Regina George Gone Cuckoo


So I did mention in my "Releases For January" post that I was slightly conflicted on whether or not I wanted to see this movie. Obviously judging by this review, I went ahead and saw it. Send Help centers on Linda Liddle, a submissive strategist who finds herself stuck on a deserted island with her douchebag boss.

The movie was insane in the best way. Not only was it very thrilling, but It was also self-aware.  The film did not take itself too seriously, it knows it's campy and it knows it's silly. Rachel McAdams was lovably unhinged in this and her dynamic with Dylan O'Brien (who was an absolute JERK in this) was very well done. One thing I really liked about their dynamic is that it was NOT a haters-to-lovers story. It would've been easy for the film to go that route, but instead this shows what we all would like to do to a horrible boss. O'Brien was basically forced to treat McAdams with respect and it was very well deserved. His downfall was very satisfying while her uprising felt earned. Neither of their arcs felt forced, they were both natural.

The action, thrills and scares of this film were also good. They were well paced and very suspenseful. This movie also got extremely gross at times. There were some gross-out moments that were over-the-top, but not to the point were it damaged the movie. I've heard complaints about the ending, though I personally did not take issue with the film's resolution.

But yeah I liked Send Help. Highly recommend it. 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...
