This is a bit of a Spring Favorites/Spring recommendations tag. I did a Winter one here and hoped to do it seasonally. So yeah for keeping up. I know technically there’s a bit of time left for Spring but honestly once we hit Memorial Day it’s summer (and I’m already looking forward to Fall.)
I’m combining books, film and television I’ve seen recently. The tag is originally by Zarriah Rose over on Youtube.
Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story
Directed By: Alexandra Dean
Grade: A
Going into this documentary I knew two things about Hedy Lamarr- she was beautiful and she invented something important that had to do with WIFI that I couldn’t explain if I had tried. Luckily the documentary explains it better.
I honestly didn’t expect to like this one so much or to tear up in it.
Every time Spring rolls around I decide I’ve somehow developed a green thumb and surround myself with flowers and succulents and things that grow. This April was really no different. I’m finishing off my herb garden (which is really just a shelf) but hoping for the best with keeping them alive!
Avengers Infinity War
Directed By: The Russo Brothers
Grade: A-
Thanos has finally gotten his butt into gear and no one is ready for him.
WARNING: This review has SPOILERS so please if you don’t want to read SPOILERS stop reading here! Because I generally can’t talk about this one without the SPOILERS!
Last Warning!
A big part of me wants to talk Avengers Infinity Wars but I also think I need to give it a few more days to settle, give other people a chance to see it and maybe see it again. I enjoyed the film but I want to do spoilers so I’ll wait 🙂
I love to watch movies. I love to watch them on the big screen, But I do wish it could be like reading a book. Uninterrupted. Quiet. And with a pause so I can use the restroom and get food whenever I wanted. Since that’s impossible I’ve been known to try to control the experience where I can.
And here I would like to say how much I appreciate the friends and family that still go to see films with me!
In honor of this weeks big release & because I was looking it up anyway I thought I’d play a little game of Most Likely To Avengers Edition! I’ve never played the game before so I borrowed these questions specifically from Lifehacks website.
The Odd Couple
Directed By: Gene Saks
Grade: A
This was my Blind Spot Series pick for April in which I had one requirement: no romance. Also I wanted to watch it early because my movie going mind is swiftly shifting to exactly one track for the next couple of days!
A Quiet Place
Directed By: John Krasinski
Grade: B+
If they hear you. They hunt you.
Which strikes me as a phenomenally bad time to have a baby but whatever.
The Unpopular Opinions Tag is technically a book tag though I’m doing a Film and Television Edition because I think I have a lot more unpopular opinions about them. Either way this tag was originally created by The Book Archer.
These are my opinions of course. No offense intended.
Ready Player One
Directed By: Steven Spielberg
Grade: B+
Coming into this adaptation of the Ernest Cline novel I can honestly say I didn’t like a single one of the trailers. They just didn’t do anything for me and usually trailers are make or break in my case.
Luckily I did enjoy the film.
