Chart Chat: 7.2.17

Alrighty! I saw the number one movie of the week this week... and I have thoughts of the other movies... so I'm excited to share this Chart Chat with everyone!

10) Pirates of The Carribean: Dead Men Tell No Tales- 6 weeks on the top 10 list... not too bad for the end of the series... presumably. I think Johnny Depp has a lot of fun with these movies, and they're doing really well... so I'd be a little surprised if this was the end of these. I don't think this is the highest grossing POTC... but I'm guessing it'll still do really great worldwide.

9) The Mummy- 74.5 million in the US so far and it's 4th week on the charts... not great considering the budget of the movie was 125 million. It'll do really well worldwide... and I think that's how the rest of the Universal Dark Universe will be... unless they strike gold with The Invisible Man... which I could see happening and I kind of hope it does. I'd be more excited if they kind of embraced the camp of these older monster movies... kind of like the Brendan Frasier Mummy Movies or the Dark Shadows movie. I don't think that's the direction they're going in... but who knows. Maybe it'll get good. Everyone was kind of against the DC movies, but Wonderwoman is still such a hit and performing AMAZING on the charts still!

8) Beguiled- I don't think this was on the charts last week... but it's been out for 2 weeks. I would watch the hell out of this. Lol. I just saw the trailer and it looks fantastic. It's a thriller set during the Civil War and directed by Sophia Coppola... who I love! So... yeah. I think I'm going to try to read the book. It has a lot of stars, Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Elle Fanning, Kirsten Dunst... it looks awesome.

7) 47 Meters Down- This is another movie I feel like I'd like to watch. Mostly because I just really like Mandy Moore. She's such an underrated actress and I'm happy that she's on This is Us now. She's just great! This looks like a great thriller too. Lots of Independent Thrillers out this summer.

6) The House- Surprised this is so low on the list. I feel like they've been pushing this movie forever. It looks really funny to me. I think Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler had fun working together... they interviewed each other on the CBS Morning Show. Jason Mantzoukas is also hilarious and underrated... I think this looks funny. A little similar to Old School and almost a comic take on Breaking Bad. It looks funny enough and maybe I'll see this. I will at some point.

5) Cars 3 - I haven't seen this yet... I haven't seen all of Cars 2. I do know the end of the movie... Disney World has a Meet n Greet that kind of spoils it... but I think everyone kind of knew that was going to happen anyway. I think this looks like a good movie. I think Cars is a little underrated. I didn't love it at first... but it was fun. Cars 2... not very good... but this one looks quite good.

4) Wonder Woman- 5 weeks on the Charts and Outperforming movies that came out less than 5 weeks ago... that's pretty awesome. I've said before- I wasn't expecting much of this movie... but I've heard so many positive things... it makes me want to see what the hype is about.

3) Transformers: The Last Knight Not my thing... and then they added Mark Wahlberg and I feel like it's less my thing. So... yeah.

2) Baby Driver- This movie is getting a lot of hype right now... and i want to see this. Ansel Elgort is someone I have a crush on... I actually had a dream that he did drive me around a few years ago... maybe I was predicting the success of this movie? Lol. It looked like it could go either way... but it's been getting great reviews. Ansel Elgort is going places! Lol.

1) Despicable Me 3- I loved this movie! This is my review on it. I'm super impressed with how great it was... I'm a little sad that I think this will be the final Despicable Me... at least Steve Carell said he isn't planning on doing any more... which makes me so sad. But I was happy they did make a 3rd movie... and I loved everything going on in this one. So, so good! I have nothing bad to say about minions or Despicable Me.

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...
