Sep 28, 2021
Positives:
Well! This should be a case study for Zack Snyder that you don’t need a film to be a bladder-busting 242 minutes in order to tell a story. At just 80 seconds long, this is a masterclass in subliminal editing.
The film is both disturbing and quirky. Is the tattooist just day-dreaming? Is what he is thinking about down in his shop’s cellar right now? Is the semi-naked girl on the table to be next? All questions and no answers are forthcoming!
It’s impressive when you think of all of the production design that had to go into making each of those subliminal shots (e.g. the still below). As in Wong’s previous short film (“The Story of 90 Coins“), the lighting and cinematography is first rate.
Negatives:
None. For what it is, it’s very impressive.

Dec 15, 2024 (Updated Dec 15, 2024)
Here, Ted Danson plays a lonely widower who, following the death of his wife from Alzheimer's, seems to be drifting more and more away from having any meaning in life himself, and from his own daughter, until that daughter challenges him to find something to do with his time.
So he answers a newspaper ad, and is hired to infiltrate an OAP home, following the hiring of a Private Detective (who is too young to do so herself) to investigate the potential theft in said OAP.
And, of course, Charles finds himself connecting more and more with the residents and staff of the OAP, as well as with his daughter, as a result, in a 'feel good' series that still also has its share of sad moments ...

Infinity Chronicles:Book 2
By Albany Walker
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m learning to accept that my entire life has been a lie, and that with my mother’s disappearance there are mysteries I may never uncover. Not to mention, my abilities are manifesting and I’m just beginning to understand what being part of an Infinity really means.
As my relationship with each guy grows, so does the Infinity bond between us. Living with four moody guys—who give me butterflies with a simple look—can be slightly overwhelming. Still, I need answers, and moving forward is the only way to get them.
But there is a problem—each revelation provokes new questions, and secrets I may not be ready for are rising to the surface.
I found myself enjoying this a lot more than the first book. We had a lot more interest and a bit more story development. The characters were rounding out and coming into their own.
