Zulu (1964) [+] I watched this when I was a kid. Watched it in 2011. Recently rewatched this again (on Amazon Prime Video Freevee) and still a good action film and I guess this time I liked it better than last time. I love Michael Caine and this was one of his first big roles... This British film depicts the Battle of Rorke's Drift from the British POV where 100-odd soldiers held off 20 times their number.
Wild Eyed and Wicked (2024) [/] A small drama film. Lily (Molly Kunz) comes back to the country home of her estranged father Gregory (Michael X Sommers). Mom Silvia (Stefanie Estes) committed suicide when Lily was young and Lily has been carrying that trauma ever since. But as the two go through mom's old things Lily comes to realize that it was some evil spirit that caused mom's death and the spirit is now after Lily... It's a very low budget film but not bad.
Red Sonja: Queen of Plagues (2016) [-] An animated film based on Dynamite Entertainment's Red Sonja v1: Queen of Plagues story arc. The style takes direct images of comic book panels and animates them so it's more like an animated comic book than an animation video. Not a really appealing animation style though the story and voice acting are fine. Starring Misty Lee as Red Sonja, Shannon Kingston as Sonja's shield maiden sisters Ayla and Nias, Becca Strom as Sonja's nemesis Dark Annisia.
Trader Joe's Sea Salted Saddle Potato Crisps [/] Basically TJ's version of Pringles. Not quite as salty or as crisp as regular Pringles but still pretty good and cheaper.
