Tome Thursday: Magicom

 

Hello everyone!
 

Welcome to this week's bookish blog post.

 

And apologies for missing last week's. Unfortunately, RL conspired against me so I had to be responsible for a bit and skip some of the things I otherwise love dearly.

 

Don't you just hate when that happens?

 

Either way, I'm back tonight, and unless there's more unforeseen problems on the horizon, I'm hopeful I won't have to be skipping anything else any time soon!

 

Onwards.

 

Tonight's choice of book is another ARC I was very kindly sent by a lovely Goodreads author, which I totally wasn't expecting, by the way. I generally don't jump around waving ARCS AHOY THIS WAY! haha.

 

But I picked it up, and was very easily and quickly hooked. It's just that kind of a great book, you see. So why don't we take a brief look what I'm talking about with Magicom?

 

Talkie Tuesday: Robin Hood Prince of Thieves

 

"No man decides my fate."

 

Hello everyone!

 

If you look at the title for tonight's blog post, you'll see I finally, FINALLY managed to get around to actually getting to the proper Robin Hood.

 

I've covered quite a few on this blog before but I just haven't had the time to come to this one, which is honestly a shame and I know it. I admit it.

 

Dishonour on my cow.

 

Then this past weekend, surprise surprise, one of the Cinemax TV channels rolled this movie again because, one, it's basically one of the best things to happen, and two, why not??

 

My parents hadn't seen it in a while so they watched it together, and I sort of went in and out of it.

 

But it did remind me that I should do the talking with my fingers.

 

So here it is! Kevin Hood, ahem, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, here we go!

Talkie Tuesday: Robin Hood

"Who's really the thief?"

Hello everyone!

FINALLY. 

I know what you're thinking - this took forever. I KNOW.

I'm sorry!

I don't know what happened that I watched the movie and then didn't immediately review it. I think I was saving it for the week after but then got absolutely distracted by other blockbusters (read: Grindelwald) and somehow this ended up lower on the totem pole.

That's kind of sad, but then again, when you're watching a movie like this, I suppose you don't always need to be happy about it.

What movie am I blabbering about, may you ask?

You may. I will be more than delighted to tell you.

It's called Robin Hood. But if you're expecting Kevin Costner charm, think again.

Talkie Tuesday: Draft Day

Hello everyone!

So a (long) while back, I saw the trailer for Draft Day, completely by accident, and decided I really needed to see this movie. One, it has Kevin Costner in it, two, there are some other familiar faces running around, three, it's football, and four - Kevin Costner. Enough said?

I've been a fan of Mr. Costner's for a while now, I can't even remember for how long, and although I know he obviously filmed before I saw any of his movies, it's a tie between whether I've seen the Bodyguard or The Prince of Thieves first. I'm fairly sure The Postman came afterwards at some point when there was nothing else to watch on TV and I saw the actor's face and decided I would just sit through it even though it didn't look promising (at the start). So, seeing him in the trailer for this kind of movie, it was a no-brainer that I would want to see it even if it did take me a long, long time to actually sit down and do it.
