Kinda Review of Disney+'s Noelle

Heyo! Happy Holidays! This is the first post that was kind of requested. I put up a poll on my Twitter [@McCartheEvita] and the only vote was my reaction to Noelle.

I still don't have WiFi. Went all 2019 without WiFi. Its been a year but I kept up this blog somewhat.

Noelle is a Disney+ original. If you don't have Disney+ I'm sorry. You should get it if you can afford it. My mom got it as an early Christmas gift for me because I have been dying for it since it was announced.

This post will include spoilers so if you haven't seen Noelle and don't want to know how it ends go check out another one of my posts. I have many.

Let me start off by saying I am not the biggest Anna Kendrick fan so when I first saw the banner for it on the Disney+ app I wasn't planning on watching it. I don't dislike her. I just don't care for her. But then I saw a banner with Bill Hader whom I love with all my soul. I used to get teased for liking him because he was just the funny SNL guy when I was crushing on him hard in high school. Now he's taken more seriously and EVERYONE loves him. But its what he deserves.

Anyway I saw Bill Hader and I was like "oooh" and I decided to watch it one night when I couldn't sleep. I was expecting it to be cheesy. It was cheesy in the best ways. Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader played the kids of Santa Claus, Noelle and Nick, respectively.

Nick is the next Santa in line. So after their dad passes he has to take up the reigns of the sleigh. However, Nick ain't too good at being Santa. So Noelle jokes that he should take a vacation and come back fresh and ready for Christmas. He leaves and disappears leaving everyone in the North Pole confused and worried. The elder elves, wrongly, call for the next male in the family tree which is Noelle and Nick's cousin played by Billy Eichner. I love Eichner but I hated his character in this film.

Noelle goes to Phoenix, Arizona to find her brother because that's where he went according to her magazines. She goes after him and hires a private investigator to help her. The PI is this single dad named Jake. A bunch of shenanigans ensue and Noelle finds Nick, but he is now a yogi and doesn't want to be Santa. Throughout the film its revealed that Noelle has the powers all Santas have, which Nick is lacking.

In the end its revealed that Noelle is the true Santa all along and I cried. I cried when the little girl at the shelter called/signed Santa.

The movie as a whole was really good. I enjoyed it. I am a sucker for cheesy Christmas movies. I loved how in the end Santa was a girl. However, regarding the real life debate I'm not bothered. I'm okay with Santa being a dude, however if there ever is a female Santa sign me up to be a mall Santa.

Anyway, the writing was a bit lacking, but I'm not mad because its a kids movie and its not meant to be a cinematic masterpiece. Its a movie I would recommend to any family with young kids. Or any family. The youngest in my household is 17 and I want my whole family to watch this movie.

The casting was good. Again, I love Bill Hader with all my heart. Billy Eichner is an icon. And Anna Kendrick made me cry. So that's a thing.

If you like cheesy Disney movies or if you like cheesy Christmas movies this is the film for you.

Sorry this post was so short and quick. I'm trying to get a bunch of posts done before the year is over.

Why Blue is the Real Villain of Blue's Big City Adventure

Okay, so maybe "villain" isn't the right word. Blue is more like the antagonist. This post is about the Blues' Clues & You movie Blue's Big City Adventure. So there will be spoilers. If you have Paramount+, it's only an hour watch. I promise it is worth the watch if you have watched Blue's Clues in any capacity. Blue's Big City Adventure poster If you were born in the 90s or early 2000s like me then you most likely watched the original Blue's Clues show hosted by either Steve (Steve Burns) or Joe (Donovan Patton). I have an older and a younger brother, so I got to experience both. However, MY host was Steve, and I am a Steve fan til the day I die. I have Blue's Clues & You playing in the background as I write this post because I realized I haven't watched a single episode of the new series despite watching the movie 6 times. I cannot stress enough how much I love Blue's new design. She looks so much fluffier. The original Blue...

Fangirl Friday: Deleasa

 Heyo! Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I ramble about someone I love! Today's subject is DJ and producer, Deleasa. His name is Mike Deleasa and while I normally refer to my subjects by first name in these posts, I will be referring to him by his stage name, Deleasa. NOW to understand how I became a fan of Deleasa, we have to go all the way back to 2012, when Kevin and Danielle Jonas' reality show, Married to Jonas  premiered. I bet you're wondering what does this guy have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Deleasa is actually Danielle's brother, making him Kevin's brother-in-law. He was featured in the reality show and I ended up falling in love with him. He was actually my parasocial "rebound" from Joe. You can read all about my parasocial breakup with Joe in my Fangirl Friday about him . But enough about the Jonas Brothers. That's not why we're here. Plus I've already written 30k words about them on this blog. However, I am for...

That Time Rod Stewart Found Other Ways of Doing Cocaine

 Heyo! Happy Monday! This week's That Time... is a doozy. If you're a classic rock fan or a fan of Rod Stewart, you probably know exactly what this post is about. This one is a short one, but an interesting one. So bear with me. Of course need to put a warning about drug use. There are plenty of other posts that you are more than welcome to check out if this isn't your thing. If you are unfamiliar with Rod Stewart, let me introduce you to the ICON! He's a rockstar who also has a few pop bangers. I grew up with his music and can't remember a time in my life without his music. The first song I think of when he pops into my head is "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" . I know it's the most basic song of his, but I have fond memories listening to the song on the radio when I was a kid. He's also dabbled in a few bands, but I am more familiar with his solo work than his bands. Though check out his band, Faces. In 2012, Rod released his autobiography, Rod: The A...
