Rental Family & Hamnet

Both off these movies I heard about earlier this year, and I did not receive access to them until recently. Rental Family stars Brendan Fraser as an American actor in Japan who's hired by a rental family agency and gets a little too attached to his clients. Based on the novel of the same name, Hamnet is a fictionalized retelling of the Shakespeare family's lives and the creation/production of Hamlet.


Rental Family

Rental Family was actually pretty good. It did surprisingly make me laugh and had some incredibly sweet moments. Fraser did a good job but Akira Emoto was probably my favorite. Not only was he hilarious, but he also almost made me cry 😭. I was not super impressed with the movie (honestly I did not think I would be anyway), but I did not leave disappointed either.


Hamnet
This Movie Was SOOOOO GOOOOOD! And I did not think I would be terribly impressed with this either, but literally 5 mins into the movie I was intrigued. Jessie Buckley was without a doubt the standout in this. She acted her BUTT OFF! Paul Mescal broke my heart (JERK😡), and Hamnet himself (Jacobi Jupe) was so SWEET! The dynamic between the Shakespeare family was also something I really enjoyed about the movie. It was so sweet and so HEARTBREAKING! And yes Buckley and Mescal's chemistry was top tier, and I appreciate that it was not overly reliant on sex (though there was one scene). Loved This Movie!

Thanks For Reading

American Idol 2025 Thoughts: Day 1

  American Idol  has officially reached its live shows so that means it's time to start the commentaries. For those of you who didn't track these last year, here's an explanation; I will be saying my thoughts on the contestants and their performances. In typical 'me' fashion, I will rank each performance to #1. But unlike my normal lists, this will be from worst to best.  This will be starting the following week as today is just an introduction. Our Top 24 has been chosen and they are as follows;     Canaan James Hill (Platinum)             Gabby Simone  Zaylie Windsor                         Mattie Pruitt  Thunderstorm Artis                  Drew Ryn  Che                                     ...

American Idol 2025 Day 2: Top 24

  I would like to say that for the first week of live shows, a good majority of contestants either did REALLY good or better than they should have. I personally was very impressed with the last 2 days. With that being said, I still gotta rank. Today I will be ranking every single performance from worst to best. This ranking is solely based on my opinion. If you have not read last week's introduction, I highly suggest you read that first before this ranking;   Worst Performance Of The Week:  Baylee Littrell Happy - Pharrell This really kills me. Not sure what he was thinking with this song choice #23: Josh King I'm Still Standing - Elton John Him and Baylee equally sucked. But at least this song was more in Josh's league #22: Olivier Bergeron   I'm Not Okay - Jelly Roll He's kind of bland to me #21: Desmond Roberts Do I Do - Stevie Wonder Needs to calm down a little #20: John Foster Callin' Baton Rouge - Various Also kind of bland #19: Kyana Fanene I Am - St...

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...
