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!

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...
