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 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
