Knives Out Movie Review

This movie I really wanted to see in theaters, but I never really had time to go see it... so I was of corse very excited to get it on Blu Ray the second it came out... and I of corse watched it right away!

This movie centers around a wealthy family who's patriarch Harlan Thromby suddenly dies of a suicide and a Private Investigator named Benoit Blanc (played by Daniel Craig) interrogates the family members. The family members themselves are very interesting- totally a great cast!- and they each kind of have a motive for killing Harlan. Toni Colette plays his daughter in law that's been stealing money from him, Don Johnson plays Harlan's son in law that's been cheating on his daughter- Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon I believe they say wants the movie rights to Thromby's books, Chris Evan's character Ransom just got in a big fight with Harlan and was told he was cut out of the will... as was the rest of the family. He said that he was leaving all of his money to his nurse, Marta... who was probably the only person that cared about him and not about his money.

There were a lot of great little details in this movie and they were all fully utilized in the conclusion of the movie. Every throwaway line had more significance and it all made sense when we find out what's going on in the movie. One of my favorite running jokes is that whenever the family brings up Marta, they say that her family is from a different country... so they don't really know anything about her at all. They also each state "I wanted you at the funeral, but I was outvoted." Which can't be true because then they wouldn't be outvoted... It just really showed that the family didn't really care about her and didn't think much about her I guess at all.

I can't really say anything more about this movie without spoiling it and I definitely don't want to spoil it... I think everyone should watch it for sure. Maybe I'll do a second post on different easter eggs or clues in the movie and I'll give a more spoiler look at it... but for now that is everything! Definitely check this movie out if you're looking for some good movies to rent or buy right now. It's amazing. 5 out of 5 stars!

Bye!

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...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
