Viewing Notes

Movie number five is a Russian fantasy set on New Years Eve. Also known as 13 PM according to IMDb.

We lost power close to the end of this, so I finished watching on my laptop. Then I watched the first third of MIDNIGHT RUNNERS before my backup UPS that keeps the internet powered died. Tried watching from my phone via cellular and was once again reminded how much cellular service continues to suck in this state, regardless of where you live. Pretty pathetic. Power was restored around 6:45ish.
