Jeff & I are on holiday until March 19th so, ’til then, have a great week!

Yes, I did watch a lot of movies last week but I had a reason!  Starting Monday, Jeff & I are going to be on vacation for the next two weeks!  So, I wanted to make sure that I watched and wrote up reviews of a lot of films so that I could schedule them to publish while I’m gone.

(Admittedly, there were a few times last week when I found myself watching two or more movies at the same time.  Fortunately, I’m the Queen of Multi-tasking.)

As I sit here writing this, it has finally stopped raining!  Every other day this week, it rained.  By the end of Thursday night, my backyard literally looked like a swamp.  Usually, when the weather gets weird in Texas, it leads to me getting a lot written but that didn’t happen this week.  I was distracted by the combination of the Olympics and Celebrity Big Brother.  Fortunately, both of those are now over.

Here’s what I got accomplished this week.  As I sit here typing this, I’m running a little bit behind in my film reviewing but I should be caught up soon.

Ali shares an open letter to those worried about Black Panther being too black.

10. From Hippie Horror, here are ten feminist horror films!
