Glen Powell Surprised Me

Hit Man is a black comedy released in Venice last year before it was made available to Netflix a few weeks ago. Hollywood's new leading man Glen Powell portrays a college professor who also serves as a hit man for the New Orleans Police Department. Things get relatively complicated when he meets a woman he's supposed to bust and falls in love with her.

This is a very good movie. I was pleasantly surprised by how sophisticated (albeit slightly risqué) the writing was. It was very smooth and had several unexpected turns as well. Glen Powell was very good in this. Given the different type of characters he has to portray in this, I was impressed by how well he pulled off each disguise. I was even more surprised that he pulled off Gary Johnson's real identity. Gary's a nerd, and doesn't know how attractive he is until he becomes a hit man. I cannot believe I actually found Powell believable as a nerd as well as the other personas. His chemistry with Adria Arjona was also good. And lastly, I liked Austin Amelio as Jasper (the jerkface who originally had Gary's job). He was a very good antagonist.

There's not really a lot of negatives in this movie to be honest. I highly recommend it. Thanks For Reading.

Last Minute Music Reviews

So here are some last minute reviews of songs that I've heard over the past few months that did not reach #1; Where Is My Husband - Raye This is incredibly fun and strangely catchy. While this is not officially a jazz song, this obviously has jazz influence and it works very well for this song. I will go ahead and admit that this is my introduction to Raya, I have not listened to Oscar Winning Tears . So far, I'm intrigued. Midnight Sun - Zara Larsson This song is kind of AWESOME. Not only is the production GORGEOUS, but it also has a very nice hook that goes smoothly with Larsson's voice. My sister actually recommended this song to me and I see why. Larsson does currently have a Grammy nomination for this. She's gonna lose, but I'm glad this song got recognized. If my sister see's this, thank you. How It's Done - Huntrix (From KPop Demon Hunters ) I have been meaning to review this for a while, but I kept getting lazy. Like Golden , this song has g...

What The Hell Did I Even Watch!?!🤣

I think ever since Lady Gaga's performance in A Star Is Born , musicians have been trying to jump in on the band wagon. The Weekend is one of those musicians who's trying, and failing miserably. First he tried with The Idol , and we all saw how that crashed and burned. And now he decided to turn his newest album Hurry Up Tomorrow into a movie, where he plays a fictionalized version of himself. Oh yeah, Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan are in this too. The Weekend is obviously on this vendetta to prove to people that he can act, and it's getting kind of pathetic. The movie is just.....not good. There's barely even a plot, it's just an elongated music video that involves The Weekend crying too much. Now, I will give him some credit for actually trying this time (unlike in The Idol ). But unfortunately, instead of coming off as a troubled musician, this felt like I was watching one of the 3-5 year-olds my mom deals with at her job. I'm aware that this movie was in...
