Nae's Not Like You

  Here we have yet another Stephen King adaptation for the year. This is also one of 2 adaptations of this novel as well. Glen Powel makes the horrible mistake of participating in a game show where he is being hunted. He has to stay alive for 30 days in order to win 1 billon dollars, which he hopes to use on his sick daughter and struggling wife. I wasn't terribly amazed with the movie, but I was entertained. The stunts were obviously the biggest strongpoint of the film and to my surprise the performances were relatively strong. Powel managed to be both serious and charming, and his character was very easy to root for. And no, it's not simply because Powel is attractive (though that helps), but because everything he does is for his family. Also, you do not want to piss him off in this. I wanted to punch Thanos in the face almost the entire time, and Colman Domingo was Colman Domingo.  I've never seen the original nor do I care enough to see the original. But overall, I was ...

  I bring to you another double review; let's start with Sarah's Oil . Staring Zachery Levi, Sarah's Oil is a biographical film centered on the pre-teenaged Sarah Rector's battle to drill oil from her land with a little bit of help from Levi. Then we have The Lost Bus , which involves Matthew McConaughey transferring a bus with America Ferrera and 22 kids to safety in the mist of a wildfire gone bad.  Sarah's Oil I was actually disappointed with Sarah's Oil . What disappointed me about it was that the film was marketed as a faith-based movie when the finishing product obviously wasn't. It was a race movie at its core and it should've been marketed as that. You can't just stick a random gospel song and a small insignificant prayer on certain scenes and call it a faith-based movie. The spirituality in this was fake. On the flip side, I liked Zachery Levi.  The Lost Bus Now this movie I liked. Not only was the acting solid, but the movie had my heart po...

  I kind of do not really know how to properly explain this list. I guess these are a group of TV characters that I feel are constantly dumped on by either life or other characters specifically due to either their own poor decisions or their lives just suck. The characters who constantly give us secondhand embarrassment whenever they appear, and even annoy us from time to time. #10: Janine Teagues- Abbott Elementary Look, Janine’s a nice girl. She truly cares about the kids, her school, and her colleagues. But she is probably one of the corniest characters I have ever witnessed on television. She has a tendency to be a little too sappy with her co-workers when they clearly could not care less (with the exception of Gregory and Jacob, the latter also being a strong contender for this list) and can be slightly overbearing when it comes to improving the school. Her dorky nature is also signified by her terrible taste in clothing (earlier seasons especially). Seriously, sometimes it go...

  This week on Billboard ; Secular Music; The Fate Of Ophelia - Taylor Swift   https://naesnotlikeyou.blogspot.com/2025/10/billboard.html   Do It Again - Kirk Franklin It is not my favorite, but it is a fun song. That's not really a surprise considering Franklin is literally known for making party-like gospel songs. He has definitely done way better than this. But overall the song doesn't suck. I've just heard him do better. Thanks For Reading Facebook-https://www.facebook.com/naomi.chadwick.58/ TikTok- https://www.tiktok.com/@nae_not_like_you?lang=en 

  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; ...

  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...
