I expected more from this one. The story of a doll/toy going out of control has been done and this doesn't add a whole lot new apart from the themes of attachment and human relationships vs machine. None of the attempts at jump scares worked. The daughter changes from having an attachment disorder with M3GAN to doing a 180 and trying to kill it too quickly.

Some random thoughts. This is a pleasant listen despite being a tad boring in parts. The best are good, but not amazing. It's a shame the best moment, 'As It Was', isn't a bit longer. Some of the synth-pop production sounds like something The Weeknd has had. 'Little Freak' reminds me of some of Zayn's tunes. Harry's singing talent doesn't blow me away. Best Tracks: As It Was, Little Freak, Daydreaming

I don't know where to start with this. I wanted to turn it off after 20 minutes. The quote, "He's a liberal cuck", that appears later on in the movie, sums it and the writers (Kenya Barris/Jonah Hill) up. I feel like the writers probably thought they were writing a more balanced movie than they did. You only have to compare the apologies of Ezra's mum and Amira's father to their children towards the conclusion to tell that it isn't. There are some engaging scenes and moments of comedy driven by the star power in the film, but if I had a dollar for the amount of times I cringed or rolled my eyes at some of the attempts at social commentary I'd be a rich man. The BS Amira gives Ezra when he gets in her car thinking it's an Uber is like a poorly written Curb Your Enthusiasm moment, as are other moments when the characters overreact to something that has been said. Don't get me started on Ezra's cliche/cringe podcast co-host either. Maybe it's shallow of me, but I struggled to believe that someone who looks like Lauren London would be with Jonah Hill too. And they should've used Kanye's verse.

This is a mixed bag. The sounds of some of the opening songs like 'Lapdance' ain't my thing and there is nothing I love. The best moments are when the members the Clipse rap and the storytelling 'Bobby James' that is backed by chill instrumentation. It sounds like something from Lupe's 'The Cool'. A light 3. I look forward to trying the electronic version of this album to see if I enjoy that more. Best Tracks: Truth or Dare, Run to the Sun, Am I High, Bobby James

This album is best known by hip hop fans for it's unusual album art, as is probably Poohman/MC Pooh, which is unfortunate as he is a worthy artist. After checking out his 3rd album, Judgement Day, I was looking forward to this as that album was unexpectedly pretty great. As expected, the production isn't as good as Judgement Day, but it still has its qualities and is a sizeable jump from his debut album, Life of a Criminal, that Ant Banks also produced. It takes no time at all to get into it, with the opener, 'Niggas Ain't Playin'', kicking it off with some high energy funk and sampling 'Dem Niggers Ain't Playing' by The Watts Prophets for the hook that creates a nice contrast from the quickly spit verses. The next couple of songs are enjoyable with Pooh sounding a bit like Ice-T on the title track. It starts to lose a touch in the production department from 'Player Haters' and some content with 'Your Dick' and 'Eating' Pussy', but I can't be too critical of the consistency. The aforementioned track is an interesting one that advocates for cunnilingus in a time where most rappers were saying that they don't do it. Petty Pablo's 'Freek a Leek' come to mind: "And love to get her pussy licked/By another bitch, 'cause I ain't drunk enough to do that." The previous song, 'Your Dick', sounds somewhat like a dirtier imitation of LL Cool J's 'I Need Love'. Don't let the cover fool you. If you like west coast mobb music/g-funk, Pooh's early albums are worth checking out.
