2021 Reading and 2022 Movie Challenges

It's the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2021, and I've read 38 books which, if I keep up the pace, annualizes to 47 for the year.

I use Goodreads as a book journal.

I think I started watching The Dig, but don't think I finished it.

1.) The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard with with Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson. I can honestly say that I enjoyed this silly little movie even though that the plot defies analysis. Oh, I understand it's general story arc: somebody is trying to kill Darius Kincaid (Jackson) who has hired Michael Bryce (Reynolds) to protect him and his wife (Gabriella Wright). This involves a lot of explosions, gun battles, and chases but I have no idea what plot point caused each encounter. However, Ryan Reynolds is indeed attractive and fun to watch, and the job the movie's make up crew has done on his injured face is phenomenal. Watching it heal over the course of the movie was fascinating.

I love Ryan Reynolds, so of course have this movie, though it's been sitting on my coffee table waiting to be viewed.

And I thought Salma Hayek played Kincaid's wife.
