Trailer Reviews: Horns, A Merry Friggin Christmas and more

1)A Merry Friggin Christmas- This is a movie that is going to make everyone sad because it stars Robin Williams, and I believe it is his final film role. This is really sad because its hard to ignore the tragedy of it all. Williams looks like he's playing a really funny role, his chemistry with Joel McHale looks on point, this looks like a Meet the Parents type of amazing movie... but its hard to think of this as such a great, feel-good, funny movie when we all know Williams was in a lot of pain whilst filming it. I think it looks good and I'll see it, but its just very real and soon right now.

2) Horns- This movie looks pretty awesome. I kind of want to read the book too. A man is accused of killing his girlfriend and he states that the devil should punish the real killer of his girlfriend... and then he grows horns. It also seems like a crazy small town where they jump to conclusions really quickly and that makes him look more guilty. Its got a gone girl vibe but with a bit of fantasy mixed in. I dig that. Totally want to read the book and see the movie.

3) The Woman In Black: Angel Of Death- I remember wanting to see The Woman In Black but I never actually did. I think it was on the other night and I wanted to watch it but it was in the middle and I'm not going to watch a movie from the middle! I'm not insane! So yeah I have to check this out. It was just a teaser, but it was a scary teaser.

4) Premature- I think this is an indie film, maybe its been out already... not really sure. One of the stars in it is an actress that I think will be the next big thing: Katie Findlay from The Carrie Diaries and How To Get Away With Murder. That makes me want to watch it... but I'm not sold on the concept. It's groundhog day about a guy that gets a little too happy too quick if you get what I mean. I'm not into the whole "every day is the same" thing in movies. I did like that episode of The X Files where every day was the same, but that wasn't the length of a movie. I want to see this movie just for Katie Findlay though. And it does look funny, but again repetitive.

5) Birdman- This looks both epic and stupid. I love that its Michael Keaton, I think the actual Bird Man costume is quite beautiful and the cast looks really really good. Emma Stone, Amy Ryan. I'm not 100 percent sold on the whole thing, it looks like a good movie if you're into that type of thing. It isn't really what I'm into... so yeah.

6) The Scarehouse- This looks offensive to women. I'm out. Ummm basically its if Jawbreaker were a torture porn. It's sick and I don't like the looks of it. Clever concept but this is a whole new way of demeaning women. Feminists were upset about Gone Girl, but there are movies like this... ughh.

It also kind of reminds me of the movie Jenna Maronie made on 30 Rock in Connecticut.

7) Hit By Lightening- This is a Jon Cryer movie that has nothing to do with getting hit by lightening. It looks horrible, but not the worst at the same time... Its probably better than Two and A Half Men... which actually isn't all that bad either. So yeah... if its on Netflix I think I'll actually make a point to watch it. I wouldn't pay for this though.

8) Home Sweet Hell- This is the same plot as Hit By Lightening almost. I didn't actually say what that was about. In Hit By Lightening Jon Cryer plays a man that is signing up for an online dating website and he finds this beautiful woman... but she's married and she says Jon Cryer has to kill her husband. So he tries to.

And then in Home Sweet Hell Some dude who is astonishingly less famous than Jon Cryer plays a man that is married to Katherine Heigl. And she's a cold bitch and so he has an affair with a girl that Heigl gets him to kill. Why are there so many crazy women in comedies? Can we not? These are all slightly misogynistic. Can we stop now? Thanks.

9) Inside Out- Alright a Pixar teaser after all that other bullshit. And it looks really good. The teaser showed all their other movies and made you get the warm fuzzies and then it showed the teaser which showed just how you got those warm fuzzies to begin with! As much as I like animated movies, now that I'm old I hardly ever see them unless they're adorable. Like I think it would be weird for me to see The Boxtrolls or that Jack Frost one... but I loved Wreck it Ralph and Despicable me obviously. Pixar movies I pretty much always see. Except Cars 2, I've seen all of them.

10) Life Partners- This one I'm sure will be on Netflix and I'll definitely see it. It stars Gillian Jacobs from Community along with Leighton Meester and her adorable hubby Adam Brody. Jacobs and Meester are BFFs, Meester is a lesbian and Jacobs is straight. Gillian Jacobs gets engaged to Adam Brody and Leighton Meester gets all jealous and she doesn't like him and stuff. It looks cute and I feel like I'll be able to relate to the characters a lot. I would actually consider buying this movie even. It looks good.

So that is it. I try to do the popular trailers that I see from Facebook News and stuff and then some indie movies that I've never heard of and probably won't watch unless they become free online somewhere... but I like informing everyone.

Byeeee!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
