With all the attention, both positive and negative, but mostly
negative, given to young actresses who attempt to sing in public,
often with hilariously disastrous results, (Ashlee Simpson comes to
mind, although I really, really wish she wouldn't), it's nice to
encounter one who isn't the personification of fingernails on a
blackboard. Maybe it helps that Anya Marina has only one film credit,
and one I've not seen. It's easier to evaluate her performance when I
don't have preconceptions to work through.
In any event, I found Miss Halfway to be tuneful and sweet, a
nice addition to the selections in my iPod. It reminds me a bit of
the interstitial music on
Gilmore
Girls.
Yes, I watch Gilmore Girls. Wanna make something of it?
