This is a blog about entertainment. It focuses on movies and series. The blog will give you an insight of the latest and past movies and series that are definitely a must see. All your latest entertainment news you find it here on Tanny tainment blogspot...Enjoy!
I am a huge fan of musical and when it comes to movies with music in it I take no second thoughts and enjoy myself watching it.
From the first Pitch Perfect which was epic and we thought OMG it just ended when we wanted more but brace yourself ladies and gentleman as the Pitch Perfect cast takes us into yet another thrilling, epic and enjoyable movie.
I am so excited about this movie and can't wait to sing along with the Bellas. But what will make this movie more enjoyable and fun is our own dearest 'comedian' Rebel Wilson also known as Fat Amy in the movie. She is fun, crazy and exciting and her appearance in both the movies is definitely a blast and wouldn't want to miss any of her crazy stunts...
For all those who love musical movies this is definitely one not to miss..... I personally wouldn't miss that for anything...GO BELLAS!!!
There is so much amazing soundtracks that you can sing along to and guess what you could even be surprised to hear your favorite song being sang by the all talented Bellas.
This year its a year to sing out loud..with our very own celebrities....
This
year if it wasn’t for school I will be all seated on my parent’s couch enjoying
all the epic movies lined up.
Remember The Fantastic Fourwhen it first aired in 2005. I was in grade 6 at that
time. Damn I became a fan of Jessica Alba, Ioan Gruffudd, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis. I was so thrilled to see that just one
incident can turn a normal human being into a super hero. As a kid when I
watched this movie I really wanted to be a super hero and save the day...I mean
what kid wouldn’t.
In
this all new Fantastic Four we see the characters ofMiles Teller, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell and Michael B. Jordan playing the characters
Mr Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The
Thing and The Human Touch
respectively. So sad was I to have new characters from the previous one but hey
as long as they put on a good show who wouldn’t love them.
The
Fantastic Four were 4 scientists who achieved superhuman abilities through a
teleportation experiment which goes haywire. They must now use their superhuman
abilities to save the world from an uprising tyrant.

Coming
to a sad of note of mine, I was really hurt when I learned thatKiefer Sutherland also known as Jack Bauer in the series 24 was supposed to
act in this movie as “The Thing.” I
was devastated that I won’t be seeing him in this movie.
Anyway, after watching the trailer, I really
didn’t feel devastated anymore. I was actually thrilled and excited that I
can’t wait for the 7th of August to see the whole movie.

What better way to start the first week of my
birth month than watching an Action and Sci-Fi movie....
The Blacklist one of the series that really got me liking the security forces....wooow were to begin to explain this epic, controversial and entertaining series is really difficult
When former government agent and fugitive Raymond "Red" Reddington surrenders to the FBI, he makes them an offer they can't refuse. On the mysterious condition that he work only with recent Quantico graduate Liz Keen, he agrees to help put away criminals from a list that he compiled, which includes politicians, mobsters, spies and international terrorists -- starting with long-thought-dead terrorist Ranko Zamani. As the two pursue their quarry, Red forces the rookie profiler to think like a criminal to see the bigger picture.
Red (James Spader) who also features in the Avengers:Age of Ultron as Ultron is just further beyond the word thrilling. Come on who thought our own cool helping guy would be all bad and life threatening...This is the more reason why The Blacklist and Avengers: Age of Ultron are definitely a must see.
My personal favorite of course is Red and not forgetting his right hand guy Hisham Tawfiq (Dembe). Oh my gosh I just love the way he is all serious but gets the job done. They really work well together with Red.
Season 2 is fun but season 1 really kept me on the edge of my bed...The first episode of season 1 really got me going and I was like who on earth just surrenders himself to the authorities just like that...I guess it got you wondering right??
Well am really one person who watches movies a lot but some of these movies and series I get recommendations from my dearest friend Thando..He is the one who actually suggested I watch it and it turned out to be an addiction of mine.
The Blacklist airs on Thursdays on NBC at 2100hours. Definitely this is a must see series as you get to know Ultron (Red) as you wait for the Avengers: Age of Ultron.
So if you are a fan of crime, action and technology The Blacklist is just the movie for you.
My favorite episodes so far is without doubt episode 1, 10 and 12 of season 1 and season 2 I enjoyed episode 9 season 2. The statement by Red really made an impact on me. He said; "A wise man learns a lot from a fool's question than a fool can learn from a wise man's answer." Strong words right.
On this episode, The task force tries to save Red when he's arrested and taken to a secret detention facility. At the facility, Red tangles with a thief with whom he shared a complicated history. Red in jail that came as a surprise but it had its purpose.I can go on and on but definitely this is a must see.
If “Hannibal” was a prequel to “TheSilence of the Lambs,” “The Blacklist” plays like a de facto sequel — which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Creating a toothy vehicle for James Spader, few series can boast such a compelling central figure, even if his cryptic comments and opaque motives risk giving way to a rather familiar procedural. Still, unlike a lot of this fall’s new hours, “The Blacklist” at least warrants a return visit — and perhaps more if Spader’s serpent-like villain can become more than just Hannibal Lite.
As a movie fanatic, I believe that it is much fun to blog about the upcoming movies which are definitely a must see...These movies will keep you glued to your couch.
So enjoy yourselves these year with the most thrilling, exciting and action packed packed movies...kick back relax and enjoy as I take you down the movie lane.........for you and your kids.
Hey there...this week am all about movies. I am a huge fan.I know most of you have seen the trailers to the movie Avengers:Age of Ultron. But with the movie coming up this May we we got a bunch of new stuff to sink our teeth into.
When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and we see Mightiest Heroes including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow Hawkeye and rising up to face the challenge. The team is put to the ultimate test as they battle Ultron (James Spader), a technologic al terror hell bent on human extinction. Along the way, they encounter two mysterious and powerful newcomers. Pietro and Wanda Maxim off.
This is way nice all our Heroes teaming up to fight for one cause. With Age of Ultron, we're bound to see more trailers, TV spots and plot information released in the coming weeks and months.
Rumours has it that Wolverine yes Wolverine! from the X-men is coming to join the Avengers. Wolverine also known as Logan in the movie is one epic Hero I really like. The iron claws really fascinate me and him joining the Avengers would be a bonus for me to really enjoy the movie along with all fans that are into him like myself.
Not only did rumours mention Wolverine but Spiderman too woow that must really be an epic movie for 2015. However, in Avengers: Age of Ultron Spiderman won't be there but will team up with the Avengers in a future film.
The future of Marvel is that all superheroes are Avengers and then maybe goes vs DC.
A Marvel vs DC will be way beyond the word fun itself. That's the real future deal. Ever thought of it?? I am already counting down into the future for this epic movie LOL.Marvel will keep us all guessing....
Avengers: Age of Ultron is one movie anyone shouldn't miss well unless of course you are not into this kind of movies.
7 weeks 2 days to the epic movie of 2015...So fasten your seat belts my friend as the Avengers: Age of Ultron is coming in with a bang.
