This movie was ok, but a little too clever for my tastes. The beginning was a mass of confusion, but they thankfully (sort of) explained everything as the movie went on. But once they did that, nothing new really happened. And, it did drag on a bit longer than necessary.
My rating: 3/5 (mostly for Chris Hemsworth’s abs)
This was an enjoyable enough read, but I felt like it was trying to ride on the coattails of the It/Stranger Things success. The book wasn’t really long enough (it was less than 300 pages) to fully develop the characters in the manner of It. Ironically, I got the recommendation for this book from Stephen King’s Twitter account. He really liked it, for what it’s worth.
My rating: 3/5
Last night, I found a flea on Esme. Remember when we didn’t have to worry about fleas and ticks in the winter? Those were the days. Since Esme is outside so much, she pretty much uses flea and tick preventative all year round, but I try to give her a little break when the weather is super cold and the little pests are less active. Needless to say, she received a dose this morning.
There certainly wasn’t anything wrong with this movie, I just wasn’t that into it. It was a story about the lives of people who live in motels outside of Disney World. The single mom, unemployable type. Mostly it followed the one woman’s 6 year old daughter. It was definitely well-written and acted. But, like Brian said, every time he walked into the room there was some kind of annoying noise coming out of the speaker (mostly kids screeching).
My rating: 3/5
Buster seems to be doing better. His appetite is back and the medicine did its job. And, he stopped trying to crawl into bed with us (just like a little kid, he likes to sleep with us when he’s sick).
