Hi. Listening to an old movie on TV and working on my blog and working on my Etsy site. Like to multi task.  I guess you will have to tell me if splitting my focus three ways was successful.

I went to see The Front Runner over the weekend, mostly to see what Hugh Jackman could do with the part. Heard it could be an Oscar contender. Personally I would like to see Hugh Jackman get an Oscar, he is such a great talent. So much fun to watch, on many levels.  Great hair, and he can sing and dance. What more do you need?

Back up a step. Hair, dancing and singing is the extent of greatness?  Not so.  Zac Efron (also very cute and great at the dancing/singing thing) was in the Greatest Showman along with H.G. and H.G. dominated.  H.G. just does.  He fills up the room, adds a spark, creates a layer of fun and sincerity that is invigorating.  He loves what he does and it shows.

The Front Runner is chock full of interesting characters who talk very fast.  Not sure it is Oscar worthy but it is worth the 2 hours.  I will watch it when it comes to Netflix.  I won't buy it. Buying it is the pinnacle that any movie can attain in my world and it is limited to those movies that I will binge watch.  To rate this movie on a scale of
1 = would smash the CD if I was offered it for free
  to
5 = I want to be buried with this movie,

I would rate The Front Runner as a 3.5 which means I will happily watch it again for free.

Now, I want to see A Star is Born because of the two stars and it appears to be a good movie and it has been in the theaters for such a long time that it must be a good movie.  My hesitation is that it is billed as a ROMANCE and I do not pay money to watch ROMANCE movies.  I do not buy ROMANCE books and I do not watch ROMANCE movies unless I am desperate for entertainment and there is NOTHING ELSE ON THE TV.  I do have other options during this, the holiday season. We will see which side of me wins.
