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!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
