Film#76. #DowntonAbbeyTheGrandFinale (2025) I loved seeing where our various characters’ arcs have ended. The Dowager Countess is sorely missed but the film still excels at juggling a huge ensemble cast while telling the story of an ever-changing world. 8/10 #Filmsky

TV#93. Air City (2007) I’ve only seen Choi Ji Woo in classic kdramas (Stairway to Heaven, Winter Sonata), but I like her character so much more in this airport workplace drama. Bonus to see much younger Lee Jung Jae, Lee Jin Wook, and Lee Da Hee too. 7/10 #Kdrama #TVSky

Film#75. #WallToWall (2025) This film has some surreal sequences as our protagonist sinks deeper into desperation and paranoia, at times swinging between euphoria and depression. That last act was batshit crazy. Dark and cynical, not everyone will like this. 7.5/10 #Filmsky #KFilm

TV#92. #Twelve (2025) I almost dropped this; I was so bored. Despite having some well-known names in the cast, good action scenes, and very high production values (the show looks gorgeous and the effects are nicely done), the writing is bad and the dialogue stilted. 6/10 #KDrama #TVSky

Film#74. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) A film about an idealistic man fighting corruption remains a poignant and resonant theme today. That the ending is only something that can only happen in the movies is just sad though. Love the performances. 9/10 #Filmsky

TV#91. #Foundation S3 (2025) Oh my, that season finale was bonkers and I loved it. Betrayals, new alliances, twists upon twists... Last episode was a game-changer, and I’m wondering what S4 brings now. 9/10 #TVSky

Film#73. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Infinity Castle (2025) This movie has amazing artwork, animation, pacing, action sequences, music, and storytelling. As usual in this series, we get flashbacks that tell us a bit about a character’s heartbreaking backstory. 9/10 #Anime #Filmsky

TV#90. #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds S3 (2025) This series is my favourite among the newer Treks (since Discovery) so far. S3 contains some funny eps, some exciting eps, some sad eps; all are emotionally resonant. I’m glad to know we’ll get a S4. 9/10 #TVSky

Sigh. I have to postpone watching the Downton Abbey film finale to next week (maybe). One of my friends who was supposed to watch with me is sick. Oh well. I still have the Demon Slayer anime film to look forward to.

Film#72. #BreakingNewsInYubaCounty (2021) This film has Allison Janney as the main protagonist and she is amazing here (as always). Almost all the supporting cast is familiar to me too, and they are great! Body count is high in this quirky black comedy. 8/10 #Filmsky

TV#89. #ADiscoveryOfWitches S3 (2022) Liked how this last season wrapped everything up nicely, though the villains appeared quite puny when going against a powered-up Diana. Still, I wish we spent more time with the characters. This series felt too short. I need to check out the books. 8/10 #TVSky

Film#71. White Nights (1985) I loved the dance sequences in this film. I forgot Helen Mirren was in it (two Helen Mirren movies in a row!) Good songs. And the cast made up for the meh plot. 7/10 #Filmsky

Book#42. End of Watch by Stephen King (2016) | Read by Will Patton This is the last book in the Bill Hodges trilogy and my favourite of the three. Brady Hartsfield going after the people in Bill Hodges’ life makes this feel more personal, and the paranormal twist makes this terrifying. #Booksky

TV#88. #Peacemaker S1 (2022) Funny, violent, quirky, dark; I liked this, especially as our ragtag group works together in the end. I feel bad for the butterflies. Next up will be Creature Commandos, then Superman (rewatch), then S2 of Peacemaker. 8/10 #TVsky

Martha Wells' Murderbot series and more on HumbleBundle! I was able to get Attack on Titan (the full manga series), an Ursula K. Le Guin book bundle, etc., at diff times before. Bonus that you get to help out a charity too. www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...

TV#87. #TheSevenDeadlySins S4: Imperial Wrath of the Gods (2020) Unlike the previous seasons, this one ends in a cliffhanger (I hate it when that happens). However, lots of questions were answered this season, and I quite liked the backstories! 7/10 #TVSky #Anime

Book#41. Finders Keepers by Stephen King (2015) | Read by Will Patton I finished rereading the ebook several days ago but just finished the last ten minutes of the audiobook this morning. Our core trio shows up late in the book, after the stories of Morris and Pete have been told.

Film#70. #TheThursdayMurderClub (2025) Engaging cast, though I wanted a more complex murder mystery. This was a nice, cozy watch. 7/10 #Filmsky

TV#86. ROAR (2022) These quirky stories are uneven and unsubtle in their messaging but a lot of them end up quite rewarding to watch. Great cast. 7.5/10 #TVSky

Book#40. #MurderAtHambledonHall by C.J. Archer (2025) Cleopatra Fox #10 is different from the previous books because we finally see forward momentum for Cleo and Harry! And Aunt Lilian too. I liked how the murder mystery turned out too.

Film#69. #MemoirOfASnail (2024) “Life can only be understood backwards, but we have to live it forwards.” Much of this stop-motion film tells tales of woe as our heroine Grace recalls her life as a series of tragedies. It, however, ends in hope. Heartfelt and moving. 8/10 #Filmsky

TV#85. #LittleHouseOnThePrairie S3 (1976) Good episodes this season, with Mary and Laura learning some hard lessons. What strikes me this season is that while trusting others is still a strong theme, we get episodes where there are straight out bad guys and townsfolk fight back. 8/10 #TVSky

Film#68. #TheSuicideSquad (2021) Watched this after some research on how to get into the new DCU. A little taken aback by how graphic the violence is; the cognitive dissonance is real as this film is also funny and is socially aware. I like it. 8/10 #Filmsky

Book#39. #MrMercedes by Stephen King | read by Will Patton (2014) I read this before but wanted to try the audiobook this time; great narrator. I’d forgotten how different Holly was in this first book vs how she was in the latest novel. Love this series. I should probably check out the TV show too.

Film#67. #TheSevenDeadlySins Prisoners of the Sky (2018) We meet new creatures in this film, and I liked them a lot; hope we see them again in the upcoming seasons and films. I like all the new characters too. 7/10 #Anime #FilmSky

TV#84. #TheSevenDeadlySins S3 (2018) Though this season is mainly about the Seven Deadly Sins (heroes) fighting against the Ten Commandments (villains), a lot of origin questions were answered and arcs from S1 wrapped up. I like all the new characters too. 7/10 #Anime #TVSky

Ooh, there's a #Cdrama on CBC Gem called Miss S. I love the cinematography, costuming, and music so far (on Ep 1). Supposed to be a remake of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, which I haven't watched (yet).

Book#38. Swan Song by Robert R. McCammon (1987) This humongous book can be a bit squicky at times, but it’s also thrilling, and I loved the ending. I can see why this post-apocalyptic book is frequently compared to Stephen King’s The Stand. While there are similarities, it’s a very different book.

TV#83. #LoveO2O (2016) This #Cdrama has a gorgeous cast, pretty in-game fantasy sequences, and nice focus on the gaming industry in general. However, the plot moves forward because of OTHER PEOPLE’s gossip, not once, not twice, but again and again! It’s irritating for me. 7/10 #TVSky

Film#66. #WeaponsMovie (2025) This movie starts out as a mystery with some jump scares, then slowly reveals the horror. There is a bit of humour in the middle, and a bit of gore in the end, but nothing gratuitous. I was totally glued to the screen. 9/10 #Filmsky

Watching the iTunes Extras on Superman right now. I wanted to watch the film with the commentary, but it looks like that's coming a bit later, along with the Gag Reel and Deleted Scenes. Oh well. It's OK; I will just rewatch the film now and then rewatch it again when the commentary is available.

TV#82. #AndJustLikeThat S3 (2025) Sigh. I actually felt the first two seasons weren’t bad, but this last one – series finale – ended with a whimper. I didn't mind how our ladies' arcs are resolved (or not), but the writing is just all over the place this season. 6.5/10 #TVSky

Film#65. Oh! Brothers (2003) This #KFilm had some hilarious scenarios but I was uncomfortable with some of them as they are meant to be happening to a 12-year-old (who looks a lot older). I did like how the relationship developed between the siblings though. Good ending. 7.5/10 #Filmsky

TV#81. #TheDefects (2025) The premise of this #kdrama is so outrageous I had to watch it. I liked the story overall (and that twist surprised me) but I can’t seem to connect emotionally to our heroes. Regardless, I think it’s quite a bold move to depict the parents this way. 7/10 #TVSky

Film#64. #30DaysOfNight (2007) I read the 3-issue comic book this was based on but it was so long ago I only remember the start and the end. This adaptation has a strong cast, suspenseful atmosphere (esp. at the start), and I really liked the ending. It is quite gruesome though. 7.5/10 #Filmsky

TV#80. #TheGildedAge S3 (2025) That was a satisfying finale. I loved all the different character journeys (Jack, Gladys, Oscar, etc) this season; I even get why we are where we are with George and Bertha. Looking forward to S4. I hope the wait isn't too long. 9/10 #TVSky

Film#63. Freakier Friday (2025) This was fun and I left the theatre with a smile on my face. It did take awhile to get going and I only started laughing once the body switch happened, but I loved the story, enjoyed the cameo by Elaine Hendrix, and adored Manny Jacinto. 7.5/10 #Filmsky

Book#37. Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, Read by Ray Porter The way this is written is perfect for narration, no wonder it won an Audie Award. Loved this book; it is suspenseful, and funny, and makes science exciting. Read this before watching the movie trailer, which is spoilery. #Booksky

TV#79. #TheAtypicalFamily (2024) Such an interesting #kdrama; I didn’t expect to like some initially unlikable characters, but everyone had an arc, and there are several themes that this touched on, like the importance of family, of looking inward, of moving forward, etc. 9/10 #TVSky

Film#62. Here (2024) This film is all about moments that happened in the same room through the years, told non-linearly; leaving the viewer to piece together the stories. My problem with this is that I don’t feel any connection to the characters; I’m a ghost watching the world go by. 6/10 #Filmsky

TV#78. #ADiscoveryOfWitches S2 (2021) We see the story switch between the 16th century and present day throughout this season. I liked Diana’s arc, but the show doesn’t really show why/how Jack suddenly became so important to the couple. Cliffhanger ending. 8/10 #TVSky

Film#61. #FreakyFriday (2003) Rewatched because I’m planning to see the sequel next week. I still enjoyed this quite a lot as both Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan are great in their roles. I'm so glad to learn that many of the original actors are in the new film. 8/10 #Filmsky

TV#77. #TheResidence (2025) Smart whodunit. I thought at first that this was a show where the viewer won’t be able to solve the case on their own but the clues were actually shown throughout, you just need to be observant. I wish this didn’t get cancelled. Loved the characters. 8/10 #TVSky

Book#36. The Trunk by Kim Ryeo-Ryeong, read by Greta Jung I didn’t know what to expect from this book other than it was made into a kdrama (which I haven’t watched yet). This is told from the POV of Noh Inji and has romance, action, and social commentary too. Very interesting. #Booksky

TV#76. #Supernatural S9 (2013) Angel wars this season, with a very wily antagonist. I loved seeing Charlie and Jody again (not enough!). That ending shot was quite a twist. 8/10 #TVSky

This fiftysomething woman got carded today at the VIP theatre. Tickled pink. To be fair, movie theatres are not brightly lit, so I suppose it's possible I could pass for a teenager. The last time this happened was when I was passing through a casino to get to a restaurant. That was a decade ago.

Film#60. #TheFantasticFourFirstSteps (2025) I liked the setting of this alternate Earth, with its 1950s/60s era design, though the technology is very much science fiction. The huge threat to this world seems insurmountable but is dealt with smartly. 8/10 #Filmsky

TV#75. #MarryMyHusbandJapan (2025) Loved this #jdrama; while it follows the same overall plot, the execution is quite different from the kdrama, especially the last few eps. I wasn't impressed with the makeovers but liked everything else. OST (The Mask, Burn It Out) was dope. 8.5/10 #TVSky

Film#59. #DowntonAbbeyANewEra (2022) I liked this better upon rewatch. Love the filmmaking plot, and how the household staff become involved in it. The Dowager and Moseley are the VIPs in this one, I think. I'm ready for Film #3 in Sep! 8.5/10 #Filmsky
