Nae's Not Like You

  The return of Billboard ; Secular Music; Manchild - Sabrina Carpenter https://naesnotlikeyou.blogspot.com/2025/06/today-on-billboard.html   Trust & Obey -Erica Campbell To be honest, I am not a fan of this track. What really turns me off is Campbell's vocal performance. For some reason her vocals sound dried out to me. I know I should be focusing on the message and all, but I've listened to Mary Mary since childhood and I'm used to Campbell sounding better than this.

  Darren Aronofsky's (of Black Swan and The Whale  fame) Caught Stealing centers on a character called Hank. He's a former baseball player now working as a bartender who finds himself looking after his idiot neighbor's cat. That turns out to be a HUGE mistake as it results in him landing in hot water with the worst people possible. While the movie wasn't great, I really, REALLY enjoyed it. It was intense and action packed from start to finish. Pretty much every actor involved did what they needed to do (Bad Bunny included). Aside from Austin, Matt Smith and Regina King were probably my favorites. You will feel HORRIBLE for Austin throughout this movie as his character is pretty much a physical and emotional punching bag for a majority of it. This man is literally just minding his own business and is all of a sudden tossed into a world of murder and crime activity. The bright side to that however is that you will also root for him as a result.  Speaking as a fan; LEAVE M...

  I've heard nothing but terrible things about this movie. I watched it knowing it was gonna be bad, and I decided to have my mother suffer through it with me while she was doing my hair. The film focuses on Ice Cube, who plays some government hacker dude trying to find this cyber-terrorist called "The Disrupter" when all of a sudden aliens invade Earth. This movie was hilarious for all the wrong reasons. Pretty much everything about it was not good; the acting was non-existent, the found-footage concept was wasted, and the visuals look like something you'd see in a high school project. I know this was made during COVID, and that really, REALLY, shows in this movie. I've never seen Ice Cube as an amazing actor, but he's often entertaining onscreen. But he's just straight up BAD in this. When he's barely even trying with his reactions, he's sounding too gangster and quoting Ludacris. Everyone else's acting pretty much sucked as well, and the plo...

  My experience with Ne Zha was an interesting case. I learned about both movies' existences through TV ads for the second one. I was reintroduced to them about 2 weeks ago. I watched the first on Netflix and finally saw the second last Thursday. Kicking off literally where the first left off, our titular little terror has to share a body with his friend Ao Bing and complete a trial in order to become immortal, which they have to do in 7 days, or else the latter's pissed-off father will attack Ne Zha's village. The first one was just decent, I was slightly underwhelmed by the generic animation style. But the second one on the other hand was absolutely INCREDIBLE! It basically took everything from the first one and elevated it times 10. Due to my obviously mellow reaction towards the first movie, I did not expect the sequel to be THIS good. But to my surprise (and horror to be honest), it is. I have not been THIS excited about a movie since ATSV . No, it is not as good as Ac...

  You know the drill; The Conjuring: Last Rites- September 5 Did not see the first few movies and I sure as Hell ain't seeing this. Again, religious horror is not my thing. Audiences are definitely  going to see it given its long history of popularity. Same goes with critics as well.   The Long Walk - September 12 Honestly, this looks promising in terms of the trailers. But at the same time, I don't want to jinx it. I do intend on seeing this movie and I'm not really sure about how it will do in the box-office or with critics.    Him - September 19 I am NOT seeing this. It looks disturbing and I'm not a fan of Jordan Peele (who's the producer for this film). While I do see critics liking this, I'm not really sure where the audiences stands.    One Battle After Another - September 26 I do not know if I want to see this yet. But I will point out that its director has a pretty good track record in terms of movies. I do not expect this to be a box-office d...

  So this is my attempt at ranking the 5 albums of iconic girl-group TLC. I hope I was able to rank these as accurately  as possible  #5: TLC T his was their last album, though the group is still active. The strong point of the album is that it has a throwback-like vibe to it as a whole. But unfortunately, the album doesn't really stand out in comparison to the rest of their library. Not that I expected it to when it came out, especially given how iconic TLC is. But at the same time, it would've been nice if the group went out with a bang and I don't feel that this album really did that. It also doesn't help that I didn't think the group needed a final album in the first place, but that's just my humble opinion. #4: 3D This is obviously the last album to feature deceased member Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopes, though much of the album was finalized after the accident. Honestly, there’s nothing wrong with the album. But there are 2 factors that place it this low....
