‘MIKE & DAVE NEED WEDDING DATES’: Trailer

February 8, 2016February 8, 2016by KristinLeave a Comment

Hey movie peeps!! I caught this trailer last night and thought I’d share the hilarity! Zac Efron has recently proven to be quite a force in the world of comedy films, and if Anna Kendrick’s Twitter humor is any indication…this is sure to be a hit!

Check out the trailer below and let me know what you think!

SYNOPSIS: Hard-partying brothers Mike (Adam Devine) and Dave (Zac Efron) place an online ad to find the perfect dates (Anna Kendrick, Aubrey Plaza) for their sister’s Hawaiian wedding. Hoping for a wild getaway, the boys instead find themselves outsmarted and out-partied by the uncontrollable duo.

Hey everyone! If you’re a fan of the original “Grease,” I’m sure you were tuned in to the live, musical event that aired on Sunday, January 31 on FOX! Brancey, Keisha and I got together to talk about what we liked, what we didn’t like (and all of Aaron Tveit’s thrusting) and how we thought this event did in comparison to other recent musicals.

In case you’re not familiar with the original production, here’s a quick synopsis:

After enjoying a summer romance, high school students Danny and Sandy are unexpectedly reunited when she transfers to Rydell High. There Sandy must contend with cynical Rizzo and the Pink Ladies in attempt to win Danny’s heart again.

So check out our podcast review below, and let us know what you think!

Movie Review: CRIMSON PEAK

January 30, 2016August 23, 2017by KristinLeave a Comment

Directed By: Guillermo del Toro

Written By: Guillermo del Toro and Matthew Robbins

Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain, Charlie Hunnam, Jim Beaver

Synopsis: In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds – and remembers.

It’s been a while since I’d heard anything regarding Crimson Peak, so when I had the opportunity to watch and review it, I was pretty excited! Admittedly, it’s not my favorite film of all time, but I did actually enjoy it. The trailer is rather misleading, as it jumbles up the timeline a bit, but it was intriguing nonetheless. Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland, Jane Eyre) is wonderful as Edith Cushing, an aspiring writer of a ghost story and a loving daughter of her widowed father. Twice in her life, Edith is visited by her mother’s spirit, who warns her of a place called Crimson Peak. The words don’t hold much meaning until she meets Thomas Sharpe (Hiddleston) and his sister, Lucille (Chastain). While I enjoyed the film and the mystery of it all, I wish the fact that Thomas and Lucille had a secret agenda wasn’t as obvious from the very beginning. It was missing the shock factor for me. Also, who the heck would live in an ancient home with red clay seeping through the walls and floor boards?? Calling the estate Crimson Peak because of the clay turning the fallen snow red was enough for me. Despite that, I still thought the storyline was interesting, and the actors were all fantastic! I would definitely recommend checking it out.

Zayn Malik’s Debut Solo Single “Pillowtalk” Has Arrived!

January 29, 2016February 2, 2016by KristinLeave a Comment

It’s the moment all One Direction fans dreaded! The moment when the 23-year-old would drop his first solo single since leaving One Direction mid-tour in March 2015.

Now, as a woman in her 30’s, I’ve had my share of boy band heartbreaks! Nsync broke up. Need I say more? Ok, maybe I can. NKOTB split up for years (and got back together so maybe there’s hope for a reunion when they’re in their 40’s Directioners!), Backstreet Boys lost Kevin for a while (and got him back), etc. It happens, and it stinks, but we saw this happen with Justin Timberlake, didn’t we? He needed something more than the cookie cutter boy band image, so he went off on his own and he’s done amazingly well! Don’t get me wrong…I’m still holding out hope for a reunion though…

With Zayn’s debut single, it’s definitely edgier than we’re used to seeing from him. WAY EDGIER! I actually really like it…with the exception of knowing that my 11-year-old niece will end up watching it and have a million questions (like why it’s called “Pillowtalk” in the first place lol). The video was released on January 29, just 2 days after band released their nostalgic video for “History.” Coincidence? Quite possibly.

In any case, check out One Direction’s newest video and then check out Zayn’s debut as a solo artist. Let me know what you think! Tweet me @kristin0409!

If you get your hands on a blu-ray copy like I did. Seriously watch the special features. Good stuff people…especially The Martial Arts of Marco Polo and Fight Scenes Rehearsals. Oh…the gag real is funny as well – – the show is so serious – it was funny to see the cast having fun. (lol) Once you’re done with the special features – you’ll realize that A LOT goes into making this series.
