See it or Skip?- Mini Reviews

Since Netflix/ Amazon/ On demand websites have a lot of movies that maybe you didn't see in theaters or anything I'm going to write about those. They're basically movies I missed, but maybe you want to watch or something. I don't want to go into great detail or anything, but I'll go into some detail just cause I've seen these movies now and I would like people to know whether or not you should see them or not.

Conception- This is on Netflix, I watched it a few months ago. It was an ensemble comedy with all different plotlines about how babies were conceived. It was clever and a lot of it was funny... but it was just weird. There was a lot of sex and it was just kind of weird. It was basically about people having sex and how/why and what happened after. I don't love ensemble comedies and this one was just a bit weird. I'd say SKIP IT! 

The Puffy Chair- I like Mark Duplass. This was an early film of his that he made with his brother and his (now) wife. (idk if she was his wife yet then... not sure how long ago it was.) Anyhoo it was about them breaking up and stuff... it was kind of sad and very meaningful also. It's NOT A SEE OR SKIP. It's not like it has an amazing plot or its something really memorable... but its good enough to not skip I think. 

Spring Breakers- I was surprised I actually sat through the whole thing of this. It was actually quite entertaining. I thought there would be a lot more violence and action and less sex. There was a lot of sex. Ummm not bad acting. Was thinking it was mostly about Selena Gomez and I thought her part would be more controversial... but she was the good girl. The end I didn't love, but the more I thought about it the more I liked it. It was pretty badass. James Franco was amazing, the rest lacked character development. Definitely Worth Watching. 

Celeste And Jesse Forever- I love Rashida Jones. I love Andy Samberg. I like the idea of this movie. Didn't love the movie, but I don't hate it either. Actually I kind of like it, good acting and a pretty good storyline. It does drag on a bit, but it isn't too bad with that. Also lacks character development... But I'd say Worth Watching. Actually maybe just skip it.... it wasn't horrible but it was kinda boring. Actually I kind of want to watch it again now... I'd still say skip it though!

Fun Sized- Honestly, I could not even finish this one. It was really bad. I thought it looked cute on the trailers... wondered how bad it could be... but it was bad. It just didn't make sense. At the beginning of the movie the girl says she's so excited for Halloween and that everyone in Cleveland loves Halloween because it's Cleaveland and there's nothing to do other than that I guess... clearly this girl has never seen 30 Rock. There were a lot of other elements to the story that just made no sense. It's not exactly for my age group... but I don't think it's really good for any age group. Avoid by all means neccessary! 

Mommy Dearest- Forgot about this one! Didn't catch the end because Rocket Power came on and I wanted to see that... but I really really liked this. It apparently got a bunch of Razzie awards and really bad reviews... but I totally did not get that. I thought it was fantastic. I guess now its seen as a more campy movie and I guess I'm a fan of that... so that might be why. If you like real-life movies and celebrity gossip and stuff like that, you may like this movie. I'd say for sure See it! 

The Bling Ring- I wanted to see this movie a lot when it came out... but it got pretty terrible reviews so I was like "meh I'll wait till its on tv" and I have to say I really liked it. Sophia Coppola did an excellent job. There was no character development but that's just because the characters were all so vapid they had nothing to develop. It was a good movie about celebrity and infamy and it did have a Bonnie-and-Clyde type feel. I'd say definitely See it!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
