After receiving an unexpected call from her wayfinding ancestors, Moana journeys alongside Maui and a new crew to the far seas of Oceania and into dangerous, long-lost waters for an adventure unlike anything she's ever faced.

The last 10-15 minutes were superb but…

Watched Smile (2022) by an author from letterboxd.com
After witnessing a bizarre, traumatic incident involving a patient, Dr. Rose Cotter starts experiencing frightening occurrences that she can't explain.

This is the first thing I have seen in a long time that actually put me on edge. Another amazing female lead performance in a horror film.

My review

It’s amazing how often asking for help, and the accompanying need to clearly articulate the problem, leads you to the solution before anyone even answers.

Read My Visit to the Trans-Inclusive Vagina Museum by Michaela YoungMichaela Young
Placards declare "Menstrual blood is the equivalent of semen" and all references to women are removed

Well, this was illuminating. I had no idea TERFs hated trans-men as much as they hated trans-women. Obviously (?) I’m no expert but I struggle to see how the feminist principles that identify trans-women as a further degradation of female make sense in reverse. If anything the “trans-inclusive” nature of the Vagina Museum is to support “men who mensturate” and focus on physiology rather than sex/gender. If TERFs regard trans-women as men, then surely trans-men are simply women like any other? I guess that’s the TERF objection, then; the museum should be, in their view, intrinsically and overtly about women.

Watched Sisu (2022) by an author from letterboxd.com
When an ex-soldier who discovers gold in the Lapland wilderness tries to take the loot into the city, German soldiers led by a brutal SS officer battle him.

One of the dumbest films I have ever seen. It does look pretty in places, though.

Watched Hot Fuzz (2007) by an author from letterboxd.com

Not only does he miss the excitement of the big city, but he also has a well-meaning oaf for a partner. However, when a series of grisly accidents rocks Sandford, Angel smells something rotten in the idyllic village.

Watched Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024) by an author from letterboxd.com
When the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.

Hardly a nailed on classic but far from bad. However, the plethora of “old” ghostbusters does eat into the screen time for the “new” ones… which seems contrary to sense…

But my kids (10/13) liked it!
