Dark Encounter, 2019 - ★★★½

Strange film. Not sure what to make of it. Combination of child disappearance and alien encounter. Very well filmed and acted - definitely not got the look or feel of a low budget, made for TV movie (which I don't believe it was).

The Highwaymen, 2019 - ★★★

Watched on Thursday March 21, 2024.

Finished reading: Bessie Smith by Jackie Kay 📚

Two very close, exciting games of Six Nations rugby today. Two unexpected results for Italy 🇮🇹 and England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. A little compensation for this morning’s cricket humiliation! 🏉👏

Watching rugby - Italy 🇮🇹 v 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland - and drinking a Dead Canary 🍺🏉
