Picoreview: Mrs Harris Goes to Paris – a delight! I very much wanted to see this in the theatre and for whatever reason failed to, so when I had the TV to myself and discovered it on Netflix a couple nights ago, for once in my life I didn’t spend 45 minutes trying to decide what to watch and finally decide to watch nothing, but just watched it. :) It really is a delight. Charming, sweet, soft, occasionally heartbreaking, and funny. The lead, Lesley Manville, is one of those actors…
Recent Reads: The Continuing Time, by Daniel Keys Moran Once upon a time a bit of a punk of a young writer informed the world that he had 33 books planned in a time-and-space-spanning saga called The Continuing Time, and the world sat up and took notice.

Picoreview: Deadpool & Wolverine – did EXACTLY what it said on the tin, which was EVERYTHING I WANTED I generally try to keep my picoreviews spoiler-free, but I’m mentioning that specifically on this post because it’s still a relatively new movie and if you want to veer away entirely, you should, but I won’t be spoiling anything.
