A Complete Final Review

I’m not really a fan of Bob Dylan. I’ve got nothing against him or anything, I’ve just never particularly cared for his music with the exception of one song (Make You Feel My Love, and even that is mainly because of Adele). With that being said, Hollywood is relying a little too much on biopics lately, especially this year given 2 not-so-great ones were released early 2024 (Back To Black and Bob Marley: One Love). So when a biopic about Dylan was announced, I was underwhelmed. So on Christmas, the Dylan centered biopic lead by Timothée Chalamet , A Complete Unknown was finally released.

The movie was fine, that’s pretty much it. I wasn’t amazed nor was I disappointed by it. It did what it needed to do, it showed its interpretation of his life and did it relatively decently. Dylan is a very strange dude, that’s my impression of him after watching this movie. I won’t deny that he’s talented, but also very strange, which I think is part of his charm as an artist. Chalamet did a good job, but that’s not really much of a surprise. The only other people who really stood out aside from him were Norton, Fanning, and Barbaro. The music sequences were very good, I honestly was unaware that Chalamet did his own singing. I’m very impressed by that (which says a lot considering I hate when non-singers try to sing). Not really a lot of negatives to be honest.

It’s a decent film, just nothing amazing in my opinion. This is my last review of the year and part 1 of my movies of 2024 will be released most likely next week (or later this week). Thanks For Reading and Happy New Year!

So.......The Bride😕

So I was completely off-track with The Bride . Did not expect the film to crash and burn as hard as it did with both critics AND the box-office. After getting murdered, a woman by the name of Ida is brought back to life with the intention of being a companion to the oh-so iconic Frankenstein. And together they wreck havoc. Like Wuthering Heights , the movie wasn't terrible but it had a lot of problems. The biggest issue with this film is that it tries way too hard to be edgy and it just doesn't work. It wanted to be this hardcore feminist take on Frankenstein , but it just felt convoluted and slightly underwritten. It had this plotline involving Ida causing some revolution for women and did pretty much nothing with it until the last minute. It was kind of a let down. The best thing about the movie however was the performances and chemistry between Buckley and Christian Bale. I thought they were strangely endearing, and this might be a better love story than Wuthering Heights (...

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...
