Top 10 Movies I Watch Whenever They're On TV

So I couldn't think of what to write today... but this is something that is very telling of a person. The movies that if you see it on TV, you will watch it above everything else. They might not necessarily be my favorite movies... but they're ones I get really, really excited about. 1) My Big Fat Greek Wedding  This one is my favorite and this probably is in my Top 5 Favorite movies of All Time. It's just such a good movie, I've seen it so many times I actually know every word. This is the only movie that I know every word to... unless Hamilton becomes a movie lol. It's just sooo good and so funny. I love it. 2) Any of The Despicable Me Movies  These aren't on as much as they used to be... but Despicable Me is my favorite movie ever... I could watch it a million times and still never get tired. And I also love Minions and Despicable Me 2... in that order. Despicable Me is #1 then Minions and then DM2. DM3 looks really good too, I'm so excited for it.....

Throwback Thursday: My Big Fat Greek Wedding

So I watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding... the original movie, not the sequel... and this is one of my favorite movies ever. Its the movie I watch pretty much any time its on... but its been a while since I've really sat down and watched it... so I figured I'd do that again... I was cleaning my room also, but mostly I was watching the movie and I feel like it was a little different to me. I always think thought this was a funny movie, but now I think its really relatable. Maybe because my sister just got married so I was just in a Big Fat Greek Wedding... but I watched it and I'm like "Those sort of things happen all the time!" Not just family- related... but like when she was getting Ian the Brochure's and she fell... that's so funny! And the moments between his family and her family... its just really funny. I don't know why but for some reason those were the parts that really stuck out to me in this viewing. Angelo and Nikki were really funny too....

Scribbles About Movies: My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2

I knew before I saw this I would like it... and I know it got bad reviews and its not going to win any academy awards or anything... but I've had a kind of rough week, and this made me smile, laugh and even tear up a little for about an hour and thats all that matters right? I don't think I've ever left a movie with so many people with smiles on their faces and in a cheerful mood as this movie... and that's what you have to think about while seeing a movie. So some of why I like this movie so much is the same as why I didn't like fuller house. I loved the first movie, and I loved the familiarity of the old characters and the additional characters too. A lot of the jokes were the same as the first movie... but they were different enough to kind of have a new spin. It was fresh and nice and funny. I liked the beginning where Gus was picking everyone up and they all lived next door in some greek-themed house. It was funny. It wasn't as good as the first movie r...

Chart Chat: 1.28.16

Alright exciting Chart Chat this week! Movies  5) Allegiant- The Divergent Series last hurrah. I haven't read Divergent yet... need to do that. Then I'll see the movies now that they are all done. I'm not one to really keep up too much with these movies... but I like Shayleene Woodly and I loves me some Ansel Elgort... so yeah. I'll see this in 3 years or something maybe. Lol. 4) Miracles From Heaven- This is one of those movies that you don't hear a lot about but they come out around Easter and they get pretty high on the charts quickly because churches go to see them as a group... kind of a gimmick for ticket sales... but this movie actually looked good to me. Idk. I like Jennifer Garner and I'll watch her in almost anything, so I'd want to see this. 3) My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2- I know this got horrible reviews but I can't wait to see this... people really don't understand My Big Fat Greek Wedding and I think they are getting this one eit...

Scribbles About Movies: My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 Trailer Review

Alrighty! So I know I said I'd have the AHS re-watch today... But this is more important. A sequel to one of my favorite movies of all time, much overdue and I'm so excited I'm actually writing this from the back seat of a car! Lol. So I couldn't hear the whole trailer all that well as I watched it in the back seat of a car and I don't think I saw the very end... But even without sound... This is the way to do a sequel. The whole cast is back, everyone is still alive and they look just as funny and great as in the original. I think if anyone had passed away or wasn't able to do the sequel for other commitments, they probably wouldn't have done it and I don't think they should have in that case honestly. They also show that everyone is older. The daughter from the first movie is all grown up and Ian and Toula are trying to keep their marriage fresh and get a minute without the whole family... And that doesn't work out. It's funny there are som...

Scribbles About Books: Instant Mom by Nia Vardalos

If you don't know who Nia Vardalos is... You probably aren't Greek! Lol. I feel like she's kind of a household name in Greek circles... and really among my friends too. I feel like most of my friends and family know a lot about her and like her a lot just because I talk about her so often because she is one of my heroes, and I feel like we know each other now. She's very nice on twitter and on Facebook. If you go to her facebook, you can even find out how to get a personalized copy of Instant Mom, which is awesome. She told me that writers rock and thats really cool and special and sweet of her to do. All the Proceeds go to Adoption charities also. So this isn't just a parenting book or a book preaching adoption or anything like that. It has a lot of fun stories that she tells about her being famous too. She includes the story of how she met Rita Wilson and got My Big Fat Greek Wedding written. She talks about how she met John Corbett and the Queen also and just f...

Scribbles about Movies: Movies that I will always watch on TV

First off: Sorry I haven't been here the past couple days. I've had ideas to post and stuff but I just haven't really felt like sitting down and actually writing these things. Don't worry, I have plans and I'll get a lot of good posts out soon. Right now I'm just going to do a little random favorite movies type of thing. I've seen a lot of movies a bunch of times, but there are some that I will put on pretty much anytime they are on tv and I don't get tired of them. Most of these are typical girly movies or cartoons... but those I tend not to get tired of very easily. 1) My Big Fat Greek Wedding- I've most likely seen this movie more than any other movie ever. And it still makes me laugh so hard! Maybe its because I'm greek... but a lot of my non-greek friends love this movie too, so it is totally funny and awesome for a lot of people. Nia Vardalos is also my hero and we're basically bffs now. Lol she's one of the best people to follo...
