Talkie Tuesday: Return of Xander Cage

"I live for this shit."

Hello everyone!

I'm on a Vin Diesel binge it would seem, but I remember that moment when I accidentally saw the trailer for the new Xander Cage movie and thought it looked awesome.

I never got the chance to see the first one in theatre, because, duh, it was years ago and at the time I was not necessarily considered as someone who COULD go to the movies with friends (aka, you know when parents step in with their authority ... yeah, that). This time though, it was Vin Diesel on the big screen in something else but Fast Dom!

And it was rewarding.

People are judging by the fact that everything else seemed to be overshadowed by the big names attached to the film, but me, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I mean, come on, I don't watch Fast and Furious for the reality! Same goes for the XXX movies.

So, without further ado, let's go see what Diesel blew up in XXX Return of Xander Cage.

Talkie Saturday: The Last Witch Hunter

"Do you know what it's like to live forever?"

Hello everyone!

So since this past Tuesday was Halloween I figured I'd give up on trying to post something on my blog not connected to it, but I'd completely forgotten about this movie which has been sitting in my little sheep notebook for a while now. 

Of course, had I taken five seconds of my time and noticed Vin Diesel on the cover of the DVD, I might have remembered better.

The Last Witch Hunter isn't the kind of movie that I imagine great, global masses would rave about as they do with some other Diesel films in existence, but as for me I loved it. Whether it was because we got to see Sir Diesel in something else besides him riding or dying in fast cars jumping over submarines, or because Elijah Wood cured my inner wish for seeing more Frodo Baggins, I can't say.

What I can certainly admit to, though, is that I enjoyed the time I spent watching Diesel's character run around on screen as the unstoppable force of nature he always is.

I mean, come on; we all knew this was gonna be a street fight!

Talkie Tuesday: The Fate of the Furious

"Dominic Toretto has gone rogue."

Hello everyone!

Did I foreshadow my own Tuesday blog post back on Saturday? And did I, maybe, almost definitely, foreshadow it on Friday night when I posted on Instagram? 

Why yes, yes I did.

See, here's the thing: I love the Fast and Furious franchise. 

Sure, a lot of people complain that it's gone on FOREVER and it should end already. But then, a lot of people say the same thing about Supernatural, and look where that's got them. In plain facts: there are movies which will always make money, and this series with Vin Diesel at the helm is one of those.

Besides, it's already been announced that this current trilogy, eight, nine and ten, will be the last, bringing the whole number to ten movies which, collectively, have brought more money into the treasuries than a couple of other franchises combined.

So when one of my best friends suggested we go see The Fate of the Furious on Friday, just a day after the premiere, I was on board that train faster than you could say 'Ride or die'!

Talkie Tuesday: Furious 7

Hello everyone!

This week, it's back to the movies, and what movie has EVERYBODY talking right now? No, it's not Fifty Shades of Grey anymore, and it's not a Nicholas Sparks adaptation or a swansong to a Tolkien-inspired era.  

This week, it's ALL about bald (or nearly bald) muscled people, blue-eyed actors who can make you sob, scantily-clad women, Abu Dhabi ... and fast cars.

Yes, I'm absolutely, definitely talking about 'Furious 7'.

The seventh installment in the Fast and Furious franchise roared into cinemas worldwide on April 3rd, whereas we here in Slovenia were actually (surprisingly) able to see it a day early, on the second of that month. I didn't get to see the premiere, but my girls and I hopped along for the ride this past Saturday with probably everyone within reasonable (and maybe slightly less reasonable) driving distance from the cinema, considering every showing seemed to be sold out!

And yes, four girls can and WILL have a good time watching a movie about cars!
