Marvel Monday: Iron Man 3 Review

Okay! So as much as I love Marvel now... the whole reason that I never really got into the Marvel Movies was because I did not like the first Iron Man. I don't know what it was... I just could not get into it. I've basically been trying to watch the movie since it came out... not my thing. I don't dislike Iron Man as a character- I actually think he's the perfect character to anchor the MCU... and I love his foil with Captain America- I actually think this movie showed their differences perfectly even though Captain America wasn't even in it. I just loved a lot about the movie and I'm excited to tell you guys how I liked it. 

First... let me talk about why I like the dynamic of Iron Man vs. Captain America. Tony Stark is a wealthy man that basically made his money developing weapons- and I'm not a huge expert on this subject matter- but there is a big ethical issues with that... and Captain America is a soldier. He's fought in wars and seen what weapons can do... so just who their characters are in general make for a really cool dynamic between the characters. Plus it kind of makes for a different genre change. Captain America movies are pretty much Marvel's version of War Movies and they're focused on the characters usually... and Iron Man kind of focuses more on technology and weapons. This movie of everything that I've seen so far kind of showed the differences the best... and I can see how it ends up connecting a little better with Age of Ultron and Civil War. 

The villain in this movie- I loved. I don't typically get scared watching horror movies- but Batman villains always scare me and creep me out. I'm more into psychological horror... and I think Batman villains are a little more psychological. The villain in this reminded me of a batman villain because of that. We even got to see his origins a little bit too... it was really cool! I just like the way that he was introduced to us and his powers were pretty cool too! 

Ben Kingsley was also great in this movie. His cameo wasn't all that big- but still! I thought he was really great in this and I kind of needed to mention him. My mom was pretty excited to see him in here- and I agree! He was really good and added a little bit of a twist to this movie... which had a lot of great twists to begin with! 

Overall... this was a really fun movie! I feel like I can kind of rank the movies I've seen right now... so let me tell you what I've seen and then I'll let you know what I like best.

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...

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...
