Two Viewing Recommendations and a Plug
May. 12th, 2025 10:18 amSo, to avoid my social media pages being all-Trump, all the time, herewith are two cultural things I recommend.
Thing #1 - Sinners
I had heard a lot of good things about the vampire movie Sinners, now in it's 4th weekend in theaters. I screened it Saturday night at my local independent watch-and-eat theater. It's very good overall.
What I found most interesting was that, although it's not technically a musical (people don't spontaneously break into song) there's a lot of music and dancing, both traditional Black and Irish folk music.
Thing #2 - Dark Winds
I've been watching the AMC miniseries Dark Winds on Netflix. It's a neo-Western, set on the Navajo reservation in the early 1970s. Again, highly recommended.
Plug - Strawberry Gold
My non-SF novel Strawberry Gold was favorably reviewed by Windy City Reviews. Please see the review here.
