Movie Monday: The Best Movies of 2020

 This is kind of funny because it's going to be a short list since... there were really no movies in 2021... anyway here's what I'm going to be talking about! 

Harley Quinn Birds of Prey 

Invisible Man 

Sonic The Hedgehog 

Onward 

Lovebirds

The Christmas Chronicles 2 

Soul 

Happiest Season 

I think that's everything new I saw this year... so I'm going to start with the worst and go to the best! 

8) The Christmas Chronicles 2

So this was the sequel to one of my favorite Christmas Movies... it's available for streaming on Netflix and that's how I saw it... I just thought it was weird and disappointing. I liked seeing The North Pole a lot... I thought the new stepbrother was really cute... but overall... Not my favorite movie. I'd watch it again but it was meh. Not my favorite at all. 

7) Harley Quinn Birds of Prey 

Okay so... I liked this movie... but it definitely could only be number 6 on the list if there are only 7 movies out... lol. I did actually buy the dvd too because I thought it was fun... but... it isn't great. Most people don't like it but... I like Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and I thought it was fun! 

6) Lovebirds 

This was a funny movie too. Actually a lot better than I was expecting. I don't think I would have seen this in theaters because the trailer looked kind of bad... but because it was on Netflix... I watched it and it was actually really funny. Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae were great together. It was a fun movie... but the plot was a little bit weird. The crime plot rather- not the breakup type of plot... it's not a bad movie... just a little something I probably wouldn't watch again that much. 

5) Happiest Season- 

I actually forgot about this one... and I added it into the list right after. This is a movie I didn't watch again this Christmas Year- but I would watch it again next year and for years to come. This was a cute Christmas Rom Com about a lesbian couple who goes home to meet her girlfriends parents... who don't know that the girlfriend is gay. And she meets up with her ex girlfriend. Its just a cute movie with a lot of heart. Some people say it's stressful... but it does have a happy ending. 

4) Sonic The Hedgehog- 

This was a really cute and fun movie. I'm happy with all of the changes they made to Sonic... and seeing it in theaters was really fun too. The audience I saw it with was really into it and everyone clapped after and gasped when they showed Tails at the end even though I think everyone knew he'd be in it. It was just really fun and this makes me miss seeing movies in theaters. It's a good one. 


3) Invisible Man- 

What. A . Movie. I saw this in an empty Dolby Theater RIGHT before everything shut down. It was awesome. I really like the Dolby theaters- I like them better than the Imax theaters... but the sound and the visuals of this movie were great in Dolby. So much suspense and some twists and turns. It's a good movie and it's on HBO Maxx and HBO now... so I'd recommend it. 

2) Onward- Onward was a great Pixar Movie... a year where we get 2 Pixar Movies in one year is usually better than this year was... but Onward was great. Everything in the movie kind of paid off at the end of the movie- which I always really love. It's a good one. 

1) Soul- My favorite movie of the year... maybe of the last few years is probably Soul. This is just such a sweet movie that's really funny too and... it didn't really feel like a kids movie. I still think kids might like it and I would have probably liked it as a kid. The music was great- there was nothing really predictable in the movie... I just overall liked it a lot. 

Okay. That is everything movie related for 2020... I should do books too but I didn't read as many books as I thought I would... and it's harder for me to review them all together just because it takes long to read a book. 

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...
