Chart Chat: 5/29/17

10) Beauty and the Beast- Number 10 this week in it's 11th week on the charts! Not too bad! It has been out since St. Patrick's day... just for reference so that is a long time! I'm guessing it will be out of theaters next week- so see this one while you can. It was really good and I'm excited for the Blu Ray to come out!

9) The Boss Baby- This is the 9th week on the charts for the surprise hit: Boss Baby. I'm guessing this will be out of theaters soon as well... so catch it while you can... it looked obnoxious to me... but what do I know- people loved this and must have seen it multiple times!

8)King Arthur: Legend of the Sword- This has been out for 3 weeks... not doing great domestically... but I bet it will be international soon and these types of action movies seem to do really well in other countries. So that's good... it is still kind of a flop... and it probably won't be at the movies much longer... but it'll do okay.

7) Snatched- Another movie I thought would do a little bit better... it didn't get number 1 the week it came out because of Guardians of The Galaxy... but this looked like a funny movie you could watch with your mom. It seems like the concept has been done before... but still. Goldie Hawn and Amy Schumer... how can you go wrong.

6) Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul-  This movie looked pretty bad... and Diary of a Wimpy Kid movies usually come out in August when nothing is out... so the early release date has me a little bit skeptical about this summer's blockbuster movies... but I'm sure it's still good for the age group that likes Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

5) Everything, Everything- This movie looked pretty good... but something I don't have a ton of interest in. 2 weeks on the charts... it'll probably be around for a while longer!

4) Alien: Covenant- Not really my cup of tea... so yeah. Glad we don't have to talk about The Fate of the Furious at least!

3) Baywatch- Sandy Kenyon described this as "The worst movie to come out this year" so far... and this is a year when some movies have been crappy... so that surprises me. I would still see this movie... Dwayne The Rock Johnson is one of those actors I pretty much like in any movie he's in. And I haven't seen some of the more action-y movies of his obviously... but he's an entertaining actor and I would pay the price of admission to see him in a movie. Lol.

2) Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2- Surprisingly I love Guardians of The Galaxy as much as I dislike a lot of similar action movies... this is really funny and a lot of fun. The new Guardians of the Galaxy ride at Disneyland looks like tons of fun too! It's just so clever... and the soundtrack is the best.

1) Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Men Tell No Tales- I didn't love the last 2 Pirates of the Carribean movies... but I think this movie tried to recapture the fun of the first 2 a little bit... and I'm excited to see it either way. The first 2 movies I'll pretty much always watch when they're on... so hopefully I'll get to see this one and it'll be at least somewhat comparable.

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...
