In Music: Robyn - Hang With Me

Let me just start off by saying that Robyn can do no wrong.  There, I've said it.  The thing I love most is the fact that most artists will work for years on a new album, hire cowriters, producers and all kinds of music manipulators.  They come out with a few good songs, then disappear and you're left waiting a few more years for something else to come out.  Not Robyn.  This chick is pumping out songs and albums left and right, all while touring.  Not only is she pumping them out like nobody's business, but they're all absolutely amazing!  There isn't one song I don't absolutely love!  This song is no exception.  The video is simple, but I'll tell you what...I would definitely hang with Robyn, that bitch is fabulous!

In Music: Christina Aguilera - You Lost Me

The video is pretty boring for such a powerful song.  I don't really get it.  She looks pretty good, but the effects seem out of place to me.  The song itself I love, but then again, Sia wrote it.  I gave a higher rating on this because of the song itself, not the video.

★★★☆☆

Hump Day: Nuno Branco

In Film: My Sister's Keeper

In all fairness, it is a good movie.  I just happened to catch it on HBO the other night, and was satisfied with it.  Surprisingly it's not entirely what I thought it was about.  It focuses more on a girl who was conceived for the sole purpose of saving her dying sister who is fighting for the right to her own body at the age of 13.  For that, I give it some kudos.  Cameron Diaz does a really good job, as does Abigail Breslin.  The stand out performance, however, comes from Joan Cusack, who plays a judge who recently lost a daughter herself.  It's a renter for sure.  It's a typical sapfest movie that was done well.

The Good:  A surprisingly interesting story and great acting performances.

The Bad:  It's a typical sapfest with no real twists and turns that you can't see coming from a mile away.

The Ugly:  There's nothing really awful about this movie, no ugly today.

★★★★☆
