Movie


This movie came to Jennifer Hudson very soon after getting kicked off American Idol. It was probably a better pathway anyway. She played the better singer to Beyoncé. I'm actually very impressed that Bey was fine with JHud playing the better voice... I would have thought she was too diva for that but she did so good.
The movie was another Broadway remake. This was a Broadway musical that was turned into a movie with superstars like Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphey, Danny Glover, John Lithgow, John Krasinski, Jaleel White and of course Beyoncé. In fact, They even had Loretta Devine who played Lorrell in the Broadway show. The musical was loosely based on the Supremes and therefore was all about soul music of the Chicago 60s. Fun fact: in high school I was supposed to perform a lipsync to the title track in the movie but at the last minute we chose to do a part from My Best Friend's Wedding instead. I'm still bitter about the change...
I love the people, the music, the soul, and the drama of this movie! It will forever be one of my favorites. A few weeks ago when I was fresh of the Little Mermaid show at Tuacahn I knew I had to watch this movie! I love it so much and even though not all the music is as timeless as other songs I love Listen, Love You I Do, and And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going the most. They are timeless and they will forever make me happier when I hear them.

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.
