Out on ye olde e-scooter
Phoenician deity looking out to sea
Practice makes perfect
Ground and Sun, not recipes but species
Nothing spectacular, just a great time to be out in the fresh air
All gnarled and nobbly, very nice
First time out and about with the 40mm f2
Every Picture Tells A Story, but not always the one you expected
Pretty nifty little crabs if they sense danger
A male and female Firefinch pause on their journey
Carry-On (2024), the plane luggage that is, is the subject of this action thriller. A reasonable plot, high body-count…what more could you ask on a winter’s eve? Not quite Die Hard, but entertaining enough.
Prey (2022) is yet another in the Predator franchise, this time with an early 19th century Native American twist. Whilst not the best in the series, it is most certainly not the worst by any means. Watchable.
Violent Night is an altogether different Christmas offering from 2022 as a disillusioned Santa ends up taking on mercenaries and kill squads. Actually quite enjoyable with some amusing Home Alone references and actions.
Hunting with Tigers (2024) is a French action/thriller (original title Tigres et Hyenes) which has plenty of action as well as a smidgen of mystery.
An old card game comes to life and a family travels back in time is the premise of Family Pack (2024), a French film starring Jean Reno. I’m afraid I gave up after a very short time. Might try again another time….or maybe not.
Blue Beetle (2023) is no classic superhero origin story by any stretch of the imagination but it is lively, has sufficient humour, non-OTT action sequences and is generally a fun watch.
Irish Wish (2024) starring Lindsay Lohan is billed as a rom-com, although I would say mostly without the com bit. Maybe 42% on ye olde Rotten Tomatoes says enough. I did get to the end, though.
