Top 10 Final Girls

  Final Girl- a horror movie stereotype in which the female protagonist of the film takes on the antagonist (most likely either the monster or killer) and is most likely the sole survivor  The “Final Girl” trope has existed for decades now, and has had its fair share of both memorable and annoying characters. Since Halloween is around the corner, I figured now would be a good time to share this list. This is a list of the most notable Final Girls in my humble opinion.  #10: Dana Polk- The Cabin In The Woods So I watched Cabin In The Woods recently and I thought it was odd. I did not hate it but I was not terribly impressed with it either. Same goes with its protagonist and my #10 pick Dana, hence the reason she’s at the bottom. With that being said, she does have her moments. Namely unleashing those monsters onto the facility. But I will admit to being slightly underwhelmed by her character after she as well as the movie itself was relatively hyped up in videos or website...

Billboard

  Secular music finally returns;   The Fate Of Ophelia - Taylor Swift Huntrix's reign finally comes to an end. Only someone as huge as Swift could make that possible. I did not really care for this song. I do not hate it or anything, I just found it strange. And even speaking as someone who is not a fan, Swift has done better than this. Sucks to see Golden go, but it had a good run   Your Name - Jovonta Patton This was actually pretty good. While it is repetitive, it is used to an advantage. The track simply called out different names and characteristics of Jesus and it grew more and more powerful as we got deeper into the song. While this song is not amazing and there are many like this, I do see myself listening to this again and it is nice to hear a decent modern day gospel song Thanks For Reading Facebook-https://www.facebook.com/naomi.chadwick.58/ TikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@nae_not_like_you?lang=en 

Tron Review

  Tron in my opinion did not need another movie, but I was not terribly annoyed when this movie was announced considering how much I liked Tron: Legacy . Ares is a program created by Dillinger's power-hungry CEO grandson, who's Hell-bent on retrieving Kevin Flynn's  "Permanence Code" from Greta Lee.  I personally did like the movie, I found it to be entertaining and action packed. The film did have some nostalgia, It paid tribute to the original Tron and even had some references to Tron: Legacy . And of course it was nice to see Jeff Bridges. The action scenes were a strong point for the movie, nothing amazing but still entertaining. Another strong point was of course the music. I would not say I like it more than Tron: Legacy 's, but NIN did a good job.  In terms of flaws, some of the acting was slightly wooden and the characters are not the most memorable. The actors somewhat did the best with what they were given, but that is not saying much. But overall, I...

Music Review: Soda Pop

  Because I was getting impatient on the possibility of this taking a #1 spot, I decided to give a quick thought on another song from KPop Demon Hunters ;   Soda Pop - The Saja Boys Like Golden , this song also grew on me over time. It does have an annoyingly catchy vibe, but in a good way. Also like Golden , the songwriters clearly knew how to appeal to audiences. And while I do like Golden more, I feel like Soda Pop used its annoyingly catchy vibe to its advantage, which make since considering the Saja Boys are the antagonists and trying to steal people's souls. Clever work on the writers part. Thanks For Reading Facebook-https://www.facebook.com/naomi.chadwick.58/ TikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@nae_not_like_you?lang=en 

Billboard Return

  Billboard returns after lack of new material last week; Secular Music;  Golden - Huntrix https://naesnotlikeyou.blogspot.com/2025/07/today-on-billboard.html   Confident - Bri Babineaux Another gospel song with a generic message trying too hard to be modern. I do not hate this song or the artist, but I do not really like it either. It does not represent everything wrong with modern day worship, but it does not really help it either. Possible music review tomorrow. Thanks For Reading Facebook-https://www.facebook.com/naomi.chadwick.58/ TikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@nae_not_like_you?lang=en 

Wasn't A Smash, But Not Bad

          I think Smashing Machine slowly but surely lost its spark after its Rotten Tomatoes score   was revealed. Despite supposedly receiving a standing ovation, both critics and the box-office are shown to not be as excited. In the film, The Rock portrays Mark Kerr, a now retired wrestler/mixed martial artist. The problem with this movie is that it has the elements to be amazing, but it did not use them to its advance. The film waited too long to elevate things to the next level. And even when it did, nothing was done with it in the aftermath. The movie relied a little too much on style, The Rock, and Emily Blunt (more on them later). This did not completely destroy the movie, it just did not take advantage of its elements, at all. Another issue I had with the movie was that I'm unsure what aspect of Kerr's life it was focusing on. First, I thought It focused on his relationship with Dawn, then I thought it was on him and Coleman's friendship, then his ...

Hocus Pocus For Adults

  So yeah I initially passed on this movie when it was first released due to my cautious nature towards horror movies. The reason I changed my mind was because I had made the decision to skip One Battle After Another . Basically an adult version of Hocus Pocus , a group of kids from the same class (which includes Thanos' son) go missing in the middle of the night, with only one child remaining. As the teacher, unfortunately Julia Garner is taking the heat for it. This is probably the most well-written movie I've seen this year. There's not really a protagonist in this film and the story is shown from the perspectives of different people, and this should've been convoluted but it came together beautifully. I can't imagine that being easy to write, so I really applaud the Mr. Cregger (who's also the director) for his work.  One thing I've noticed as I watch more horror movies is that the quiet and subtle ones are the most effective and scary. Alien is a really...
