Talkie Tuesday: The Nutcracker and the Four Realms

 

"Everything you need is inside." 

Hello everyone!

I hope you've had a fantastic Christmas, one where, even if not everything went according to plan, there was at least one relative that got cranky and something broke, you STILL enjoyed yourselves and spent it in the company of your nearest and dearest.

The older we get, the more I think we come to realize it isn't presents, but the people that make the holidays bright.

... which is probably why in this house, we still have presents under the tree and will be waiting to open some of them with my sister once she's well enough to come home after a bout with the plague.

Life, eh?

BUT that aside, it's time for another Christmas movie, the last in this series as we move on to something else next week, so of course I had to go with a classic, even if in a re-telling.

Because Disney released their own version: The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.

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: London Has Fallen

"Bullet-proof, not politician-proof!"

Hello everyone!

I'm finally fully back from vacation, this including not having a vacation mind anymore or being almost literally tied up with washing, drying, folding and cleaning in general. 

You know how things go when you've been away from home for a while.

So now that I'm back in business, it's time to pick up the slack after three weeks of virtually no posts from me and not even Tweets, with a movie recap and review! And of course, I wouldn't be me if I hadn't picked something that entertained me even before I went on my actual vacation, because honestly, there's nothing better than a good action movie.

Even if action is pretty much all you get in it.

But there you have it, I was a big fan, and still am, of Olympus Has Fallen, and so when a sequel was announced and the first trailer came out, I was stoked. When I finally got my hands on a copy, I truly was enthusiastic to see just what the screenwriters and creative minds behind it had cooked up.

I guess, though, that it's kind of difficult to follow the first film high if you're not James Bond.
