Movie Monday: 10 Movies+ Mini Reviews

 This is random because I want to do a Movie Monday... but I haven't watched any movies lately... so I'm just going to chose 10 Random Movies that I might not have seen in a while and... give them a little mini review... Based on basically nothing. 

1) Teen Titans Go To The Movies(2018) - I saw this about a year ago I think... I liked it. It was cute and funny. I was never really into Teen Titans or Teen Titans go... but Teen Titans Go To The Movies was really good! It was funny, had a nice story and a Stan  Lee Cameo- which ended up being one of his last. It was just good- I'd totally recommend checking it out! 

2) The Heat (2013) -  I really liked this movie at the time I saw it. I actually saw it twice in theaters. I own the DVD or Blu Ray now- but still haven't watched it since it was in theaters. Very funny... but sometimes if I see a movie more than once in theaters- I'm okay with never seeing it again in real life. It's weird... but I still kind of liked it. 

3) Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog (2008)- So I really loved this movie when I first saw it. It's funny, its sad and the music is really good. Plus it's just short and easy to watch. Now I've heard some... Horrible... things about Joss Whedon- who directed this movie and I'm a little iffy about watching it again... but it's still kind of brilliant and I think you can watch it on youtube still for free. The singing is really good at least and you'll get a laugh out of it. 

4) Inception (2010)- This movie was okay... I don't really get the hype of it or the big "twist ending" that people are debating about. It's not my favorite movie but... idk I feel like I should watch it again. I really like Ellen Page and I feel like she just fits in this movie. 

5) Welcome to Marwin (2018)- No. Don't watch this movie. It's so disappointing and bad. 

6) Bolt (2008) -Disney was going through a weird time when this movie came out and... I feel like it isn't the best because of that. I don't really think John Travolta is a great voice actor... same with Miley Cyrus... idk it just wasn't my favorite Disney Movie... but it is still pretty good. I'd recommend checking it out again at least in the backround while you're doing something else if you can. It's not terrible. 

7) The Royal Tennenbaums (2001)- Wes Anderson is someone people either love or hate... I feel like his movies are like cilantro. I happen to be a big fan and... I feel like even if you're not a fan you can probably appreciate just how stunning his movies are. This isn't my favorite of his- my favorite is definitely Isle of Dogs... but this one is really good. If you're a fan of Arrested Development- there are some similarities to the Bluths and Tennenbaums... so you might want to check it out. 

8) Practical Magic (1998)- I'm excited to watch this movie before halloween. It's really cute and Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman are just really great together in this one. Nicole Kidman is a very beautiful actress- but she is particularly gorgeous in this movie. This one is just really fun to watch. 

9) Hereditary (2018)- Another movie I plan on watching again before Halloween... this movie is gruesome and dark but... it is really something. If you like horror and you aren't afraid of gore... this is a perfect horror drama movie! 

10) Batman Returns (1992) - This might be one of my favorites from Tim Burton... idk I just think of all his work this might be the most Tim Burton-y... its really good. And I think Michelle Pfiffer is my favorite Cat Woman. 

That's it! I will probably do more of these in the future because... it's easy and it's fun lol. 

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...
