Chart Chat 10.10.16

Feel like I haven't done a Chart Chat in a while! Here we go! I actually want to see most of these movies... so that's kind of cool. Also I just posted this on the other blog... so I took it down and now its here. Lol.

10) Queen of Katwe- Kind of surprised this is at the bottom of the list... but I also didn't realize it was out for 3 weeks already! I don't really know what this is about, but I love Lupita Nyongo! She's an amazing actress and I just love her personality! She seems so fun on the red carpet... and I just like her!

9) Masterminds- This movie looks so funny! My grandfather and uncle saw it this weekend and they loved it. Said it was really good... so yeah. I feel like Zach Galifinakis is making a comeback... but his last comeback just happened really... so yeah. It's cool to see that Zach Galifinakis is the new Zach Galifinakis.

8) Sully-I've mentioned this before, looks like a good movie... probably not going to see it. Not really my thing. Sully is a hero, Tom Hanks is amazing... but this just isn't my thing.

7) Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life- This looks funny! It looks like movies that were out when I was a kid... but it might be funnier because of Andy Daily. He's super funny and I really like him on the Comedy Bang Bang Podcasts... he's great!

6) The Birth of A Nation- The images in the trailer to this movie kind of made me a little sick. And it looked really good because that's what it was supposed to do and I do want to see it. I know there is controversy around the director... he was accused of rape charges, which he was acquitted for... don't really know the situation there. I didn't see it get good reviews on IMDB, I don't know from critics...its still something that I probably will actually watch when it comes on TV because the trailer caught my attention.

5) Storks-Transitioning from a funny movie to a serious movie and now to a cute movie! This looks adorable, I think I'm even more excited for it because I'm going to have a niece in February and I think its cute. It looks really good and sometimes you just need a fun cartoon with some storks and a baby!

4) The Magnificent Seven- Chris Pratt is in this... I obviously want to see it!

3) Deepwater Horizon- Haven't heard of this one... but good its #3! That must be pretty good then! Okay after watching the trailer... I kind of want to see it! Its an "I'll see it at home" movie for sure... but it looks genuinely like a good movie. I've seen some of Lone Survivor, and I did like what I saw of that and this has the same director and Mark Wahlberg... so I think it would be good. Kate Hudson and Gina Rodrigez from Jane the Virgin are also in this... so yeah. Great cast, and it looks like a great movie. Sad, also probably very hard to watch... but good!

2) Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children- Interestingly enough, the top 2 movies are based off of books. Deepwater Horizon is based off a real event... and the Magnificent Seven is based off a movie... so that's kind of funny. I kind of want to read the book of this... but I think the movie looks really pretty and I really want to see it. It just looks fun... and I like Eva Green and Tim Burton...so that should be good. I think this is one I would see before reading... but the next one I don't think I can.

1) Girl on The Train- I really want to read this book... and this movie is getting great reviews and it really looks good! I love mysteries, this looks like a great one. I'm not sure if the book is told from the Emily Blunt characters point of view... but that would be interesting because she is somewhat of an unreliable narrator I'm guessing... I might have to read this tonight. Lol.

Hope you guys liked this... sorry its a little late... but I still thought it would be good to post. Lots of more serious movies this week... idk how I like that!

Byeee!

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...

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
