Chart Chat 11.21.16

So I figured I'd do this a third week in a row... because why not? Lol.

10) Shut In- This is a horror movie with Naomi Watts... which is a good combo! I liked Naomi Watts in The Ring and I just think that's something she does really well. There aren't many actresses I'm like "Wow they can do serious movies... but they're so great in thrillers!" She is one of them! Jodi Foster, and Natalie Portman I think are other good examples... but yeah. This is probably a good movie. Not doing super great on the charts as this is its 2nd week out... but it has tough competition.

9) The Accountant- Again... no idea what this movie is about... almost got spoiled... I want to see it, but its going to be hard to actually review something that I can't talk about without spoiling too much. I'm sure its good. Ben Affleck again is good with thrillers... and I'm thinking this is a thriller... but yeah! It looks good!

8) Bleed For This- This has Miles Teller, who was on a late night talk show shortly after the election and I thought he did a really good job. It made me want to see his movies a little bit more. I've never seen Whipslash... but he was a huge breakout actor in that, and this also looks like a good movie. Maybe on TV. This is the first week this has been out... so not super huge... but again tough competition and I believe it is an independent movie.

7)The Edge of Seventeen- This looks like a good dark comedy. People are already comparing this to Mean Girls... I think there might be a little more dark humor in this one... but Mean Girls is quite dark when you think of it too. Again... first week... number 7. It's an indie release also I think, and when you're up against Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them... but this I think will gain more success. I think it's already getting a lot of critical praise and it looks really good. I'm interested in this one!

6) Hacksaw Ridge- I think I discussed this last week... pretty interesting plot. Had never heard of it before... still doing pretty strong!

5) Almost Christmas- I mentioned this last week I think... but I didn't mention the plot. A family is getting together after their mom dies... so I'm thinking this is sort of a dark dramedy or Christmas type drama... which I kind of understand the need for. Having a family get together for the holidays creates a lot of drama in itself... and a lot of comedy... so it makes sense that there are so many of these movies. Like The Family Stone and many others. This has some pretty good actors in it too I believe... so it should be good!

4) Arrival- This movie still interests me... if its on netflix or I can watch it somehow giving it my full attention... I will... but I don't think I want to see it in theaters... but I think it looks good!

3) Trolls- I bet this will continue to do strong during Thanksgiving Break! But yeah, the soundtrack is catchy... I probably won't see it until maybe my niece is old enough to see movies... but it looks cute!

2)Doctor Strange- Again, I think this will continue to stay strong over thanksgiving. I'm thinking maybe this will fall to #4 next week... I'm going to say Trolls stays at 3, and Moana goes to #2. And I think Fantastic Beasts will stay #1... because its Fantastic Beasts.

1) Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them- JK Rowling wrote this... its obviously #1! I have yet to see this... hopefully I will soon! I might sneak a review of this in Blogmas... but this looks really good... I feel like because this wasn't really a book first... there is no comparison...but I have my expectations lowered a little bit... but its cool that it takes place in America. I think that is going to be interesting.

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...
