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.

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...
