Movie Review: Barbie
I personally thought it was great! It has a great message, but also had a great sense of humor. The movie has a serious message, but delivers it with a lot of heart. Margot Robbie is believable playing everyone's favorite doll, and Ryan Gosling really makes you feel bad for Ken. Will Ferrell and Kate McKinnon are always fantastic. The speech given near the end is gold. There are always quite a few cameos. My final rating is 5 stars.

Challenge Mania Event
(I meant to post this Sunday night, but TikTok was having some unknown issues). I went to The Challenge Mania meet and greet Sunday over in Seattle at Art Marble 21. I finally had the chance to meet some people I've watched on TV the past 25 (or so) years. The event was wonderful, and the venue was pretty awesome. I don't live in Seattle, so my biggest obstacle was getting there and getting home. I actually met Derrick when I was outside walking around (him, Mark, and Darrell were taking a walk too). I am really glad I went, and hope to go to another one eventually! (This is a very rare glimpse into my life, but wanted to put more personal stuff on here)

Movie Review: The Super Mario Bros Movie
I thought it was entertaining. The cast stand outs are definitely Toad and Bowser, but the entire cast was great. I liked the way they mixed Mario kart with a regular Mario game, but also had some "real life" in there too. I was a little worried about how Chris Pratt would do as Mario, but I was pleasantly surprised. Charlie Day was Luigi was great. Bowser (Jack Black) was hilarious, and don't forget to stay for the end credits scenes! My final score is 4 stars out of 5!

My Ranking of ALL 6 SCREAM Movies (Updated)!
***This post was updated in March of 2023, but it was originally posted a year ago after Scream 5 was released***
I was going to post this a week ago, but I decided to wait until Scream 5 was in theaters for 2 full weekends. I saw a ranking blog online, and didn't agree with the list, so I decided to do one of my own.
6. Scream 3 - by far the worst movie in the series. I figured out who the killer was about halfway through and the story line itself was pretty weak.
4. Scream 5 - Again, I found out pretty early on who Ghostface was, so kinda ruined it after that. I also don't like that they killed one of the original characters.
3. Scream 4 - This one caught me by surprise. I thought it was surprisingly good for a reboot AND it went back to the root of the Scream movies. I mean, it followed 11 years after Scream 3 but was just as good as the first 2. (Side note: My fave Ghost Face and apparently the most kills of any other movie in the franchise)
2. Scream - the movie that kicked off the series almost 26 years ago. I still love the fact that you never see the ending coming in the series - they keep you guessing until the very end. I love Matthew Lillard and Jamie Kennedy in this movie, and Neve Campbell is a total bad ass
1. Scream 2 - This is still my favorite movie in the series; the only thing I didn't like was that they killed off Randy. The reveal in the original movie was definitely memorable, but I like that they changed it up a little bit this time around. I still love Randy in this movie. I wish this movie hadn't been followed so closely by 3.

Movie Review: Scream VI
I think I said this after the 5th one, but they should've stopped at 4. I didn't think this movie was bad, but it wasn't up to the usual caliber of a Scream movie. I did like that Hayden P came back. There were parts of this movie that didn't make sense even in a fantasy world. I am one of those people that actually like Melissa Barrera as the lead. I also like the twist at the beginning. They tried some new stuff this movie to try to keep things fresh and the franchise relevant, but not sure if they worked. My ending thoughts are you aren't Scream without Neve Campbell or Wes Craven. My final rating: 3 out of 5 stars
