Chart Chat (1.30.18)

10) Padmaavat 1st week on the charts, 4.9 Million total 

This movie sounds pretty good... I haven't heard about it before! It is set in medieval Rajasthan and it is about a Sultan that is infatuated with the queen that is married to a noble king... I'm intrigued. I probably won't see this- I'm not sure if it is playing around me... but it sounds pretty fantastic!

9) Paddington 2 3rd week on the charts. 5.7 million this week, 32.1 million total  

This sounds like a very cute movie. I saw a youtube video that was sponsored by Paddington... but it seemed like the parents enjoyed the movie as much as their kids... and their kids ranged in ages... so even though it was sponsored... it sounded cute and it seems like a movie that everyone could actually enjoy.

8) The Shape of Water 9th week on the charts. 5.9 million this week 37.9 million total 

This received a bunch of Oscar nominations... despite it sounding... less than amazing in my opinion. Guillermo del Toro directed it and the cast is amazing... so I'm sure it's a fine movie... just maybe not my total cup of tea... I'd see it... but it seems weird.


7) Den of Thieves 2nd week on the chart. 8.6 million this week.28.8 million total 

This was one of those movies I was like "yeah... not my thing." I'm surprised it's dropped this far in the charts... but I'm not that surprised because like I said... never heard of this- not my thing. And I just think January is a bad time for movies... it's not the best time to see anything for sure.

6) 12 Strong 2nd week on the charts. 8.7 million this week. 29.8 million total 

Again... It's not the best time to see any movie that's not really nominated for anything. This sounds like an interesting story... the cast sounds good... but this isn't sweeping the charts or really getting people to see the movie in theaters. Chris Hemsworth and Michael Shannon are both good actors and they're in this... so it might be good... but it's nothing people seem to be that excited to see... I haven't heard any praise or criticism for this... so maybe it's bad- maybe it isn't... but I don't think this is what people are really looking for.

5) The Post 6th week on the charts. 9.1 million this week. 58.8 million total 

This has been on the charts for quite some time... and i believe it's been in the top 5 for most of the time? Maybe not... but this is a movie with an excellent cast and critical praise... nominated for several awards I believe as well... so that's pretty great. Yeah... not much I haven't said about this movie... it's been on the charts for 6 weeks... so yeah.

4) The Greatest Showman 6th week on the charts. 9.6 million this week. 126.5 million total 

I've talked about this movie a lot before too on the chart chats... but what I'm really hoping for this is that it kind of helps Zac Effron's Acting Career... because he isn't a bad actor... but I think he needs a little boost. He's been in some very unsuccessful movies... so maybe this will put him on the right track.

3) Hostiles 6 weeks on the charts.10.1 million this week. 12 million total. 
This movie kind of came out of no where... I'm guessing it's just been released in more theaters because it only made 2 million dollars in 5 weeks and all of a sudden it's at 10 million. It sounds like a good movie... it has Rosamund Pike and Christian Bale... who are both pretty great actors... just a weird thing where this just came out of no where and it's been on the charts forever and now it's the number 3 movie! Crazy!

2) Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle 6th week on the charts. 16.1 million this week. 337.8 million total.

This movie has been doing great... I think both with people actually seeing it and with it getting fairly good reviews. It's been number 1 on the charts for weeks now... just now slipping to number 2... this is the only thing out right now- so I guess that's why... but yeah. Seems like a good movie... I'm not too hyped to see this- but who knows. If I feel like seeing a movie maybe I will. I do love The Rock.

1) Maze Runner: The Death Cure 1st week on the charts! 24.2 million total. 

So let me kind of start out by saying I'm against this movie trilogy. I really liked the first movie- I thought it was wayyy better than the book... but the second movie was weirdly violent and had actual gun violence at a time when we don't really need to see kids with guns. I think that is kind of terrible and I wish that they had stuck with what the book did instead of what they ended up doing in the movie. I don't know why it didn't get totally panned because it was very violent... and this one looks just as violent if not more so... so it doesn't have my approval.

Also there was some controversy of the cast stealing ancient artifacts or something and that was disrespectful and they got in trouble for that... I forget what exactly happened... but yeah this just isn't my movie... I wouldn't recommend it either...

Sooo yeah. I hope everyone likes this little recap. Sorry for ending on a kind of bleak note... but that happens.

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...

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...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...
