Talkie Tuesday: Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again

"That's the best kind of party, little girl."

Hello everyone!

So finally. 

After apeasing my inner OCD last week with the review of Mamma Mia! from 2008, I can now move on to the sequel. Or prequel, or whichever word you prefer for the movie in all honesty.

Basically, I got all the cogs out of the way and now we're getting to the good stuff!

Of course, as stated at the very top of my blog, you need to be prepared when reading these reviews, as there will be spoilers, and lots of them while we're at it. I figured I should probably smack this into a post again sooner rather than later.

Onwards!

I was wary going into the second movie, thinking I would definitely NOT like it as much as I enjoyed the first. Sequels have a really nasty habit of letting people down.

But this particular one, probably because, hello, it's all those songs we know and love yet again, just didn't have it in it to disappoint. Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is the movie to see as the summer ends!

Talkie Tuesday: Mamma Mia!

"I won't be muscled out by an ejaculation!"

Hello everyone!

So as you might have been able to tell from my several consecutive posts in previous weeks, my friends and I went to see Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again last Thursday! 

And URGH some movies, man.

Some movies just deserve to be viewed over and over and OVER again.

This is one of them.

But then of course, I'm slightly OCD on this end and I can't just review the second movie without going into the bones of the first one.

Because every great story has a beginning, especially if it's a great sequel we're talking about.

This particular beginning happened ten years ago, under the very appropriate title of Mamma Mia!

Highly recommended!

Talkie Tuesday: The Last Legion

"Hail, Caesar!"

Hello everyone!

To be perfectly honest, I seem to be bouncing back and forth between genres when watching movies and/or TV shows, because I wanted to actually do a different review today, one about Star Trek, because, hello, I watched Beyond this weekend and YES is all I can say! 

But sadly, I also finished reading a Roman-esque book today and I'm still pretty much under the sway of that particular influence, ergo I went back to find this Roman-inspired movie I had watched waaaay back. I think it was last summer, but in any event, who cares about the when, if I get to them at some point, right?

Anyway.

After finishing Simon Scarrow's Eagle book (number three, to be exact), I fell into the whole Roman craze and dug through my sheep notebook until I found the movie called The Last Legion.

Which, to be honest, I originally watched only because of a book I'd read of the same title, but in the end realised it wasn't even CLOSE, content-wise.

Well, it did have Colin Firth, if nothing else.

Talkie Tuesday: Kingsman - The Secret Service

Hello everyone!

I'm finally back with the good old regular blog system, and since it's Tuesday it's time for me to talk about a movie, but first I figure I should probably tell you how I ended up watching it.

As several times before, my friends and I got together for a movie night, but originally, our choices didn't include the final thing. We were actually going to watch Expendables, but my friend's boyfriend changed the options right before that happened. So then he suggested Lucy, and we all nodded, and he said Kingsman, and my first comment (because my mouth sometimes runs away from my head) was 'OMG YES THAT MOVIE IS AMAZING!' which sealed the deal, or that's how I saw it.

Not one hundred percent sure all my friends are happy with me about that particular decision at the moment, haha, but I mean, what's done is done, right? In any event, Kingsman was the movie we ended up watching together, and honestly? In my opinion, it delivered.
