Chart Chat 6.19.17

Lotta new movies on this list this week... not exactly where I thought they would be either... but there's a lot of good stuff out there right now... so let's see what's going on!

10) It Comes at Night- This movie looked bad... I think this will be the last week at the charts... it's probably not bad... but I couldn't get what it was about from the trailer and it was a horror movie that looked scary enough but... meh.

9) Guardians of The Galaxy Volume 2 - Ugh I hope this is staying on the charts next week because maybe I'll actually get to see it. I love Guardians and I know by the time I review it it won't really be relevant... but it's a good series... so I bet it'll be good and people will love it. Hopefully it's just as funny as the first!

8) Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie- This looks really funny... I can kind of see why it isn't all that high in the charts! The other day at the mall a little girl saw the movie poster and got all excited and told her mom "Look Captain Underpants! It's for girls and boys!" And the mom just looked like she really didn't want to take her to see it at all. It's probably the same  reason I didn't really think Boss Baby looked all that great... but I think this looks more unique. The animation reminds me of the Charlie Brown Movie... which I really liked. So I would definitely check this out when it's on tv. It has a character named Professor Poopypants... how could you not want to see that!

7) Rough Night- I'm surprised this is so low on the charts... it's got a ton of stars in it... and it just looked like something a lot of people would really like. I think it looks funny... maybe not the best movie ever...but certainly funny.

6) Pirates of The Carribean: Dead Men Tell No Tales- Surprised to see this low on the charts... but it is also kind of high on the charts... considering that it is in front of at least one new movie this week. so... mehh? Lol. I have some Nostalgia for the Pirates movies... but sometimes I feel like the franchise has peaked and now it's just not the same as the Pirates I knew and loved. I'd like to see just a solo Jack Sparrow movie... I feel like they have enough to do an origin story or something... I know this does have a lot of flashbacks for Jack Sparrow in it... but I think it'd be cool to just see something like Logan buy Sparrow or something like that... only not Logan. Lol.

5) 47 Meters Down- I want to see this. It looks really scary and Mandy Moore is in it... I love most things with Mandy Moore in it... she's one of those actresses I feel like I'll always watch and she's worth paying the price of the ticket for. Like Cameron Diaz I've seen in a lot of movies and I think she usually makes the movie... one of those things! I think I'd like this!

4) The Mummy- Tom Cruise's not so well reviewed start to Universal's Dark Universe is behind 2 new movies... and the number 1 movie of the last couple weeks... but it did get ahead of 2 new movies... so it's not doing bad. This is said to do great worldwide... so that's probably going to be the trend of the Dark Universe movies... but yeah. I liked the Brendon Frasier movies... I'm mostly excited that they have a collection of those movies on Blu Ray at Target... but yeah!

3) All Eyez On Me- This sounds like a really interesting story... but the movie itself doesn't look all that great. Jada Pinkett Smith was good friends with Tupac before she married Will Smith... and she said that she thought that her memories of Tupac were too precious for this movie's depiction of the 2. The movie is about Tupac, btw lol. Sandy Kenyon said you might like it if you liked Straight Outta Compton and he kind of liked it... but thought that there was too much about Tupac's life to be captured in just one movie.

2) Wonder Woman- This is the first week not at #1... what I think is the surprise hit of the summer... I don't think it was a surprise to anyone else... but Wonder Woman! Still holding strong at #2! I have to say I want to see it more and more now... still don't think I'll see it in theaters... but it does look good enough to watch on TV. I'm a little skeptical still because I feel like they aren't going to do Justice to Wonderwoman... idk. It's the fist Female Superhero movie... it is something to watch out for!

1) Cars 3- Cars 3! I love Pixar movies... Cars and Cars 2 are not my favorite Pixar movies... I haven't even seen all of Cars 2... but I am watching Cars now... and it's not bad. I forgot a lot about it... so I'm glad to be watching it again...haven't heard much about Cars 3... I doubt it will be as good as Cars... but it still looks good! If you saw my "Pixar movies ranked by teasers" this was number 2 on the list... so I'm curious to see how it stacks up!

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...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
