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!

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...
