Talkie Tuesday: Geostorm

"Someone has weaponized Dutch Boy."

Hello everyone!

My movie section is once again looking up as I'm finally moving into slightly newer movies as opposed to flicks that are two or three years old (or more at that!). 

It also doesn't help that I keep getting distracted, like with Without a Trace or Unforgettable.

I know, I have issues.

But every once in a while I will also stumble upon newer, recent movies that I really feel like watching, and of course you'll be able to find a disaster one among them. Because let's face it, ain't nothing better for the crowd than going to see the world travelling to hell in a hand basket.

This was also very true about the movie chosen for tonight's blog.

I'm talking about Gerard Butler's survival flick, Geostorm.

Talkie Tuesday: Fantastic Four

"It's pretty fantastic."

Hello everyone!

It's movie time once again, and tonight I'm going to talk about a movie that I didn't love nor did I hate, but I was entertained enough by it that I watched it through to the end and didn't want to fall asleep. 

The movie I'm talking about is Fantastic Four, although not the older versions with Ioan Gruffud and Jessica Alba (which, I will admit, I watched and actually really enjoyed back in the day), but the new, remade thing with Miles Teller and Kate Mara in the titular characters of Reed and Sue, although we do see a number of other actors make their way across the screen.

I will admit that I wanted to see what they'd done with the remake, because if I remember right the first two movies were okay-ish, but didn't bring much to the table for a third, so this is supposed to be a revival of sorts, right?

I do think there's talk of a sequel, and it did a good enough job to merit it, I suppose.

Talkie Tuesday: San Andreas

"Now we rebuild."

Hello everyone!

Back with a movie review, and I just realized I absolutely have to get back on track with watching movies, as I seem to be running low on them. Not like there's never enough, obviously, but it looks as though, like I said way back when, I've had enough to last me until Christmas ... now it's time to start hoarding them again! 

The movie I'm talking about tonight is certainly one that I'm probably going to buy on DVD once I get around to going to the shop itself, because really, it's one of those that are sort of believable, which makes them scary, but then they go and be unbelievable, which makes them hilarious.

It's also one of those love them or hate them movies, and no in between, which is sad because if you judge it only by IMDB ratings, you might miss out on one you would actually enjoy otherwise.

Take it from me. I would have bypassed some movies completely if I'd only been looking at the IMDB ratings (like Age of Ultron, for one), and yet the movies were actually enjoyable as far as I was concerned and I liked them.

San Andreas is one of those.
