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!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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...
