Scribbles About Movies: Mini Movie Reviews: Mermaids, The Good Dinosaur, Pitch Perfect 2+ More

Alright some new movies I've been watching... here's what I think of them!

Pitch Perfect 2 
I thought this was funny. I don't know if I liked it as much as the first one or more... in some ways I kinda liked it more. I thought the thing with Fat Amy and Bumper was really funny and cute. I like them both, lots of good songs in both. I liked the new characters in this one and overall I just thought it was a really funny sequel. I was happy when they won, I liked seeing them battle it out... it was cool!

Mermaids 
I thought this was a movie about actual mermaids... but it wasn't.... still not disappointing at all! I really loved it! I thought Winona Rider and Christina Ricci were really good in it. I really liked the story. Cher played the mother and she was a single mom that dated a lot... and Winona Rider wanted to be a Nun but then she saw a boy she liked and its just about her growing up and I thought it was the most well done movie of its kind really. There are so many movies that do that wrong... this movie was perfect. I think I had a couple of complaints... I liked the beginning of the movie more than the end, the end was kinda sad. And they don't state the resolution of the sad part that easily. If you weren't really watching you might have thought something else happened. Otherwise AMAZING movie.

Smosh: The Movie 
I love Michael Ian Black... I even love Smosh... this was not a good movie. It was watchable... I ended up watching the whole thing... but it was pretty bad. Not the worst movie ever... but its probably the most stupid. It wasn't even all that entertaining or funny... it was just a really long Smosh video and idk if I'd recommend that to anyone.

The Good Dinosaur 
This movie was sad and there  were scary moments... but I really liked it. I watched it with my Mom, sister and my dog and watching it with my dog was really funny. He can see the TV and he was running up to it and he was barking and just so fascinated. I thought it was really cute and a good one to watch! I love Pixar, I think I'll do another list of Pixar movies soon because I love Pixar... I think I like Pixar better than Disney... but this is a good one. Not on the top of the list... further on the list than Finding Dory... lol.

Sisters 
This was a really funny movie! Probably one of the funniest movies I've seen in a while! I thought the plot was a little loose, but overall it was just really funny and really good! Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are so good together! Just a good movie! I recommend watching it! I could probably watch this 50 more times and not get tired of it!

Zootopia 
This is a pretty deep kids movie with a pretty positive message. I missed it in theaters and I didn't know too much about it otherwise... I thought there would be a deep message because 1) Every Buzzfeed article 2) Its like Bojack Horseman or The Muppets. They use characters that aren't human so that you can see very real human emotions and problems. Its an interesting "mirror" of sorts kind of. I thought it was really good and had a good message without deterring from the storyline or "Disney" factor of it all.

Alright! That is everything! I really loved all of these movies... except Smosh. I was going to choose a favorite... but that would actually be really,really hard. I really liked The Good Dinosaur... maybe that's my favorite. But Zootopia, Sisters and Mermaids were all good too. And Pitch Perfect was such a good sequel! Overall... good round of movies, would recommend most of them... and I just really liked watching them all!

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...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
