I can't believe it's July already... I feel like once July 4th is behind us, we're already more than halfway done with Summer 😦 Well, I actually didn't really do much movie/tv watching around the Fourth weekend as I prefer to make the most of Minnesota Summer outside.

Written & Directed by: Jim Jarmusch In The Dead Don't Die, the quiet small town of Centerville is thrown into chaos as the dead begin rising from their graves and feasting on the citizens' flesh. The few police in town (Bill Murray's Chief Cliff Robertson, Adam Driver's Officer Ronnie Peterson, and Chloe Sevigny's Officer Mindy …
I watched Dame Emma Thompson on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert where she described this movie as a science-fiction given that her character is a late-night talk show host. Ba da bing!
