Scribbles About Movies: The Incredibles 2 *spoilers*

Alright! I know I'm reviewing this a little late... but I don't get to see many movies- so I finally got to see this and I absolutely LOVED it!

First off... Jack Jack... very accurate representation of what a 1 year old is like. I babysit a 1 year old... it's exactly the same as the way they showed watching Jack Jack. It was so funny how exhausted and proud Bob was when he was watching him alone... it was so cute to see how proud everyone was of Jack Jack... his powers are the absolute coolest from any superhero ever... it was just really cool in general. So funny. I don't live anywhere near Disneyland and I probably won't get to go there for a long time, but this makes me kind of excited about Pixar Pier and how they have the Incredicoaster to go along with the movie... and Jack Jack's Num Num Cookies... those just look super yummy and I really want to try one. And I don't know if I could really stomach the Incredicoaster and I'm terrified of upside down coasters... but I think if I ever go there I need to try it just to see!

Also... I loved seeing Edna babysit him. The Incredibles has never been one of my favorite Pixar movies... but Edna's been one of my favorite characters forever... so I'm always excited to see Edna. Especially since she didn't design Helen's new supersuit. That was pretty funny!

Now let's get to Elasticgirl being the big hero of this movie...

Elasticgirl is another great character from the first movie. She's a strong, independent woman. She's more than just  a "mom" or "Mrs. Incredible"... not that anyone said that, but she really always uses her strengths to be the best Mom she can be and to help her family... and in this one we actually get to see her using her powers to help save a city! WHICH IS REALLY COOL! Okay... I may have accidentally hit the caps there... but still! I just really liked how she was always on top of what was going on, she always had a plan and even when everything seemed "solved" she was able to figure out who the real villain was. It was really cool to see, she's a great female influence. I love when movies have very strong mom characters... because sometimes I think Mom's aren't given enough credit for their strengths... and this movie definitely did give them a lot of credit.

They also show other strong female characters including Violet, Void, Edna of corse... and Evelyn Deavor... who if you can't guess by the name... is the villain of the movie! While I didn't think this was a shocking reveal... it was still a really good one that played out well and you could tell that there was a twist there.

And I always think any sort of hypnosis is really scary for a villain. The strobing effect in the movie also added a really creepy ambiance to all of it- which of corse there is a warning about. I think the Hypnosis thing scares me because for whatever reason that seems like the most "real" thing a villain could do and I think it could also obviously create a lot of damage... and I don't want anyone in my thoughts!  I really liked how they did that.

Also... frozone... another super underrated character that I thought was really great in this. I would like to see a Frozone movie too... I think that could be "cool." Hahahahaha get it! Cool! Because he's frozone!

So yes... I think I need to rank my Pixar Movies again... so I'm going to kind of do that now. I haven't seen Cars 2 or 3. This list sort of changes often... so keep that in mind. I recently watched The Toy Story movies... and that's kind of changed on my list.

18. Brave
17. Cars
16. The Good Dinosaur
15. A Bug's Life
14. Monster's University
13. The Incredibles
12. Finding Dory
11. Ratatouille
10. Incredibles 2
9. Wall E
8. Finding Nemo
7. Up
6. Toy Story
5. Toy Story 2
4. Toy Story 3
3. Coco
2. Inside Out
1. Monster's Inc

And... I think I can stand by this for now. I'm surprised its in the top 10 for me because I do really love Pixar and I just never really loved The Incredibles... but I think maybe this just came out at the right time for me because of Jack Jack. All these movies seem to come out at the right time though... So- that makes sense!

Anyway I hope you like this review or found it helpful and 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...
