Talkie Tuesday: Black Adam

 

"Some men are not meant to be heroes."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Welcome to the last non-Christmas related post for a while, as starting this Thursday we go into the yearly extravaganza that this blog offers.

 

I know, I know, everyone gets bored with it long before it's over, BUT.

 

I kind of like doing the themed posts for the one month that we get.

 

So I'm looking forward to it, aren't you?

 

Anyway, before we can do any of that, however, we do still have this one day of the regular posts left, so here we go.

 

This weekend was fun for me as I participated in a video game from afar (via video call) AND watched a pretty fun movie too while I was at it.

 

It had action, it had wit, and it had quite a good cast, not to mention the surprise at the end.

 

I'm talking about Black Adam, of course.

Talkie Tuesday: Avengers Endgame

"Avengers ... assemble."

Hello everyone!

Well, against all odds, I finally made it.

Not that it didn't take me freaking FOREVER.

The thing that happened this time was that I watched three or so Marvel movies in a row and then decided I needed to take a break - then the break turned out to be longer than expected because I just couldn't seem to find the time.

Three hours is a bit much and you need to actually plan to ensure you can get that in one go!

But I did it, and it's all under the belt now. FINALLY.

Of course it's late in comparison to when most people've seen this movie, but at this point it's not something I even worry about anymore.

I'm always late to something or other haha.

Avengers: Endgame was just the current in a long list of my lateness!

Talkie Tuesday: Hello, It's Me

"You never know where love might strike."

Hello everyone!

Back with a movie review and, you guessed it, it's another Hallmark channel one.

I know, I know.

I'm starting to get boring over here. I can't help it though!

Hallmark does punch out some really good movies that you and your whole family can enjoy, and recently I noticed that a couple of different channels here have been airing them.

I don't watch everything they serve me - for one, it'd be too many, and two, not every one of them is good, sadly! - but I DO watch a fair amount of them, and I recently ran into an old favourite which I'd watched, but never reviewed on here.

Well, I stand corrected!

Hello, It's Me isn't quite your typical Hallmark channel production.

Talkie Tuesda: Avengers Infinity War

"We're in the endgame now ..."

Hello everyone!

Back with a movie blog and believe it or not I'm typing this one up at 6 am.

Why?

Because summer, that's why.

Summer has FINALLY hit the country but that means that temperatures are all over the place, aka super high and then some, which also means I either have to turn the AC on if I don't want to melt, or I simply don't go on the computer except early in the morning and then after the sun dips again late afternoon.

Unless something happens that ABSOLUTELY needs my presence online, I think I'll stick with not going online at all.

That being said, it IS time for a movie review, and why not continue along in the Marvel vein?

Heard about a Gauntlet running around? Let's look at Infinity War and see how the Avengers do.

Talkie Tuesday: Captain Marvel

"Highter, further, faster, baby."

Hello everyone!

Back with a movie review after sort of cheating last week with the television show Blood & Treasure (which, by the way, airs a new episode tonight, so make sure you tune in!). And this time it's an ACTUAL movie review.

As in, I'm going back to my roots.

As in, I'm going back to Marvel.

For those of you who don't yet know, I'm an avid Marvel fan; I started watching the so-called Infinity Saga waaay back sometime in Phase one (not quite in the beginning, but I think I started with Thor or Hulk (might have been the one with Eric Bana) and worked my way up) and haven't looked back since.

I've loved most of the movies in the saga, with only rare exceptions, and I'm STOKED to see what follows after Endgame!

No, I haven't seen Endgame yet. I had three consecutive Marvel movie nights and needed a minor break. 

Tonight's blog post is all about Captain Marvel.

Talkie Tuesday: Black Panther

"The wise build bridges, but the foolish build barriers."

Hello everyone!

Well, it looks like I'm finally jumping back onto the Marvel Universe band wagon.

I know, I know. It took me long enough.

I feel like, after the disappointment I felt with the Spiderman remake, I needed to step back a little and reassess what I like and dislike when it comes to Marvel. They have many more hits than they do misses, but every once in a while they make a miss so spectacular you just can't help but goggle at them.

Anyway.

A couple nights ago I FINALLY sat back to watch the movie that's been talked about all summer long and which brought in a heck of a lot of green with dollar signs.

I have to admit, that alone made me wary.

But Black Panther stood and delivered.

Talkie Tuesday: Justice League

"This isn't the plan. This is the team."

Hello everyone!

So, fun fact: I'm only slowly getting into the DCEU. Probably because DC is a little bit on the slower side when it comes to their movie franchise as opposed to Marvel that's currently way, way into the MCU. 

That being said, however, I again state that I'm not someone who's going to play favourites and go from one camp to the other trying to infuriate people.

I really don't care about this so called "rivalry". I like Thor but I also like Superman, so if I want to watch both movies and see Chris Hemsworth and Henry Cavill rocking it on screen, well, that's about everything that should be said on the matter.

Still, it took me a little bit to get to the hero team-up DC dreamed up as their answer for the Avengers. I think I'm still jaded after trying - and failing - with Batman vs Superman.

Wonder Woman restored my faith somewhat though and I figured I might as well give Justice League a try, too.

Tome Thursday: Wonder Woman Warbringer

Hello everyone!

For my book review this week I'm going back to basics with DC.

Now, for those of you who may not know me all that well, let me tell you that I frankly don't care too much about all this DC vs Marvel debate or hashtags or whatever.

I can understand that there's some rivalry going on, because, well, two competing comic book houses? Duh. It makes sense even to me. But I'm not one of those people who say YOU CAN'T GO FOR DC IF YOU'RE A MARVEL FAN THAT'S BETRAYAL. Or vice versa.

Me, I watch/read about the heroes I like. Whether they were created by Marvel or by DC means precious little, although I'll also freely admit I kind of like the tone of MCU better than of the DCEU at the moment.

That being said, however, Wonder Woman has become one of my favourites, partly thanks to Gal Gadot's amazing performancein the movie.

Which is why this week's book is all about the Warbringer.

Talkie Tuesday: TMNT Out of the Shadows

"Why aren't we going with the Turtles? 

When something bad happens, you want to be with the Turtles!"

Hello everyone!

Right about now, the upper part of the house is in complete shambles because my parents are renovating the master bedroom. At this moment alone, about a third of it is currently sitting in MY room (including but not limited to a funny winter hat that's eyeing me while I sleep) and I thank every deity above that I have my desk in the opposite corner by the window, otherwise I would so not be able to get to it.

But enough about my habitat woes.

Tuesdays are my movie days, but truth be told I've been a little bit on the slide when it comes to movies, mostly because for some reason our TV network decided that it's going to stream a whole boat load of amazing ones from years past.

This means that, around Saturday-ish when I usually watch a movie to review in my Tuesday blog, I watch stuff like Kingdom of Heaven or Pirates of the Caribbean.

I mean, I'm not complaining! I just have a hard time deciding what, specifically, I'm going to type about, then.

Which is how I got distracted by the last Power Rangers trailer, and remembered my old, old friends: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Out of the Shadows!
