Burlesque

Movie

Cher and Christina Aguilera star in this show about a night club that is running out of money. It's got other famous people like Stanley Tucci, Peter Gallagher, Kristen Bell, Alan, Cummings, Cam Gigandet, Julianne Hough, Dianna Argon, and Eric Dane. With all these talented people, I don't think it was well received. It has a 36 on Rotten Tomatoes... I only bought my copy in the $5 bin at Walmart... But I loved it!

The other day I went to a show at Tuacahn in St. George and ever since then I've been listening to all of my favorite musicals. When I got home from this trip to St. George, I had one last day off before starting back on my grueling work week. I decided to watch a bunch of musicals and since my movies are organized alphabetically Burlesque came up first. Now this wasn't the kind of musical I had in mind at first but when I saw it, I decided that it was just what I needed.

This show has classic songs like Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend, along with some originals sung by both Cher and Christina. Cher even won a Golden Globe for her song You Haven't Seen the Last of Me. I didn't know about the win at the time but it is my favorite song in the show so I was pretty excited to hear about the win.

The movie is just fun! Christina plays a country girl who moves to LA for fame and success and she at least finds her place as a singer and makes friends who become like family. It's a cliche story but the music and the people make it worth watching. I really do watch this movie a lot.

The Hating Game

Lucy Hale is enough to sell this movie to me. But it was really good anyway. A little predictable but that's not surprising for a rom com. The fun thing about this movie is that it really has a real rivalry. And takes place in publishing. Is publishing that big of a deal? There seem to be a lot of movies and TV shows around publishing. But it's about this small, cute, sweet book publisher who merges with a bigger, stiffer, more capitalist book publisher. And then the teams war against each other. So a lot of it is about the work rivalry but it is also about Lucy and Austin Stowell and how they interact together. It's cute. I would totally watch it if I were you.

You

TV show Psychological thriller if there ever was one! Penn Badgley plays the perfect insane character! He's got this look that just scares the crap out of me! The main girl is amazing too but she's nothing compared to Penn. Shay Mitchell is also one of my favorite people from her Pretty Little Liars days. She also plays her character well and I love her. The story has enough real life to make it believable but also enough crazy to well make it crazy. This isn't going to be a long post because only season 1 is on Netflix so there is only 10 episodes but I think they're still going because IMDB has 2 seasons and they left it open. So I will wait patiently for the next installment because I like Penn anyway but this is a new level for him.

Baby is real

I think I felt the baby move. It was very trippy. But very cool as well. We also found out recently that it's a girl. I'm having a baby girl. Now that I'm showing and feeling it and can shop for it, it all seems more real. This isn't going to be a long post because there isn't a lot to say. I'm really not doing much but growing a human is enough for me I guess. So we've started shopping. We have a crib, a bassinet and some artwork for the nursery. Also we just have a bunch of cute clothes. Not anything real big although she's going to be born in winter. The next step is a carseat stroller combo. Any suggestions? Basically I want just a bunch of black or grey onsies for her easy clothes and then sweats and leggings to wear over them.
