Chart Chat 8.4-8.6

Alrighty! Top 10 movies... I don't know what #1 is... so that's weird... but I'll find out. Lol.

10) Despicable Me 3- My favorite movie of the summer... also the only movie I've seen this summer. And I love it... I imagine it's leaving theaters soon- but I'd recommend seeing it.

9) War of The Planet of the Apes- Not my thing... but it could be someone's thing. This series of movies look more like my thing than other versions of Planet of The Apes... so that's good.

8) Detroit- I really like John Boyega...  I thought he was great in The Force Awakens... I'm excited that he's doing more than that... but this movie I think has already gotten some criticism... I'm not really sure what and I only half heard the review... but I'd imagine this is a hard movie to watch but a hard story to tell as well. I kind of want to watch it because of John Boyega... but I'm probably nor going to see it in theaters.

7) Atomic Blonde- This looks pretty awesome and Charlize Theron is really talented... I just think she's super cool and she sounded really excited about this movie and that's something I always like.

6) Spider Man Homecoming- I love spiderman. And It's kind of a sentimental movie for me now... which isn't really something I expected... but soon I'm going to go back and watch all the spider man movies. Idk if I'll get to see this... but I have a feeling it'll be in theaters for a while longer- so maybe I will! I love Spider Man... he's slowly becoming my favorite super hero... at least to watch in movie form. I think I still like Batman, The Hulk and Ghost Rider more... but I love Spider Man and I'm actually happy there are so many different spider men out there because they're all good and relevant... so that is awesome.

5) Kidnap- What a terrible name for a movie. Right? Not even Kidnapped... just Kidnap? That's some confusing Grammar right there. Maybe that's a plot twist and secretly Halle Berry is the kidnapper? That's unlikey... but it would kind of make the title a little better. I'm kind of over these kidnapper movies... I'm over Oscar winners in terrible movies... which will be coming up again in the #1 movie... lol. But I don't think this looks good. This is like an August movie for sure.

4) Girls Trip- This looks amazing. Amazingly funny cast... this is one of those movies people like so much that they're posting about it on Facebook a lot... which is awesome. It seems like a fun girl's night movie that you'll just have a good time seeing. Go see this one! I probably won't... but I'm going to tell everyone else to.

3) The Emoji Movie- I mentioned this a few times... not just in the chart chats... so I'll kind of skip over the actual plot of this movie and say: What's the deal with the Candy Crush Comeback? Right? Candy Crush is back here, it's back on the game show... they kind of mentioned it on Great News... It's just been all over the place. Side note: The Candy Crush Game Show is bad... I'm not a fan of Mario Lopez... I just feel like they're just playing Candy Crush on tv... and it's weird... so not my thing... but yeah.

2) Dunkirk- My grandfather would have loved to see this movie... so I'm happy for it's success and praise... I hope it gets nominated for an Oscar... and I want to see it for the sentimental reasons that I've been talking about sort of all over my blogs. It's a movie that if you're into history or War Movies- you'll probably like.

1) The Dark Tower- Ohhh okay this is the sci fi movie with Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey... I thought Tom Cruise was in this too but it's Tom Taylor. This would probably be better with Tom Cruise... but maybe not. I don't see this movie becoming a thing... and I think it was supposed to be and maybe it will now that it's number 1? Only made 19.5 million dollars... which is bad. Dunkirk made $50, 513, ,488 in it's opening weekend. The budget of TDT was an estimated 66,000,000... not too high... it'll make the money back worldwide I'm sure... but yeah... not great for opening weekend and this got bad reviews. I'd watch this because of Idris Elba... which I'm guessing is why people love it so much lol. 

Alright... so with that exciting/ not so exciting end... I'm going to leave you there. Let me know if you liked any of these movies, hated them... If Dunkirk will be nominated for an Oscar. If someone should just give Idris Elba an Oscar for being sexy... If you are Idris Elba and you want to date me or something... just let me know. Lol. 

Byeee!

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...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
