Game Of Thrones: Season 8 on Blu-ray #review


The epic final run of HBO’s television phenomenon, Game of Thrones: Season 8, is now available to own on Digital Download and Blu-ray. 

In its final season of duplicity and treachery, nobility and honor … and an epic clash between the living and the dead, Game of Thrones: Season 8 answers a myriad of questions surrounding the fate of the series’ protagonists. Will the revelation that Jon Snow is a Targaryen, and the legitimate heir to the Iron Throne, undermine his relationship with Daenerys? How will Sansa, Arya and Bran – not to mention numerous northern Houses allied with the Starks – react to the appearance of traditional foes at the gates of Winterfell? Will Cersei’s devious strategy of fortifying her defense of King’s Landing yield dividends? And above all: can the Army of the Dead be defeated? This season is executive produced by David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, Carolyn Strauss, Frank Doelger, Bernadette Caulfield and co-executive produced by Bryan Cogman, Guymon Casady, Vince Gerardis and George R.R. Martin.

MY THOUGHTS

I actually enjoyed season 8.    I thought it was entertaining and kept me watching.  I actually thought it was well done. 

I was worried at how they would end the show but it actually was done to my liking but now just wondering if George R.R. Martin will end his book series similarly or it will be different.  I guess we will know whenever or if he ever finishes writing the next book.

I am giving season 8 a 4 out of 5.

GOOD BOYS #MovieReview



After being invited to his first kissing party, 12-year-old Max (Jacob Tremblay; Room) is panicking because he doesn’t know how to kiss. Eager for some pointers, Max and his best friends Thor (Brady Noon, HBO’s Boardwalk Empire) and Lucas (Keith L. Williams, Fox’s The Last Man On Earth) decide to use Max’s dad’s drone – which Max is forbidden to touch – to spy on a teenage couple making out next door. But when things go ridiculously wrong, the drone is destroyed. Desperate to replace it before Max’s dad (Will Forte, The Last Man on Earth) gets home, the boys skip school and set off on an odyssey of epically bad decisions involving some accidentally stolen drugs, frat-house paintball, and running from both the cops and two terrifying teenage girls (Molly Gordon; Life of the Party and Midori Francis; Ocean’s Eight).

MY THOUGHTS

I think I am not into modern-day comedy. I just didn't like that movie at all. I barely even found it funny. 

If you are into modern comedy movies you will probably enjoy this one but it is just not for me at all. 

I am giving this 1 out of 5.

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw Review


The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing. Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. 



For years, hulking lawman Luke Hobbs and lawless outcast Deckard Shaw have traded smack talk and body blows. But when cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton Lorr (Idris Elba; “Thor: Ragnarok,” “The Dark Tower”) gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever, Hobbs and Shaw must partner up to bring down the only guy who might be badder than themselves. Joining the cast as Shaw’s sister Hattie, Vanessa Kirby (Mission: Impossible-Fallout, “The Crown”) “is convincing as a woman who can take care of herself” (Rafer Guzman, Newsday). Directed by David Leitch from a story by longtime Fast & Furious narrative architect Chris Morgan and a screenplay by Morgan and Drew Pearce (Mission: Impossible – Rogue NationIron Man 3), Hobbs & Shaw is produced by Johnson, Statham, Morgan and Hiram Garcia (SkyscraperRampage).

MY THOUGHTS

I admit that I only have seen the first and second Fast & Furious movies.  

I watched Hobbs & Shaw the other day and yes I did enjoy this one.  I thought it is a good one that kept me entertained.   There is lots of action and the story line was very well done.  

I do highly recommend this movie. 

I give this 4 out of 5.

Wonder Woman: Bloodlines #Review

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own




Like all super heroes, Wonder Woman didn't become a protector of the world overnight. Follow Diana on her journey from her island home of Themyscira and away from the Amazon people, a warrior race made up entirely of women, and into the world of men. When Steve Trevor crashed near Themyscira, Diana felt she had no choice but to leave home and use her gifts to save people. This path forced her to deal with a wide array of threats, but Wonder Woman is able to face anything with determination and strength and the help of her magic lasso, invisible plane and her new allies.
You can purchase in stores or use my affiliate link from amazon.ca





MY THOUGHTS

If you have been reading this blog for a while you will know that I have been watching and reviewing many (if not all) of the DC Universe animated movies.  Both my husband and I are DC fan so I have been so excited every time one of the movies or tv shows on DVD/Blu-ray arrive in my mailbox.
Wonder Woman: Bloodlines have been out for a while now and I have had this movie sitting on my desk for over 3 weeks but we finally had the chance to sit down and watch it yesterday.
I very much enjoyed this movie. I love the animation, voice acting and the story.  I thought it is well done and so entertaining. 
This one is one you should get if you love DCU animated movies. 
I am going to give this 5 out of 5.

Woodstock Chimes Zenergy chime

The Zenergy chime. Sorry this is not my photo. I somehow lost some of my photos

A cute pencil.  I will be coming in handy with my new journal 
I just love those little cards. I am going to be sticking them into my journal


If you like tea. Personally, I am super picky when it comes to tea and this one just wasn't for me

I just love this one. It is so pretty.
Make your own candle kit. I haven't made it yet but I can't wait to make my very first one.

Siberian fir essential oil.  I am not a fan of the smell personally but I still used this one a few times. I do like that the scent didn't give me a headache.

MY THOUGHTS

I have to say that I am very impressed with this box.  I loved the candle kit, the journal kit, the little cards and chime the most. I do like the idea of tea even though this kind of tea isn't for me. I do also love the fact that you get essential oils.

I suffer from anxiety and I think this box is very good for those who suffer anxiety like I do. 

Do I recommend it?  Oh yes, I do.

2019 Gift Idea



hello everyone,

It is the time of year where you try to find perfect holiday gifts for loved ones but we all have one or more family members or friends. If you have been a follower of my blog you will know that every year I write up posts to help you with gift ideas. I know purchasing gifts can end up stressful. I am good at finding gifts for everyone but sometimes it can still be hard when you have someone on your list that has everything or keeps saying they don't need anything. Sometimes jewellery is a good idea, especially ones that are engraved or have a photo in it.

Here are a few suggestions for you:

If you are dating someone for a while you can always give him or her promise rings cheap or maybe a monogram bracelet. 

Looking for something for your mom or grandmother or an aunt/uncle or your husband/wife? You know sometimes older family members are hard to shop for. I never have any problems finding what to get for the children in my family but I sometimes have a hard time finding something for my mom or my brother and sisters.
Sometimes we buy gift cards for those family or friends who are hard to shop for but why not get them something more from the heart. Maybe you can give your husband or your father a photo dog tag or a photo necklace to your wife or mom instead of a gift card? Check out this page https://www.getnamenecklace.com/photo-necklace.  You can give grandma a necklace that has a photo of her grand-children. You can even buy a necklace with a photo of a beloved cat or dog for a friend! I am a dog lover and receiving a necklace or keychain with a photo of my cute and sweet little dog would just be the perfect gift.
