Movie Monday: Bruce Almighty- Cute Movie... but it doesn't work as well today.

 Soo... yeah. I saw Bruce Almighty was on Comedy Central and nothing else was on so I watched it... and overall it's a fun movie... but it's weird. 

I feel like now that I'm grown up... if I were Grace (Jennifer Aniston's character) I wouldn't forgive Bruce at the end of the movie. He's kind of a terrible boyfriend and I feel like he learns his lesson... but does he really? 

Bruce is a news anchor and at the beginning of the movie he's upset about not getting the lead anchor position... and he's stuck doing small hometown stories, like The World's Largest Cookie... and they often cut his segments or shelf them... so it's not really working out for him. He kind of freaks out on the air when he finds out his rival got the position... then he goes home to his girlfriend Grace who's trying to comfort him and he just kind of yells at her and acts really selfishly... he also goes on to kiss another woman once his ego gets really big from being god... it's just weird. Obviously Jennifer Aniston could do better and... she ends up forgiving Bruce and taking him back when... he's kind of been ignoring her up until he leaves and... he's just not good... so I don't think I would have taken him back if I had been Jennifer Aniston. 

That being said- the movie is still really funny and Morgan Freeman playing God is obviously very iconic. And all the jokes are really funny. I'm not very religious, but I did go to Catholic School so the religious stuff in the movie is sort of funny and tongue in cheek without being too religious or offensive I guess. It's just kind of silly and you don't see a lot of these types of movies anymore. It's kind of fun to see. Even though it didn't quite live up to my hype of always kind of liking the movie. 

The scene I feel like I was most disappointed in was when Bruce messes with Evan when he's live on the air... I remember it being really really funny... but now when I'm watching it I'm just wondering how Bruce making Evan say all that stuff isn't affecting his free will... it's weird. 

Anyway... there's my review. I'd probably watch the movie again if it was on tv because it was still funny... but it isn't quite the classic I thought it was going to be. 

Bye!

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...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
