Scribbles About Movies: Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them

Alright last day before Blogmas! This is exciting! I don't have much ready for Blogmas on this blog yet, not even going to lie. Lol.

Anyway... Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them!

I wasn't really expecting this movie to be amazing. I kind of had a low bar set because even though it is in the same world as Harry Potter, and its fun to go back to the Wizarding World... but its not Harry Potter. It wouldn't be the same, it wouldn't feel the same... its not the same. 5 movies is going to be too much, it just won't be as good.

And I was SOOOOOOO happy that I was proven wrong! This feels more like Harry Potter to me than a lot of the Harry Potter movies. And I think thats because JK Rowling actually wrote the screenplay for this movie and she's writing/ has written the screenplays for the other movies as well! So that gives me high hopes for the future of these movies.

There is also nothing to compare the movie to. The book didn't really have a plot... so the only movie or book I think you could even kind of find comparisons too was The Deathly Hallows... but that's a whole other thing. Grindelwald is the connection between the two movies.

As much as I love Hogwarts... I loved that this wasn't at Hogwarts! I like that it was just in New York and it was in the past because that's just kind of cool. We haven't seen too much of the Wizard World outside of Hogwarts, and it was just fun to see how it worked in America and in the real world.

I liked the characters a lot too... both human and beast. I thought they all had interesting relationships to each other and they were pretty well developed. I would talk a little bit more about them... but I almost spoiled... a lot... so I won't... but I'm hoping everyone returns for the sequel and that they have more adventures.

I liked that Newt was a Hufflepuff... you could kind of see it in how he acted to... its weird how different all the people in all the different houses are, but we haven't seen to many Hufflepuffs in action... and that was pretty cool.

I liked that the end wasn't totally resolved either... there's a lot that could happen in the sequels! I'm excited for them already!

I definitely recommend seeing this! It was a great movie I give it an A++ I think its my favorite Harry Potter movie so far... it is just really really good! See it in theaters too, it was amazing!

Byeee!

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...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
