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.

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips. Find an App That Works For You I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad. So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
