Talkie Tuesday: Frozen II

"Step into your power."

Hello everyone!

So after about half a week of back and forth over whether or not there would be a blog post, I'm FINALLY back.

Unfortunately I sometimes suffer from headaches which occur because I either a) haven't been drinking enough water; b) haven't slept enough; or c) I've spent too much time staring at a book or screen.

I think it might have been a combination of all three of these, coupled with the fact that I had friends over on Friday on top of already not sleeping well. I felt the headache beginning while still happily playing Cluedo, but it wasn't until Saturday that it blew into epic proportions. Not quite a migraine, but definitely painful enough!

Here I am, finally, with the promised movie review which should have gone up a whole lot earlier!

And yet, better late than never, right?

For this week's blog post, we're going right back into the cold, so hopefully you've bundled up again.

Show yourself, Frozen II.

Talkie Tuesday: Frozen

"Let it go."

Hello everyone!

I'm throwing it back with today's blog post.

Way back.

Well, okay, not WAY, WAY back, but I'm certainly going a couple of years into the past with my movie choice for tonight. I have an explanation, however!

I dearly want to review Frozen II on this blog, but it turns out - because I started blogging AFTER this franchise started - that I don't really have Frozen itself on here yet.

Well, this won't do, said my brain.

So here I am tonight, taking us back to when Disney went and practically remade itself in the 2010s by launching arguably one of its best movies of all time, both in terms of monetary revenues and general storyline, which diverged from the usual thing Disney's known for.

Since then, there have been a bunch of others following a similar vein, but it more or less all began with Frozen, and its subsequent success.

Grab your long johns and a thermos, people. The cold is about to bother us, Frozen-style.

Talkie Tuesday: Murder on the Orient Express

"I do not approve of murder."

Hello everyone!

First off, greetings from a VERY cold place. I swear, all that cold that seemed to have given the Koreans so much trouble during the Winter Olympics relocated up to Europe now. I can't remember the last time it's been this cold! 

Luckily, however, temperatures SHOULD rise by next week, though I doubt they'll go as high as mine did while I was watching the movie featured in tonight's blog post.

Many of you will know (or you're about to learn) that I am a devoted Agatha Christie fan. I have her entire book collection in the electronic version AND all of her Hercule Poirot-centered books in physical copies as well. Which does remind me that my padre needs to give me the books of hers he's hoarding so we can make one shelf of it.

Anyway.

As a fan, then, there's no way you can miss out on her most famous case involving Belgian detecive Monsieur Poirot. But while Murder on the Orient Express has the flare, it doesn't quite have the bang it might have wanted.

Talkie Tuesday: The Wedding Ringer

Hello everyone!

This past weekend I got a call from my best friend and she basically suggested a trip to the movies, and then we narrowed our selections down to two: The Imitation Game, and The Wedding Ringer. Turns out, neither one of us was really feeling the dramatic aspect of the first one, even though I still have serious plans to see it at some point, but we were definitely in for some good old-fashioned comedic relief.

Now, I don't usually go for comedy, myself; in fact, there are only a handful of funny movies I can honestly stomach and een they tend to have a whole lot of other genres barging along with them. BUT, that being said, I was all 'Why not?' when the suggestion fell, and so we packed ourselves into a car, drove one town over, and sat down for at least an hour and a half of pure, American movie comedy.
