Movie Monday: Parasite

 Okay... So I've been wanting to see this movie for months and my boyfriend has been wanting for me to see it for months and it is... worth the hype for sure. I absolutely loved it- one of the best movies I've ever seen. 

And... I feel like it's a movie worth owning or paying money to see because honestly it felt like I was watching 2 or 3 different movies in one. It all flowed together really well and... I really don't know what I was expecting with this movie. I thought it was going to be a really scary movie about a parasite that infected a family... It is but not on that base level... it's very deep and it's very satirical. There are moments where I laugh and moments I could relate to... It was honestly very well done. 

Sooo... I'm not quite sure how to describe this movie without spoiling it because... in the middle of the movie- there's a big plot twist... and I just made sure it wasn't in the trailer before I talked about it because IT IS SO HARD TO TALK ABOUT WITHOUT MENTIONING THAT but... I want to do a spoiler free version of this as a review... and then maybe next monday I'll watch the movie again and do a spoiler free breakdown of every little detail in the movie... but man... this is a great movie. 

Anyway it shows this one poor family that are trying to make some money by folding pizza boxes... which is honestly a hard job- and they didn't make a lot of money from that to begin with and because there were some errors in the boxes- they paid them even less. So they were looking for a new job and the son's friend came in and asked him to take over tutoring for a rich family. And the son- doesn't have any qualifications... but these people are very gullible... so they fall for his fake degree and hire him. 

And then... he realizes they could use a teacher for their son too- so he gets his sister a job there too- but again they don't know she's his sister- they think she's his friend's cousin or something and she convinces the (very rich) lady of the house that she's a teacher and that her son really needs her because he's schitzophrenic or something and she hires her. Then she gets the driver fired and convinces the family to hire her father... and then they all get the housekeeper fired... very elaborately... and then his wife gets hired as the housekeeper. 

So this family has conned their way into all this stuff and their working for the family. And... something happens that kind of changes it to a horror satire and then at the end things get really crazy. And in the end... I'd say its satisfying. And yes the poor family is taking advantage of the rich family... but the rich family is very ignorant to anything that goes on in the real world... so they should kind of treated people better and cared about people more than they care about things. 

And... there was a sad part of the ending too where you think there's some hope at the end but... there probably is not. And... that's really sad and... yeah. I'll talk more about that in my next post about this movie... but it was kind of a sad moment. 

Bye!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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...
