The Space Between the Trees by Jo Kaplan ★★★½☆ Baba Yaga’s daughter doesn’t like how she is viewed from the victims side, but decides it’s better than actually being a victim.
Sugar and Spice and the Old Witches Price by Lisa Quigley ★★★★★
"One last, deep breath, and the vines overtake my heart. I am finally home."
(view spoiler) Houswifing was not as fun as it looked on 50s TV shows. But it’s never too late to go back to that soothing cabin in the forest.
Birds of a Feather by Monique Snyman ★★★★½
A hunted woman is saved by Baba Yaga who teaches her the ways of the forest and retribution.
The Continental, a John Wick prequel series: https://youtube.com/watch?v=XetkHhnBM...I was looking forward to this but the preview looks sepia, dull faced, and budget. Too bad.
I knew you’d love Moonlight and Moss!
They both would have been fine stand alones, right up there with Top Gun. Yes, I enjoyed the new Top Gun but your point of diminishing quality stands.
Rogue One.
I keep telling myself there are only three Indians Jones. Like I tell myself there are only four Star Wars.
Flood Zone by Donna Lynch ★★★★☆ Baba Yaga and The Beach House of Greedy Horror followed by Revenge of the Snake.
The Peddler’s Promise by Catherine McCarthy ★★★★☆
“Have any of you wondered why not one of our daughters has been able to open her box?”
Because the things girls want are to big and important to ever fit in a box. But their brothers greedy hearts filled Baba Yaga’s belly.
The D&D Movie gets ★★★½☆, it was generally enjoyable and paid respect to Critical Role by mentioning Fresh Cut Grass repeatedly. FCG is a character invented by Sam Riegel, the best player of D&D. The some of the weird parts were a campaign with no cleric, no potions, ludicrous amounts of beast-shape change, and a morbidly obese dragon. I hope it makes enough to try again with a sequel but the theater was sparse compared to last weeks John Wick opening.And that was the lamest Tiefling.
Anyone going to brave the nearest D&D movie? I’m thinking of going Friday, I enjoyed the first day crowd at John Wick.
My stomach said Yes, my arteries said No.
Indeed.
Mama Yaga by Christina Sng ★★★★½ “…many curious children still wander the woods, looking for my cottage. I always welcome them in with a smile and a basketful of candy.”
Ooh. Here’s we go with the dark happy cannibalism. This short remembrance of Baba Yaga through the ages was violent, grotesque, and funny. My favorite part was the modern Yaga who wrote a bestseller and keeps her door open. Whahaha!
In enjoyed John Wick 4 in a rowdy theater of fans! Other than one long, unsuccessful, overhead shot of a gun fight that looked like GI Joes in a doll house, the movie fulfilled its deadly promise.(view spoiler)
Disagree, the wig with the porn stash is worse.
I was going to try watching Daisy Jones but then I saw what they had done to Timothy Olyphant’s hair: https://www.google.com/amp/s/decider....How could you!
That was great! It reminded me of the Heavy Metal movies.
Ooh, it’s good time to catch up as the fourth movie is coming out this week! I loved that his scary moniker is that of a woman.
Wormwood by by Lindz McLeod ★★★★☆ “To take something requires that you give something back in equal measure. A hand for a spell. A life for a life.”
Baba Yaga brings justice for a murdered woman. Less magic than old school psychological manipulation, but I liked it all the same.
Of Moonlight and Moss by Sara Tantlinger ★★★★½ “Would they do the same for you?” The words strike me like a slap to the face.
A classic fairytale style story of the abused unwanted sister. I was worried she would choose the tragic hero trope. Nope, my girl liked her vengeance served on an obsidian plate!
