Talkie Tuesday: Mary

 

"Love will cost you dearly. It will pierce your heart.

But in the end, love will save the world."

 
Hello everyone!
 
Something a little different from me to you tonight.
 
I don't usually watch or consider movies with any type of religious message, although granted I suppose Quo Vadis could definitely land on that list ... but I digress.
 
This one kind of fell into my lap completely by accident because I thought the trailer screenshot looked nice.
 
Then I watched the trailer and decided, hey, I could watch this.
 
This weekend was the time I decided I was actually going to watch, and I have to say I enjoyed it, as a casual viewer who only has the most basic knowledge of religious tenements, and who was never brought up religious. 

Without further ado, then, let's have a look at Netflix's version of Mary.

Talkie Tuesday: King Arthur

 

"It has always fallen to a few to sacrifice for the greater good."

 
Hello everyone!
 
So hot on the heels of that first returning blog post, I now return to regular programming with my movie reviews as well.
 
And BOY, do I have some goodies for this month!
 
... also for the start of September, because Netflix just told me that's what's going to happen.
 
Now.
 
A little while ago, I had this 'history' run here on the blog wherein I was watching and reviewing some of the better historic adaptations of stories that we all know and love. For some reason, however, I apparently never got around to reviewing the ONE actual historical movie that even experts agree is probably, to this date, the most accurate when it comes to the story it's telling!
 
And it's a shame because I FREAKING LOVE THIS MOVIE.
 
Without further ado, here it is then: better get that sword from the stone to fight, because King Arthur will absolutely need you.
