Diversions to entertain you
This movie reminds me of Goodfellas, but with women in the lead and no mafia. Also, it doesn’t end in regret, but it ends with wondering if all is still good in the world. Was it all worth it?

Ready Or Not?
Movies in theatres are in decline. It’s missing the mid-level movies. It’s nothing but block busters. There’s really nothing showing. Ready Or Not? was a small summer movie. It would’ve been a mid-level movie, but compared to all the rest released this summer, it would’ve fit that bill years ago.
The craziest part of this movie is that it was a deal with the devil. The actual devil! I wasn’t expecting that.
Any how watch it when it comes on cable.

The great A Tribe Called Quest came back with a slammin’ album in the Nation’s time of need – just days after the 2016 election. This is the opening single. Hits hard…
Spider-man: Far From Home is the coda to the first ten years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s just too much of an MCU movie.
Really. I wanted to see something not too much like MCU. Need it to be a little bit like the previous one. Even though it was an MCU movie, it still did not feel like it. Now, since Spidey has been assimilated, it is just like the others. Meh.
I did like the Mysterio twist. We are all in thrall to hero worship.

Millenium Actress is coming back to the theatres for the first time in a long time. You can watch it next week with subs or the week after with dubs. Maybe soon we’ll get a beautiful 4K BluRay soon.
Annabelle Comes Home rounds out the Annabelle Trilogy from the Conjuring Universe. It’s as dumb as you would think of for the third in a trilogy that seems to not really be needed. It got so dumb that there was even a werewolf in it. Yes, a werewolf. DUMB.
I thought that I would hate the character that unleashed the mayhem, but she was somewhat sympathetic — she was trying to contact her dead dad. Although, I would’ve just asked for some psychic consultation. Plus, why’d she have to touch everything.
The scariest thing about it was after the movie. As I was getting to my car, I did not notice this lady behind me. Like she popped out of thin air. As I hopped into my car, she walked a few spaces past. As I pulled out, I noticed that she was still there staring at me. As I passed by her I didn’t want to look, but needed to confirm that she was still staring at me. Yup. She still was there watching me drive away. It was downright creepy. I thought I was going to see her in my living room when I got home! WTF.

Second Nogizaka46 documentary is gonna be released next month. I will cry without ever seeing this because Nogizaka-chans always do.
Shit. I haven’t posted any movie posts. Here’s one to catch up on most everything I’ve seen up til today.
All were decent enough. Not very disappointing. Just not the greatest. I should’ve written a post for each, but my laziness has kicked in.
Nogizaka46’s 23rd Single, “Sing Out!” music video ban has been lifted. Not their best of songs, but certainly brings a smile to my face as all things Nogi does. It will be released at the end of this month. Looking forward to it.
Bring Peas!
The Curse of La Llorona is another film in The Conjuring universe. FIrst, it was the witch. Then it was the doll followed by the nun. Finally, it’s latin folklore. It’s the weeping woman coming for your children.
It could’ve been better. It had too many jump scares. But I still hid from it. But a week later, I’m not scared. Not scared one bit…
Who’s that crying downstairs?
