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!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
