katikatI went to see...
American Assassin - great cast, good action, needed better, tighter directing. I think it was a missed opportunity. Don't get me wrong, I liked it, I just didn't love it. Maybe that will change when I get it on DVD, that usually happens. The thing is, I don't think it'll earn enough money for a sequel. And that's too bad because I would've loved to see Dylan O'Brien and Michael Keaton together on the screen again.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle - fantastic action, great cast, passable story, way too long. And some of the jokes were downright distasteful - seriously, the vagina thing? *full-body shudder* I would've cut Elton John out completely and severely slashed Penny's time on-screen. I did love the original Galahad and Agent Tequila! Weirdly, I slash those two O.O
On DVD I saw...
Shelter - I just needed something soft and sweet. One of he best gay romances out there, hands down.
Angels and Demons - another Robert Langdon movie. Not bad but not nearly as interesting as the first one. Still, good time was had.
Inferno - the last Robert Langdon movie (so far). And the weakest. I just didn't care about it. It was long, it was boring... no wonder it flopped. It just lacked the spark of the previous films in the series. I think it's time to let Robert Langdon rest.
On the TV front...
MacGyver - the reboot, I mean. I fell SO HARD for the show! I mean, so hard! I'm actually writing fics for it, 3 by now! Wow. I haven't felt this inspired to write anything for something new in ages. It's basically a modern day A-Team - over the top, silly and not to be taken seriously - but the relationship between MacGyver and Jack Dalton is just... MWAH!
The Librarians - got S1 on DVD and I should finish it tonight. Another silly, sweet, cute show with little to no real angst. The perfect show to watch when you feel down and need cheering up!
