Barbie and Ken are having the time of their lives in the colorful and seemingly perfect world of Barbie Land. However, when they get a chance to go to the real world, they soon discover the joys and perils of living among humans.
I’m not sure the circumstances of my viewing did it justice but it really didn’t meet my (probably vastly over-inflated) expectations 🤷♀️
★★★½
In my older age, I increasingly feel that putting periods in filenames should be a disciplinary offense.
A young woman's marriage to a charming prince turns into a fierce fight for survival when she's offered up as a sacrifice to a fire-breathing dragon.
Has an oddly basic plot considering the overall tone and themes, but even that can’t distract from the dragon which is superbly realised.
★★★½
Anyone else feel like Jonathan Nolan’s episodes were the weakest of the series? Not bad, just the least good… #Fallout
(While I fully respect any individual’s pronouns) I am toying with the idea of adding “We/They/Them” to the bottom of my email and, if queried, telling people I don’t identify as an individual. You know, just to see how they respond.
Today at work we “joked” about another pandemic affecting business as usual. I chipped in “Or not being able to go outside because of mild nuclear fallout.” Another person said, “Actually, will we still be expected to work if there is a nuclear war?” And there was a bit more banter about nuclear war moving further up the business risk register.
I don’t think anyone was entirely joking…
I’m loving this whole anti-Iranian narrative. Israel attacks the Iranian consulate in Syria, kills Iranians. The attack is widely condemed (except by most of the UN Security Council – funny that). Iran retaliates and they’re the baddies.
A young woman haunted by a tragedy in her past takes revenge on the predatory men unlucky enough to cross her path.
If this doesn’t break your heart, you’re not paying enough attention. Either to the film or reality.
★★★★★
Following their explosive showdown, Godzilla and Kong must reunite against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world, challenging their very existence – and our own.
I liked it! My 12 y/o loved it. It was loud, colourful and fun. The wafer thin plot and extremely brief ejaculations of exposition exist purely to justify the next cool thing that happens. And, five films in, I’m completely cool with that!
★★★½
Five years after they defeated Gozer, the Ghostbusters are out of business. When Dana begins to have ghost problems again, the boys come out of retirement to aid her and hopefully save New York City from a new paranormal threat.
Janosz is by far the best thing in this, closely followed by almost any scene with Oscar.
★★★½
