Body Swap and the Third Husband

 Friday: Freakier Friday (2025)

       It's been 22 years since the events of the first movie. Anna is a single mother to a teenage daughter, Harper. She struggles to balance her career and raising Harper. Harper gets into an altercation with a new girl, Lily, at school. Anna and Lily's dad, Eric, are called to the school. Anna and Eric hit it off right away. They eventually get engaged. Harper and Lily are not happy about it. Especially when it means they might have to move. Tess is doing her best to help. Then at Anna's bachelorette party Anna, Tess, and the two girls encounter a psychic who puts a spell on them. In the morning they wake up in different bodies. They have to figure out how to reverse the spell while living each others lives. I thought this movie was good. It was better than I thought it would be. I thought it would follow the trend of remakes and sequels. It would be focused on the younger characters with the originals just being there as side characters. But it wasn't. There was a focus on each character. Something for every generation. There were lots of millennial easter eggs. My favorite being a cameo by Elaine Hendrix, who was in The Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan (Anna).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Friday: My Mother's Wedding (2023)

      Katherine, Victoria and Georgina are three sisters who have all come home for their mother's wedding to her third husband. Their mother was married to Katherine and Victoria's father until he died. Then she remarried his best friend and had Georgina. That husband also died. Now she has found a new man. The sisters are confronted by demons from their past, as well as their current struggles leading up to the wedding. They have to try and work through it all and be there for their mother. This movie was alright. It is set in England. Scarlet Johansson is Katherine. Her British accent was actually pretty good. But it just didn't connect for me. I kept expecting her to have her American accent.

Saturday: Night Always Comes (2025)

       Lynette is struggling to get by while working two jobs. There is a chance she and her mom could buy their house. Which would make it easier to continue to care for her brother who has downs syndrome. They are close to having enough money when it falls through. Lynette has one night to get the money. She takes bigger and bigger risks to get money. It goes from bad to worse. Her own dark past playing a big part in the struggle. But she is desperate to get the money and secure their future. I thought this movie was alright. It's pretty dark. The main reason I watched it was because it was filmed in Portland. There was a scene in a thrift store on SE Division that I've been to several times. Which is cool. It's doing pretty well on Netflix right now, which is good.

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...
