Talkie Tuesday: Magic Mike's Last Dance

 

"Dance seeks no meaning for its desires." 

Hello everyone!

So in case it isn't obvious yet, or has not yet become obvious, I'm a bit of a softie.

Aka, you can probably get me to do just about anything you might want IF you're close enough to me and we're good enough friends for you to try it on for size.

This past end of the week, one of my best friends messaged me about going to the cinema.

Now, ordinarily, I'm all for it, and it's never an issue. However, I've been in this situation before and ended up going to see the first 50 Shades of Grey movie.

I kind of figured it had to be something along those same lines, and I was partly right.

Seeing as I do consider myself a good friend, however, and because I really did need to get out of the house (my sister was home to babysit the parents, as I like to call it, though really all they did was watch a movie themselves), I agreed to go. And it wasn't bad!

I do have thoughts, but it wasn't too bad. I was taken to see Magic Mike's Last Dance; and if you know me, then you know that I don't usually watch movies like this.

Talkie Tuesday: Step Up - All In

Hello everyone!

It's Talkie Tuesday so it's time for another movie review, and for this week I picked another dance movie (I know, I've already done 'Make Your Move', which you can find here, but I can't help myself, I love dancing stuff!): the fifth installment in the Step Up series, subtitled 'All In'.

Now, when I first saw the beginnings of the franchise, back when Channing Tatum was the biggest hit in dancing anyone had ever seen at the time, I thought to myself that this was probably a franchise that could make a couple more movies and then tie it all off gracefully. The second one, 'The Streets', came off already-weaker than it's predecessor, but I got my hopes up with number 3, although they were dashed, except at a few moments, with 'Revolution' again. So I guess I was kind of hoping for a whole lot from five, given the history of uneven numbers and the like.
