Talkie Tuesday: The Imitation Game

"We're going to break an unbreakable Nazi code and win the war."

Hello everyone!

So last week, I talked about The Theory of Everything, because I seemed to have known, instinctively, that the particular biopic wouldn't hold a candle to the one I'm talking about in this blog post. 

Don't get me wrong.

I admire Eddie Redmayne for what he did with the role he was given and the Oscar was absolutely deserving. But I've been a Benedict Cumberbatch fan for quite some time now I think; I definitely consider myself part of the CumberCollective!

And so when the first teaser image of The Imitation Game was released, I practically jumped around pumping the air with my fists in glee. Because, not only was it Cumberbatch, BUT it was about a topic I'm hugely interested in despite the political debates it can spawn. AND on top of it all, it's about the Enigma!

Talkie Tuesday: The Theory of Everything

Hello everyone!

Back to my movies from the seaside section (this could probably be its own subtitle, I think ...), since I'm done with immediate movies at least for this week. I still have plans to watch Insurgent at some point (hopefully next week? Maybe?), but I'm defintiely distracted all around with the shows that are now in full swing and giving anything out of a movie cinema a run for their money. 

The Theory of Everything wasn't a movie I would have originally wanted to watch, because unlike some people, Eddie Redmayne isn't exactly one of my favourite actors. Well, at least not yet, maybe he'll get there, you know?

But because I was going to watch The Imitation Game eventually, and because the Oscar race this year had been pretty much between Redmayne and Cumberbatch, I thought, why not? It could be educational and fun. Stephen Hawking is a living legend, after all.

So, here we go.

Talkie Tuesday: The Wedding Ringer

Hello everyone!

This past weekend I got a call from my best friend and she basically suggested a trip to the movies, and then we narrowed our selections down to two: The Imitation Game, and The Wedding Ringer. Turns out, neither one of us was really feeling the dramatic aspect of the first one, even though I still have serious plans to see it at some point, but we were definitely in for some good old-fashioned comedic relief.

Now, I don't usually go for comedy, myself; in fact, there are only a handful of funny movies I can honestly stomach and een they tend to have a whole lot of other genres barging along with them. BUT, that being said, I was all 'Why not?' when the suggestion fell, and so we packed ourselves into a car, drove one town over, and sat down for at least an hour and a half of pure, American movie comedy.
