The Hollow by Agatha Christie – Book Review

February 23, 2021July 8, 2022yggdrasille
The Hollow may not be one of Christie’s most ingenious and inventive mysteries, but it stands out as one of her more unusual crime novels, where the crime itself is a distant second to the character study.

Selena – Film Review

February 19, 2021July 8, 2022yggdrasille
This biopic about the life and career of Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, a Mexican-American singer who was tragically killed at the age of 23, feels too reverential for its own good. But it has a lot of heart and energy, and a wonderful star-making performance by Jennifer Lopez.

More sci-fi horror in Melbourne Lockdown Part 3! I watched this decently entertaining 2000 cult classic that launched Vin Diesel’s career.

Cat Kisses – A Poem

February 13, 2021July 8, 2022yggdrasille

Sandpaper kisses
on a cheek or a chin –
that is the way

for a day to begin!

Sandpaper kisses –
a cuddle, a purr.
I have an alarm clock

that’s covered in fur.

– Bobbi Katz

Wild Rose – Film Review

February 9, 2021July 8, 2022yggdrasille
This uplifting movie about an aspiring country singer has all the requisite tropes – scrappy origins, raw talent, inner demons and hard-won redemption – but manages to soar thanks to some different story beats and an electrifying performance from Jessie Buckley.

Quote of the Day

February 2, 2021yggdrasille

“One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few sensible words.”
