Chart Chat! 8.22.16

This week is very similar to what it was last week... so I'm not really doing a countdown on it... I'm just gonna say what I think and what I know of the movies... so its kind of regular but kind of different I guess. I'm not sure... but we'll see!

1) Suicide Squad- 3rd week in a row! I think this will end up saving the new DC movies that are coming out... even though I've heard bad reviews on it, its making a lot of money... and maybe that's a good thing about it being released in August. I've said this isn't exactly one I'm rushing to see in theaters, but I think it'll be a fun one to watch at home. Like Watchmen... I know a lot of people didn't like the movie Watchmen... I liked it, but I think its because I watched it at home and not in the theaters. I feel like it'd be a little cheesy in the theaters, but at home I could accept the cheese.

2) Sausage Party- I think I'm going to have to see this when its on TV. I really don't want to see it though. I think it'll be really funny... but I don't think its really my style. I don't know. We'll see what happens everyones saying its great. The trailer actually horrified me... so that's kind of why I'm incredibly hesitant about it.

3) War Dogs- This movie looks great! I don't think I'll see it in theaters... I haven't been in a "movie going" mood lately... not sure why, but this looks really good and I want to see it. It looks funny but also action-y and I just think it'll be a good one!

4) Kubo and The Two Strings- I don't usually like it when kids movies are more serious like this one... but I think this will be really good. Again, not rushing out to see it, but it looks action-packed and fun. I could see this being a good one to see at a kids birthday party or something. Its good!

5) Pete's Dragon- I really want to see this one! At first I was kind of against it because I remember the other Pete's Dragon and I liked the big cartoon dragon. I thought Eliot was so cute and I still think he is one of the cutest disney characters. I do think Disney is doing a great job with their live-action movies and I'm sure this one will be beautiful and heartwarming and memorable. I'm thinking of doing a favorite Disney movie post sometime soon and I don't think I'd include many live action movies in it... but lately Disney's been doing some great ones and with the Marvel Movies and Star Wars they've got something special now. There is only one live action Disney movie I think would be included in my favorites... but I might do a separate category for live action movies so... yeah. Look out for a future post on that!

Ohhh wait... Muppets count too... okay so there are some more because I really love the muppets!

6) Ben Hur- I have no idea why they wasted their time and money with a remake of this movie... there are so many action movies that aren't doing very well at the box office that I'm not sure why they thought "Yeah... nows a good time to remake Ben Hur. For $2million? Done!" But... they did. And most of the reviews of this were terrible... Sandy Kenyon  from ABC 7 news didn't mind it... but he didn't think they needed to remake it... and they really didn't.

7) Jason Bourne- I've mentioned this in a few other weeks. I don't really follow the Bourne movies... I saw one of them when I was a teenager... but I didn't pay much attention to it. It was fun though I guess. But most people like these movies and Matt Damon, so its good that they're still making them and that he's back... so yeah. Probably a good one.

8) Bad Moms- I typed this out Bad Mons... which made me giggle. Like "Ohhh its bad, mon!" But no, it is bad moms! And it looks good, but its another one I can watch at home if I want to. I'm sure its really funny though.

9) The Secret Life of Pets- I think I'll like this movie... I know a lot of people that didn't but I think it looks cute and I like Illumination movies of corse... you know I love minions... so I'll probably actually buy this when its out on Blu Ray or DVD. I think it'll be cute. All the toys are cute, I have one of the toys from the cereal box... and I know they're making more of these already... so its here to stay!

10) Florence Foster Jenkins- This movie looks great! I'm excited about it. It does look sad though because she really thinks she's a good singer and she isn't. And its a sad story... but Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant are always good! So I'll definitely watch it!

Byeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
