Wow! Time is flying! Especially with festival coverage hanging in the air! Another week is done and we’re only 5 weeks away until the year ends. Its crazy to think about that!
This past week has been very heavy on WATCHING and trying to catch up on some gaming, although a lot of straying off path. Let’s check it out!
READING
Currently reading: Love, Potions & Other Calamities
Zero progress in reading this past week! I did try to but it has been a lot of the other things taking over the usual reading time I would have.
PLAYING
- Cube Escape: Paradox (Review)
- Rusty Lake Hotel
Currently playing: Afterparty, Rusty Lake Roots
Gaming has been moving forward a little more. I really wanted to wrap up the Cube Escape: Paradox completely before continuing anything else. And I got that done and even managed to take a breather from writing to start and finish Rusty Lake Hotel. It was a playthrough but still so much fun to play. Its a lot more grounded in the puzzles than Cube Escape: Paradox and that is why I prefer it over to Cube Escape: Paradox. With that said, the Rusty Lake world is a fun place to dive into with all its twists and oddities.
WATCHING
- Paradox: A Rusty Lake Film (short, 2018)
- Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (2000)
Not a whole lot of normal viewing as expected. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is a continuation for recording for Movies and Tea. We still have a few episodes until we get there so I’m not going to say much about it but I definitely appreciate it a lot more this time than the last time I saw it back in the theatres in 2000 when I was much younger.
Blood in the Snow Festival
- Funny Frights (Shorts Program, Review)
- She Never Died (2019, Review)
- Dead Dicks (2019, Review)
- Sky So Blue (short 2019, Review)
- One in Two Place (short 2019, Review)
- Songs My Mother Taught Me (short 2019, Review)
- Break In Break Out (short 2019, Review)
- The Nights Before Christmas (2019)
- Emerging Screams (Shorts Program, Review)
- Majic (2019, Review)
- Hunter’s Moon (2019)
- Giltrude’s Dwelling (short 2019, Review)
- EXT (short 2019, Review)
- The Remnant (short 2019, Review)
Blood in the Snow Festival started a bit iffy for myself but its been a very strong last few movies so far. I wrapped up the week watching two very solid films: Majic and Hunter’s Moon. Both are unique in their own regards. The first with a great script and you can read the review now, so I won’t go too much into it. The second is a unique premise and how it was executed and also had a nice level of fun. I’m a bit behind on the reviews for the Festival but it’ll be done very soon.
BINGING
- Relation Ship (Season 1, 2019)
Currently binging: When I Grow Up, Viva La Romance (Season 2), Lipstick Prince (Season 2), Chase Me, Nailed It! Holiday (Season 2), Who’s the Murderer (Season 5)
I’ve started a lot of things that are ongoing or just finished but as the festival is taking up a lot of time, I just haven’t had as much time to catch up. Relation Ship actually wrapped up its first season of the reality show. While I have a few critics on the structure of it all and the feasibility, they did manage to give it a pretty fun time while feeling rather genuine. I’m ready to put together a huge post on this type of shows for fun. Its been in the planning for a while but decided for this to finish before discussing it.
That’s it for what’s up with me!

Really good break-down on the various media aspects of your week! When I saw your article on my blogging feed, I noticed the poster for ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’! I reviewed that movie recently, so I’m looking forward to reading your thoughts on the film! Here’s the link to my review if you want to check it out:

Thanks for stopping by! Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon will only be as a podcast discussion on Movies and Tea (moviesandteapodcast.wordpress.com). Its an upcoming episode but not sure when it’ll be released yet. I might do a little written piece over there for it as part of our Ang Lee retrospective season recap.
