Chart Chat 4.3.17

I'm a little shocked by this chart chat... but it's an exciting week! I'm somewhat surprised at the number 1 movie... although I mentioned it before, thinking that it would definitely be the #1 kids movie of the week... anyway- let's get started!

10) The Zookeeper's Wife- This movie looks amazing! What an incredible true story as well! A Zookeeper hid family's from the Nazi's in his Zoo! That's amazing. It looks like it's quite beautiful as well... I guess this had a very limited release this week and that' why it's so low on the list... I'm still a little surprised that CHIPS beat it out... but I think in upcoming weeks this will probably get to #1 on the charts... or at least pretty darn close. As much as I want to see this movie... I really really want to read the book. I don't know if I'll read the book first or not... but I'll make sure to read it at some point because that's an incredible story!

9) CHIPS- Love Kristin Bell and Dax Shepherd and the fact that they are both in this movie is pretty awesome. I think Shepherd wrote, directed and stars in it as well... which is pretty fantastic! I'm not that interested in this movie... I think it got okay reviews, but I don't think it has the appeal of something like the 21 Jump Street reboots. And I've never seen Chips... so mehhh.

8) Life- I think I talked about this last week.... yes. Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Reynolds... new life found on Mars is a threat to Mars and to Earth... I'm not super into sci fi and I don't really know anyone that is... but this sounds good and I want to see it on TV.

7) Get Out- 6th week on the charts and Jordan Peele's directorial debut is still going strong! I don't think it's going anywhere any time soon either... it's really the first movie of it's kind... it is possibly one of the most critically acclaimed Thrillers in years at least... maybe since Black Swan? It looks excellent... I wouldn't be surprised if theaters re-release this around Halloween or even for Black History Month in years to come... it seems like one people will always love to see in theaters! Plus- I think this will be in consideration for the Academy Awards next year. I hope it does, this movie just looked awesome!

6) Logan - This is also one that looked awesome. 5th week on the charts, Hugh Jackman's final movie as Wolverine... it looks really good. I know it's unlikely that comic book movies get recognized in the academy awards... but I think it might sometime. It's also been critically acclaimed and I think everyone involved in this movie is just so proud of their work!

5) Kong: Skull Island- This is a movie... it's been on the charts for far too long for me to come up with interesting things to say about it... Yeah... that's all I'm going to say about this one.

4) Power Rangers- 2nd week on the charts... I think it was number 2 in the charts last week... it's something I'll maybe watch on tv... won't go out of my way to watch.

3) Ghost in The Shell- There's always one movie that when I see the trailer I'm like "Ugh. I'm going to have to talk about this for weeks and weeks on the chart chats and I have no interest in it whatsoever." First off... they should have gotten an Asian Actress to play the role. There are lots of talented Asian actors and actresses and... Scarlett Johansen is a great actress... but they could have gotten an Asian actress.. This movie still probably wouldn't have been my cup of tea if they had... which I guess is my 2nd off... I'm sure a lot of people love it and a lot of people would have loved if they got an Asian Actress... but they didn't and a lot of people are angry... so yeah it's doing well on the charts, but I don't think it will stay on the charts for a long time. At least I hope not because... that's bad... and I don't really have any interest in talking about this movie anymore. So... yeah.

2) Beauty and The Beast- Number 1 movie for 2 weeks in a row... has now slipped to the #2 spot on the charts! I loved this, I thought it was so well done. My friend just saw it this week and said she cried the whole time... I couldn't stop singing after seeing it... I'd love to see it again and again... don't think that's going to happen... but what a fantastic movie! Highly recommend seeing it!


1) The Boss Baby- Half surprised that this is #1... but it also makes sense. Alec Baldwin is the voice of the main character and he's super popular right now due to his impression of... someone... but anyway it's kind of like Family Guy... but for kids... so it seems like something kids would love, adults would love... people that have had a baby recently would love. Lots of appeal for this movie... plus it's probably spring break for some colleges... and I probably would have seen this in college. I think this might slip a little with the release of the Smurfs movie... but I still think this will be in the top 3. Just looks like a funny movie that a lot of kids and grown ups would like... might even be a Birthday Party movie... it's got a lot going for it.

So that is everything! Hope you've enjoyed this Chart Chat!

Byeee!

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...

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...
