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!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

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
