 “Spooky in Love” Cedar Park, 2026

The final episode of Spooky in Love was released today. I’ve been enjoying this K-dorama quite a bit, though I’ll admit I was ready for it to wrap up. It started out with a really fun premise, but the story drifted away from the ghost-seeing aspect toward the end and leaned more into corporate intrigue, which wasn’t quite as interesting to me. Still, Park Eun-bin was great in it, and it was a pretty different role from Extraordinary Attorney Woo or The Wonderfools. On to the next one. 😊

 “Lawrence of Arabia” Cedar Park, 2026

I started watching Lawrence of Arabia. It’s a very long film, so I’ve only made it through the first hour so far, but I’m already hooked. Those wide desert vistas are stunning, and Peter O’Toole was incredibly cool. Looking forward to finding time to finish it. 🎬

 “Castaway Diva” Cedar Park, 2026

I’ve been watching the Korean dorama Castaway Diva</em> lately, and it’s a lot of fun. The story has so many twists, though. Episode 7 especially packed a lot in. If you’re looking for something to watch, I’d definitely give it a look. 😊

 “Mando and Grogu Movie” Austin, 2026

Tonight we saw The Mandalorian and Grogu, and honestly, what a fun movie! I’d recommend it even if you’re not really a Star Wars person. Mariko isn’t a huge fan, but she has a soft spot for Jabba the Hutt. So when more Hutts showed up on the big screen, she was thrilled. It was pretty funny to see her light up like that. 😄

 “Sally Field” Cedar Park, 2026

I read Remarkably Bright Creatures last year, so when I heard a movie adaptation was coming, I was already interested. What I didn’t expect was to find it available so soon. I put it on with a little extra excitement.

It was really good! I only vaguely remembered the details of the story, but Sally Field as Tova was a standout. She brought that character to life exactly the way I imagined her from the book. Just incredible. There were a couple of cheesy moments here and there, like when Cameron sang at the bar, but overall it was a warm, fun watch that absolutely pulled on the heartstrings. 🎬 I highly recommend it, especially if you liked the book.

 “Hirayasumi and Yuzu” Cedar Park, 2026

I finished the 20-episode live-action Hirayasumi tonight. 😊 I loved every minute of it — the story, pacing, and characters all come together to make a really lovely slice-of-life show. Season one only covers up to book four of the manga (or so I’ve read), so I’m really hoping more seasons are on the way. 9/10
