Bruce Springsteen's Oscar Bait Biopic

Here we have yet another unnecessary music biopic. This time, It is Bruce Springsteen who tells us his life story, particularly the production of his sixth album Nebraska and his struggles with depression. Attach current "it" boy Jeremey Allen White to the picture as the lead, and you got yourself some Oscar bait.

The movie is nothing special. Like A Complete Unknown, it did a fine job at showing its interpretation of Springsteen's life. Strangely, this had in my opinion better direction than The Smashing Machine because it actually had some type of an idea of what aspect of Springsteen's life it wants to focus on. White did fine, I've never really seen him do a bad performance. Him and Strong (he'll always be Kendall Roy to me) were probably the best thing about the movie, their chemistry was really sweet.

As for the negatives; what was the point of Faye's character? She is not even a real person and it is to my understanding that Springsteen himself is married. Yes he was not married at the time of Nebraska's production and release, but it would make more since to me to completely scrap the romance storyline all together as it adds nothing to Springsteen's story. With all due respect to the actress, she did not need to be there.

The movie is passable at best. Thanks For Reading.

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...
