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!

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...

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...
