Murderess and the Junior Stargazers

 Tuesday: Angel Face (1952)

       Frank is an ambulance driver. He responds to a call at a mansion. A woman was almost poisoned by gas. While there he meets the step daughter of the woman, Diane. Diane takes a liking to Frank. She follows him and convinces him to become their chauffeur.  They start to date. Soon Frank starts to realize how dangerous Diane is. She hates her stepmother and is open about her plans to kill her. Frank decides to leave but Diane isn't having it. I thought this movie was alright.

Friday: Asteroid City (2023)

      Augie has recently become a widower. He is taking his son to a junior stargazer event. It takes place in Asteroid City, a small town in the desert. While there he meets the other parents including the famous actress Midge Campbell. During a presentation an alien ship stops overhead and an alien comes down. Afterwards the town in under quarantine until they figure out what happened. The parents and children bond over their shared experience. This movies was alright. It was kinda slow. And there's this whole other plot that this is all a play. So we see behind the scenes of putting on the play. Wes Anderson, the director, has such a unique style. It's worth it just for that. Also the alien (which I'm pretty sure is stop motion) is cute.

Saturday: Mafia Mamma (2023)

      Kristin is an American woman who is unhappy with her life. Then she finds out her grandfather died and wants her to come to Italy for the funeral. When she gets there she learns he was the head of a mafia empire. He named her the new head in his will. Kristin is thrust into the leadership role not knowing what to do. After some struggles she comes into her own. I thought this movie was bad. It's a comedy but I didn't really like the humor. The acting isn't great either. I'm glad I didn't pay to see this in theaters.

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 ...

One night she meets and Italian man, Matteo. They hit it off and he tells her about his empty villa in Italy that he never uses. Anna takes this as an invitation to use her pre-paid plane ticket and fly to Italy and stay at his empty villa. She gets caught by his family. They assume she is his fiancee and she goes along with it. Anna is introduced to the rest of the family, including Matteo's adopted brother Michael. Michael and Anna immediately hit it off, but can't do anything because she is engaged to his brother. When Matteo shows up things get even more complicated. I thought this movie was alright. It's cute and nice to have a new romantic comedy come out in theaters . It's just a little cheesy and over the top for me. Almost like a Hallmark movie or the like.  Saturday: The Bad Guys...
