Finished this in just one sitting. ML Rio is someone I will definitely be reading again. The premise is fun and the characters are all unique and appealing. Her writing is crisp and the pages roll by at a good pace.

There’s an urgency that keeps the story moving.

And then. It just stops.

“Talk To Me” No horror film I’ve seen recently made me this uncomfortable. Okay “Smile 2” did. And as a movie, it has a lot to say. Trauma, the supernatural and the challenge youth face navigating life/social media. Frightening yes and very powerful. Disturbing, scary, thought provoking. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You would think with a cast that includes Jamie Lee Curtis,Hart Bochner and directed by Roger Spottiswoode you’d be in for a real treat. With truly despicable characters there is a wrong that must be righted. Bloodshed is needed. Kills are meh, dialogue forgettable the ending predictable. **/****

A few beautiful images my dad captured yesterday at sunset in Huntington Beach. Enjoy!

Not sure what I just watched. I can tell you it was emotional, bloody and weird. Wouldn’t recommend this one. A lot about trauma, rivalry and an extremely toxic love triangle mixed with geysers of blood from ill choreographed boxing scenes. Did I mention this one was strange?

Finally watched my first Dario Argento movie and I am pretty sure I’m officially in love. From the buckets of blood, the glorious overacting, the throbbing 80s music score and the over the top ending, this is sure to be my first of many journeys with this incredible director.

The blur in this one actually works. Rare case where a likely throwaway becomes a keeper.

Take the picture and post it on EVERY social media platform. Call everyone in your contacts list. Post videos about it. We might be surprised what we can do when we work together. No cable. No social media. No ad revenue for big Corp.

Taking a little time off, not a lot, and trying to get back in the groove of reading. Current book is a fun one. What is everyone else reading ?

Leo the Cat.

The new NCIS Origins show is good. The lead doesn’t look much like Mark Harmon but he embodies the character of Leroy Gibbs extremely well. Great writing with surprising depth and heart. Supporting cast is stellar and far superior to the original show.
