Hello
happy movie fans! A few movies
recently, and hopefully more to come!
This weekend I have my besties birthday which I am excited for because I've
had her present wrapped and ready for about 4 months now and it's been begging
to be given. Bella will also be front
and center for the adopt-a-thon looking for her furever home so I'm sure I'll
be sore and tired by the end of this weekend lol. That said here is what I’ve seen the last two
weeks:
Halloween: 3.5 Stars
So I finally watched the
first Halloween online then just a few hours later saw the new Halloween, which
per my internet dive said takes place after the first one, if it had ended
slightly differently. That said having
seen them so close together, literally within 4 hours of one another, I did
enjoy the parallel between them that paid a sense of homage. Still while it was fun, made more so by my
co-workers joining, it wasn’t the best Halloween time / horror type movie nor
was it the best I’ve seen recently.
Still I enjoyed it enough that I’m glad I saw it. I do plan to watch the other movies in the
series at some point as well and maybe when I do I’ll rank them but for now the
new iteration was fun but not something I’m excited to see again or own.
Hunter Killer: 5 Stars
I hadn’t seen a ton of
trailers for this one much like his other movie Geostorm but when I did see the
trailer it looked interesting. A
commander in charge and having to go into something never done before while a
spy thriller is played out. I was
down. Plus let’s be honest I might have
a soft spot for Gerald Butler. I enjoyed
myself. I love a good story about a strong
leader fighting the odds to try and stop all out war. Trying to make friends of enemies and so
on. It’s a great dynamic.
The Nutcracker & the Four Realms: 5 Stars
So
I might be one of the only people in the world unfamiliar with the Nutcracker
ballet. I know of it, that it exists and
there is a Nutcracker and Sugar Plum Fairy but that’s about it. I didn’t know the story behind it, though
having seen this movie I would love to see a real ballet. The movie as a whole
was beautiful. Seriously the whole
experience was eye opening and a marvel to watch play out before my eyes. I enjoyed all the characters, the story, the
visuals, the music. Everything. It was a total package for me.
*****
So
upcoming movies….there are so many I want to see but clearly only the budget
for so many and weeding out which ones is hard!
What movies have you seen recently?
What should I see? Next weekend I'm seeing Fantastic Beasts 2 no
question but other than that it's hard to choose between such fun looking
movies!
