Competitive Chef and the Cursed Ring

 Tuesday: Girl Haunts Boy (2024)

       Bea is a teenage girl living in the 1920s. At a school trip to a museum she finds a ring and ends up taking it. Outside of the museum she gets hit by a car and dies. A hundred years later Cole and his mom move into Bea's old house. Weird things start to happen in his room. Then he finds the ring and is able to see Bea while wearing it. Cole is freaked out a first and wants Bea gone. She wins him over and they become friends despite being from very different times. Friendship turns to something else as they try to figure out what happened to Bea and how it's connected to the ring. I thought this movie was alright. It's cute.

Saturday: We Live in Time (2024)

       Tobias is on a work trip when he gets hit by a car. When he wakes up a young woman, Almut, is sitting with him. She is the one who hit him. They have instant chemistry. Almut is a chef on the rise. She invites Tobias to the opening of her restaurant. Their relationship has a bumpy start but they make it work. Later Almut finds out she has ovarian cancer. She goes through treatment. They have a child together. The cancer comes back. They have to decide what they want to do. Live the best they can for as long as they can, or have her go through treatment and have it be a hard way to live. This movie was good. Although it was not told in chronological order. It jumps around a lot. It would have been better if it was told in order. I don't really see the point in jumping around so much. It's not some unique and different thing, it's just annoying.

Sunday: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

       A group of friends are on a trip in rural Texas. Sally and Franklin want to visit their grandpa's grave and see the old house. While at the house two members of the group go off to find a swimming hole. They find what appears to be another abandoned house. A monster lives within it. A large man in mask made from human skin weilding a chainsaw. One by one the group are killed till it's just Sally and Franklin. They go looking for their friends and find the monster of a man instead. I thought this movie was bad. I've heard about it for so long. I was expecting a classic slasher film. Not some weird artsy B film. The acting was bad. There are random close ups of bones, chickens, etc. I know it was made in the 70s but it's really fake. Like he doesn't even get close to them with the chainsaw. The gore, if you can call it that, isn't what's disturbing. It's the mad man and the others the group encounter. I wanted to watch this because I thought it was a classic horror film. Like Halloween or Friday the 13. But it's not. I could have skipped it.

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...
