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!

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...
