Unknown Betrayer and the Grieving Son

 Tuesday: The Good Half (2023)

      Renn has to fly home for his mother's funeral. On the plane he meet Zoey. They hit it off and exchange numbers. When Renn arrives at his dad's house, he at first tries to avoid his dad and his sister. He doesn't know what to say to them and feels guilty for not being around. His sister doesn't let him hide and convinces him to help her the next day with funeral arrangements. Unable to deal Renn meets up with Zoey in the city. She is his escape from his real problems. Renn struggles to be there for his family and really face his grief. I thought this movie was alright.

Friday: Black Bag (2025)

      The marriage of two special agents is put to the test when the wife, Kathryn is suspected of stealing a top secret weapon. Her husband, George, has to investigate. He wants to protect her. He is unsure if she did it or not. George hosts a dinner with all the agents he suspects, hoping to figure out who did it. The situation becomes more and more complicated. This movie was good. It's very intelligent. I will be honest I didn't always understand what they were saying. I think that might just have been because it was special agent lingo.

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...
