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!

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...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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...
