Chart Chat! (feb 17th-Feb 19th)

Here are the new Top Charts of the week at the Box Office!

10) A Cure For Wellness- This looked like a weird movie... but I'm surprised it isn't further on the chart. I guess it was a little weird for most people... because it's low on the chart lol. Doesn't really have the same suspense appeal as Split... and it isn't exactly the best Date night movie for the weekend after Valentines day.

9) La La Land- This probably would be a great date night movie after Valentine's day. It looks cute, it's a musical and it's been getting rave reviews and lots of Oscar Buzz. Hasn't done great on the charts... but it has been in the top 10 for quite some time now.

8) A Dog's Purpose- Just saw this movie and I loved it! I have a review that I'll try to link here (not published quite yet as I'm writing it... so if I don't remember to link it... that is why!) I loved it... it made me cry throughout most of the movie... it was really good to hear about life from a dog's point of view. The good and the bad, the good in people and the bad in people... it was just a good story that was told in a very sweet way.

7) Split- This has been doing well on the charts for quite a while... and is still holding strong. Even against the latest horror flick, A Cure For Wellness... which is surprising. This has the suspense element that I think is making it so popular. My friend saw it and is still talking about it because it was just so shocking... so it's a good one!

6) Hidden Figures- This has been doing great at the Box Office since it's release! I think it was a little lower in the charts last week than it is today... but people really wanted to know this story and it's a shame that it wasn't told sooner. I'm guessing a lot of classes are probably seeing this and possibly even churches and youth groups... this is the sort of movie that I had classes for that would say "Okay see this movie and we'll have a discussion in class." Or ones that would be good for a youth group trip... I'm sure I've mentioned that before... I always really liked doing that... if you can't tell I like writing about movies... so this is good.

5) Fist Fight- This just looked really funny. Charlie Day and Ice Cube... it seems like something that could really happen to teachers IRL... It's not doing great for it's first week released... but this is something I would probably want to see... it has some competition right now and it's still good for the Top 5!

4) John Wick- Chapter 2- I like Keanu Reeves... not sure what the movie is really about... I haven't seen the first one...not really my cup of tea... but apparently people like it enough to get it to #4... so yeah.

3) The Great Wall- It seems ridiculous to me that Matt Damon is in a movie about the Great Wall of China... this is the movie he had to do for China so that he could make The Martian... I forget how that worked out... but that's somehow the contract negations or something... this is doing well in China... not so bad here... but people are offended here that they need a white man to save China from the monsters... this is a ridiculous sounding movie to me... when I hear "The Great Wall of China" I don't want to think "Ohh... Matt Damon." It's just weird.

2) 50 Shades Darker- Again at #2! Even after Valentines' day week... which I would think couples would still celebrate after... uhhh this movie seems like kind of a joke... Sandy Kenyon said people were laughing at it in theaters... it looks funny to me... better than 50 shades of grey to me... but apparently it is not.

1) The Lego Batman Movie- I want to see this movie! I didn't know at first... but I heard the Super Carlin Brothers review of it... and it sounds really funny and pretty good. I think they thought it wasn't exactly like the Lego Movie... but the differences sound good and I think it is still a kid playing with Legos.

That is everything... Hope you guys like this!

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...
