Chart Chat 7.11.17

To the movies!!!

10) The Beguiled- This looks scary... and I mentioned this last week. I think I want to see this with my sister... probably when it comes out on DVD or Blu Ray because... it's something she would like too... I'll have to ask her if she read the book. I love Sophia Coppola as a director... and I think this movie just looks good.

9) 47 Meters Down- I've talked about this before... I don't have a lot to say about it... but it sounds exciting and I want to see it because I like Mandy Moore. I could watch her in just about anything... she's fantastic... this seems like a more intense movie for her- and I'm excited to see her in that kind of role.

8) The Big Sick- I'm surprised this is so high on the charts considering that it hasn't been released worldwide yet... this looks great! I really want to see this... I might see it on Friday. It's Kumail Nanjiani's real life story. Michael Showalter is awesome and he is directing it... I'm excited for this one and I think everyone should be. I'm guessing this will quickly jump up the charts... maybe not to number 1 but this is a good sign. This is going to be a summer hit!

7) The House- This looked really funny... I love the cast. Feels like it's been done before... but this looks like a fun spin... idk. I'd watch it at some point, but I don't think this will be in theaters much longer and probably not on the charts for much longer either!

6) Cars 3- This movie will probably do even better in merchandise than it's doing in theaters... and I think it was on the top 5 most of it's run... so that's pretty well that it's still going strong. *Spoilers* Lightening McQueen may not have won the Piston Cup in this race... but he certainly has won everyone's hearts in this franchise!

5) Transformers: The Last Knight- Ughhhh... why is this still on the charts????? I can't with Transformers. One day, maybe I'll try. I did try with the first 2 movies... honestly I don't think the first was even that bad... just not my thing. The second was a little worse... and then there's just too much Shia Lebeouf.

4) Wonder Woman- This movie isn't going anywhere- is it? I still need to see this... it still isn't one I'm super ready to see. It's not the movie I want to see the most... I forgot how into Spider Man I was... so I really want to see the new Spider man... but yeah. Want to see this... it was never really at the top of my list... and maybe I'm a bad feminist or something... but it's one I think I can wait for.

3) Baby Driver- This one I want to see... Ansel Elgort, right????? I follow him on Instagram because I like him... hehehe. Anyway he's a good actor and this looks like a great cast and a good movie.

2) Despicable Me 3- I loved this movie!!! I want to see it again and again... I love the minions. They are my favorite... I just watched the first Despicable Me again this weekend... idk. I think I like these just as much. Great movies... I can't see how sooo many people don't love these. Lol.

1) Spider Man: Homecoming- I was a little over Spider Man because it keeps getting re-booted... and none of the other versions are even bad enough to have been dropped so quickly. I just watched The Amazing Spider Man 2 this weekend- that's the one with Andrew Garfield... that shouldn't have ended as abruptly as it did. Spider Man 3... I can kind of see why that was dropped... but I also kind of think it's one of my favorite Spider Man movies... lol. I know there's a lot wrong with it... as soon as I get these DVDs back to wear I can easily reach them... I will do a Throwback Thursday on the Toby Macguire Spiderman movies and re-review them... but Spider Man 3 really isn't as bad as people make it out to be. It probably isn't as good as I'm making it out to be either... half of the movie is Mary Jane and James Franco making an omelet and dancing... there's also a good chunk of the movie dedicated to MJ's acting career... wtf is that about? Lol. Anyway- I'm excited for this new take on Spider Man... and I want to see it even though it still feels too soon.

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...
