Talkie Tuesday: Big Miracle


"We're going to help free the whales."


Hello everyone!

In continuing with the tone I set last Thursday, I'm coming to you with something slightly different tonight, or at the very least different to what most of the movies I review are about.

Most of them are pretty funny, light-hearted, fluffy sort of peaces that occasionally put in some action sequences or have something funny for us to laugh about, but I've realized I apparently don't often watch biographies or things like that.

True stories, and inspired by true stories, are rare for me because I generally watch things to forget about the real world, and to turn my mind off from it.

Every once in a while, however, there's something that you just HAVE to see.

When it's all about whales, then you DEFINITELY have to see it.

Big Miracle is just one of those things. You can't not. That's all I'm going to say on the matter before diving right in!

Talkie Tuesday: Deepwater Horizon

"I'll call you back, I'll call you back ..."


Hello everyone!

So.

It's back to my little notebook with reviews, since I haven't had the chance to actually watch something a little more current (I blame our country's Dancing with the Stars for eating up so much of my free time!). But hey, it's all good! I still have things to chew through. 

And of course one of the first I pick up is the one that made me curse, shiver, tear up, and outright bawl at my computer screen at the time when I put it on.

See every once in a while, I'll torture myself with some sort of 'based on a true story' movie.

You know, like I did with In the Heart of the Sea or Everest.

Usually, I have nightmares after, which I think may be the point.

Tonight's movie is definitely one of those. It's called Deepwater Horizon, after all.
