Talkie Tuesday: The Meg

"Meg versus Man isn't a fight ... it's a slaughter."

Hello everyone!

I hope you appreciate this blog post because, lemme say this loud and clear, I will NOT be doing this again.

No, seriously. 

Although, 'never say never' is probably one of those sayings you should learn to live by, and I remember when I was a kid I tended to even follow it, but it seems I managed to forget since becoming an adult.

Of course I said never to this movie. Any SANE person would say never to this movie! I still have nightmares about the bloody In the Heart of the Sea.

And then what happened was I had to eat my big, fat never, because once the movie actually rolled around, I couldn't get up and walk away even if I tried.

I'm talking about the one and only, of course.

The Meg.

Talkie Tuesday: Deepwater Horizon

"I'll call you back, I'll call you back ..."

Hello everyone!

So.

It's back to my little notebook with reviews, since I haven't had the chance to actually watch something a little more current (I blame our country's Dancing with the Stars for eating up so much of my free time!). But hey, it's all good! I still have things to chew through. 

And of course one of the first I pick up is the one that made me curse, shiver, tear up, and outright bawl at my computer screen at the time when I put it on.

See every once in a while, I'll torture myself with some sort of 'based on a true story' movie.

You know, like I did with In the Heart of the Sea or Everest.

Usually, I have nightmares after, which I think may be the point.

Tonight's movie is definitely one of those. It's called Deepwater Horizon, after all.

Talkie Tuesday: In the Heart of the Sea

"The tragedy of the Essex is the story of men.
And a Demon."

Hello everyone!

So this is going to be an upbeat blog post regardless of the rather negative downsides of the story that unfolded in the movie (and the books, of course; let's not forget the books). But the fact remains that I absolutely LOVED it, and couldn't get enough of the movie which I have to get a better copy of, potentially Blu-Ray if I can.

Although ... come to think of it, maybe I don't necessarily need that kind of high-res image of the whale in my brain. 

Hmm.

ANYWAY.

This is yet again one of the movies from my vacation hoard, although this one I watched while I was all by my lonesome at the seaside and enjoying some peaceful time away from everything. It was a very cool thing to be able to snuggle down on the veranda and enjoy the sea breeze while watching this. Gave the story some credibility.

I'm talking about In the Heart of the Sea, of course.
