Chart Chat: April 21st-23rd 2018

So here's the weekend box office results! The top 10 movies in the United States... so yeah! Here we go!

10) The Lost City of Z- This does not sound like it's going to be a fun week for me at all... ohhh boy. I have no idea what this movie is about... I'm going to venture a guess it's something I have no interest in seeing... let's see...

Ohhh okay... Who care's what it's about- something about a lost city in the 1920s... but it stars Charlie Hunham... so that's definitely worth watching. Doesn't seem to be doing well at all. This is week 2 and it wasn't on the charts last week... so we'll see what happens with this? It must have been a film festival movie or a foreign movie because it says 2016... so yeah. Idk about this one... but it's a thing.

9) The Promise- Another film festival movie... goody! My favorites... this is about the Ottoman Empire or something and there is a love triangle or something. Christian Bale in it... so yeah.

8) Gifted- This one I would probably watch. Maybe when it's on tv I'll check it out. It doesn't sound all that interesting, but it has a lot of stars that I really like in it. Chris Evans and Jenny Slate dated after they met in this movie... so that's something that might be interesting to watch. I don't know... it sounds good but it's not something I'm that interested in.

7) Unforgettable- This movie sounds terrible! There was a movie like this with Beyonce... and that didn't get good reviews... so if Beyonce can't save this movie... Kathrine Heigl definitely can't. Also... Katherine Heigl is difficult to work with because she's kind of a perfectionist... so she might be talented... but she often insults or refuses to promote movies she's in, like Knocked Up- she said that was a sexist movie and then she didn't really get work again after that... This sounds like its more sexist than Knocked up. Idk... Katherine Heigl seems nice but awkward when she's on The Chew... and I think she's probably a good person... and I feel sad that she can't get work... but this probably isn't a good movie.

6) Smurfs: The Lost Village- Looks cute... feel weird going to a kids cartoon as an adult... but I'm thinking it might be on Netflix... so maybe I'll watch it. I like this cartoon surf thing.

5) Going In Style- Looks funny... bad reviews... not my usual cup of tea... but I think it looks good and I will probably watch it when its on tv.

4) Born in China - I always kind of want to see the Disney Nature movies... this one looks really different and I appreciate the filmmakers that make this. The movie reviewer on ABC New York mentioned how difficult it was for them to capture some things.

3) Beauty and The Beast- Loved this movie! Even better than the cartoon... I hope Disney continues this with their remakes... I have a feeling I will like the Little Mermaid more than the cartoon because of Lin Manuel Miranda. So yes- good stuff here!

2) Boss Baby- Alec Baldwin is really killin it right now, huh? This is the 4th week in the top 2 movies! That is pretty awesome. I know it's a slow week this week... but that is still pretty cool!

1) The Fate of The Furious - I'm sure this will break all sorts of records and do really well at the box office... I don't care all that much.

Slow week... but it's still good stuff to know!
Byeee!

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...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...
