Sunday Post #89



The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer.

Hello again. This has been a good week, although I didn't get much done. I do have several reviews lined up for this month, and a few movie reviews as well. There are a lot of big movies coming out so that should be fun. We're hitting 70's this week, so that's a good thing. 

Also I see the next Victorian bookseller is out in July- the cover is below. Happy to see this. 

Oh, and I saw Insurgent finally, and thought it was good. It got bad reviews so I almost didn't see it, but I'm glad I did. Pretty effective, I thought, and the special effects were good at depicting Chicago. I liked it.

  2. Ok, the trailer for Jurassic World looks so good! And I'm looking forward to your reviews this week. I hope I get to read them; last week I read very little due to family problems.

    Enjoy your weather and have a good week!

    1. I think so too actually, I'm skeptical of that movie but at the same time I kinda want to see it too! It's good to be back, and I hope everything is OK!

  5. Goes to show reviews are not always reliable, we need to make our own assessment, good that you enjoyed Insurgent.

  6. Hi there. Did you have a break? I thought I checked your blog a few times over past weeks and thought perhaps you were away or busy!

    I agree that Tomorrowland looks great!

  7. I love seeing Britt Robertson popping up in so many films. I stopped watching Under the Dome when she left the show so this is good for a fan like me. Plus Tomorrowland looks great. Jurassic World... I am so going to see that for the spectacle alone lol

    Have a great week!

  8. WELCOME BACK! Sort of :) I realized you were missing from the link for a while and when I came to your blog I noticed you were doing post but not linking them, sorry I missed all your Sunday posts but I am glad you are linked up today! :)

    I am actually looking forward to Tomorrowland, Jurassic World I am not to sure about, I love the original, so I might wait for that one to come to TV.

    Have a great week, Greg! Happy Reading :)

  9. I want to see Tomorrowland and also the new Avengers. I was never into the Jurasic franchise.
    I think your Victorian Bookseller picture link is broken -- I only see Kalahari.

  10. I saw Michelle's comment and I was also missing your posts. Good to see you back!
    I also liked Insurgent. It's been a while since I read the books but I like what they've done with the movies so far. I also can't wait to see Tomorrowland! It's nice to see an original movie coming instead of all these remakes.

    I hope the weather continues to stay warm for you and have a great week!

  12. I haven't seen Insurgent. Like you, I heard it wasn't so good. Now I'm thinking I should see it! And I want to see Tommorrowland. It looks good! Have a good week, Greg. It's good to see you back!

  13. I treat movie reviews as suggestions. Most of the time I love a movie that has low ratings and don't like one that has high ratings. LOL I'm looking forward to Jurraisic and Schwarzenagers new one Maggie. Johnnie Depp has a new one coming out and I hear he has another Jack Sparrow movie releasing in 2017. I'll also be watching for the new Poltergeist remake.

  16. I'm so behind on movies. I haven't seen Insurgent yet, and I still haven't seen Avengers yet. Tomorrowland looks pretty interesting, and I'll probably see Jurassic Park...because dinosaurs, lol.

  17. I'm excited about Jurassic World, but I'm disappointed at how much they put in the trailer. I feel like I've already seen the whole movie.
