The music flows very well through the film keeping it flowing nicely to keep your interest in the storyline which may be simplistic it works great for the overall production of the film.

There are some great touches throughout the film, such as a sequence having some nice animations added to the scene to make it pop and later on a scene with a dance sequence on the side of the building that I wasn’t really expecting and it looks superb, I think that may have been my favourite part of the film.

If you love musicals then this is certainly a film that you will want to check out, also if you enjoyed Hamilton then no doubt this will be for you as well, the music is catchy, the choreography is wonderful to watch and the cinematography looks fantastic on the cinema’s screen in its 2.39:1 ratio.
  
Everybody's Talking About Jamie (2021)
Everybody's Talking About Jamie (2021)
2021 | Drama, Musical
On his birthday, a young man in Sheffield gets up, goes on his paper route, then puts on his uniform and goes to school. It is immediately apparent that this young man, Jamie, aspires to be a drag queen.
As someone who works in education, I appreciate how realistic the depiction of children in a classroom is.
It doesn't take long before our first song starts, and although though Jamie isn't a particularly good vocalist, the song was quite catchy and stuck in my mind till the following one.
I didn't know if I would like this movie as a 40-year-old woman, but I really did. I shouted at the TV, cried, and even laughed at it. It can serve as motivation for anyone who struggles with being authentic. This movie is undoubtedly something you will enjoy if you enjoy both camp and musicals.

15 Albums In and Starflyer 59 Still Rocks
If you've never heard of Starflyer 59, I have a treat for you.


What began as a "shoegazer" band in the mid 90's (think Smashing Pumpkins meets The Smiths) has progressed over the years through heavy, chunky guitars, to Brit-pop mixed with synth, to this new album which just ... rocks. With the release of the band's 15th full album (not to mention many EPs and collections), band lead Jason Martin has shown that he's still got it. "Young In My Head" is soothing, catchy rock that is perfect driving music.

I'll attach a Youtube link so you can hear the title song from the album.

The songs themselves are catchy in a way that makes you sing along without realizing it. The lyrics are surprisingly melancholy, dealing with growing older and realizing that you aren't the energetic kid you were when you started ("It's been 25/since I wrote/Blue Collar Love/Man, I had my turn/I need to go/Stayed longer than most"). But the music still has an upbeat groove to it that keeps it from feeling depressing. Martin walks that line between melancholy and depression like an expert.

My only complaint isn't really a complaint: Starflyer has some of the best guitar solos to end songs, and this album is no different, but they feel truncated - like they cut out too early. I would love longer outros like they used on older albums. Listen to the song "Cry," for a good example - the end of the song is amazing, beginning at 2:00, but it doesn't last long enough.

In the past 25 years Starflyer 59 has not released a bad album. Each album has a different sound and groove to it, but they are all undeniably Starflyer. I, for one, will continue to listen to their albums and hope they go another 25 years.

Incredible.
I personally love The Greatest Showman. Both the Audio tracks and the film itself. I feel the story flows well, though I did have to watch it twice to be able to fully understand every detail. But again for me that’s adds to it being a great film, as you can’t just watch it once. It catches you in a somewhat emotional manner, especially if you as a viewer, feel even remotely like an outcast. And if in that case, it becomes an emotional and strongly empowering piece. Hugh Jackman plays The Greatest Showman extremely well, which helps the entire film come together. He brings a warmth and maturity to the film that I doubt many other actors could. In Conclusion.. An absolutely incredible film with perfectly chosen actors/actresses and songs/singers.
