[Take Me to the Movies] Captain Marvel

"There is no need to waste your time working to be anything other than you." - Brie Larson

Hello! Welcome to the first post in my Take Me to the Movies series (no spoilers). As many of you know, Captain Marvel was released today which happens to be International Women’s Day. Coincidence? I think not! Not only that but this is a HUGE release for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as it’s the final piece to the puzzle leading up to Avengers: End Game. I’ll start with my ratings for the six categories I have and for a seventh bonus category. My boyfriend is also a huge Marvel fan so we discussed our thoughts in depth.

Screenplay/Originality - I’m sure this was a difficult screenplay for the writers. Not only is this an origin story for Capitan Marvel but also the Avengers. For a two hour movie, it’s quite tough to bring

Time for a Re-Do

"Take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again" - Frank Sinatra

Listen guys, I'm ready. I know I have gone MIA then tried again a couple times in the past, but this time I know I'm truly at a point where I know I'm truly prepared to blog again. I miss writing and I want this to be my outlet. Why a public outlet? I think I'm super relatable and I want to be someone that people feel they can really relate to. I've had enough time to pick myself up, dust myself off, brainstorm, and now I'm here to start all over.

There are going to be five main blog topics that I will cover and I'd like to introduce you to them.

That's Life - This will be be where I talk about my life. I have a feeling this one will get a lot of love. I feel good things coming!
As Seen on TV - Product reviews! They won't be all be things I've seen on TV.. they could be things I've seen on Facebook, Instagram, Etsy, Amazon, wherever my online searches take me, things people have recommended to me, things I see at Target, Home Goods, and who else knows where. Real life, everyday reviews.
Tell Me a Story - I'm now a Book of the Month member. Some months I read faster than others and some months I can barely get 10 minutes a day. I hope that wanting to review books will push me to read more.
No Reservations - Foooooood. This is going to be where I talk about food - recipes I make up, any food I eat worth talking about, review restaurants, and recipes I've tried.
Take Me to the Movies - My boyfriend and I became AMC Stubs A-List members back in November and we loooooove it (I'll write a whole post about that). Since we now watch a lot of movies, I'm going to review them. I'll also review Hallmark and Lifetime movies, but those won't be structured ratings, more of just me sharing my opinions and comparing against the hundreds of other Hallmark and Lifetime movies I've watched. Back to the theater movies, I've created a rating system for how I will review and rate them.. Each category will be rated out of five then I will average the scores for one overall rating. It will go as follows -  

-Screenplay/Originality
-Acting
-Entertainment factor (including emotion factors too)
-Audio (including soundtrack and sound editing/mixing)
-Visuals (cinematography, animation, visual and special effects)
-Trailer 

There they are! What do you think?! I'll of course post about other things as well but wanted to introduce you to my current blog babies that I really love. I hope you'll love these and follow along. I can't wait to start working on the next post!

Until next time
