Chart Chat! 10/22/17

10) Kingsman: The Golden Circle- I would imagine this movie is ending it's run on the charts shortly if not by next week. I feel like there are SOOOO many great horror movies out this year that it's hard to choose this one above those movies at this time of year... but Colin Firth... so yeah.

9) American Made- Again... I was a little surprised this never got to the top of the charts... but I'm surprised to see it on the charts for so long. I don't know too much about this movie other than Tom Cruise, Jayma Mays and the bad guy from the last year of Breaking Bad... but yeah. Again... probably wouldn't recommend this over It or Happy Death Day if you want to see a movie coming soon... but maybe this is good.

8) The Snowman- This is a horror movie that looks pretty good. Again I don't know too much about it... but I thought it looked scary and I want to see it. I'm sure reviews aren't amazing... but to me it looked interesting.

7) It- From what I understand- this movie is closer to the book than the original movie. So if you really liked the book or if you're a big fan of Stephen King I would say you'll probably like this movie a lot. I've heard a lot of people say Stephen King Movies are better than the books... I haven't seen a lot of movies or a lot of books... to be honest I wasn't crazy about what I saw of The Shining, I kind of like feminist discussions of Carrie... but the movie is a little bit long and hard to watch. I didn't really like the original It (aside from Tim Curry... who is wonderful) so... I'm curious to see how I'd react to these.

6) The Foreigner- Okay I think I said last week that I'd look this up and give a better description last week... it's an action movie with Jackie Chan. It said "Cat and Mouse" type of thing... It sounds good.If you're looking for an action movie- this sounds better to me than Blade Runner or Kingsman.

5) Only The Brave- This is about firefighters in a wildfire... timely and it has a good cast. So... something different.

4) Blade Runner 2049 - Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford are in this... yet somehow I have no interest.

3) Happy Death Day-  The more I see previews for this the more I want to see it. It looks scary but that's a good way to tell a scary story.

2) Geostorm- This is a science fiction movie... surprised it's so high on the charts with Halloween coming up soon.

1) Tyler Perry's Boo 2: A Madea Halloween- And Tyler Perry as number 1. I would be a little surprised if a regular Tyler Perry movie was number 1... not surprised that a Madea movie is number 1... so yeah. This is a fun one to see probably... I've never seen a Madea movie. Tyler Perry doesn't screen his movie to critics... so I'm not sure.

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...
