Wolf and the Fake Fiancee

 Friday: You. Me & Tuscany (2026)

       Anna is a young woman who lost her passion for cooking after her mother passed. She's been housesitting, but it's not enough. 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 (2025)

         The Bad Guys are struggling to go straight. No one wants to hire them. But they are determined to be better. Then they are framed for a crime they didn't commit. They have no choice but to work with the female crime group that framed them. They feel themselves being pulled back to their old life. The Bad Guys have to figure what they want to do next. I thought this movie was alright. Fun animation style.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Friday: The Drama (2026)

          Emma and Charlie are a young couple about to get married in a couple of days. At a tasting with their friends everyone goes around and reveals the worst thing they've done. Emma reluctantly tells hers. It's so bad that it creates a rift between her and her friends. Charlie isn't sure if he can marry her after learning this. He has to really think about whether he can deal with her secret. I thought this movie was alright. The acting is good. It poses an interesting question about could you forgive someone in that situation. Could you live with them. There are a lot of awkward and uncomfortable moments. Unfortunately her secret was revealed by Yahoo Entertainment a week before the movie came out. It was on Facebook. Usually they just do a little blurb to get you to click on the link to the full article. That blurb usually doesn't have any spoilers. But this one did. Then when the movie came out Yahoo Entertainment had the gall to post an article basically saying what could her secret be. You'll have to see the movie to find out kind of thing. Like they hadn't just spoiled the movie the week before. I was still curious enough to go see it even though they spoiled it.

Saturday: In & Out (1997)

        An English teacher, Howard, is about to get married to his fiancee, Emily. A few nights before, they are watching the Oscar because a former student is nominated for Best Actor. The student wins and in his acceptance speech while thanking Howard he out him for being gay. This is a shock to everyone, including Howard. Howard has to reassure Emily and everyone that he his straight. Soon TV journalists of all kinds descend on their small town. Howard tries to go on as if everything is normal. But he starts to question if he really is straight. This movie was ok. A fun comedy. Just some of the acting and writing were over the top.

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...

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 ...
