"Ah'll be back ..." (to rewatch this)
For may people the best film in The Terminator series, with big Arnie again reprising his most iconic role and with Linda Hamilton returning to her role as Sarah Connor, the mother of the future leader of the Resistance against Skynet, John Connor.

For reason that are never fully explained, after the failure of the first Terminator to kill Sarah Connor in the 1980s, a second Terminator is sent back in time, this time to the early 1990s, in an effort to track down and kill John Connor (played, here, by a then unknown Edward Furlong).

As before, the Resistance are able to send back a lone protector through time ...

And, I have to say, now nearly 30 years after they were first seen, the 'liquid metal' T-1000 effects still hold up pretty well!

Ptolemy's Gate (Bartimaeus, #3)

Book Rating
The final part in Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeus trilogy, all set in an alternative modern-day-ish London where magic is a real thing and with those able to wield it (or, more accurately, able to summon various magical creatures including Djinni to carry out their orders) in power, again following (roughly chapter about) the main three characters of the magician John Mandrake, his Djinni Bartimaeus and the commoner Kitty Jones who has magical resistance.

Which, as the ages-old Djinni Bartimaeus points out, is something he has seen time and time again throughout the ages: those able to perform magic rise to the top until magical resistance starts growing amongst the downtrodden commoners, who then over-through their rulers.

The trilogy, as a whole, I felt is enjoyable enough but does need to be read in order, with this perhaps the best.

"The level of craft at work in each of the poems in “Don’t Call Us Dead” is exceptional. These are poems about black men and their imperiled, impassioned bodies, what it means to live with HIV, and so much more. There is pain here but there is so much joy, so much fierce resistance to anything that dares to temper the stories being told here."
