Chart Chat: 3.20.17

Exciting week of the charts! I actually saw the #1 movie in America! I'll have a review of that tomorrow I think!

10) Before I Fall- Third week on the charts! This will probably be the last week of the charts... but I was hoping John Wick Chapter 2 would be off the charts by now and it clearly wasn't. Let's see what the movie is about because I never actually looked up what it was about. I just know Elena Kamporis is in it and I love her. Ohhh okay so it's scary groundhog day. I think a teenager is living her last day over and over again on February 12th... so 10 days after groundhog day. Not subtle... but it sounds like something I'll watch on TV one day...

9) John Wick Chapter 2- Ohhh great... John Wick Chapter 2 is on the charts for the 6th week in a row. Maybe I should see the first one... clearly this is a thing!

8) Hidden Figures- Lucky number 13 weeks on the chart! Still going strong! I really want to see this still. I think it's still playing around me... but probably not many times... the movie theaters around here are small... but this is great for the movie and at a great time. I feel like it's still wayyyy too late for this story being told... but it's nice to have a positive message in today's day and age. This I've mentioned many times on the charts and I have the opposite reaction to John Wick I'm like "This deserves to still be on the charts." They should play movies like this more often. Like if there were revival theaters that played movies with a good message like this, Crash, Brokeback Mountain, Get Out probably and things like that. Might be good!

7) The Belko Experiment- This is like if Saw was a social experiment. This was a movie from the Toranto Film Festival and came out there in September... so that's interesting. It's cool when a film festival film is in the top 10. Makes me want to see it a little bit... but also not really. Lol. I'm not a fan of the Saw movies or anything that's about killing but there's no real suspense. I guess Saw has suspense, but not the same as something I'd like. Not sure... don't think it would be my favorite thing.

6) The Lego Batman Movie- Lego! Batman! This movie sounded great and I still want to see it... probably won't see it in theaters, but I would love to watch it on TV. I'm excited that Will Arnett is Batman and Michael Cera is Robin... that's a great duo lol.

5) The Shack- Wanted to see this one... probably won't because it has gotten terrible reviews. It sounded like an interesting book... but a weird one and I don't know if this would be my thing. It's got a hot guy and Octavia Spencer in it though... so maybe it is. Lol.

4) Get Out- Another sad story about how I have no friends that like horror movie. I was half thinking of joining Bumble just to meet a friend that also likes horror movies and wants to see this but 1) That is an awkward friendship date 2) That seems like a way to get murdered. So yeah. Not going to do that... but I'll buy it when it's out on blu-ray.

3) Logan- I probably won't end up seeing this ever... but it looks good so hopefully I'll try sometime. Lol. I've heard good things. 3rd week on the charts. Not bad.

2) Kong: Skull Island- I tried watching the Peter Jackson King Kong this weekend... then I remembered I don't really like Adrian Brody... so yeah.

1) Beauty and The Beast- I saw this movie this weekend... hopefully I'll have a review of it tomorrow. I've been writing this blog for a long time- I just feel so distracted lol. I was like sooo excited when I started it and now I'm like "yeah. Beauty and the beast. It was amazing but I'll talk about it tomorrow." I liked that it was a musical... I feel like that's what was missing for me a bit with Cinderella and The Jungle Book. The Jungle Book did have music in it... and Cinderella the Cartoon really didn't... but this was a MUSICAL! There were more songs in this than in the cartoon... so that was pretty awesome. I'm excited to review it for you... I'm not as excited to write as I thought I would be though. Sorry lol.

So yeah... that is everything... I'm tired from babysitting today. It's hard! I'm jamming to Ed Sheeran right now and about to watch Colbert... I usually post this in like 30 minutes so I feel like I'm not meeting my deadline. Ugh... okay not interesting... I'm just going to shut up now lol.

Goodnight!

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...

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...

Man Crush Monday: Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon is one of my favorite talk show hosts... and I pretty much like all the late night talk show hosts... so that is saying a lot. (I haven't actually watched James Cordin yet, but I have a huge crush on him from Into The Woods, so yeah. I also have a crush on Seth Meyer though... And all the comedy central guys... ugh. Lol. and obviously Jimmy Fallon. Lol.) So yeah... this is saying a lot that he is one of my favorites. 1) He genuinely acts like he has the most fun job in the world-  Jimmy Fallon is always really excited about the show. He pretty much does have the most fun job ever, and he actually appreciates it. He was on SNL, and when he left SNL for late night he was excited and proud of his job, and now on The Tonight Show he's very happy. 2) His Ice Cream Flavors are good- This one is completely random... but I feel like having Ben and Jerry's make an ice cream flavor after you is a really big honor and a great responsibility. You can tell a lot about a...
