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!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
