Henry and Mudge under the yellow moon

But there was one thing about Halloween that Henry did not like: ghost stories. And Henry’s mother loved to tell ghost stories. Every Halloween, she put on her witch’s hat, lit candles, and told ghost stories. She thought Henry liked them because he told her he liked them. But really he hated them. They scared him. He was afraid to tell her that.

Henry is a young boy who loves his dog Mudge. Henry and Mudge Under the Yellow Moon consists of three stories, Together in the Fall, Under the Yellow Moon, and Thanksgiving Guest. The above quotation is from the second story, Under the Yellow Moon. Mudge is also frightened by ghost stories!

Replicas, and other matters…

Today we saw the trailer for Replicas, a movie starring Keanu Reaves. It is scheduled to start in January in the U.S. In the story, Keanu Reeves brings his wife and children back to life after they die in an accident. But that is against the law, and the company that makes the cloning technology says the cones belong to the company.

In the Nations League football tournament, England won their group and will take part in the finals next summer, along with Portugal, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Today we watched the trailer for Replicas, a movie starring Keanu Reeves that is scheduled to be released in January in the U.S. It is set in the near future in a time when it is possible to clone human beings. The character played by Keanu Reeves loses his wife and children in an accident but brings them back to life afterwards. His wife feels something strange and asks him what is going on, so he has to tell her that she is dead. It looks pretty exciting.

In the EPL, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Spurs continue to do well. Chelsea suffered their first defeat, and Manchester United gave another poor performance, with their match ending in a draw.

Toy Story 4, and other matters…

Today we watched two trailers for Toy Story 4, which is due out next summer. They were just teaser trailers, so we don't yet know anything about the story, but they were very funny.

Did you watch any of the international football matches yesterday? England beat Croatia to come top of their group in the Nations League, a European tournament. It was a very good result, because England lost to Croatia in the World Cup semifinal, just four months ago. England will go through to the finals next summer.

Have you seen Bohemian Rhapsody? Check it out if you get the chance, as well as the second Sicario movie.

Today we watched two trailers for Toy Story 4. The movie hasn't been made yet, so they didn't show us scenes from the movie, just some jokey scenes involving the characters. I enjoyed the part in the second trailer where two other characters were trying to say "Infinity and Beyond" but they got it wrong. They were saying things like "Insinity (?) and a bond". Buzz arrived and told them the correct way to say it, but they laughed at him. That trailer also featured a "Don't care bear". Anyway, let's look forward to Toy Story 4 next summer.

The Best of Enemies, and other matters…

Today we watched the trailer for The Best of Enemies, a movie based on a true story set in North Carolina in 1971. There was a move to desegregate the schools (i.e. put black and white children together) and many whites, led by the Ku Klux Klan, opposed the change and attacked black classrooms. Taraji P. Henson, a black activist, and C. P. Ellis, the local Klan leader, had to work together to make the situation better.
Sam Rockwell and Taraji P. Henson star in the movie.
