Train to Busan (Netflix, Korean with subtitles)

What better way is there to spend Easter during a global pandemic quarantine than watching a fantastic Korean zombie apocalypse movie?

The Platform (Netflix, Spanish with Subtitles)

A platform descends delivering a limited amount of food from floor to floor in a prison. Each floor contains two inmates. The platform contains less food than there are floors.

The Platform is a disturbing look into the brutal reality of privilege. It dives deep into the darkest self-serving nature humanity has to offer and the lengths we’ll go to survive.

Uncut Gems (2019, Pay-per-View)

Uncut Gems is a less than heartwarming tale of a jeweler’s downward spiral into self destruction due to his gambling addiction and the thrill of the hustle.

I’m going to start referring to my family as “fellow inmates.”

COVID-19, Day 22

Dude Perfect (HULU)

What a great natured and fun group of guys in Texas that do trick shots with athletes and other professionals. Entertaining and family safe. I highly recommend this.

My 6 year-old LOVES this show and we all have a lot of fun watching it together.

Most people are doing really well at playing invisible bumper cars at the grocery store.

COVID-19 Day 15.

Imagine The Walking Dead in 16th century Korea. Except it’s better from the origin. If TWD is your flavor and you can handle subtitles, Kingdom is pure binge worthy. Watch to the end of S1:E3 and convince me I’m wrong.

Buster’s Mal Heart (Netflix)

Buster is less about a “transformation” as the brief description conveys than a downward spiral into deep, tragic mental illness. The outcome of which is always unpredictable. Rami Malek is perfectly disturbed as always.

2 Gallons of Milk

I visit grocery stores daily, just in hope of what I might find. Today I was thrilled to find a few gallons of milk, I bought two because we’ve rationed out what little we had at home for days. I found a loaf of overpriced bread that my kids might eat. We’ll see. No fresh meat, yet. I was happy to see some fresh fruits and vegetables. I even found beef stock and some clean frozen vegetables. Hope to find flour in a day or two so I don’t have to break open our emergency dry goods supply.

Jasmine and Fresh Cut Lawn

He crawled into the bag and pulled the zipper up to his chin, gazing up into the night sky. There were stars and the hint of jasmine in the distance. The park around him was damp, the grass recently cut. There was so much to inhale for the last time. He used the emergency link on his locked mobile phone.
