Nae's Not Like You

  Another day, another Billboard ; Secular Music;  Ordinary - Alex Warren https://naesnotlikeyou.blogspot.com/2025/05/todays-billboard.html   God Still Working On Me - Carvin Winans The song itself was fine, but nothing special. It especially lacks in comparison to his family's work, even now with his sister's Come Jesus Come still on the charts. So the song being just okay and being the product of an iconic family in the gospel world definitely hurts the artist.

  I didn't expect much from Elio aside from it being cute, probably heartwarming and decently animated. After losing his parents, a pre-teen boy finds himself living with his aunt. Feeling that he doesn't belong, our titular character aspires to be abducted by aliens, and surprisingly received his wish. The only problem is they believe him to be the ambassador of Earth. The movie was pretty much everything I expected; decent enough but nothing special. The story was sweet, but I feel like it's average in terms of Pixar standards. I felt the writers did not really push the boundaries of creativity and cohesiveness like the studio did last year with Inside Out 2  or like it used to do during the glory days. But it was cute, I did like the film as a whole. Its strong points were the score, the visuals (in space especially), and Glordon, he was ADORABLE!🥰 But other than that, the movie was just meh.

  Another week, another Billboard ;   Manchild - Sabrina Carpenter I am aware of Carpenter's recent controversy involving her latest album cover, but I'm here to review the song and the cover is none of my concern. I thought her first single so far was kind of fun, and definitely gets you in a good mood. I don't love the song, but I do find it appealing.

  Look, a remake to an animated movie that's only 15 years old is a really stupid idea. Adding to that, I'm not even that big a fan of HTTYD . But I do respect the franchise (plus the second installment is FANTASTIC). And I'm curious to see if this crashes, so of course I'm gonna see it. The plot is pretty much the same as the original; nerdy teenage Viking shoots down dragon, unable to kill dragon, him and dragon become friends. As dumb as it is to make a HTTYD remake so soon (or at all), I would be lying if I said I didn't like this film. The movie was actually pretty good. Not great and clearly not better than the original (which I did rewatch recently), but still decent enough for me. Granted, its biggest strength is also its biggest flaw. It's obvious how much this film respects the original, especially considering this film has the same director for the original franchise as well as Gerard Butler reprising his role as Stoick (RIP). However, it's also a...

This week's Billboard ; Secular Music; Ordinary - Alex Warren https://naesnotlikeyou.blogspot.com/2025/05/todays-billboard.html   No Fear - Jon Reddick So I thought this song was cute. It has a nice hook and a good message, spiritually. It's nothing special, but it's definitely not boring either like most CCM songs I hear. I'm not super impressed, but I'm also not super bored with this song.

So Ballerina is obviously a spinoff of the John Wick franchise and pretty much what Trigger Warning was trying to be but failed miserably. Starring Ana de Armas as the title character, the movie centers on a ballet dancer (and assassin) seeking vengeance for her father. She does eventually encounter the Baba Yaga himself. I liked it. Like Mission Impossible , it did what it needed to do. It provided lots of action and thrills, and thankfully our protagonist wasn't an unlikable jerk. That was my biggest worry about the film, I assumed they would make her better than John Wick simply for being a girl. But the movie still managed to make a skilled female protagonist without disrespecting Wick himself. Eve is a BOSS female character done correctly without over-doing it, and I really appreciate that.  The fight scenes were amazing. Some of them were EXTREMELY creative, which is something the John Wick franchise is known for. This thankfully did not hold back. This movie also somewhat hi...
