Trailer Reviews: New Gone Girl Trailer and more!

So I did one of these last week, but there is a new gone girl trailer that I just watched and I figured I'd watch some more stuff.

1) Gone Girl- This is the movie where Ben Affleck's wife goes missing and he seems suspicious, yet insists he didn't do it. It's based off of a book that I want to read because I'm interested in the story... but lets face it. Ben Affleck, Tyler Perry... doesn't sound like a great movie to me so far lol. Also books about murder don't translate that well on screen I don't really think. I kind of liked The Lovely Bones movie, but it wasn't fantastic or anything I would have really wanted to pay to see... I don't know. The teaser was super weird and arty, it was just clips of the movie that were rather disturbing and a song playing in the backround... its weird. This one had more of the story, but it still didn't really tell us anything. It makes Ben Affleck look super guilty and on one hand that would be super obvious but also meh... who knows. The trailer and the new posters have convinced me to read the book, but I'm still uncertain about the movie.

2) What if- Daniel Radcliff meets the right girl its a fairy tale everything is perfect but wait she has a boyfriend! So you're supposed to pay $12 and sit for 2 hours to see if men and women can really be friends without falling in love or sex getting in the way of it? Yeah no. Sorry Harry Potter. NEXT!

3) Life After Beth- Guy falls in love with girl, played by Audrey Plaza, girl dies. Guy is sad, but then girl comes back to life, guy is happy and ohhh yeah now she's a zombie... so he's trying to figure that out again. Yep. This sounds awesome, totally seeing it, worth my $12! Good job!

4) About Alex- This one looks the same as every movie I reviewed last week only more depressing kind of. Alex tries to commit suicide and then all of his friends including Audrey Plaza yet again come to visit with him and then everyone else tries to hook up with each other. I'm half in but not really.

5) Alexander and the terrible, horrible no good very bad day- This is one of my favorite children's books and I heard that they were making it a movie and Steve Carell was going to be in it, but I didn't know how it could be a movie. This actually looks really cute and even though its clearly not for my age group, I kind of want to see it because it seems like a heartwarming family tale. Donald Glover is in it too, so there's that. Idk, if you have kids this movie looks really cute and something you guys can enjoy together.

6) Cinderella- This was a teaser trailer... if that even. Basically it just showed a glass slipper and a butterfly and said it would be out in March 2015 and it's Disney. I'm guessing the butterfly is the fairy godmother... but idk what the movie will be like or who cinderella is or literally anything from this teaser aside from that it is a thing that will be happening in the not so distant future. I'd probably see it just because I liked Maleficent soooo much.

7) Frank- I wanted to do something besides an independent movie... but I had to do this one! It's about a musician who won't take off this ridiculous mask he has on. Frank is played by Michael Fassbender, who is an incredibly attractive man that has shown his penis at some point during his career... right? It wasn't like for a movie or anything it was for him being a crazy person I think, idk never saw it just heard about it on The Mindy Project lol. Anyway I think that he's a super good looking guy that could absolutely be the next Brad Pitt or on par with Channing Tatum or something, but he chooses roles that don't highlight his good looks and I think that's brave. He's a real actor and he tries to not rely on his looks. So this could be good. It looks pretty bad, but interesting... lol.

8) And So It Goes- My version of the trailer: Michael Douglas is a horrible man, unlikeable probably sexist and has no friends. But for some reason Diane Keaton Falls in love with him anyway. In a movie that is just like every other movie she is in and has a super generic title that no one will remember, so you'll just refer to it as "that movie where old people have sex." Because old people having sex is super funny and not weird or gross at all... that's what I got from the trailer. Yep. Spot on... umm its also filled with jokes that aren't funny and make no sense, Michael Douglas using a paintball gun on a dog, and it reminds us that these people used to be real actors and they both have Oscars. Looks horrible, don't see it. 1) we really don't need another one of these movies 2) this is one of those "sexism is HILARIOUS" type of movies that I think are really hurting our society as a whole... also racism is in there too. It just looks god awful and these are the types of movies they play in hell. lol.

Alrighty... I can't do this anymore. Too many indy movies, nothing that looks good, wanted to get it to an even 10 but this is just terrible. Tomorrow I will have a review up on a movie that is out now and that is better than all these other movies, so you have that to look forward too.

Byeee!

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...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
