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!

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...
