Talkie Tuesday: LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation

 

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away ..."

 

Hello everyone!

 

So.

 

Let's just come out and say it, shall we?

 

I slept on this one. Like, there hasn't really been anything I've slept on quite as much as this particular movie.

 

In my defense I was GOING to work it into my review schedule. Honest! Then I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I never did, and here we are.

 

Back in August, Disney+ released what was basically a movie to teach us how to let go, couched as a vacation movie, and dressed in the swimmies and flip-flops, too.

 

And to top it off, it was happening in a galaxy we all know and love, at that.

 

How do you miss that opportunity? No clue.

 

So let's have our last look at summer, shall we? LEGO Star Wars: Summer Vacation, is here to take us all away from the cold and the upcoming snow.

This is basically what's happening now ... especially with cherry trees.

Man they're pretty when they bloom, but the falling leaves are 😂😅

Talkie Tuesday: Sailing into Love

"Dreams change. So do plans."

Hello everyone!

I am back with a Hallmark movie binge.

Every once in a while, I think to myself that I should have one of these. Sadly, Hallmark doesn't always produce the perfect films, but then again they aren't the only ones at fault for that.

Mostly, however, you can count on at least being able to turn your mind off for an hour and a half to two hours and just think about what's happening on your screen rather than what's going on inside your head. And admittedly, it's almost always funny.

With the closing of the season for When Calls the Heart, I saw a comment somewhere about Chris McNally, the actor portraying one of the new men in town, and that he was quite the sweetheart in his other roles.

Of course, I had to investigate. 

I was pleasantly surprised.

I've so far seen him in two movies (and plan on seeing more) and apparently in Lucifer though I don't remember that! But without further ado, ahoy, mateys! Sailing into Love is sailing onto the blog.

Talkie Tuesday: A Summer to Remember

"A new lease on life."

Hello everyone!

Well, that's it. Summer as officially said goodbye, because on the TV this morning, we could already see that some higher-lying cities in Austria have been graced with snow. 

Some cameras were completely snowed-in!

As far as that goes, I'm quite happy to live in a place where we can have a bit more of autumn before we transition to winter again, but that being said, I thought I'd celebrate with a really summer-y movie review just because.

It's one of those things I plucked off a list of Hallmark movies and ended up enjoying, despite the fact that I don't really see myself watching it again this season. Maybe next year, but by then I'm sure there'll be a long list of other summer movies to watch!

The movie I'm talking about is aptly named A Summer to Remember and stars Catherine Bell and Cameron Mathison.

Talkie Tuesday: Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again

"That's the best kind of party, little girl."

Hello everyone!

So finally. 

After apeasing my inner OCD last week with the review of Mamma Mia! from 2008, I can now move on to the sequel. Or prequel, or whichever word you prefer for the movie in all honesty.

Basically, I got all the cogs out of the way and now we're getting to the good stuff!

Of course, as stated at the very top of my blog, you need to be prepared when reading these reviews, as there will be spoilers, and lots of them while we're at it. I figured I should probably smack this into a post again sooner rather than later.

Onwards!

I was wary going into the second movie, thinking I would definitely NOT like it as much as I enjoyed the first. Sequels have a really nasty habit of letting people down.

But this particular one, probably because, hello, it's all those songs we know and love yet again, just didn't have it in it to disappoint. Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is the movie to see as the summer ends!

Talkie Tuesday: Sweet Home Carolina

"Sometimes you have to go back to go forward."

Hello everyone!

I am now going into my established period of Hallmark Channel movies, wherein I will sit down and watch nothing but those productions for a few nights in a row.

Why, you ask?

I have no idea.

Sometimes it just so happens that I feel like going through the corny romance, and occasionally I'll even find movies that I actually honestly like, movies I will return to and rewatch time and time again, or at least on occasion more than the one-timers.

And then of course, sometimes I will find movies that sound really great on paper but end up being not so great in the execution.

Sadly, this is what happened with the subject of tonight's blog.

Sweet Home Carolina just wasn't all that.

Talkie Tuesday: Baywatch

"And not a single fuck was given."

Hello everyone!

So the weather here is really not that summery at all, considering all we see are clouds and the occasional sunny day, but that hasn't ever deterred me from watching sun-filled movies while I was at it. 

Which reminds me that I could probably rewatch Walking on Sunshine ... or maybe not. I have a backlog of movies as long as my arm.

In any event, for tonight's blog extravaganza I decided to go with something that I had always WANTED to watch, but never got around to doing while it was playing in cinemas, which is an absolute shame since I bet it would have looked even better on the big screen.

I mean, between the Rock's awesome muscles and Zac Efron's blue eyes, you know you have a winning combination.

I'm talking, of course, about Baywatch.

Saturday Snippet: Wedding!

One of my best friends is getting married today.

I wish her and her beau all the happiness in the world!

Tome Thursday: The Lord of the Rings, pt. 2

I finished this yesterday and bawled my eyes out.

Again.

Yes, I'm one of those.

Tome Thursday: The Lord of the Rings

I'm honestly just detoxing and doing a lot of: sleeping, eating, reading, sleeping, not necessarily in that order, so I don't have a book review to go up today. I probably won't until I get back home.

But I'm doing my annual Lord of the Rings summer read instead, so here you go <3
