Finally watched: Thrash on Netflix. Solid watch — scary and tense at times, and clearly not done. Apparently there may be a sequel on the way. By the way, watch out for those bush sharks! 😬
★★★½☆
Watched: Sisu: Road to Revenge 🍿
Sisu — a Finnish word with no direct English translation. Think grit, resilience, and sheer stubborn will to survive, all rolled into one. That’s also the whole movie.
Post-WWII Finland. Ex-commando Aatami Korpi just wants to move his family’s house somewhere safe — until the Soviet commander who murdered his family comes hunting for him. Brutal chase movie. Ridiculous action. Jorma Tommila doesn’t say a word the entire film and still carries every scene.
Apparently there’s a first one I haven’t seen yet. Adding it to the watchlist.
Total blast.
★★★½☆
Watched: The Carpenter’s Son 🍿 ★★★☆☆
Always fascinated by Bible stories about Jesus — especially his life at birth, age 12, and 30–33. This one pulls from the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, an apocryphal text covering ages 5–12 and Jesus’s uneasy relationship with his father. Interesting territory.
I’m curious to find out what became of that boy who transforms into something completely different…
Added to my watchlist: The Wolf and the Lamb 🍿
I forgot to post this over Easter weekend. Better late than never, right?
Did you know?
In 17th-century New England, celebrating Easter was actually illegal. The Puritans believed the holiday lacked biblical basis and even imposed fines on those who refused to work!Read the Full Story

Not everything needs 1,000 words. Here’s what caught my eye last week — a day late, but worth the wait.
Sunday, April 5
I passed my driver’s test on Friday.
Thirty years since I last sat behind a wheel.
Later today I do a practice drive to see if the rest of my brain remembers what to do.
Nervous. Excited. Mostly just hoping muscle memory is a real thing.
Wish me luck.
Watchlist: Mother Mary 🍿 It will come out on April 22nd.
Check out the Trailer.
