Chart Chat 5.15.17

Alrighty! Top 10 movies! Can Snatched with Amy Schumer or the movie with Charlie Hunam that needs no plot because Charlie Hunam is in it beat Guardians of the Galaxy? Nope! Spoilers.

10) Bauhubali 2: The Conclusion- This did pretty well in the US for a foreign film. It's the third week on the charts and it's been slipping since then... doesn't sound like my cup of tea... but it's probably better than Ghost in The Shell right? The movie at least... I might try watching animae sometime.

9) The Circle- This has a very low rating on Rotten Tomatoes according to my mom... I still want to see it. Maybe it's predictable or just not what everyone was expecting... gotta admit that is one exciting cast though! I hope they do more movies together. Lol.

8) Lowriders- First week on the charts off to a bad start! Based on the IMDB description this actually kind of interests me. It's about a street artist and his relationship with his father and his brother who is in trouble with the law... idk. I kind of like things that include street artists... so that makes me a little bit interested in this even though it's probably not something I would really like at all... we'll see. If it's on netflix maybe I'll watch it. Ohhh Eva Longoria is in this too I think... Yes! Okay... I don't think I'll go out of my way to see this in theaters- but it doesn't sound bad.

7) How To Be A Latin Lover- This has probably been on the charts for too long. I think Salma Hayak is really funny. Rob Lowe is also pretty funny... I'm not going out of my way to see this one... probably not even when it's on tv but you know... always going to route for Salma Hayak!

6) Beauty and The Beast- Still in the Top 10! It's been out for almost 2 months!!!! Way to go Disney on this one. It was a great, magical movie... highly recommend checking it out while it is still out.

5) The Boss Baby- Man this movie just came out at the right time. Right? I feel like other times of year maybe this wouldn't have done as well... maybe families wouldn't have liked it much... but it did so well! I'll probably go out of my way to watch this on tv just because I've been talking about it FOREVER now! Lol.

4) The Fate of The Furious- Cool... this is still on the charts... we all know how much I love action movies and cars.

3) King Arthur: Legend of The Sword- This has been a buzzed about movie for quite some time... and I had a feeling it was going to tank. It made 14.7 million this weekend... it cost 175 million to make... so that is disappointing. I'm sure this movie will do well worldwide... but this is something like Battleship or John Carter of Mars where it's like... does anyone really need to see this movie? Does anyone even want to see it? It's just not going to be on the charts very long... thank goodness because aside from Charlie Hunam... I have little to say about this movie.

2) Snatched- Goldie Hawn's big screen comeback! I have to say- I'm thrilled about her comeback. She is just really fun to watch on interviews and stuff and I just think she has some great stories. I'm also a big fan of Amy Schumer... I'll probably see this movie... but I'm not as excited about this as I am about the #1 movie right now... which is the same as last week.

1) Guardians of the Galaxy- Look at Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn! They're the most successful couple in Hollywood right now with their 2 movies at the top of the charts! That is pretty cool. I love Guardians and this just looks like such a great and interesting sequel. It's cool that we will be meeting Starlord's father... and I'm excited to hear the soundtrack!

Byeee!

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...

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
