Movies watched
Accident Man — Interest little assassin movie.
Robin Hood (2018) — Honestly a bit of a trainwreck. No thank you.
Lost Horizon (1937) — J was surprised that I had never seen this one. Very good!
The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai — It’s been awhile since I watched this one. Very crazy! Just like I remembered it.
Mega Time Squad — Weird little movie from New Zealand.
The Three Musketeers (1973) and The Four Musketeers (1974) — We continued with our re-watching of all The Three Musketeers adaptations with this two-parter from the 1970s. I always forget the random weird shit going on in the background in these.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse — Oh so good! And the animation style is just amazing!

Comments - Another great reading month! I didn’t follow my library ban and read a ton from my shelves, but I did read a ton. And many of those books were ones that had been on my TBR list for awhile now. SO I’m calling it a good job! Having a ton of snow days helped. I’m super excited about March’s TBR pile. Can’t wait to dive in!
