Nae's Not Like You

  So if you remember earlier this year, I gave the first Wicked the top spot on my list of favorite movies from last year. Fast-forward 11 months later and its position has been deducted (I'll explain next month), but I was still looking forward to part-2. Obviously this is act 2 of the musical, which shows the aftermath of Elphaba's escape and the arrival of Dorothy. It is to my understanding that critics are relatively divisive on this movie and I'm not really sure why (me disliking the actresses doesn't count). I will admit that the first one was better, but not due to lack of quality on the sequel's part. Not only is the first one more flashy, but it has the more popular (no pun intended) songs. Yes songs like No Good Deed and the titular For Good both have a strong presence, but the stronger songs are in act 1. So that's part of the reason why this movie felt mellow for me in comparison to the first. This is not a flaw, just an acknowledgement. With that be...

  Self-explanatory; Secular Music;  The Fate Of Ophelia - Taylor Swift   https://naesnotlikeyou.blogspot.com/2025/10/billboard.html Can't Steal My Joy - Josiah Queen Ft. Brandon Lake I was fine with this song, it had a good message. My only real flaw with it was that I felt it was a little bit too fast-paced until they reached the extended half of the second chorus. But as a whole, this song was decent. It gets you pumped up for Jesus so there's that.

  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
