First Day Of 2025/2026 Awards Race

  So if anyone remembers from last year, I stopped doing the awards race commentaries mid-way through due to personal reasons. And for a while I considered no longer doing the awards race commentaries period. My respect for my current target is the only reason I’m even giving this another go. Due to my target making a HUGE impact on both music and film this year, I have decided to start a little early and add an extra award. But for this year only. Here's How This Works: Each year, I will have a target subject I'm rooting for this season. When the nominations for each award show are announced, I will do a small commentary on whether or not the subject has a chance of winning. I will also be focusing on those I think are frontrunners in different categories for the season as a whole, whether I'm rooting for them or not.  I will most likely say a last minute thought the day before the award show. I will be tracking down all the way up to the big dogs: THE OSCARS. The Awards; ...

Big Releases For November 2025

  We got 2 months to go in the year of 2025, and just a few more movies to go;   Predator: Badlands - Friday I have never seen a single Predator movie, and this sure as Hell is no exception. While critics did like Prey , that does not automatically mean it will be the same for this. I'm not really sure where the audience will stand.   The Running Man - November 14 Another movie I'm not sure how either side will react towards it. I'm most likely going to see it, but that could change over time. This is also the second Stephan King movie this year I've seen a lot of buzz about after The Long Walk.   Now You See Me: Now You Don't - November 14 We did not need another Now You See Me movie. This didn't even need to be a franchise. I did not see the first 2 and I don't care enough to see this one. Critics have always been mixed with this franchise, so I highly doubt there will be a change for this one. I do see this doing moderately well at the box-office, just no...

My Very First Frankenstein Movie

  For a while this was my most anticipated movie of the year until I saw trailers for F1 . As you can tell by the title of this post, I have never seen a single Frankenstein movie. The main reason I wanted to see this is because of  Mr. del Toro and how amazed I was by Pinocchio . A tale semi-old as time, douchebag surgeon Victor Frankenstein swears to "overcome death" by reanimating a corpse after witnessing the death of his mother. I wasn't as amazed by the movie as I would've liked, but it was good. Its biggest strongpoints were the acting, cinematography, and settings. The titular character's transition from the douchebag scientist who believed he could play God to the sick regretful loser we see by the movie's end was relatively smooth. Pretty much everyone in the movie did a good job, but Jacob Elordi was FANTASTIC and was pretty much the best thing about the movie. I was already well aware he could act thanks to bits and pieces of Euphoria . But his ani...

Bruce Springsteen's Oscar Bait Biopic

  Here we have yet another unnecessary music biopic. This time, It is Bruce Springsteen who tells us his life story, particularly the production of his sixth album Nebraska and his struggles with depression. Attach current "it" boy Jeremey Allen White to the picture as the lead, and you got yourself some Oscar bait.    The movie is nothing special. Like A Complete Unknown , it did a fine job at showing its interpretation of Springsteen's life. Strangely, this had in my opinion better direction than The Smashing Machine because it actually had some type of an idea of what aspect of Springsteen's life it wants to focus on. White did fine, I've never really seen him do a bad performance. Him and Strong (he'll always be Kendall Roy to me) were probably the best thing about the movie, their chemistry was really sweet. As for the negatives; what was the point of Faye's character? She is not even a real person and it is to my understanding that Springsteen himsel...

Roofman & Highest 2 Lowest

  So here we have our my second double review of the year. I saw Roofman 2 weeks ago, and it centers on the true story of Jeffrey Manchester; A struggling army vet who broke out of prison and took refuge in a Toys R Us store of all places. I watched Highest 2 Lowest with my family a week later, and it centers on a music mogul who finds himself in a difficult situation when his son and his friend are kidnapped. Roofman Roofman in my opinion was surprisingly more sad than funny. It did have funny moments, but the drama aspect was incredibly strong. Not that I am complaining, I actually respect the movie for not shying away from the tragedy of Mr. Manchester's life. Ironically, It achieved what Straw was trying to do with Henson's character. While Straw was trying too hard to make people feel sorry for her, Roofman was natural and let the story speak for itself. Also, this was Channing Tatum's best performance. He did not blow me away, but I also did not think he had any drama...

More Billboard

  Another Billboard with actual secular music. It's A Miracle;   Daisies - Justin Bieber While I did not love this song, the bass guitar kept it from being simply passable. It pretty much held this song together. It might possibly be one of Bieber's best pieces (coming from someone who's not a fan but does respect him) and shows a lot of maturity and growth from songs like Baby (which I HATE) and Yummy .   Don't Faint - Jekalyn Carr Like today's secular counterpart, this is probably the best I've heard from Carr as well. Both in terms of her vocals and the song's quality. I do feel that she put some more effort into the lyrics aside from being repetitive with the title like I've heard her do most of the time. So this personally is a huge step up for me. Thanks For Reading. Facebook-https://www.facebook.com/naomi.chadwick.58/ TikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@nae_not_like_you?lang=en 

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...
