Chart Chat! 11/28/16

Alright... I'm a little surprised at this week's chart chat... but let's just jump into it! I'm also super tired... so I feel like this will be an abridged top 10!

10) The Edge of Seventeen I want to see this... but I'll probably wait till its on TV. It looks good... but there are so many movies out right now and this doesn't seem like one that you need to see in theaters the way I think Fantastic Beasts or even Moana is.

9) Hacksaw Ridge - Sounds good... but too serious compared to the kids movies at the top of my "To See" list. Lol.

8) Almost Christmas- Probably not a bad movie... probably won't see it because again... it looks sad!Just realized I don't need an Again here... I wrote this list backwards... so that's why some of my phrasing doesn't make much sense. Again I'm getting ready for a nap.

7) Bad Santa 2- I never saw the original Bad Santa... I probably should someday but its so sad its not really on the top of my list of movies I really want to watch at Christmas. I feel like a sequel to this is something people are probably skeptical of... but with Kathy Bates as Momma Bad Santa... it sounds a lot better.

6) Trolls- Cute... definitely thought this would have been higher on the box office this weekend... but I guess with Moana, Fanstastic Beasts and Doctor Strange all being family movies, this one kinda falls short on the list of "Ohhh yeah we have to see that." Despite having a good soundtrack and probably a great cast of voices as well.

5) Arrival- Again... I want to see this but its a movie I think you really really need to be paying attention too.

4) Allied- I want to see this movie when its on TV... Sandy Kenyon said that this movie was pretty bad and that the chemistry between the two leads was abysmal... but I can get past bad on screen chemistry for a movie... idk. Maybe its because I watch a lot of TV and when there's bad chemistry on a TV Show (I'm talking to you Sookie and Eric) its a little hard to watch... but if the story in a movie is okay, usually it isn't terrible to at least half watch... and I think this is going to have a good story with it. I don't see how the "is she a spy? Is she not a spy?" Aspect can be all that boring... it sounds a little like Mr. and Mrs. Smith... but better.

3) Doctor Strange- Again... I don't really know what this is about and I'm not super interested... but Benedict Cumberbatch looks pretty hot and People seem to really love this since it is still doing so well!

2) Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them- I think I'm seeing this tomorrow... so I will hopefully have a review on this soon! I'm excited. Apparently it doesn't really feel like Harry Potter until the end. I think Grindelwald and Dumbledore are involved... idk either way it sounds like a really great movie on its own and its pretty cool that there really wasn't a book to go with this. I'm excited for it!

1) Moana- Judging by how excited I am for this movie and how much I love the music of Lin Manuel Miranda and I love the Hawaiin theme and The Rock and the new girl who is voicing the princess... I shouldn't be THAT surprised that this is #1 this week... but I really really thought Fantastic Beasts was going to win it again. It just goes to show you, Disney is smarter than ever now! They have a very charming team with the two leads in this movie and Miranda... plus a new Disney Princess that is Polynesian, which we've never seen before... and it seems like its just as fun for girls as it is boys. A lot about this movie reminded me of Hercules and Mulan. Those movies are kinda just kids movies, not girl movies or boy movies... just plain kids movies with adventure and singing and fun. So yeah! Smart move, Disney!

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...
