Apple TV+ Series - Tehran s2 (2022) [/] Tamar Rabinyan (Niv Sultan) is an Israeli Mossad agent undercover in Iran. After a successful mission in s1 she stayed in Iran for revenge on General Qasam Mohammadi (Vassilis Koukalani) who had her aunt and uncle hung for helping her. But Tamar has become a bit of a loose cannon which is a problem for her new handler Marjan (Glenn Close), also undercover in Iran (and in turn Tamar doesn't trust that Mossad won't sacrifice her and her boyfriend if it's expedient)... Tehran remains an interesting and entertaining show but a bit too many twists starts to push it into soap opera. Still, I'm willing to watch s3 which Apple green lit.

Netflix Movie - Make Me Believe (2023) [/] Turkish romantic film. Magazine editor Sasha (Ayça Aysin Turan) to try to convince award-winning photographer Deniz (Ekin Koç) to do an exclusive interview. It's awkward because they were teen sweethearts and it ended badly. But their grandmothers and two friends conspire separately to keep them together until the romance rekindles... Good enough romantic film.

Movie - The Huntsman: Winter's War (2016) [-] A sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) with Chris Hemsworth returning as Eric the Huntsman. There's a 30m prequel showing his origins and how he lost his love Sara (Jessica Chastain) to the Winter Queen Freya (Emily Blunt). Then we're back to post Snow White where Eric must save the kingdom from Queen Freya and her troops, some of them his old comrades... I barely liked Snow White and the Huntsman and I guess I was expecting a prequel movie. Once Sara dies and we move forward 7 years I lost interest and stopped watching.

Sushi Sam's Edomata, San Mateo [/] We went to dinner here. It's a bit more expensive and it's supposed to be good. I had salmon teriyaki and a sushi roll and both were ok. It's a nice place but don't see why it would be more popular than the other sushi places in downtown.
