“Rental Family” Austin, 2025

We saw the movie Rental Family today and it was great! At first I was a little worried that the story might turn into a series of short episodes that followed Brendan Fraser’s character from job to job, kind of like an episodic J-Dorama. But it turned out to be a real surprise. The plot tied together beautifully and the ending was fantastic. The movie was funny, heartbreaking, and absolutely gorgeous to look at. There were even a couple of clever twists that I did not see coming. I highly recommend it!

“Long Way Home” Cedar Park, 2025

Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman are back! Their fourth “Long Way” series “Long Way Home” sees them tackling Europe on vintage motorbikes, and I’m loving it. After a slightly bumpy “Long Way Up,” where the electric motorcycle charging issues became a bit of a drag, they seem to have found their stride again. I’ve only seen the first two episodes, but I’m already hooked and can’t wait for the rest of the season!
