I used the winter vacations for follow up on a few movies I hadn't seen yet that I had on my to-do list for quite a while. So, here is my list with short reviews in a lightning round! Maybe you'll find inspiration as well.

So, I went to the movies with my son and a friend of his (both six years old) and watched the new Spiderman movie. You know, the animated one. It got raving reviews, so I wanted to know whether it really is any good. And to take the major thing out of the way directly: oh boy yes, it's good. Like, really good.

There is a common joke about literature teachers going like this.

Author writes: "The curtains were blue."

Lit teacher says: "This reflects on the generally depressed state of the protagonist."

Author meant: "The curtains were blue."

Ha ha ha. Drum rolls.
