The perfect Father's Day gift: Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, in stores on June 10th! #JackRyanBluRay


I reviewed Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit back in January, and it was a great action-packed film. The movie is coming to DVD and Blu-ray on June 10th, and it would make a fantastic gift for Father's Day. The film stars Chris Pine, Keira Knightley, and Kevin Costner, along with other A-listers, and it's a fast-paced thriller.


If your dad is a movie fan like mine is, you could pair Jack Ryan with a few other action movies and make a day out of it - no trip to the theater required!

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009 version) is another great roller-coaster ride of a thriller, and would be the perfect movie to watch before or after Jack Ryan.

If your father really loves action movies, why stop at two films - how about adding Inception and 3 Days to Kill to your "must watch" list? Inception continues to be one of my favorite action/sci-fi films, and 3 Days to Kill is similar to Jack Ryan in that it has a lot of things going on, and Kevin Costner is fantastic in it.


But of course, to get the party started, you're going to need to head to Walmart first - they're offering the Blu-ray release of Jack Ryan for only $12.96 (that's a bargain!) and it also includes $15 off sports tickets at Ticketmaster - another activity to do with your dad on Father's Day weekend, perhaps? Just make sure you head there sometime between 6/10 and 6/14, as this special offer is only valid for those dates. Two great movies and $15 off sports tickets, for one low price - that's an awesome deal.

And if you're a fan of fast cars (or the men that enjoy them!), you can pick up a Walmart Exclusive pack, which includes both Jack Ryan and The Italian Job for $19.96 - the list price for this two-pack is $49.98, so that's another great deal.

What do you and your father do on Father's Day? Do you have any traditions that you like?

    I may have to pick this up for my dad! This year he asked my sister & I to get him a tool he's been eye balling. We'll probably be doing a cookout at our house and hangout, it seems to be my dad's new favorite hobby LOL

    $12.96 for that Jack Ryan film is a steal at Walmart. I swear I will miss Harrison Ford in this movie (even if he couldn't have played the character!)

      Yes, it is - most Blu-rays these days are $25+. :)

    Love that the bonus tickets pays for the cost of the movie. That's huge!

    Can't wait to see this one. I think we'll watch it for a Father's Day movie night.

    My dad was more of a reader than a movie watcher - unless it was old black and white movies. That is a really good price though - BluRays are usually twice as expensive!

    Movies are a hit here at our house, when we can steal the TV back from the kiddos.

    I noticed a 10% Cartwheel deal for the Jack Ryan film as well (from Target). Gotta love Kiera Knightly!

Movie Review: Baywatch (2017)

Image
I've never seen the TV show that the movie version of Baywatch is based on, but a few of the original cast members are brought back for cameo roles in the movie. The show initially only ran for one season, and then was canceled by NBC; however, it was later picked up through syndication. Baywatch (2017) isn't the first spin-off of the show, but it is the first movie adaptation of it, and it takes place in Florida rather than California.

Mitch Buchannon (Dwayne Johnson) is the Lieutenant lifeguard of Baywatch, and they're looking to expand their team by three people this year. One slot will definitely be going to former Olympian Matt Brody (Zac Efron), who is mandated to be there for community service; the other two slots end up going to Summer Quinn (Alexandra Daddario) and the dedicated but clumsy Ronnie Greenbaum (Jon Bass), who is shocked when he's chosen for the team. However, something's not right currently in the bay - bodies keep washing ashore, as well as…

The Friday Five, 7/17/20: 5 things I've been up to this week

Image
Quarantine, end of week 18. I kind of wonder when I should stop keeping track—technically we are not quarantined anymore and can go as we please, but until there is a COVID-19 vaccine, I still feel quarantined. I've still been avoiding eating-in at restaurants, and I miss traveling, too.


What I've been up to this week:
Buying masks. I bought a cute mask from Vera Bradley (see pic below) and also a corgi/bubble tea one (!) from PawtyThings.com. The VB one initially showed up in a shredded package, and the mask got a little dirty too; this was my first time buying from them and I was surprised, because they have a good reputation usually. I contacted them on Twitter and they sent me a new mask PLUS filters, and they sent it with expedited shipping too—good customer service. The VB one works really well and fits well around my ears; the corgi one is adorable but a little tight on my ears. Choosing flooring for my condo! Things are progressing, slowly but surely (hopefully). I chose…
