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. Life happened, and so far there are only five books in it, but I love every one of them into the depths of my soul, and I will wait patiently for the other 28 until the end of time.

I had an epiphany recently.

But I ran out of the ones I had on my ereader so I switched…
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. (I may very well do another post next month with spoilers, but for now, no.) I’m not a particular Deadpool movie fan, tbh. He’s too violent for me, even if it’s borderline cartoonish…
Picoreview: Furiosa: boring :( I had heard enormously mixed reviews from friends, and…do you ever feel like sometimes other people have somehow seen a completely different movie or TV show than the one you’ve seen? I’ve taken to saying “I wish I’d seen the cut THEY saw,” which is how I feel about the positive reviews of Furiosa. I’m very glad people enjoyed it, I just don’t understand how. :) Everyone in it was good. Chris Hemsworth’s fake nose was actively not good, but despite that, he was very good.…
