Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023) [/] Aquaman (Jason Momoa) needs the help of his imprisoned brother Orm (Patrick Wilson) in order to defeat Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) who wants to free the ancient Atlantean Kordax (Pilou Asbæk) and his undead legions... It's kind of a fun underwater romp action movie. I guess because so much of it is underwater the special effects are a bit campy. Overall a better film than I expected.
Slow Horses s3 (2023) [-] In this season the slow horses are tangled up in a scheme to find a specific document in cold storage, a document that will bring down the head of MI5 who is in turn willing to have all the slow horses killed to protect her secret. This season is not as good as previous ones though maybe because the show lost its newness factor. I was kind of going through the motions watching it, i.e. it was on but wasn't really paying attention much too often.
SongPop Party (2021) [/] A muti-player song trivia game on Apple Arcade. Choose a category for the game, e.g. Essential 90's or Best of 1998 (I think other decades open up as you complete more games. Part of a song starts playing. There are four choices of either all song names or all bands. Choose the right one faster to get more points. After 10 rounds there is a winner. Has a wide variety of songs and you can play with people on other devices.
Crepevine, Burlingame [/] We had delivery from here and there are several locations in the Bay Area. It was a while ago but I think I had the San Francisco crepe and remember it was both good and bigger than I thought. Comes with french fries so quite a filling meal for $19.
