Chart Chat: 8.8.16

10) Ice Age: Collision Course- I was just thinking about how good the first Ice Age was and how different it was back then that it is now. If you haven't seen it, its really cute. It was in 2002... so its been 14 years! Wow! Did not realize it was over 10 years ago. But it was a very simple movie with Manny, Sid, and Diego who found a baby and were trying to get him back home to his family... and then Scrat's adventures were just kind of a side-story. And then I saw the second one with Queen Latifah and the cast grew and it just got to be a little crazy and totally different... and its just funny to think it started out that simple. I was thinking of it when I was watching The Good Dinosaur. It makes me happy that Pixar doesn't do many sequels cause it felt like a Pixar movie... and I haven't seen any others... but I doubt its at the level it was back then... so that's kind of sad thinking about that... but again I've never seen the new ones, so I can't fully know.

I really like the way these movies are animated! I think its cool and its always really pretty.

9) Ghostbusters- I still really want to see this movie! I don't care if its getting terrible reviews... I really like the new cast and I think its great that women can be ghostbusters. I like remakes because I do like seeing new takes on older movies and it kind of introduces me to a movie or tv show that maybe I wouldn't have seen otherwise... so yeah. Still doing well though! And that's good!

8) Nerve- This is interesting because I didn't know what this movie was about... but I saw it advertised a lot on Snapchat... and that must have worked because its an independent movie and its beating out huge blockbusters like Ice Age and Ghostbusters... which I think is a big deal even though those have been out a while. It looks interesting. Its about an internet game of truth or dare and thats always scary. Plus its got Emma Roberts and she's scary... lol! I love her though and this is definitely something I'll watch.

7) Light's Out- I think I saw trailers for this and it didn't look that scary to me... so I can see why its pretty low on the charts despite being a pre-roll ad on every youtube video... and this has also been out for 3 weeks... so I guess its not new lol. I thought it was new. Alright... thats not bad then. I'll take that back... but yeah. I might watch this if its on Netflix... otherwise nahhh.

6) Nine Lives- Kevin Spacey turns into a cat... I don't know what else to say about this. Kevin Spacey turns into an animated cat... Kevin Spacey from House of Cards... Kevin Spacey from American Beauty... Kevin Spacey who seems like the type of guy who's a super serious theater geek guy... turns into an animated cat. That is all.

5) Star Trek: Beyond- There are 2 types of people in this world. Star Trek People and Star Wars people. I'm a Star Wars person. I'm not saying you can't like both... but I've already tried one... I'm not into sci fi enough to try watching both. Maybe one day I will... but I don't think I will anytime soon. I've heard this is great though. Maybe... idk.

4) The Secret Life of Pets- I've talked about this before. I'm happy this is doing so well... but I'll wait for it. My sister and brother-in-law didn't like it much... I'm a grown up... idk if this is for me.

3) Bad Moms- This looks good. It isn't the first thing I want to see... but I want to see it.

2) Jason Bourne-I saw the last Bourne movie with Matt Damon in it... but I haven't seen any others... and I cannot remember what happened in that movie at all. Its action-y. Its an action movie you can show your grandparents I think... which is good! But... yeah. That's about it.

1) Suicide Squad- I linked a review on this in my post yesterday... and I think I'll wait on this. I don't think I want to see Batman vs Superman... so that makes me hesitant about this movie... I'm just hesitant about the new DC movies in general. I'll watch this on tv... but I don't think I'm in a rush to see this. Unless someone is like "do you want to see this" I don't think its #1 on my list. I'm excited to see it on TV though!

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...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
