    The OC theme song! Speaking of that song, watch The High Note - is a light-hearted ending to a Kelvin Harrison Jr film festival - Luce (sinister...?) - Waves (HEAVY) - The High Note (smiling, singing, Ice Cube, Tracee Ellis Ross, Dakota Johnson) #SAGAwards

    The High Note *movie* was on last night and I saw that Kelvin Harrison Jr was in it, so I watched—-only to find him in some love affair with a YT WOMAN!

    I should've taken the ones I got but I think it's also them repackaging old Blurays meant for like Redbox and the like. The Blurays of Live By Night and Keanu I bought explicitly have Rental on the box. Also got Assassination Nation and a COVID era lost studio movie called The High Note.

    You could do a lot worse than 'The High Note' for a light two hours when there's nothing else to watch; it's just unfortunate that its charismatic cast can't save an off-pitch script. - Ashley Teresa Read Ashley's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-the-high-note-a-mid-tempo-comedy-romp
