Movie Monday: Poms Movie Review

So I think I'll still post more movie posts other than just on Mondays... but I think my Movie Mondays will just be reviews whereas I'll post deeper posts for other movie posts. Movies I've seen before like my Love Actually post and stuff like that.

Anyway onto Poms- I didn't really think that I'd like the movie- but I knew that my mom would like this movie so I recorded it for my mom and I actually ended up watching it with her and I thought it was really cute. It wasn't a great movie or anything- but it's just a sweet story that'll make you smile and laugh.

This is about a woman- played by Diane Keaton who goes to a retirement community "to die" as she says... and we learn in the movie that she has Cancer and she is dying. She hears of some clubs that are in the community and they're all a little snobby for her... so she wants to start a Cheerleading Club for Senior Citizens. She had wanted to be a Cheerleader in High School and then she had to d5rop out because her mom was sick with cancer. Diane Keaton's character ends up getting a group of women together... and they end up getting a High School Cheerleader to coach them... and it's really fun and cute.

The movie is very fun and heartfelt. It's the type of movie that will make you laugh and cry... but overall I think it's hard to see this and not smile.

It isn't a fantastic movie really... the jokes are funny but it's similar to other movies like it. There are like 2 montage scenes back to back which I don't really like... but still I feel like it would be very cynical of me to give it a bad review because overall it was just a cute movie that I really enjoyed.

This movie had a great cast too... obviously Diane Keaton was in it but also Rhea Pearlman, Pam Grier, Jessica from 13 Reasons Why. It was a good cast and Rhea Pearlman in particular was really funny.

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...

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
