The middle was so good that I was desperately hoping for no predictable sappy ending. (You'll have to watch it yourself.)

The Twain biography I'm reading to way too large to bring on a plane so I downloaded this on my Kindle.

One of the most original horror films I've seen, on or off of a plane. Let's hope no sequel is made.

I love that the creative team leaned into the insanity and audacity more for the sequel. (My seatmate was less enthusiastic.)

Watched in the background while working because I thought it was true horror, but captivated enough to seek out the sequel.

The best sci-fi writers can take a truly strange idea and expand on it in a way that is entertainingly thought-provoking.

I turned it on because I like the mechanics of standup comedy but ended up caught up in the lovely story.

The best line is about this not being Avatar, and that was in the trailers. A bit too on the nose.

The movie selection on Korean sometimes is a bit lacking and you end up watching something you know won't be great.

Seeing Chris Hemsworth as a non self-confident character was interesting - and he pulled it off while not pulling off his shirt.

We're not supposed to like Nate now because of politics, but perhaps we can not like him because of this movie?

It will always mean siesta time in a Malaga hotel for me, but charmed me nonetheless. Somewhat predictable, but certainly recommended.

To be clear, this is a review of the 2026 movie, not the 8th century BCE epic poem.Really good movie.

Everything I'd hoped for in a Peter Dinklage reboot of the classic. As weird, irreverent, and over the top as possible.

Made me feel like I did when reading L'Etranger in high school French class. Or at least how I remember it.

While not entirely convinced that this is a sequel begging to be made, the costumes were spectacular as were the stars.

Nothing against Milla or Dave, but this movie will always mean colonoscopy prep for me. Not that it's entirely not apropos.

Sometimes, if you wait long enough, you don't remember enough about the book to know how it's better than the movie.

Russell does a terrific job of helping the audience understand how someone so reprehensible could also be so charismatic and likable.

I wasn't convinced I like the narrator, but I was totally taken by the dog. Which, I suspect, was the point.

Better than I expected a sheep-related Agatha Christie-esq murder mystery to be. Not that one has such expectations well formed.

Sometimes you just want to put on a action movie that you don't have to watch closely - and there's Gerard waiting.

Imagine the unique films that we would have if James Cameron had not gotten obsessed with this series for several decades.

Wilkinsons on the Web has been languishing in a late-90s design - about which I was extremely proud at the time - for way too long. Around 2010, I thought perhaps one of my children would take up coding and refresh it for me. Alas, they are off doing PhDs in other fields.So I let my new favorite child Claude take a shot at it.Changes will be rolling out slowly, but it's really coming together

I can count on one hand the number of history books that I haven't finished. This one has earned a finger.
