Brittany Runs a Marathon (2019)

Rotten Tomatoes

Brittany Runs a Marathon (2019): 28-yr-old, not very likable woman with low self-esteem decides to train for a marathon to get in shape. Totally predictable plot, starting with the title. Only very occasional laughs. Still it could be inspirational for the right audience. C+

POTD: The Park with Three Names

From 2019 08 17 Lima, Peru

Today's photo-of-the-day is from the Miraflores district of Lima, Peru. It shows Parque Central de Miraflores, now known as Parque Kennedy, dedicated to the US President back when US Presidents were still respected. And everyone knows it as the cat park. The church in the park adopted cats to deal with a rat problem in the 1980s. The rats are gone, but the cats remain. Whatever you call it, it's the place to dine, dance, shop, or do whatever it is this group of young people is doing.

POTD: CityBike Lima

From 2019 08 17 Lima, Peru

Today's photo-of-the-day is from the Miraflores district of Lima, Peru. It shows an option for cheap, convenient transit: CityBike Lima. Nothing special here. And that's how it should be everywhere.

Dolemite is My Name (2019)

Rotten Tomatoes

Dolemite is My Name (2019): Eddie Murphy as Rudy Ray Moore, a struggling comic who succeeds making raunchy records for the black community. Then he makes a blaxpoitation movie that's so bad it's good. Unfortunately, this biopic is only bad. Dolemite is no Tommy Wiseau. C-

POTD: Selfie with Police

From 2019 08 17 Lima, Peru

Today's photo-of-the-day is from the Plaza de Armas de Lima in Peru. The unidentified woman is obviously taking a selfie with the Cathedral of Lima in her background. What the police in riot gear are expecting to happen was never discovered. On another side of the plaza is the presidential palace. Maybe a political protest there?

After the jump, another tourist getting a photo with the police in front of that presidential palace.
