Mandi's Movie Review: SING!

By Source, Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=48524093
How can it fail? "Sing" has an all-star cast, fun music and dancing/talking animals. This should be gold! Let's try bronze, if that. I feel really bad saying anything bad about this film as I saw the previews and thought "how cute is this?" But in reality, the previews were more than enough and probably had all the cuteness the movie needed. 



 PROS:

  • the pros! Reese Witherspoon was absolutely adorable and charming as a desperate housewife pig, just wanting to sing Katy Perry. Loved Rosita and she could should win something.
  • Scarlett Johansson as badass porcupine, Ash who gave us major girl power!
  • Tori Kelly's Meena was the cutest elephant and definitely our inner #spiritanimal when we feel down about ourselves. Kelly deserved so much more praise as she was incredible. Incredible!
  • Gunter played by Nick Kroll had all the pig moves to accompany Rosita and was adorbs. 
  • Johnny the ape played by Taron Egerton was for sure a stand-out when he chose an Elton John song to bring the house down.
CONS:
  • John C. Reilly was underused.
  • Matthew McConaughey as a desperate koala? Yeah, no.
  • MORE NANA NOODLEMAN played by Jennifer Hudson and Jennifer Saunders.
  • Too long at almost two hours! TWO HOURS! That's one hour shorter than "Titanic."
It was a waste of Oscar talent. Maybe if it had been a half hour shorter, it would have been a lot more noteworthy but I just was intro feeling it. I apologize if you and/or your kids loved it but I was not a fan. Next time...But, I do see some sort of Oscar gold coming to the film as it has what voters look for!

'DWTS' Names First Season 35 Contestants

YouTube Dancing With the Stars has named its first contestants for Season 35. Many names have been thrown around, but now, two are official. The first is Maura Higgins of Love Island and The Traitors fame. She infamously got the winner, Rob Rausch, to buy her a Birkin when he was able to deceive her in Season 4 of The Traitors. Her name had been out there for DWTS as well as for The Bachelorette , so it will be great to see how far she makes it.  The next is Summer House star Ciara Miller. She is smack dab in the middle of the Amanda Batula/West Wilson romance scandal, so her time is now. This all went down on Wednesday, April 22nd, at Hulu's Get Real House event. The new season will likely premiere in September, so get ready. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Entertainment Tonight (@entertainmenttonight) Are you excited about this new cast so far ?

A 'Jerseylicious' Split!

YouTube When you were on a semi-successful reality show, especially as one of the key players, and everyone watched your love story unfold, it only makes sense they will want to keep following you after the series has ended. Such has been the case for 'Jerseylicious' star, Tracy DiMarco , who always went head-to-head with Olivia Blois-Sharpe on the show based around the never-ending drama at the Jersey salon, The Gatsby. Eventually, DiMarco got her happily ever after when she married Corey Epstein in her dream wedding. She continued to pursue her passion, have three kids, develop a wildly successful podcast, and work on clothing and accessories.  But, when you are in the public eye, boasting 541K followers on Instagram , almost everything you do is up for scrutiny. Fans (and haters) began to notice a lack of presence when it came to her husband, Corey, and questioned if their marriage was okay. There is an abundance of photos of daughters, Skylar and Jayden as well as son, ...

Khloe Kardashian’s ‘Khloud’ Protein Popcorn: Light As Air?

YouTube Khloe Kardashian has just launched her Khloud Protein Popcorn, and it's supposed to be extremely special and different. The big draw to it is that it is specifically a protein popcorn. Khloe opted to put protein in a fun, grabbable snack, and it is great for those who need this on the go. Or for people who love to snack, who do not get enough of this essential macronutrient. Yes, protein bars can be great, but they often do not satisfy a craving. So, how did the Khloud popcorn fare, and is it worth the hype? We got it for you. Flying On A Cloud Not everyone wants to support the Kardashians, and that is understandable . They have become a hit-or-miss family and might be overrated. However, almost everything that they touch turns to gold, so adding food only makes sense. Kourtney Kardashian has her own supplement line, and now, Khloe Kardashian has ventured into snacks. She has long been into fitness, and it has been a great coping mechanism. So, on April 29th, 2025, she dro...
