Movies: Minecraft

We watched it on HBO Max. A fun adventure with Jack Black and Jason Momoa. I don't recall watching a Jason Momoa movie that I did not enjoy. Nothing too serious and a nice way to spend some time. 

It was also nice to see Emma Myers from Wednesday and A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.

How to Train Your Dragon 2025

This was our first outing to a traditional theater since 2020. We were invited by my sister and it was the perfect re-entry into movie going. We sat in the over 21 section and there were only a few other people in the theater and no one close to us at all.

I did not see the original movie (that I remember) so I went in with no expectations. The dragons were lovely and it was a sweet movie about finding your purpose without sucumbing to the violent tendancies of society. I am glad we saw it.

Vegan Candy: Haribo Rainbow Sour

These are not overwhelmingly sour like some of the others we tried. I could eat this again. The sour fades quickly in this chewy candy. From World Market.

Vegan Candy: Katjes Party Fred

These are in the shape of a very cute pig's head so there is still some guilt even though they are vegan.

They are chewy without being too chewy and more marshmallowy than gummy. From World Market.

The Crow (2024)

Today I watched the Crow on Starz. From 2024 starring Bill Skarsgard. I felt old watching this movie. When the first crow came out, I was young and the cast was older than I was. Now, the characters are still in their 20's while I am not. The premise is very different so don't go into it thinking it is as straight remake. The love story starts in rehab and to me, takes a while to fully get into the swing. Some of the fights are a bit gory for me but overall the movie was fine.

Fountain of Youth

Today I watched Fountain of Youth on Apple TV. A modern take on Indiana Jones with a reminder to have a conscience. Natalie Portman was a joy to watch. A bit predictable but not in a bad way.

Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue

On MGM+

It started slowly but I kept with it for the And Than There Were None premise. It was fun to see Eric McCormack (Will from Will & Grace) and David Ajala (from Supergirl and Star Trek Discovery). 

Vegan Candy: Katjes Glucks-Gefuhle

From World Market. Translates to Kittens lucky feeling. The horse shoe one and brown/red one taste like licorice. Altogether not bad though. The texture is extra chewy.

Vegan Candy: Starburst Gummies

These were from Target. There weren't many in the package but they were good. Boo even likes them. They were more like fruit snacks than gummies.

Vegan Candy: Sour wild strawberry fish

World Market. Boo was smart and opened a small part at the top and dumped out all the extra sour topping before trying it. They are tangy and strawberry-y and the sour didn't hit me until a oment later.
