Scribbles about movies: Keanu Review

So I saw Keanu yesterday... and its one of the most clever and funny movies I've ever seen. Probably a favorite of mine... I love it.

I've never seen a full episode of Key and Peele. I don't know too much about their sketches or anything... but there were some billboards and little things in the background of the movie that I'm pretty sure were jokes from Key and Peele sketches... not 100% sure... but they were funny either way and I'm thinking they have some significance. And really... they work so well together. Its just fun to watch them together because they have great chemistry and they're so fun.

And the concept for the movie was brilliant... if you're a writer or a film nerd... you've probably heard the concept of Saving The Cat. You want your hero to "save the cat" in every film to make them more likable. In Gone Girl, Ben Affleck has a cat that he saves... doesn't make him more likable... but he also didn't kill his wife. Lol. This entire movie is based off the concept of saving the cat! I think that is so brilliant and clever! I am jealous of Key and Peele for coming up with this idea! Its so funny that they have this extreme.

And if you haven't heard about Keanu, cause it is an independent movie I guess... you should know. Jordan Peele plays a guy that just broke up with his girlfriend and he finds an adorable kitten and he shows his cousin, played by Keegan Michael Key and then... the cat gets stolen by a gang... so Key and Peele essentially have to join a gang to save the cat!

And neither one of them are very gangster. Key's character loves George Michael... they're gang names are Techtonic and Shark Tank... and its just really funny! It was great to see these characters getting into the situations for an adorable kitten... named Keanu.

So yeah... that was a fun movie. I highly recommend it. If you like comedies and you're kind of a film nerd... I think you'll love it. Its a great, funny movie and I really really like it!

Byeee!

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...

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...
