Scribbles about Movies: Trailer Reviews- Reboot/Sequel Edition

1) Star Wars: The Force Awakens- This looks awesome. A lot of people are analyzing this trailer... I'm not quite sure. There was actually a lot of new info for a teaser trailer.

2) Jurassic World- I kind of want to see this movie...but the trailer looks terrible! Idk it just looks stupid. Beautiful but like "well that's dumb." It looks slightly magical... but its not a 90s movie. There is something about a 90s and early 2000s movie that... you can't replicate today. Its magical and mystical and filled with technology that is amazing for the time... this just looks like a run of the mill action movie. Nothing special. Another dumb reboot we didn't need. Just mehhh.

3) Minions- I think this looks amazing. Now I may be biased because I love the Minions... but put the minion factor of it all aside... this is such a creative and different movie. I love the concept. It isn't a sequel or remake. Its an origin story of the Minions and how they came into existence. They're ancient creatures that have been around as long as the dinosaurs and their purpose in life is to find a villain and assist that villain. How creative is that???? They came up with that concept just from something that was originally supposed to be a henchman. I'm so impressed and excited for this movie! Also they play David Bowie in the trailer!

4) Pitch Perfect 2- This looks... both good and problematic. Its funny, it has everything we've loved about the original... but thats kind of the problem. Its a little too similar to the original. In the first movie no all female team had won the championship, in this one no American team has ever won... kinda the same. Adam Devine hits on Rebel Wilson... kinda the same. Its not a shot for shot remake like The Hangover 2, so this could be okay... but it could be bad. I don't think it will be bad, but it might not be something I can watch over and over again.

5) Pan- Again... this could have benefited from the 90s movie thing I mentioned... which would have made it Hook, which is an excellent movie. Anyway yeah umm this looks weird. I really like Peter Pan, but this is really dark. The cast is good. Garret Hedlund, Rooney Mara, Hugh Jackman, thats cool but its so so dark. Idk I'm a little over the "Dark Fairy Tale" trend. I like Once Upon a Time and I'll definitely see Into The Woods... but idk. May have run its corse, not sure how I feel. I may get more excited when it actually comes out... but I feel over it right now.

6) The Avengers Age of Ultron- I really liked the Avengers and I'm slightly SLIGHTLY more into Marvel because of Guardians of the Galaxy. But again... this could benefit from the 90s feel that the first movie did actually have. The villain looks scary and cool though, I'm a little into it. Idk its not quite as dark as every run of the mill action movie, so there's that.

7) The Spongebob Movie: Sponge out of Water- This looks creepy... on so many levels. CGI= Creepy. Having Patrick look like he's oggling some girl while he's really admiring her ice cream cone= creepy. Giant versions of the Spongebob gang including a shirtless Patrick? Creepy! Its also been established many times in the show that Spongebob and his underwater friends cannot survive above water... so the whole concept of this movie makes no sense with the Spongebob I know and love.

Okay, I'm done with these remakes, reboots, sequels, spinoffs and re-imaginings. I'm not saying they were bad, I'd actually see pretty much all of these movies except Spongebob. I'm really excited for Minions.

Byeee!

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
