Three movies this weekend

So we watched three movies this weekend! It wasn't a lazy Sunday, but it was a relaxing Sunday.  And..... it's Monday so I get to give you very vague mediocre reviews! Lucky you!  

 

Ghosts of War 

The first movie we watched was Ghosts of War.  I really liked this movie and the twist at the end.  I actually was not expecting it at all which is nice, because most of the time you can already figure out what is going to happen. 4 out of 5 from me.

The taking of Deborah Logan

The second movie was The Taking of Deborah Logan.  Now I know where this iconic image comes from!!!! I enjoyed the movie. I'd give it a 3.5 out of 5. Story line was okay, loved the makeup and special effects.  Definitely a weekend/nothing else to do movie.

This was a cool scene

The last movie was Blood Vessel.  I'd give this one a 3 out of 5 for the movie and a 4 out of 5 for the vampire mask/makeup.  I wasn't too thrilled with the story line of this movie and there were a lot of cliche shit like hearing a scary noise so you go investigate. Oh! Let's open this coffin looking item and see if the fountain of youth is in it! Ugh! LOL, I need movies that have decently intelligent characters, but then we wouldn't have all the blood and gore or 90 minute movies, right? 

Relic (2020)

Relic is a 2020 horror drama film directed by Natalie Erika James in her directorial debut, from a screenplay by James and Christian White. It stars Emily Mortimer, Robyn Nevin and Bella Heathcote. The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2020, and was released on July 3, 2020 in the United States by IFC Midnight, and July 10 in Australia on streaming service Stan.

Welcome, back for another mediocre review, LOL!!

Overall, not a bad movie at all! This movie had a lot of different layers too it, at no point did I feel that it was too long or drawn out. This movie had the right amount of each ingredient.  Huge brownie points - the CGI was MINIMAL, I really can't say I noticed any at all, tbh.
  
Without spoiling the movie, I loved the rabbit hole that the mother and sister went down during the climax of the movie. 

As always, watch it and come up with your own opinion and come back next Monday for another mediocre review from your "Spooky Step-Mom" 😂😂😂

Tech N9ne - N9na album

Have you ever felt like music has just slipped away from you? I know I have.  There's a few artists that I really enjoy and I have for a really long time.  I feel like Tech N9ne puts out so much music, so fast that every time I turn around he's got a new album or a new collab out.  I'd like to start using my remaining quarantine time to catch up on music. Today I'm listening to his "new to me" album N9na released on April 18, 2019.  That's how out of touch with music I am.  I don't have those 30 minute drives in the car on the way to and from work to listen to music anymore so I have no idea what has been going on in the music would.  I love Tech N9ne's music because it make me experience so many different emotions. Hype, somber, gritty, happy, funny, fast... everything!  
I remember back in the day when I used to run a website called SomethingPunk.com I was going around interviewing artists from tons of bands and I was lucky enough to meet Tech N9ne. I've met him a couple more times over the years at concert meet & greets and he has never changed. He's so full of love and happiness - especially for his fans.  I am so happy to see that he's always changing and evolving his musical talent.

This is the first time I met Tech N9ne at his first ever show in Dallas, TX. 
I was so star struck that I didn't even realize he was speaking to me directly. 
I was just stunned. LOL!
