Talkie Tuesday: The Land Before Time

 

"Some things you see with your eyes, others you see with your heart."

 

Hello everyone!

 

I hope you're ready with your Kleenex and your chocolate, because tonight's post is going to be a doozy.

 

That's right, I'm on an old cartoon animation kick.

 

And what better way to keep going ... than by going for what, it has been said before, is probably ranked among the top ten saddest movies of all time?

 

Yes, I watched it voluntarily. 

 

Yes, I recognize this is probably insane.

 

But anyway!

 

Without further ado, let's check back in with the land of ... dinosaurs. You guessed it. It's back, way back we go, and we'll hopefully not lose all hope along the way.

 

That's what sometimes happens if you're watching The Land Before Time.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Jurassic World Dominion

 

"If we're going to survive, we'll have to trust each other."

 

Hello everyone!

 

A year after this was released in cinemas, I finally got around to watching the last entry in the Jurassic saga.

 

Then again, I haven't watched Episode IX yet either, and I think that one's been some time ago.

 

What can I say? Apparently, I sometimes need a LOT of time haha!

 

But I do actually love the dinosaur movies. I was a big fan back when I first accidentally stumbled over Jurassic Park on television at some point in time, and I've continued being a fan since.

 

Oddly enough, I also think that my parents really like the sequel trilogy as well, which can't be said about the originals because I'm reasonably sure my father was never the biggest dinosaur fan, but for some reason is okay with these three.

 

To each their own, right?

 

Without further ado, let's just jump straight in, because we've got some ground to cover. Jurassic World: Dominion has the last word to say, too.

Talkie Tuesday: Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom

"What could POSSIBLY go wrong?"

Hello everyone!

Back for another week and another movie review, and as you can see from the title, it's going to be a whopper.  

Then again, any movie in which dinosaurs chase you around is bound to be.

I've had a thing for Jurassic Park since I saw the first movie, way back when. I think one of our television stations had a marathon and all three of the originals aired on the same day/night, so it was quite a treat to sit there and watch the T-Rex chomp his way across the screen.

Of course when they announced a reboot, or sequels, or whatever you'd like to call them, I was all in.

I was a little apprehensive about the nature of the sequels proper, considering you only have so many shots at a masterpiece - but I needn't have worried, because Jurassic World was honestly one of the best movies that year.

So when the time came for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (knowing they'd gotten Jeff Goldblum to do a cameo and some promo stuff), I was stoked!

Talkie Tuesday: Jurassic World

"If something chases you ... run!"

Hello everyone!

My keyboard is completely acting up so if I'm suddenly missing letters here and there I assure you it's not on purpose. I've been having to double-check everything I type, everywhere. I think I type too much ... oops? 

Anyway.

I'm back with a movie blog!

This week, I managed to pretty much dangle a carrot in front of my parent's faces and offered to have a movie night with them. Surprisingly enough, despite the varied tastes of movies in our family, Jurassic Park remains a favourite, so naturally, the sequel was something I couldn't resist. And since I did remember my dad saying something about wanting to watch it, it was a no brainer to wait until we could all get together.

Well, okay, only my mom and I ended up watching the first time since dad had hockey to play, but I'm pretty sure the big screen TV in the living room will be seeing Indominus Rex run around in Jurassic World again soon!
