Definitely too CGI-ey for my liking. "Bud" gave me quite Baby Yoda-esque vibes. And I'm not terribly feeling either the direction the possible sequel might be taking given the ending. 🤨 But at least it's no The Predator! 🤫 #PredatorBadlands 📽️🎞️
Frame from the sci-fi action movie 'Predator: Badlands' (2025). An alien Yautja (Mike Homik as Kwei) wilding a blade in its right hand standing on the opening of a massive cave.

Once #Si2u finally kicks off it keeps moving in such a frenetic pace that you almost feel exhausted after the first third and cannot actually believe there's still almost an hour to go. 😲 But it's then that #SisuRoadToRevenge unfortunately almost literally, twice, jumps the shark for me. 🫣 #Sisu2 📽️🎞️

🎄 I'm not sure whether it's just drinking so unusually much herbal tea it's finally having an effect on me... 😕 Or whether it was just the slight licourice-ish aftertaste. But I wasn't expecting to actually like this after all. ☕️

🎄 I do like Earl Grey quite a bit! So this is definitely one of the best ones so far in the tea Advent calendar. Even if I don't taste the lemon and lavender that's supposedly there. ☕

🎄 Overbearing smell and taste of peppermint. Which isn't a bad thing 'cos I doubt I would've particularly cared for "radiant blend" of fennel and nettle that supposedly is there with the peppermint. ☕️

Bangkok's oriental exoticism switched to Hong Kong but sequel's basically the same film as the first. Certain bits haven't aged well and can actually be triggering to some. But it'll titillate enough just like the first #Emmanuelle. #EmmanuelleLAntivierge #Emmanuelle2 #EmmanuelleTheJoysOfAWoman 📽️🎞️

On top of the poster on a white background the tagline "Nothing is wrong if it feels good." in black letters. On the poster an image of a brown haired moustached man (Umberto Orsini as Jean) on the left about to kiss a brown haired woman (Sylvia Kristel as Emmanuelle) on the right. A younger woman (Catherine Rivet as Anna-Maria) lying on her back underneath the man. Below the image the text "Paramount Pictures presents Emmanuelle The Joys of a Woman" in black letters.

🎄 When I first saw this I was certain it would taste absolutely rubbish! But that didn't turn out to be the case. Although I didn't detect the "uplifting lemony zing" it was the "gingery rush" that saved this for me. ☕

🎲 Admittedly not as funny as you might assume a Robin Williams movie to be. And since it's focusing more on the thrills might not be the most suitable choice for too young. 🫣 #Jumanji 📽️🎞️

Well worth its lengthy running time. And while it might be easy for some to think that #Heat is just Al Pacino's and Robert De Niro's rodeo. Lest we forget that the film has an absolutely brilliant ensemble cast supporting the film's two stars! 📽️🎞️

On the left standing in front of a white car a grey haired man (Tom Sizemore as Michael Cheritto) wearing a dark brown jacket and dark trousers.

🎄 Didn't find this particularly "heart-warming" in taste, or even smell (mix of rose, chamomile and lavender). 😐 Prime example of why I don't generally care for herbal teas. ☕️

And two things became abundantly clear while rewatching #UncleBuck. The world was deprived of John Candy's brilliance way too soon. And the importance of casting absolutely RIGHT when it comes to child actors. 📽️🎞️
