Talkie Tuesday: Ibiza

 

"We are going to party all night!" 

Hello everyone!

In a slight departure for me I have a different movie review for you tonight, and I say departure because normally I don't touch movies like these.

I mean, I can see the appeal of them for large market audiences, but the style has just never suited me and probably never will, if I'm being honest.

However, a good friend of mine recommended I watch it, specifically for Richard Madden, so I was like, you know what, okay, what have I got to lose, really?

Nothing much, because at the end of the experiment this is the kind of movie where you turn your brains off and end up hopefully laughing some while you're at it! Which in essence makes it a little bit similar to what Hallmark puts out, actually.

Now THERE'S a thought!

So without further ado, let's just hop right into Ibiza, shall we?

Talkie Tuesday: A Taste of Summer

"In the end, you only regret the chances you didn't take."

Hello everyone!

As I've mentioned last week, there's probably going to be an abundance of Hallmark movie reviews on this blog for a little while. 

Summer Nights is WELL on the way to being finished and then we're moving into the first week of September already; you can see it happening outside, the light is slanting down at a very different angle, the weather is slightly chillier and a lot wetter already, so basically summer is drawing to a close here in the Northern hemisphere.

We may get some Indian summer later, but who knows with the weather as it is? Some people are saying we're getting snow in October!

Before any of that happens, though, we should enjoy more summer movies if we can, because there will be too many autumn ones to count eventually.

That's why I watch so many from Hallmark, because they know what it's all about.

There wasn't anything different with A Taste of Summer, either.

Talkie Tuesday: Mamma Mia!

"I won't be muscled out by an ejaculation!"

Hello everyone!

So as you might have been able to tell from my several consecutive posts in previous weeks, my friends and I went to see Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again last Thursday! 

And URGH some movies, man.

Some movies just deserve to be viewed over and over and OVER again.

This is one of them.

But then of course, I'm slightly OCD on this end and I can't just review the second movie without going into the bones of the first one.

Because every great story has a beginning, especially if it's a great sequel we're talking about.

This particular beginning happened ten years ago, under the very appropriate title of Mamma Mia!

Saturday Snippet: Mamma Mia!

Highly recommended!

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.

Talkie Tuesday: Walking on Sunshine

"Wake me up, before you go, go ..."

Hello everyone!

So this blog post is going to be about a blast from the past, so to speak, considering that I should have blogged about this movie ... oh, ages and a number of blog posts ago. To be perfectly honest, I think I actually watched it sometime BEFORE summer started officially (and unofficially) so really, why did it take me so long?? 

Well, for starters, I got into watching the Tudors at the time (I totally blame you, Maegan, yes, you), and then I was also watching other TV shows trying to catch up (ugh, I still need to see Teen Wolf season 5 to the end ... maybe this week when the other shows haven't started yet), and so this movie review just sort of sat there, in the back of my mind, knowing it needed to be done.

Then I went and forgot about it after returning from vacation with all the goodies, but hey, I FINALLY got to the point where I'm like, you know what? Let's do this.

I'm talking about the Mamma Mia!-inspired Walking on Sunshine.
