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.

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 Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
