Talkie Tuesday: The Spy Who Dumped Me

"Happy birthday, Audrey."

Hello everyone!

Question: what do you watch when you're bored out of your head, you don't feel like really thinking hard through whatever it is you'll be watching, and you REALLY don't feel like pulling a brain muscle trying to figure it out?  

Well, if you're currently waiting for the Outlander season four finale, then you'll probably pick up something that has Sam Heughan in it.

And since it's kind of the wrong time for A Princess for Christmas (one of the more adorable things I'd watched with Sam in it), you go for something a little more up-to-date.

And then you see photos of Sam in a tux holding a gun up in a very Bond-like position.

Why hello there, handsome!

The Spy Who Dumped Me is sort of a mix-and-mash of a lot of other spy movies, incorporating all the more insane ideas (not to mention the absurd ones) and making it all seem like a lark in comparison to, say, Bond or Bourne.

Talkie Tuesday: Jupiter Ascending

"I am NOT your mother."

Hello everyone!

I'm once again back with a movie review from my time spent at the seaside, so it's absolutely been a couple of months since I've seen this, but luckily, I have my trusty little notebook with its productive sheep on the front cover to keep me appraised of everything I thought about then! 

Or well, if not that, then at least I've noted down what, exactly, was going on haha.

To be perfectly honest, when I first saw something for this movie, I wasn't sure I'd see it, because I just didn't think I'd have the time. But the ginormous character posters in our cinema made me at least WANT to do it, so when summer holidays rolled around I figured, why not? I was going for a lot of fantasy and biographic dramas at that time so I thought I needed something else to spice things up for myself, and some science fiction thrown in the mix sounded like just the thing.

If I told you that the movie is about intergalactic travel, planets, and royalty, what would your answer be?

Hopefully not Star Wars.

I'm talking about Jupiter Ascending.
