Shan Reviews Movie Trailers

Sooo I'm sick right now and I want to watch movie trailers... soooo... thats what is going to happen right now.

1) The Fault in Our Stars- This is based on a book that I'm not sure I wanted to read... but I watched the trailer and it looks cute. I'm not that into love stories, and this one looks super sad. I'm sure the book is great and that the movie will be great as well. It doesn't look like a sappy-overly tragic love story. It actually looks like a love story that happens to have tragedy in it. I feel like Nicholas Sparks and romance movies like Remember Me exploit tragic events in order to create feels for people that really aren't there. This doesn't look like that. I think I may want to ease my way into John Green before reading this though, he looks like he has a lot of great books that I'd like to read other than this.

2) The Maze Runner- This one I actually did read and I'm super excited about. Out of all the dystopian societies, this one looks the most fun and adventurous. This looks really good. It's almost exactly how I pictured this when I was reading the book. The only thing different is that I pictured Theresa as a pretty girl with blonde curly hair and they got a pretty brunette with curly hair. I don't know that they ever described Theresa as blonde with curly hair, but that's how I pictured Anabeth in Percy Jackson, so that's how I picture girls that are the only girl among a bunch of boys.

This looks good. I definitely want to see this!

3) Jupiter Ascending- I have no clue what this movie is about. I still don't know after watching the trailer. Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis are sooo pretty though that I sort of want to see it... but it also looks like it could be as bad as Battlefield Earth. Maybe not though.... Meh I'll netflix it if its on netflix. If not, it isn't meant to be.

4) Cavemen- I thought this movie might be something good... but this has been done sooooo many times before that I'm sick of it! A guy has a female best friend... and then realizes wait... I have a female best friend, I should be with her right? But then his male best friend gets together with her and its all sad... and the name cavemen just makes it all that much worse. I'm sick of these overly male comedies that are like this. Ick. I'll pass.

5) Mom's Night Out- I chose to watch this movie because I wanted to review something that I actually would want to see... but the trailer for this looks just as bad as cavemen! Basically every chick movie stereotype is in this movie and it does not work one bit! This has also been done before... AND HOW MANY MOVIES ARE THERE WERE SOMEONE LOSES ONE OF THEIR KIDS/BABIES! Seriously Hollywood, I don't have a baby and I don't want one any time in the near future... but it can't be that goddamn hard to keep track of your damn kid! We don't need 50 COMEDIES about missing children. I'd like to think parents are just slightly better than that.

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
