Movie Moments LXXXIII: The Tempest Edition (February/March 2022)

Adaptations of Shakespeare's The Tempest are hella wide-ranging, y'all.

The Tempest (2010) | Forbidden Planet | Yellow Sky | Ex Machina

Miscellaneous Movie Moments LXXX (December 2021)

Marie Antoinette, 05 December 2021, DVD via university library
