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!

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...

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
