Elektra (2005) [/] Elektra (Jennifer Garner) is back from the dead doing assassin jobs but her latest assignment involves a father (Goran Višnjić) and his daughter Abby (Kirsten Prout) and she instead decides to protect them from various The Hand ninjas and Kirigi's (Will Yun Lee) superhuman team of assassins... I reviewed this back in Dec 2009 and it seemed average. Just rewatched it again (this time Director's Cut version) and it's still a perfectly ok superhero-ish action film.

Mother's Day (2023) [-] Polish action film. Former special forces sniper Nina (Agnieszka Grochowska) comes out of hiding to rescue her estranged son Max (Adrian Delikta) from criminals who want revenge on her. It's a rather confusing film though and a bit anti-climactic big confrontation towards the end. Also immediately sets up a sequel. Overall not worth watching.

Taiko no Tatsujin Pop Tap Beat (2021) [/] This is an Apple Arcade music rhythm game from Bandai Namco. Your instrument is a Japanese drum which you hit solidly (left or right) or on the side (left or right) and sometimes a two-handed tap. The songs are a mix of popular, video games, and classical. Even on easy this game is quite difficult for me but it seems like a fun game.

Trader Joe's Sour Cream Spinach Dip [/] Not too much sour cream taste so you can maybe taste a bit of the spinach. Ate it with yellow round tortilla chips and it tasted quite fine. $4 for 11 oz and 800 calories. If I buy it again maybe also buy artichoke hearts and mix them in.
