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: The Fate of the Furious

"Dominic Toretto has gone rogue."

Hello everyone!

Did I foreshadow my own Tuesday blog post back on Saturday? And did I, maybe, almost definitely, foreshadow it on Friday night when I posted on Instagram? 

Why yes, yes I did.

See, here's the thing: I love the Fast and Furious franchise. 

Sure, a lot of people complain that it's gone on FOREVER and it should end already. But then, a lot of people say the same thing about Supernatural, and look where that's got them. In plain facts: there are movies which will always make money, and this series with Vin Diesel at the helm is one of those.

Besides, it's already been announced that this current trilogy, eight, nine and ten, will be the last, bringing the whole number to ten movies which, collectively, have brought more money into the treasuries than a couple of other franchises combined.

So when one of my best friends suggested we go see The Fate of the Furious on Friday, just a day after the premiere, I was on board that train faster than you could say 'Ride or die'!

Talkie Tuesday: The Expendables 3

Hello everyone!

I'm literally just out of the living room after watching this week's movie. I took advantage of the fact that I basically had the house to myself, besides my grandmother that is, and put it on the big screen TV to enjoy some cinema-magic right in my own house. Normally, I watch movies on my computer or at the cinema proper, but from time to time, luck is on my side haha! 

So tonight, I watched a movie I'd had on my list for a while but never honestly got to it before; The Expendables 3. I liked the first two installments in the franchise and I was honestly quite excited to see what they'd do with this one considering it was getting an 'upgrade' so to speak, pairing the old actors with newer ones, like Kellan Lutz and Ronda Rousey. 

And, just so we're fair (total disclosure and all that) I've been on a Jason Statham streak for a while now. I can't help myself; the man is probably one of my favourite actors.

Talkie Tuesday: Furious 7

Hello everyone!

This week, it's back to the movies, and what movie has EVERYBODY talking right now? No, it's not Fifty Shades of Grey anymore, and it's not a Nicholas Sparks adaptation or a swansong to a Tolkien-inspired era.  

This week, it's ALL about bald (or nearly bald) muscled people, blue-eyed actors who can make you sob, scantily-clad women, Abu Dhabi ... and fast cars.

Yes, I'm absolutely, definitely talking about 'Furious 7'.

The seventh installment in the Fast and Furious franchise roared into cinemas worldwide on April 3rd, whereas we here in Slovenia were actually (surprisingly) able to see it a day early, on the second of that month. I didn't get to see the premiere, but my girls and I hopped along for the ride this past Saturday with probably everyone within reasonable (and maybe slightly less reasonable) driving distance from the cinema, considering every showing seemed to be sold out!

And yes, four girls can and WILL have a good time watching a movie about cars!
