue Reading →
