Happy #LetterboxdFriday!
Two this week - Double Indemnity was great, Going My Way was not.

Happy #LetterboxdFriday!
Finally watched the final Best Picture nominated films - the worst of the selection.
A darkly entertaining drama, which will a bit too close to the bone for some.
An incredibly well acted noir. Slow and psychological.
First trip to a hamam and it was certainly an experience. I feel beaten up, but in the kindest possible way.
Is it just me that finds the Dracula/Nosferatu story a comforting watch?
Now onto my 7th/8th adaptation of the story...
Happy #LetterboxdFriday!
A couple of comfort rewatches, silliness from Monty Python and a pretty faithful Hitchcock adaptation.
By Blood, By Salt by J.L. Odom
Undoubtedly an extremely well written political and military self-pub fantasy that deals with colonialism and othering. It perhaps leaned too much on varying political machinations over everything else that could have been explored in the world.

Not gonna lie, the last couple of weeks have been tough, so haven't been able to watch anything like what I've wanted to...
Seascraper by Benjamin Wood
A gentle, atmospheric story of a man trawling the beach to sell shrimp. It packs so much in, in a short space of time, but the main one of duty vs passion absolutely made it for me. Tom is such an an honest and endearing character.
Dreams Of Fire by Shauna Lawless
An excellent prequel novella to the Gael Song series. We learn more about the rival factions and instantly hooked into the characters lives. It tackles themes of sisterhood, freedom and being at peace with one's own mortality.
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
A complex revenge story that was rich in characterisation and a good feel for the time period. I found the second third a bit of a struggle, as the events laid out were far too long winded in spite of them being important to the story.
