Moonfall (review)

 Megan and I watched this random movie from 2022 to see if it was any good. 

It's a story of renegade AI, alien races, government conspiracies and astronauts from NASA trying to save the planet before the moon comes crashed down to earth. 

Throw in a few humorous moments and this was a fun watch. It follows the strict formula used in every action film of the late 90s to a T. Even the characters. 

We have the down on his luck, hero who comes out of retirement to save the day! The girl who has beef with the hero but is willing to work with him one more time when the planet Earth is on the line and the comedic relief "conspiracy theorist" who does have some good lines. 

At the end you could tell this movie was begging for a sequel, but since the movie went in and out of theaters without so much as a whimper in the box office, it's very doubtful one will come. 

Overall though, it was an enjoyable film and worth it, when there's nothing else to view. 

Have a good weekend folks!

Voyage of the Dawn Treader

 Loved it. Best one of the series so far. 

The filmed this the same time as Caspian. The story doesn't feel dragged out of rushed either and is very true to the novel. They just don't make movies like this anymore. These days everyone thinks they can write better than a Best Selling novel and move away from the original vision of the books to their own lame, pathetic and terrible attempt to rewrite the story for "modern" audiences. 

It's terrible. 

Thankfully, this took place in a time people could still stay true to the vision of the author and I'm thankful for it. 

Needless to say, the kids LOVED this one. 

On to the Silver Chair!

Bubblicious Strawberry Ghost

 Tried it. 

Taste very similar to the regular Bubblicious flavor I tried. I could smell the strawberry but the flavor is so weak it's overwhelmed by the bubble gum flavor.

Now that I think about it, I don't think I'd ever try either of these two flavors again. 

Alani Witch's Brew

 Almost every woman at work goes nuts over this flavor every year. WalMart says whenever they receive a pallet of it, it sells out before the end of the day. Woman from work are literally buying CASES of this stuff and I finally got to try it and see for myself. 

It's ok. Taste like a caramel apple.... but I don't get the hype. It's a fine flavor and this is my first time to try this drink, but it's not something I would buy over several other choices at the store. 

I heard they even made a "regular" edition to sell outside of the fall holiday called "Candy Apple" but I'm not sure I'll try that one unless someone throws a can my way. 

Prince Caspian (BBC Review)

 This series was only 2 episodes long and it was excellent. They didn't feel the need to stretch the simple story from the novel any longer than it needed. (unlike the Disney film)

It doesn't over stay its welcome and (once again) stays true to the story from the novel. The set, costumes and acting are good for a show from the 80s. BBC really have love for this book series. You can tell that in the production. 

It's obvious to me now, that the filmed this and Voyage of the Dawn Treader back to back. 

Can't wait to get to the next book in the series. Even my kids are enjoying this!

The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe (BBC Review)

 Watched this again with the kids. 

After reading the books, I couldn't help it. Had to re-watch these. 

The first one is BBC GOLD. 

So much fun. I must have rented this out at the library 100 times, I remember it so well. The actress playing the White Witch was excellent. 

Costumes, set, pacing and how true to the book the show kept is remarkable. 

Worth your time if you were fans of the book. 

Have a good weekend folks! 

Ghost Bubblesious

 Finally tried this flavor. It taste exactly as it looks. Bubble gum flavor. Not bad...but I ain't a kid anymore, so this flavor doesn't really appeal to me. 

I remember when I was a kid, bubble gum ice cream was my FAVORITE flavor. Even the hard ice cold bits of bubble gum that came within, were a treat. 

These days? I've never get it. (though oddly I don't see it anymore at ice cream shops)

Either way, I'm glad I got the chance to try it, so I could scratch that itch and move on.
