Today I review THE ISLE HOUSE GHOST by C. Litka. The coziest of cozy mysteries! ruinedchapel.com/2026/02/13/b... #booksky
Book Review: “The Isle House Ghost” by C. Litka

Today is the 10th anniversary of the release of JANE GOT A GUN. I wrote a retrospective on it five years ago, and I think it still holds up today. ruinedchapel.com/2021/01/29/i...
“Jane Got a Gun” Five Years Later
Jane Got a Gun premiered on January 29, 2016. I had been looking forward to it since I learned of its existence, and with the film finally, finally hitting the big screen, of course I had to see it…

Snow everywhere. Country falling apart. Patriots in the Super Bowl.
I have all the respect in the world for Dr. Rubin, but I'm thinking I need something at least 100 proof.😂

No book review this week. Instead, I make a prediction about this week's AFC Championship game. It's less about the game and more for old time's sake. (Non-football fans, I encourage you to check it out--I think I made it interesting for you, too.😁) ruinedchapel.com/2026/01/23/a...

Are the special effect cheesy and horrible? Yes. Is the script largely predictable? Yes.
But did I enjoy it more than at least 5 of the 9 Star Wars movies? Also yes.
And Robert Preston is hilarious.
