Hammer swashbuckler is an odd mixture of the colourful and the stodgy; shipload of dodgy Spanish types fleeing the defeat of the Armada pitch up in Cornwall and try to persuade the isolated local villagers that their side won, so they can get help fixing their ship.

Christopher Lee and a bunch of other Hammer rep stalwarts go through the motions professionally enough, though this isn't strictly speaking a horror movie (much talk of floggings, hangings, and tongues being cut out, though) - the 'village under foreign occupation' theme gives it the feel of a Second World War movie, weirdly enough. Decent sword fights, quite good production values - in the end it passes the time agreeably enough.

These Girls Really Are Killin' It
A couple of British friends chatting about true crime, particularly murder, and discussing just how screwed up humans can be. While the podcast started out as Lux and Sam, it has since changed to Lux and Meg, and while Sam did have a very smooth voice and quick wit, the change to Meg has not made the podcast less than it was - it has simply made it different.
At the end of each episode (starting fairly recently) the girls have a segment where they say what they have been "killin'" each week, to provide a little lift at the end of the episode, and make the world appear a little less depressing.
Altogether, a cracking little podcast, definitely worth a listen.

Just Because
I can not decide what I liked best about this book or what I liked least. However, it was a good young adult book for those who like science fiction with a little bit of romance mixed in.

MILA's world is turned upside down when an accident involving her falling out of the back of a truck end with her mother giving her some information that she would have never guessed. This information starts MILA on a journey to find herself and her place in this world.
