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: Wonder Woman 1984

 

"Be careful what you wish for."

 

Hello everyone!

 

In this week's movie blog post, we return to the land of superheroes, impossible magic ... and fanny packs.

 

That's right people, we're going to the 80s!

 

Now obviously, people who've actually lived through the decade probably have a different view on what this movie showed, but at the same time you have to give some credit where credit's due: they took what people PERCEIVE the 80s were and made it funny, or as funny as they could possibly make it in that moment.

 

And well, most of the time it worked!

 

Plus I mean, there's just something about 80s fashion that will either make you laugh or cry your eyes out at the absolute disaster on screen.

 

Add in Perdro Pascal in a blonde wig and you probably know what movie I'm talking about here.

 

Look to the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane!

 

Nope. It's Wonder Woman 1984.

Talkie Tuesday: Aquaman

"What could be greater than a king? A hero."

Hello everyone!

I'm actually watching more current movies now, yay me! Haha.

It's one of those things that happen when you're so busy watching everything and anything you can, and occasionally there'll be slips and I'll be caught in some cycle of older movies before regrouping and jumping back into the present.

I'd wanted to see this one from the moment it was announced, but that being said I apparently needed some time to get to it.

DC is lagging a little bit in comparison to Marvel when it comes to their movie lineup; they're trying, but they just can't seem to find their stride and don't seem to have a specific vision or even look they're going for, which shows in the finished product. But it looks like they do VERY well with origin stories, which means that they might even be on the rise.

In all actuality, probably nothing will ever overcome the success that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but DCEU is trying its hardest.

And within that lineup, Aquaman is definitely one to watch!

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.
