Tyler Perry's Temptation

 

LET'S TALK MOVIES!!!

 

      Here is a movie that needs to be talked about.  If there is one thing Tyler Perry does well, it's movies and plays like this one.  He has this thing with life lessons and turns them into good movies, sometimes they're funny and sometimes they're not.  Temptation is one of those movies I think a lot of women and men should see because the plot is something many people have gone through or is going through it.

 

      In this movie you have a young woman who married her high school sweet heart and was happy, until she met another man through her job.  She got her degree in counseling, but was working for a "dating" service as the interviewer.  When the company she works for decides to merge with a social network company, things get a little messy. 

 

      The CEO of this social network begins to work very closely with the young woman.  He starts to tell her how he would treat her, where he would take her, what he would buy her, and how different and better and how spontaneous the sex would be.  Told her how pretty she was.  Questioned her marriage and made her believe that there is something better than what she has.  Unfortunately, it all worked out in his favor.

 

      On the other hand, there is a woman who is running from a man that beat her on a regular.  Not that I don't blame her for running away, she good reasons to.  However, she didn't run far enough.  Before I forget to mention, the guy she is running from is the same guy running the social network company.  This woman finds a job with the young woman's husband and neither of them have a clue that they are talking about the same man, that is until she decides to tell him she has HIV.

 

      Needless to say, in the end the young woman and the CEO start arguing.  The young woman gets beat up so badly that after her wounds healed, she was never the same and was HIV positive too.  Although she lost her husband, they remained good friends.  She did become a marriage counselor, but she didn't have her own practice like she wanted.

 

      In the end people, don't let anyone come into your happy home and take everything away from you and your family.  Just because you made a mistake and you realize that you made that mistake, that doesn't mean that your number one person will always be there to pick you up and still stay with you.  I give this movie 4 stars.  It was a really good movie, the only complaint I have is that is was too predictable.  I love the plays and movies Tyler Perry does because almost everybody can relate to them.  Well folks, that's all for now.  Til next time.............

 

LET'S TALK MOVIES!!!!

IRON MAN 3

LET'S TALK MOVIES!!!

 

      Lights, camera, action.  The best part of this movie was the action.  I've said it before and I will say it again, I love action based movies.  Moving forward, this was one of the best out of all three (in my opinion).  The only thing I didn't like about it was the fact that it didn't have nearly as much action as Iron Man 2.  I have to say though, when the house starts to come down, due to some rockets from the helicopter, I really like the way Stark made sure Pepper was safe and then she saved him.

 

      If you notice, in every hero based movie that has a sequel, they always remember their mistakes and it always comes back to haunt them.  The day Iron Man became who he is was day all his problems started.  In this movie, Iron Man has anxiety attacks which came from his help of saving the world in Avengers.  After dealing with that, he realized the most important person he should have been keeping safe the whole time.  That's a good thing, right?  For most men, they don't figure that out til it's too late......lol.

 

In the end, Iron man finds out who the real man behind the crimes are and once again saves the day and saves Ms. Pepper.  He also decided to get help for himself.  Now, before end this, there was word that Robert was no longer going to play as Iron Man after this movie.  I'm not sure how much of this is true, however, at the end of the movie, Stark says Iron Man will be back.  Also, if you are a true Marvel fan like myself and my family, then you know that at the very end of the movie there is always some form of short clip, so if you go and see it, be sure to stay after the credits roll.  I give Iron Man 5 stars.  I mean sure, it could have used a little more action, but lets not over do it.  Til next time folks........

 

LET'S TALK MOVIES!!!!

 

Next up, Temptation, Croods, and John Reacher.  Movie madness time.



Rock those heels girl!

 

LET'S TALK SHOES!!!!

 

      Do you like what you see?  Most of us can't help ourselves.  We just love shoes, right?  However, most women can't really walk in these shoes.  Though we love them, the length of the heels are not always our friends.  For example, take these shoes below........

 

Almost everything looks good in black.  LOOK AT THAT HEEL!!!  No way could walk in that.

If you think about all the many times you have seen a woman walking in high heel shoes, think about how she is walking in them.  Some women don't even realize that they can't walk in these kind of heels.  However, many can, and I take my hat off to those who can.

 

 

      Now I'm sure you're wondering why I chose this subject.  Let tell you.  I was out one evening picking up a package and well I had to wait for the package to arrive, I noticed a well dressed woman walk in.  The first thing I noticed was those great looking shoes.  They were the kind that had the "original" boot look with a very high heel.  The heel was similar to picture above.  That's pretty freaking high, Right?  The next thing I noticed was the way she was walking.  The first thing that came to mind was, "She really can't walk in those shoes." 

      So what should you do if you find yourself walking funny (and not in a good way)?  Practice, or just change the height of your next heel.  You may be able to "rock" those heels, but what does that really mean?  In my opinion, when someone tells you that you are "rocking" those heels, that means not only are those shoes good looking and look good on you with whatever you are wearing, but that you can walk "right" in them.  Bottom line, if you can't walk in them, don't buy them.  Do what I do and wear the ones you know, without a doubt, you can walk in.........



 

      That's all for now folks.  Til next time..........

 

LET'S TALK

NOT JUST MOVIES ANY MORE

LET'S TALK?????

 

      I'm going to change things up a little bit.  A really good friend of mind told me, "Not everyone is into just movies.  May you should switch things up and talk about other things too."

At first I wasn't so sure, but now I'm thinking, "Why not."  What's the worst that could happen, no one would read it...... Well, it's not like there's a lot of people reading it now.  No worries, I will still be posting about movies.  However, I plan on having a few "random" postings as well.  May that will draw a few more viewers to my blog.............hmm.

 

      Till we meet again folks......

 

LET'S TALK?????

Witch Hunters

      We all know the story of the two kids who get lost and find this house made of candy and there's a witch inside who likes to eat children.  Like most tails, they end with a happy ending, right?  Well, in this story, there's still a happy ending, however, there is alot of fighting, shooting, stabbing, exploding, and BLOOD..........  Today's topic,

 

HANSEL AND GRETEL

 

LET'S TALK MOVIES!!!

 

      This new and improved version of Hansel and Gretel took me a little by surprise.  For example, there were no bread crumbs to lead them back home, they didn't voluntarily leave on their own, and you don't hear anything about any other witches other than the one trying to eat them.  We also find out that Hansel could die if he doesn't take his meds every so often.  Turns out diabetes has been around for a long time.  The difference is his meds gets him back on his feet just seconds after taking them.  Anyway, there are good witches and bad witches and there is a way to tell the difference between the two.  However, Hansel and Gretel didn't know there was a such thing. 

 

      Hansel and Gretel's parents tried to hide them from the witches and town's people some where in the woods, and they were planing on coming back for them.  However, the town's people had other plans.  They burned the mother, who just so happened to be a good witch, and hung the father, who was just a regular guy.  Once the children escaped the witch, burning her in her own grill or oven, they became the witch hunters.  Each and every time they crossed a witch, they killed them and saved other children.  Once they got older, there was one witch that made things a little difficult for them.  They called this witch an Elder Witch.  She was the kind that could change into human form and witch form, while other witches could not.  In the end, there was some kind of spell that could keep the witches from burning.  All they needed was 12 children and the heart of a "white" witch (good witch).  Of course there's still a happy ending.  So Hansel and Gretel learn the truth about their parents and defeat the elder witch.  With a little help from a fan and a white witch (who died trying to save Hansel).

 

      I have to say that I love the way Hollywood takes these stories that we grew up on and add their on twist to them.  I do not recommend the kids watch, I'm just saying. Make sure you watch it first before you think it's ok for them.  This movie had some action to it and those who love blood and guts flying everywhere, I'm sure you too would like this movie.  I really did enjoy this movie, so I give this movie 4 stars. 

 

      Well, that's it for now folks, stay tuned for more movies coming up soon.  Til next time........

 

LET'S TALK MOVIES!!! 

Don't get Pitch Slapped!

      Now here is a movie that caught my attention.  I know there are plenty of movies about singing, but not like this.  College students joining groups that have singing competition.  Without further ado, today's topic is......

Pitch Perfect.

Let's Talk Movies!!!!

 

      In this movie you have a girl just wants to become a producer and that's it.  However, her father wants her to finish college first.  Not wanting to make friends nor planning on joining any groups of any kind, her father begs her to try.  When she was approached by one of the singing groups, she turned them down and said she doesn't sing.  While taking a shower, she was cornered by one of the singing girls and was asked to show up to the auditions. 

 

      This young girl had no idea what she was getting into.  She also didn't know that the judges had a song already picked.  Although she did show up, she was a little late.  She already had her song picked out and she rocked it.  After she was picked along with a few other girls, she learned why they didn't win last year.  Later, the girls attend a battle that occurs on campus, and let me tell you, that part was fun to watch.  In the battle, a category is chosen and anyone can sing a song that relates to it.  Here's the trick though, you have to make it to the middle of the "ring."  For example, one of the categories is "sex," so you have to sing a song about sex.

 

      Afterwords, there's the competition itself where the head girl decides to keep it traditional, however, that only keeps them in the game for one more round.  By the time the next round comes, the head girl sticks to the same song but, the girl who just wants to be a producer, puts her own little twist to it.  Although the judges were impressed, it wasn't enough to exceed to the next round, at least not until the announcers found out that one of the other groups had a high school student in their group.  The group was disqualified therefore allowing the girl group back in.  After a huge break down with the girls, the head girl realized that the group needed to do something different if they were going to win this competition.  In the end, the girls won and the producer girl found friends and a boyfriend.  I give this movie 4 stars.  It was a good movie and I think anyone who really appreciates music may enjoy this as well.

 

      That's all for now folks, so until next time...........

 

LET'S TALK MOVIES!!!

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

      As we decided to take the kids to see a movie, of course this was when Christmas was just around the corner, they seemed to be very excited about the movie we had chosen.  Today's topic,  Rise of the Guardians.

      I have to say that for all of the kid type movies, aka family movies, that were put out last year, this was by far the best I've seen.  It brings a whole new meaning to Sand Man, Jack Frost, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and or course Santa Claus.  In all of the stories I've ever heard, Jack was a bad person.  However, in this very unique story, Jack is just misunderstood and no one believes in him like they believe in everyone else.

      I really enjoyed this story because it shows us how Jack Frost became who he is and how or why he was chosen to be a guardian.  When Jack was a living young boy, he had a sister.  The both of them were out on the frozen lake, only it wasn't completely frozen.  The lake still had some weak spots and the ice was cracking.  With a stick in the shape of a cane, Jack attempted to save his sister.  He switched places with his sister with one quick move, but in doing so, the frozen lake split open and Jack fell in.  Unable to escape, Jack died in the water that day and became Jack Frost.

      Jack had the opportunity to help the world.  Help keep the children believing in everyone.  However, he didn't want to at first.  That is until he saw Pitch and what he can do.  That changed everything for Jack.  This movie was a amazing and I encourage everyone to find a way to see that movie, with or without the kids (for those who don't have any).  As a adult, we tend to like a lot of the kid movies too.  Rise of the Guardians gets a 5 star rating from me.  Til next time folks...........
