Chart Chat! 9.25.17

Heyyy guys! I'm a little surprised at this week's charts... I know it was a tough call what would be number 1... and I'm not that surprised at number 1... but I'm a little surprised at number 3... so I'm just going to get into it and we'll talk a little bit about these movies!

10) Wind River- This has been on the charts for 8 weeks! I don't believe it's ever been at number 1 in those 8 weeks... it sounds okay but it could also maybe be bad IMHO... I'll watch it on TV if I get super bored...but I'm not that interested.

9) Stronger- This movie does sound very interesting. Jake Gyllenhaal has already got some Oscar Buzz for this role ... I want to see this. It looks sad though but the actors are very talented and I think they'll do a great job with it! This is based off of a true story- I mentioned that in the weekly Pop. This still isn't wide released... so I think it will do a lot better in upcoming weeks.

8) The Hitman's Body Guard- This has been on the top 10 charts for 6 weeks... and it's been holding kind of steady for a few weeks... it was number 1 on the charts for the first 3 weeks of it's run and it was still in the top 5 the last couple of weeks... so although this has fallen on the charts- it probably did better than it should have. I don't think this is exactly a hit movie- I can't imagine it being anyone's favorite movie ever or becoming a cult classic or anything... but 3 weeks at number 1 isn't bad! 5 weeks on the top 5 isn't bad and 6 weeks in the top 10 isn't bad either... so yeah.

7) Friend Request- This looks like a cheesey horror movie based on the digital age... I'm a little done with those... once you've seen one- you've seen them all right. Either way- in the top 7... first week on the charts... not the first horror movie I'd see out of all the options out right now... but still... this is a movie.

6) mother! - So this is getting pretty terrible reviews and buzz from that. I've heard it's really disturbing- I've heard it's pretty funny... I want to see it because of all this weird buzz around it. It is not the new Rosemary's Baby from what I can tell... but I think it tried to be... and yeah. I have no idea what to say about this one!

5) Home Again- This movie looked cute. Not the best movie ever... probably something that has been done before in a more interesting way... but nothing else is really out and I like Reese Witherspoon... so it might be worth seeing!

4) American Assassin- Again... this movie doesn't sound too interesting to me... but it might be... idk. I'm not sure what it's about.

3) The Lego Ninjago movie- This looks so funny! I want to see this one. I don't know that much about Ninjago... but this looks really cute and super funny. I liked The Lego Movie- didn't see Batman... want to see this one... I expected this to be #1 this weekend... so this is what surprised me... but its still good.

2) It- This looked scary... but as I've said before... don't think it's as scary as the original and I wasn't really scared by the original... I do think this movie needed a remake and it seems everyone was really excited for it... so there you go!

1) Kingsman: Golden Circle- I didn't see all of the first Kingsman movie... but I liked what I saw of it... so I was disappointed that this one got such bad reviews... I'll have to check Rotten Tomatoes, because Sandy Kenyon gave this a bad review- but maybe regular people on Rotten Tomatoes like it... 50% so it's on the green side... not horrible but mother actually has a red 63% tomato... so... there's that. 75% of audience members liked it so that is pretty good.



Alright guys! Hope you guys like this!

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...

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...

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...
