Scribbles About TV: Uncle Buck Review

I was pretty excited about the Uncle Buck Tv Show. All the previews made it look really funny and different and it just looked like it was well cast and funny. Mike Epps looked really funny on the previews. I love Nia Long! Just seemed like a good show!

And I really enjoyed it! I thought the first episode was good... but it wasn't my favorite. I think the girl scout episode was where it really shined... but we'll get to that. Lol.

So I've never seen the movie Uncle Buck, but according to my mom the pilot was pretty true to the movie... which is cool! There are so many tv shows based on movies that just don't work because they don't stay true to the movie... but this one stayed pretty true, so that's really good! And its a different spin because obviously John Candy was the original Uncle Buck, he's a white man and its about a white family and this version has a black family. And its also set in a more modern time... so there are different problems then they would have in the original Uncle Buck. A big part of the Pilot had to do with sending a boy she liked a picture with her top down a little bit... and thats a problem that didn't really happen until the last 10 years or so... so its pretty modern!

I think I just like any tv show or movie about girl scout cookies... because the second episode is what I thought was really funny. I'm excited that this is on during the summer because really nothing else is on and all the shows this year look really good! And summers can be hard. Its nice out and everyone is happy... but there are lots of problems in the world right now. There's a lot of sad stuff on the news and sometimes, you just need a good laugh even if its just for a half hour. This was on the Tuesday after the tragedy in Florida and there wasn't anything else that was really uplifting on TV this week... this is just one you could sit down and watch or you could have on in the background and just do whatever and you'll laugh and be happy. Its the type of show I think I needed to see this week and I was really impressed by it.

My parents both liked it also... so its something you can watch with your parents and you'll all like it just the same. And I love those types of shows!

I highly recommend watching this! It's on a little later tonight... so check it out!

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
