Marvel Monday: Spider Man Homecoming Review

Okay so I've been trying to watch this movie for several weeks... and it isn't that I haven't been loving it... it's mostly that I start watching it at 1am or something and then I get too sleepy to finish it.

I feel like there are sooooo many Spider Man movies and I feel like my biggest problem with the first Amazing Spider Man movie was that it was similar to the first of the Toby Maguire's Spider Man movies. This one is good because they don't really go into anything that they do in any of the other spider man movies... You know that he was bit by a spider- you get the feeling that something maybe happened to his uncle... you get pretty much the full story without having to sit through the same thing for a third time... which is good. It gets right into the story and the action.

I feel like the action is pretty well paced alongside setting up the actual story of who Peter Parker is outside of Spider Man and what makes him who he really is. It sets up the high school really well- there are good callbacks to Captain America: Civil War... some references to the fact that he hasn't met Thor or The Hulk yet- which I think is kind of setting up Thor: Ragnarock a little. I just thought that that was cool.

I also like how the Marvel movies can change genres... and I think this movie is a good example of that. It's like a regular high school movie... but with a super hero and crazy weapons. And it's kind of cool that it shows us this is what High School is like in a world where there are Avengers. It's actually pretty cool.

I think my favorite part of the whole movie is when the lady buys him the churro and he tells Happy and then he says "I shouldn't have told him about the lady with the churro... and then Iron man brings it up... it's just super funny and it shows how young he is and how much he kind of values his city and all of the people in it. And I love when he's stuck in that one building and he talks to "Karen" the computer in his suit. It's just really funny and it just makes it so fun.

So is Tom Holland the best Spider Man... I'm not sure. I think Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield are really good too... but I'm kind of happy Tom Holland is our current Spider Man. I think he's really energetic and fun and I just think he's done a great job with it. Everyone involved in this Spider Man Movie definitely made it feel like its own thing and it definitely stands out with all the spider man movies and is a good way to introduce Spider Man to the MCU!

So that is my review of Spider Man Homecoming... This might be one of my actual favorites! I thought this was super fun!

Bye!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...
