 Su 2/15/26 735am {1/2 'Extreme Chill' 'Wedding Cake' 150 mg: 75 mg total}. 735am (GB: 6 rips/ Cat Piss). 815am (4 hits-B: Green Crack). 1215pm (GB: 6 rips/Cat Piss). 535pm (GB: 6 rips/ Green Crack). 815pm (GB: 6 rips/ Green Crack).  Up 6am: A cloudy morning with afternoon sunshine and temps to upper 50's. Weekly Cleaning Watched 'GOOD NEWS' (Netflix). Based on a true incident: 'Japan Airlines Flight 351 hijacking'. It's a strange subject for a 'comedy/satire' and highlights the difficulty of making a funny movie with universal appeal. Something very specific to South Koreans doesn't carry over too well, although this one was close. Reading about the real incident I learned that much of the movie was true. Authorities really did land the plane in South Korea and convinced the hijackers that they were in North Korea. The kidnappers were a small group of young Japanese communists who wanted to start a world-wide anti-capitalist revoluti...

Set in the early 1800's, an itinerant Chinaman and an unemployed baker sell campfire bake goods to trappers and miners in the Oregon Territories. In order to make the cakes they have to steal milk from The Captain's cow. They flee the village and possibly they are murdered in their sleep. The movie opens with two skeletons in a shallow grave in the woods and maybe that was them? The movie was too slow and much of it was filmed at night and the lighting was so inadequate that you could not tell what was going on. An interesting storyline and historical setti...

Just as I started the film, I got a request for a restart. What's going on? That's been two or three major updates in the last ten days.  Watched 'EDEN' (Netflix). Based on actual events and I liked this a whole lot more than I thought I would. I remember seeing a documentary about this weird German media super-story about 'the fall from paradise' that occurred during the 1930's; with Jude law, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, Daniel Bruhl. Directed by Ron Howard. Filmed in the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia but set in the Galapagos Islands 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador in South America. "58" Metascore and I think it's...

It still doesn't download and they claim it's me. Two other Kanopy films played on my system with no issues. Watched 'MISGIVINGS' (Amazon Prime). A clever 'B-Movie'. An Australian woman in a troubled marriage goes on a solo road trip to the beach. In the small town she sees her husband with a much younger man. She thinks it's his gay lover, but it's actually his son, although she doesn't find out until after she's had sex with the young man. And, much later, she learns that she's pregnant. It's a wild ride, and very engaging.   Watche...

I have 21 days to finish 'GRAVE DANGER' by James Grippando. Watched 'THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO' (Hoopla- 2024 French version). A superior film based on the classic French novel of 'Cosmic Justice & Divine Revenge'. The work was first published as a serial in the French newspaper Le Journal des Debats between 1844 and 1846. "76" Metascore and I would go to 85". From SCREEN DAILY: "This is a devilishly handsome old-school tale of treachery and intrigue that zips through its n...

Another strange and vague film. A young girl is the star of her tennis club and when another girl on the team commits suicide the coach comes under scrutiny. Julie knows more than she's letting on. The fact that major details of the plot are never shown allows you to really feel her isolation. If something of a sexual nature did occur, was it all his fault? Is that why she's silent? "76" Metascore and I would go ...

Strangest yet... 1) A few teenage Iranian girls from a very isolated mountain village fake an on-camera suicide because the villagers feel that their dreams of freedom were 'empty-headed'; 2) An old & ignorant man believes that if he buries the foreskin of his adult son on the campus of a university his boy will become a doctor or an engineer. The film's disturbing message is the fact that there are people living in contemporary times that believe and think like people from the Bronze Age. "78" Metascore and I would raise it slightly to "83".  Watched 'HIPP...
