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: 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!
