Marvel Avengers Infinity War Review No Spoilers Plus Wakanda Revisted Featurette

Movies



MBE partnered with Marvel Studios for this review


Marvel superhero fans have been waiting what seems like an eternity. It's finally here: after literally 10 years in the making, Avengers: Infinity War (2018) from Marvel Studios has opened on the big screen to rave reviews.



The production company which brought us Iron Man, Captain America, the Thor movies (most recently, Thor Raganok), and earlier this year, the blockbuster Black Panther, has done it again. 

This time, it's Avengers: Infinity War, the latest installment in the ultimate superhero series. And, the long story short is that this picture just might be the best Avengers movie to date.



Prior to screening this with my spouse ahead of its big screen release, I can honestly say my expectations were not that high. After all, how many more thrills can the Avengers franchise contiue to eke out? 

I have to say, though, that this film really caught me off guard me. It is so packed with action, laughs, and great dynamics between the incredible cast ensemble, that it washed away any feelings of doubt in my mind.

Watch this exclusive Wakanda Revisited featurette to get your adrenalin flowing and put you in the mood for what's in store in Avengers: Infinity War




Certainly the Avengers have had quite the wild ride so far, and it seems it is far from over yet. This time, they must join forces with a host of other Marvel heroes to face their greatest enemy to date -- Thanos, an intergalactic conqueror who is hell-bent on wreaking havoc across the galaxy.

Among the allies, Marvel enthusiasts will be treated to appearances by some of our favorite characters, including the Avengers, Spider-Man, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and the Wakandans from Black Panther. 



Let me tell you, folks, none of them will disappoint. With an all-star cast including Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Holland and strong female characters such as Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Pot -- and many others -- the stage is set for awesome chemistry between the full spectrum of superheroes and bad guys and gals.


Throughout the film's duration, directors Anthony and Jose Russo dole out a generous dose of witty banter and perfect comic timing. In fact, I don't think I've ever laughed this hard during a movie. Don't get me wrong, though. 

At the same time, there are some surprisingly tense and heart-wrenching moments as well as much deeper personal development of many of the characters we thought we already knew so well.



How about plot twists? Without giving away any spoilers, let's just say come prepared to be shocked. You won't believe what the directors have in store for you this time around. At 2 hours and 40 minutes, this film has the longest run time of any Marvel Cinematic Universe release to date. But, not to worry, you will be kept on the edge of your seat from the opening through closing credits.

All in all, the Avengers: Infinity War is a blast, a fun date night out. A movie full of exciting, non-stop action, cool effects, laughs and drama. This film will surely entertain and appeal both to male and female audience members and will be what the buzz is all about in the coming days and weeks ahead.

You can follow all the excitement and stay up to date on all the happenings about this action film by connecting with Marvel's official website as well as via Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram using the hashtags #InfinityWar and  #ThanosDemandsYourSilence

FTC Disclosure: Marvel Studios hosted Mommy Blog Expert at a special advance screening event prior to the movie's release to facilitate this review.

Big Savings Almost New MacBook Laptops Notebooks at Swappa Peer-to-Peer Marketplace

Technology


MBE partnered with Swappa for this post

If you are an Apple consumer enthusiast to the core like me, you are in like-minded company. You and I both know that unfettered excitement we feel whenever acquiring next-generation beautifully-designed devices. However, as the owner of multiple iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks over recent years, I've learned by experience that it can get prohibitively expensive to keep buying every new Apple product that comes out. What to do?



First, go grab a cup of coffee and make yourself comfortable. Then allow me to share my latest frugal living discovery for those of you who have the same affinity for Apple design and technology as I do. Meet Swappa.com, where you can often save 50 percent and more on previously loved late model Apple smartphones, tablets and laptops.


What is Swappa?


Swappa is a secure peer-to-peer marketplace for buying and selling the most popular newish consumer tech manufactured by popular brands such as Apple, as well as Samsung and others. To qualify as newish, all gently used products sold on Swappa must be fully-functional, almost new condition, and each transaction is held to a higher standard than other marketplaces. Unlike those other buy and sell online communities, the Swappa tech-savvy staff manually reviews each sale's listing to ensure that you receive what you order in the condition you expect.



By purchasing a lightly used recent Apple iPhone, iPad or MacBook directly from another user you can often save half off and more when compared with buying the product new. As a Swappa user, you'll be the new owner of an Apple product with cutting edge design, getting the same quality and performance but without the sticker shock to go along with. 


Some Apple Laptop Savings on Swappa




Paying With PayPal Has Advantages


With prices that low, it's icing on the cake knowing that all purchases are completed through PayPal. So, you receive extensive PayPal protection to ensure you get what you pay for or will be able to easily get a refund if requested. When you find a great deal on Swappa, it is good to know that you don't have to pay the full amount up front, either. As the buyer, you also have the option of smaller, predictable payments if you use PayPal Credit for your Swappa purchase -- and if the full amount is paid back within 6 months -- you can take advantage of not paying any interest on your purchase.




Stay Up to Date on the Latest Tech


Yes, you can keep up with the latest exquisite tech trends without breaking the bank. The Swappa marketplace is your source for a variety of brands of popular phones, tablets, home tech products, and gaming devices. For more details on buying a MacBook through Swappa, check out the Essential Guide to Buying a Used MacBook or check out their full selection of newish MacBooks available.  

Learn more about Swappa and why your family will love buying used MacBooks. You can also stay in the loop about everything the brand is up to by following them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Tully Movie Review Moms Empowerment to Rise Above the Challenges of Motherhood

Movies



MBE partnered with Focus Features for this post

Motherhood is the most challenging job a woman can have. Sometimes, actually, it's so tough it pushes many of us unexpectedly to our limits or even beyond. As the mom of four kids born in a year -- first a singleton, followed by triplets -- I have learned by experience how overwhelming and exhausting being a mommy can be. For sure, there are times when moms like you or I need to look within ourselves to find our own unique way to cope and succeed with the challenges before us. In the simplest of terms, that's the premise of the indie movie Tully from Focus Features, opening in theaters nationwide May 4th.



Charlize Theron stars as Marlo in Jason Reitman's TULLY, a Focus Features release.

As the film unfolds, Marlo, played by Charlize Theron, is the wife of a not particularly involved workaholic, video-game loving daddy (Ron Livingston). Just a few days from delivering the couple's third child, Marlo is already at the point beyond exhaustion which real life mothers and mothers-to-be will relate to. 

When her new baby Mia is born, she feels even more alone and exhausted not only by the daily drudgery of nursing and diapering her newborn, but in also meeting the needs of her other kids: a daughter wiser than her years and a quirky son who has sensory issues.






With this kind of mom juggling act, it's easy to see why Marlo is soon wishing for a simple, less complicated life, before marriage and children, a way to escape the current demands of motherhood.  Sensing a cry for help, her thoughtful brother Craig (Mark Duplass) makes her an offer: to gift her a night nurse so she can recover from sleep deprivation and reclaim her overall happiness as a wife and mother. 

What happens next, and how Marlo ultimately copes with her feelings of being an overworked mom, is what the movie is really all about.




Mackenzie Davis stars as Tully in Jason Reitman's TULLY, a Focus Features release.

Directed by Jason Reitman, the film's fantastic cinematography (including a scene reminiscent of Shape of Water), along with the on-screen chemistry between Theron and Mackenzie Davis (Tully, the young night nanny), artistically captures the good, bad and ugly human emotions we feel as mothers. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if these performances of Theron and/or Davis were rewarded with Oscar nominations.

Trying to be supermoms against all odds, we are not unlike Marlo. We push ourselves to be forever present for our kids, to do everything we can for them, to the point of exhaustion and beyond. To always try to be there when our children need us, no matter how tired we are. The big question is what to do when we've given all we can give. What then?


About Tully
With Jason Reitman (JunoYoung Adult) at the helm as director, Tully debuted at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. The script, written by Producer Diablo Cody, is inspired by her own first-hand struggles and experiences as the mom of three. The comedy/drama stars Charlize Theron as Marlo the haggard mommy of two young kids plus a newborn. Rounding out the headliners in the cast are Mackenzie Davis as Tully, the young night nanny; Mark Duplass as Craig (Marlo's brother); and Ron Livingston as Drew, Marlo's husband. Rated R, 1 hour 36 minutes, from Focus Features.

FTC Disclosure: Focus Features hosted Mommy Blog Expert for a special event and advance screening, as well as press conference, prior to the movie's release to facilitate this review. No payment was received in connection with this post and opinions here are my own.
