Family, Wrestling & the Rock: Fighting with My Family
Fighting with My Family
Directed By: Stephan Merchant
I must admit going into Fighting with My Family I never understood the pull of wrestling and apart from a period of time in high school when my family was into it never paid much attention wrestling.
But hey I hadn’t been to the cinema since Glass so I gave it a go.

I Don’t Need Much…
On Tuesday, actually sometime Monday night I suppose, I’m going to own Aquaman. Then I will be able to study it in all its glory. Essays. Dissertations. Or I’ll probably just endlessly watch it. Also Tuesday Taylor Jenkins Reid’s new book Daisy Jones and the Six will be released and I am ready!
So all in all it should be a good entertainment week. And Captain Marvel!
The Zombie Musical I Never Knew I Always Wanted…
Directed by: John McPhail
Grade: A
I tried watching a holiday Zombie musical and darn it I loved it! This is also the second zombie movie I’ve seen that has seriously made me cry. (Train to Busan being the first.)

What Makes an Evil Queen Tale Work?
I read Forest of a Thousand Lanterns recently because I am always in the mood for an Evil Queen story. So I was a little surprised by how much I disliked Xifeng and not in a hate to love way either. Or even in a well obviously she’s going to be the evil Queen way.
I think it’s a fine line to walk with unlikeable characters Evil Queen or not. But I have some ideas on what works and what, for me, didn’t work for this particular would be Evil Queen.
Zodiac Sign Recommendations: Aquarius
Well the Aquarius sign holds a special place in my heart. It’s traits include: true bohemian, logic combined with creativeness, a concern for the underdog and human rights. They are also gifted communicators, team players and full of great humor. But full of contradictions (like most people.) So I tried to pick the recommendations that most played into those.
I do like that one of the “issues” is flashes of unexpected rage. Um, yeah. I got that…
