Movie Monday: Kazam

Guys... Kazam> Space Jam... honestly... I don't know why this movie isn't as loved as it should be... it's actually a fun movie that I was happy to just sit down and enjoy. 

So I found out that this was considered a bad movie a few years ago when it was featured on the podcast How Did This Get Made... and I was like "What? This wasn't a bad movie at all. Why is it on this podcast." And then I heard them review it and I was like "maybe this was a bad movie." But I still stood by it... when the movie Shazam came out- I thought it was a remake of Kazam... which it wasn't- but that was still a good movie too... but not the same as Kazam. And I actually remember seeing this movie in theaters as a kid. I got really nostalgic when Kazam and Max sang "We ain't men, We Genie." And that was the first time I remember hearing "We Genie" instead of "we're genie"... it was kind of funny. 

So nostalgia aside- I didn't actually remember very much of the movie itself- so I feel like I was only slightly biased on that front because I did hear it was a bad movie and... I said to my boyfriend "Watch me be wrong and this movie is actually bad." But no. It wasn't... it was actually a really fun movie with a pretty sweet story about a kid trying to accept his parents divorce and his new stepdad. His dad has a weird shady piracy business that didn't make much sense... but I think he did want to be a better for his kid and... Max really loved him and I think that meant something to him. So... it was pretty sweet. 

Alright- as weird as this movie is... it is on Disney Plus now and it's a good movie that wouldn't have worked with any actor other than Shaquille O'neil and it wouldn't have worked any other time than the 90s... It's just a good one if you don't want to fully invest in a movie but you wouldn't mind if you found yourself actually caring about the movie and getting invested in the characters. 

Bye!

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 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...

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...
