Chart Chat 5.22.17

Top 10 of the week! We've got a lot of new movies and an alien movie beat out another alien movie! Let's get right into it.

10) How To Be a Latin Lover- This movie made 29.5 million dollars in the 4 weeks it's been on the charts... including one week when I believe it was the #1 or #2 movie in the country. Not too bad... but the number 1 and number 2 movie this week both grossed over 30million this week alone... so that's something. Right? I was going to say "I guess people didn't want to be a latin lover that bad" but... it did make a lot of money anyway... so that's a thing. This is probably not going to be on the charts next week... so I just wanted to come up with something else interesting to say about it because the last four weeks I've been like "Yeah... Salma Hayak amiright?"

9) Beauty and The Beast- This movie has done pretty darn well! It is its 10th week on the charts and it has made in total 497.8 Million!!!! That's a lot of money! And I really loved this movie... a lot of people really loved this movie and it's one worth seeing in theaters... in 3d and in Imax if you can because I saw it in Imax 3d as well! It was really good... highly recommend!

8) The Boss Baby- This is probably on it's way off the charts... I thought this was a surprise hit... I think this type of movie would have annoyed my mom when I was a kid and it would annoy me if I were a mom I think... but other people like it and it made 166.2 Million in its 8 weeks on the charts... so expect Boss Baby 2... right?

7) The Fate of the Furious- This is the 6th week I've had to come up with something to say about this movie!!!! Hopefully it'll go away soon lol. Not my thing.

6) King Arthur: Legend of The Sword- I'm a little surprised this is so low on the charts this week even though it didn't do very well in it's opening week last week. Seems like it would be better... idk!

5) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul- This movie upset me a little bit... well the trailer kind of did. Alicia Silverstone is the mom... and I guess she's supposed to be like an uncool mom and they're stuck on a road trip with her... but she turns on The Spice Girls and the kids think of that as "old people music."... no. The Spice Girls were a big thing when I was little and Alicia Silverstone is a lot older than me. She was Batgirl when I was listening to the Spice Girl... she's not old but she isn't my age... and Spice Girls Isn't old people music!!!! Just ugh. This is kind of annoying.

4) Snatched- I hope I get to see this movie while it's still out. It looks funny... it doesn't look great... but I love Amy Schumer and I like Goldie Hawn a lot too. Death Becomes Her is a movie I would love to re-make... so this looks like a good one and I want to see it.

3) Everything, Everything- This movie looked really good! It looks like a cute love story... along the lines of the movie Bubble Boy... but Bubble Boy was pretty much not well received whereas this movie actually looks cute and watchable. I would choose seeing this over King Arthur or Fate of the Furious.

2) Guardians of The Galaxy Volume 2- Love Guardians... this looks like a really funny sequel. I haven't seen it yet, but I keep seeing the "I'm Mary Poppins" memes... it's so funny.

1) Alien: Covenant- Not a fan of the franchise... well okay I've never seen any of the movies... maybe I am a fan... doesn't sound like my thing though and I'm sure it'll be on the charts a lot more for me to have something to say about it.

So those are the charts! Hope you guys like it!

Byeeee!

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...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
