Terminator: Dark Fate review
'Terminator' & 'Terminator II' Review: This Giant Franchise Stems From a Surprisingly Small Story The Terminator franchise is one of the most successful and iconic sci-fi action franchises in movie history. It all started with a simple premise: a cyborg assassin, the Terminator, is sent back in time to kill Sarah Connor, the mother of a future resistance leader, while a human soldier is sent back to protect her. The first film, "The Terminator" (1984), was directed by James Cameron and starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as the titular character. It was a critical and commercial success and established the franchise's distinctive blend of action, suspense, and special effects.

It's May, It's May - The Lusty Month of May
May 1. No need to identify a year in the above date. At least since Medieval times, the first day of May has been the occasion of zesty celebration!

Tastes of South Korea at Home (Travel from Home #18)
I ventured into H-Mart for the first time ever. A new H-Mart store opened near me about a year ago, but I had never gone in. Choosing South Korea as my destination for December gave me the perfect excuse to force myself to explore it. There was definitely a lot of food with which I wasn’t familiar, but I think I made some decent choices in the end. And I’m proud to get out of my comfort zone and try some new things. With my dietary restrictions and introvert tendencies, that’s not always easy for me (especially during a pandemic). I was astounded by the variety of food available in H-Mart and look forward to going back at some point to sample all the different Oreo and Kit-Kat flavors not available in regular, US grocery stores!

A Journey to Kenya (Travel from Home #15)
In September, I participated in the Slapshot Readathon and got the idea to read the new book Hockey Night in Kenya. So I decided I would fake travel to Kenya for my monthly trip. Finding a restaurant with specifically Kenyan food necessitated driving about an hour and a half to another state, so it was more of a real journey than I’m used to. It took a little planning, but I had a good time with it.

Sainte Amélie, 2001
I once visited a jewelry shop in a Croatian town. I happened upon it. They kept the door propped open to lure potential customers in from the medieval street, and you could hear, smell, and feel the sea from inside of the tiny shop. This shop only played Yann Tiersen’s Amélie soundtrack on repeat (I went back the following day to confirm). I had been floating in the Adriatic Sea moments before I walked past the shop and heard the music. I arrived in Croatia via ferry the night before after being very fortunately stuck in Venice earlier in the week. The ensuing string of equally beautiful and off-plan happenings landed me here in this pearl shop, and it seemed that the music had come from the notably red and green scenes of Amélie’s Paris (i.e. my subconscious) to tell me that this would be one of the perfect times of my life because, to me, Amélie is a perfect movie about chance. I’d go so far as to call it formative to who I am.

Create a Cinematic Vacation
There are few things in life that make my soul as hopeful and happy as romance and travel. The two go hand and hand for me, even if I'm traveling solo. I haven't been on a plane in over a year, which may be the longest stretch of time without leaving my immediate surroundings in my adult life. I haven't been out of America since 2009.

Nomadland: Frances is Fern is US
Nomadland: Frances is Fern is US by Kaley Sutton 2/20/21 Watch Nomadland. It’s exactly the movie we need right now. From the second we press play, we’re captivated by Frances MacDormand and her familiar, unpretty, weathered and real face. We’re fascinated by her honest and clearheaded assessment of her situation. We’re impressed by her frank acceptance and measured decisiveness. Frances McDormand is Fern, who with Chloé Zhao has created an instant classic, a documentary-esque zeitgeist film that has already earned its place among the masterpieces of American cinematography.
