“We need a little less Forever 21 and a little more Suddenly 42”

  • What is this movie about? sisters

Two sisters go back to their hometown as their parents are selling their childhood house and they need to clean up their bedrooms. But saying goodbye to their childhood might get out of hand when they celebrate a party with their old school friends…

  • Why should you watch it?

Because there are two great things in this movie: Amy Poehler and Tina Fey. Every single time these two share some screen time, either on a movie, at SNL or at the Golden Globes, you cannot look away from it. they really steal the show wherever they are and whatever they do. So please just watch this movie to see (as always) their on-screen chemistry.

Besides those two, and their amazing performances, the movie plot is not bad either. If you are looking for a deep thinking movie, just get out of here. But if, on the other hand, you want just to have some laughs and think about nothing this is your movie! Forty somethings going back to their hometown and reminescencing their old times, who hasn’t thought about that even in their twenties!!? There are many funny gags in this movie and please believe me when I say I couldn’t stop laughing for a single second. This is not a cheesy movie, but something we all can be related to (even when we are being ridiculous).

When are they going to do another movie? Do we have to wait long!??

 

  • Did you know?

– Paula Pell wrote the two roles of the sisters just for Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

– Pazuzu, the name of the imposing drug dealer played by John Cena, is also the name of the demon that possesses the young girl (Regan MacNeil, played by Linda Blair) in The Exorcist (1973).

– In their previous movie together Baby Mama (2008), Amy Poehler played the “bad girl” and Tina Fey played the “good girl”. This time, the roles are reversed.

Marvel’s Agent Carter

2016, Marvel, USA

marvel's agent carter.jpg

Season 1 – 8 Episodes

Season 2 – 10 Episodes

This (mini) series takes place right after the events of Captain America (2011). We follow what happens with Agent Peggy Carter, first introduced to us in the Captain America movie and who has appeared in other Marvel’s movies, if only for a cameo. We follow her life in the 40s and how S.H.I.E.L.D. did originate.agent_carter

The series if absolutly fantastic.Although there is Marvel in the tittle, we see NO superheroes at all. Not a single one! NONE! So if you wanted to watch more superheroes series go an pick something else (you have plenty to choose from) but if you want something from the Marvel universe where we not see any of them, just plain normal human beings working for a secret agency and fighting against bad guys, this is your series.

For those who haven’t watched the Captain America movie (or any Marvel movie so far), this series takes place in the 40s, after World War II. The main character is Peggy Carter. British but living in the United States. Agent of a secret agency that mainly has men as agents. She not only has to face working in an agency full of testosterone but also she has to face Mr Stark (the father of Iron Man) and his contant flirting (which is really hillarious). In addition, there is Mr Jarvis, Mr Stark’s buttler and all-do man who constantly helps Peggy in her misions.

The show is really smooth. It has continuity, there is not a single stop for any moment. It has humour, those Brits really now how so survive in the US. It has references to other Marvel movies, which is cool for Marvel fans so you have to keep foru eyes to get those. And above all it has a great quality! For a moment you forget that you are watching a Marvel show and you feel like watching and old film noir, which is not far from the truth. There are crimes taking place, femme fatales everywhere and a Cold War coming its way. Simply fantastic!

Although its first season got good reviews it barely made it into a season renewal. Now, the second season is over and we are facing the same thing. Again. so please #SaveAgentCarter!!

 

 

  • Did you know?

– Agent Carter wears red, white, and blue to work, perhaps a tribute to her fallen love, Steve Rogers, aka Captain America.

– This series takes place after the events of “Captain America” (2011).

– Hayley Atwell admitted on Twitter while filming the first season of Agent Carter, she had to go get her picture taken for her driver’s license/ID at the Department of Motor Vehicles. As a result, her photo on the card has her in the hairstyle, makeup and outfit of Peggy Carter.

– It is widely rumored that the ring Dr. Ivechenko spins on his finger while manipulating his victims is one of The Mandarin’s ten rings. Known as the Mento-Intensifier ring, aka The Liar, it allows the wearer to create mental illusions and even mental paralysis inside another person’s mind.

– The main over arching plot of the series of Howard Stark enlisting Peggy to help him retrieve his stolen inventions is an adaption of the story arc, “Armor Wars” from the Iron Man comics, where Tony Stark hunts down his stolen armor tech.

– Cinematographer Gabriel Beristain used a combination of modern digital technology and traditional analog techniques to replicate the feel of period films.
