Bar Mitzvah Photographer and the Radio Host

Monday: Girlfriends (1978)
        Susan is a young photographer. She has a hard time getting work. Her photos aren't selling very well. Mostly she helps her rabbi by taking photos for weddings and bar mitzvahs. Susan lives with her best friend Anne. Anne meets a man and they get married. After Anne moves out Susan is sad and lonely. Her lack of work doesn't help her situation. She does her best to move on. Later she starts to get some work and to date a man. I thought this movie was ok. Not a lot happened. It wasn't that exciting. The most interesting part was just seeing New York City in the 70s.

Tuesday: The Unsuspected (1947)
         Victor is a radio star known for his dramatic readings of real crimes. His secretary dies of apparent suicide. But the cops are not convinced. Victor lives with his niece and her husband. One night they have a party. A strange man appears claiming to be the late husband of Victor's ward Matilda. He claims to have married her right before she got on her ship and disappeared. She was thought to be dead. Then Victor learns that she is alive in South America. Her husband picks her up at the airport. Matilda has no memory of him. Her reunion at home is tarnished by the niece's jealousy. And the fact that Matilda was in love with the niece's husband. Soon we learn that Victor may have  involvement in the crimes he reports on. His true motives come to light. I liked this movie.

Surprise Chorizo and the Floating Castle

         Well after two months I was finally able to go to a restaurant on my list. I went to Tight Tacos, the SE Division location. There is neighborhood parking on the streets behind it, but you might have to drive around a little. It is a small restaurant next to other restaurants and shops. They were only open for take out but there were picnic tables you could sit at on the sidewalk. The tables were in the shade so it was nice on a warm day. From what I could see inside it was clean and modern. There is some color and hanging Christmas lights. The service was good. I got three tacos: chicken, carnitas, and asada. I think that I got chorizo instead of asada. It was actually the best one flavor wise. The carnitas meat was good but there wasn't a lot of flavor. I forgot to ask for no onions so I had to scrape them off. The tacos were good. I would go back. The one problem I had was they serve the food in takeout containers. And they have tables for you to sit ...

King George III and the Abandoned Door

 Friday: Fight or Flight (2025)       Lucas is a former secret service agent. He was stranded in Bangkok after a failed assignment. Later he receives a call from his ex who know works at a different agency. A target, only known as Ghost, is getting on a plane headed for the U.S. He is the only one close enough to get on the plane in time. Lucas has to find Ghost and bring them home. Soon he discovers the plane is filled with people wanting to kill both of them. Lucas has to protect Ghost. This movie was ok. Except for the two main actors, all the acting is bad. The writing is bad. It's like they thought they could just put in a bunch of swear words and not have to actually write dialogue. There are some fun moments. It's basically Bullet Train but on a plane. Just watch Bullet Train instead. Saturday: Suzume (2022)       Suzume is a teenage girl living in Japan. One day she meets a mysterious young man, Souta, who is looking for an abandoned place with...
