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!

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...
