Damsel (2024) [/] In this Netflix fantasy film Elodie (Millie Bobby Brown) -- the oldest daughter of a small lord with a struggling holding -- is married to the prince of the neighboring rich kingdom. But turns out they do that in order to sacrifice royal princesses to a dragon (Shohreh Aghdashloo) that lives in the mountain. The story is mostly Elodie evading the dragon, trying to escape the mountain, and discovering the background story of why the dragon demands such specific sacrifices... It's an interesting fantasy (well, the dragon is the only fantasy element) story wherein the princess is the one who has to save herself from danger.

Company of Heroes (2013) [-] Direct to video action film. During late 1944 a squad of American soldiers ends up having to go behind enemy lines to Stuttgart to stop the Nazis from deploying an atomic weapon... I watched an hour and it's a bit boring. The first combat scene is well done for small budget but then it's a lot of mist, darkness and closeups though maybe the final combat has more effort.

Simon's Cat - Story Time (2021) [/] This is a match 3 puzzle game in the Simon's Cat franchise. The theme is actually pretty good in that there's a story where characters talk and the cats do things and each puzzle advances the story a bit. The puzzles start out easy and get more challenging since you only have a certain number of moves and there are blocks and obstacles. But doing bigger matches unlocks power-ups so there is thinking involved trying to setup a big match for a good power-up. Not my type of game but was entertaining for an hour or so.

Sama Coffee Shop, San Mateo [/] This is a small family owned coffee place that also has Thai tea and various Turkish Delight desserts. We visited Saturday night after dinner and it was full (most/all seats taken the half hour we were there) though not packed. I had a Toffee Ginger Blast ($7, 16 oz) - caramel, ginger, espresso. It was pretty good though as indicated did take a while to make as they have one espresso machine.
