Talkie Tuesday: The Brave

"When there's no way out - they go in."

Hello everyone!

This week, I'm shaking it up a little with my blog post, as I've not really watched a good movie in a bit (which I have to remedy, I have a list as long as my arm but have yet to get to it!) and so I'm falling back on a tested-and-tried trope! 

When in doubt about movies, talk about TV shows.

Luckily for me, I'm never out of material in that corner. I watch way too many shows as is. I'm pretty sure it's my way of letting out all the tension and anxiety accumulated through day-to-day activities. Losing myself for an hour or so in someone else's problems (whether this means Arrow all over the place or S.W.A.T. kicking down doors, it's all the same) is just what the doctor ordered.

And also luckily for me, this show season (that is the 2017-18) gave me not one, not even two, but THREE military-related shows to go through.

So bring your night vision goggles and kevlar vests - first one up is The Brave.

Talkie Tuesday: Hairspray Live

"Good morning, Baltimore!"

Hello everyone!

So every once in a while I run into something that makes me think: I need to see this.

Desperately. 

When news broke that Derek Hough had been cast as Corny Collins in the new rendition of Hairspray which would air during the holiday season, I did a little happy jig.

I will admit here and now that I'm a Hough fan, whether it's Julianne or Derek, and especially of Derek because I honestly think the man is an artistic genius. The choreography he can put together is spectacular, either in it's complexity or simplicity, and I've loved watching him on Dancing with the Stars.

Ergo, I was sold on watching Hairspray Live! before they even released news about who would play Tracy or Link or anyone else.

Honestly, you'd think that I would have at least waited until the trailer, but nope, my excitement levels were high even before that.
