Movie Monday: Atomic Blonde... I think I liked it?

 So this is another movie that has some problems... but my boyfriend has been telling me to watch it with him for years because it is bad and I finally watched it with him... and it had problems but I didn't hate it. 

So this movie is also set in the 80s... so there's a theme here with my last movie being Wonder Woman 1984... and it was actually on the day the Berlin Wall was taken down. 

And the ending is kind of a twist... but there are actually a lot of clues to it throughout the movie... There was one time I said to my boyfriend "I keep thinking Charlize Theron's character's accent is bad... but she's from South Africa so she did have a british accent at some point." So... yeah! 

And a lot of the events in the movie... I don't understand what exactly anyone was trying to accomplish. One character gets killed... but at that point I was like "Was that really necessary?" I kind of forget what happens but... some of the characters motivations don't make sense. Even listening to breakdowns of the movies... some of the breakdowns contradicted themselves and I think it was just because the movie was hard to follow. 

I feel like this is a movie that might be better the second time around because you can kind of understand what's going on. I believe they are making a second movie and I would definitely watch that and watch this one again. 

The soundtrack was also really great and one of the fight choreographers in the movie was the same as the fight choreographer from John Wick. Although I didn't think all the fight scenes were that exciting at first... they really do pick up at the end of the movie! 

Anyway that is everything! I hope you like this review... I liked the movie... and even though at first I didn't exactly like the movie... the more I think of it the more I'm like "That was kind of fun!" 

Bye!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

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
