Bridget Jones and this Cinematic Weekend
Posting twice in a day, because this is time sensitive.
There were two big cinema releases in the UK this weekend (sorry Heart Eyes): Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, the fourth Bridget Jones film vs. Captain America: Brave New World. I have thoughts about this! I’ve got history with both properties, if you will, but I was on the comic everywoman’s side over MCU’s latest offering ( Read more... )
As for the film itself, ( Read more... )

Rings of Power
A while after everyone else, otherwise known as last Saturday night, as I’ve now got Amazon Prime, I sat down to watch The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. (Background, I’ve read The Silmarillion once, many, many years ago. I knew it was the most expensive TV show made, it got positive reviews, three of the lead actors were Welsh-speaking Welsh people (one of whom is Morfydd Clark, so she could probably concentrate on learning other skills rather than pronunciation) and I should treat it like expensive fanfiction.

Mulan review
I finally saw it! It’s unavoidable that I would have preferred to see it on a big screen, but I couldn’t, but at least I got to see it and it stirred up ‘girls with swords’ and wushu feels. ( I liked it, but there were bumps. )

And so it begins (The Masked Singer and Jane Eyre rewatch)
It already feels like a tradition that the new year starts with the fever dream of The Masked Singer. I watched the first episode on catch up in two parts.

I watched episode 2 live, not that it made any difference. ( Read more... )
I saw that Jane Eyre (the Ruth Wilson version) was being aired, and decided to rewatch it – I’ve had a hankering to do so for a while, but on the strength of this first episode, I can see why I didn’t buy it on DVD. ( Read more... )

Black Widow review
I watched this on Christmas Day, having hoarded it up for that, ( Read more... )
But I mostly enjoyed it and I’m glad that I got a Black Widow calendar for next year.

'Bitterblue' reread
I started reading 'Winterkeep' last night, so I'm posting this now, although I'm sure I could come up with a leaner, more polished edit.

What I was reading Wednesday
I don't do What I'm Reading Wednesday, and I'm not doing it properly now. What I'm currently reading is 'Between Two Thorns' by Emma Newman, the first of the Split Worlds series. It's an English-set urban fantasy with elements of historical fiction and mystery. So far, it's a cracking story. What I'll be (re)reading next is 'Bitterblue' by Kristin Cashore.
But what I was (re)reading was 'Fire' by Kristin Cashore.

Revisiting things
Out of Sight is on iPlayer at the moment. I don’t think I’ve watched it since it was first shown on TV (or possibly I rented it out on video. It is about 23 years old.) If my life was cool, I’d want David Holmes to soundtrack it.

I’ve also started rereading what was known as the Seven Kingdoms trilogy but is now the Graceling realm series, before I turn to my copy of ‘Winterkeep’. It was clearly time, because while I remembered the broad sweep and relationships of ‘Graceling’, I was surprised at the details. ( Read more... )

WW84
So, I watched Wonder Woman 1984 on Blu-Ray (my first Blu-Ray) now that I've got a player. It was a few weeks ago, actually, but it took me some time to work through the extras.
I had a mixed reaction to this, although I didn’t want to, but I don’t think it was as good as the first. It’s pretty entertaining (if overlong). But I don’t think there was an awesome bit that felt as sustained as in the first film ( spoilery details )
