Nae's Not Like You

The Dog Stars was based on a post-apocalyptic novel by Peter Heller and focuses on a former mechanic by the name of Hig, who lost his family during a pandemic (ironically considering 2020). The cast is relatively decent with Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin and Allison Janney and is directed by Ridley Scott. This was an underwhelming and boring mess. This was promoted as some type of action movie when most of the action didn't even start until halfway through the movie. If you remember from a few months ago, I mentioned that  Project Hail Mary isn't very action packed either, minus the fishing scene of course. But the reason I can't take issue with that is because its emotional core, beautiful visuals, compelling story and more fills that void. This movie has none of that accept for visuals. The characters are very uninteresting, and I'm convinced most of the actors didn't even want to be there. I felt bad for Hig, but his characterization was overly reliant on his tragedy...

Let's take a look at September's movies, shall we; Fall 2: Deadpoint - Today I've seen the first one and it was VERY unsettling. I highly doubt this will be any different. Not quite sure how this will do with critics or the box-office considering the previous one didn't really need a sequel. But people remember the previous one quite fondly (me included) so you never really know. Practical Magic 2 - September 11 This also did not need a sequel, but I'm going to see it anyway. Maybe critics will be nicer to this one then they were to the previous one, but that's just a guess. I see the movie being fine at best and either doing decently at the box-office or completely bombing.  Resident Evil - September 18 Still debating on whether or not I want to see this. I loved Weapons last year, hence the reason why I'm at least taking this movie into consideration. Cregger has not done a movie that people have disliked since his very first, so I don't really see thi...

Remember the movie Girls Trip ?  That movie made me and my mom laugh our butts off. Some things about it did not age well, but regardless that movie still remains one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. This relatively tried to do the same thing as Leslie Mann and her girlfriends head off to the spa for the weekend, only for the "friend nobody likes" to spoil the party. This movie was trying to hard to be funny. Almost every scene was over-the-top, especially if it involved Isla Fisher's character. The only good thing about the jokes was that I surprisingly didn't find them super annoying, just try-hard. The film also tried to preach about putting yourself first when it just came off as cringey.  The 4 leads are nothing special. Their chemistry was fine enough but nothing that I haven't seen before or done better. These characters don't really standout individually either accept for Isla Fisher, and not in a good way.  Very bland and overexaggerated. Than...

Another Billboard ; Secular Music; Choosin' Texas - Ella Langley https://naesnotlikeyou.blogspot.com/2026/02/todays-billboard.html   Mercy - PJ Morton I didn't really care for this one. It just felt generic and did not elevate itself at all in my opinion. The arrangement of this track is also relatively boring. This isn't the worst thing I've heard all year, but it's nothing special.  Thanks For Reading Facebook-https://www.facebook.com/naomi.chadwick.58/ X-@ChadwickNa28887 Email-naenotlikeyou@gmail.com Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/ihearttop123/ YouTube Playlist (Secular)- Link YouTube Playlist (Worship)- Link

I'm gonna be honest, I barely know anything about Anthony Bourdain aside from his suicide. So I guess I learned a little more about him through this movie. This film depicts the early life of Bourdain, particularly him going to Massachusetts after being rejected a fellowship and finds himself working at a restaurant.  I really enjoyed this movie. The acting and poignancy was probably the strongest aspects of this film and Dominic Sessa, Leo Woodall and Antonio Banderas were definitely the standouts. Banderas was hilarious (especially with a bucket of water), but also balanced with versatility and vulnerability. Woodall was a jerk, and Sessa was brilliant as Bourdain himself  The movie was funny, but also very warm and inviting as it showcased this obnoxious kid getting a well deserved butt-whomping and learning to appreciate food. Though you also understand the kid as he was dealing with constant disappointment as well. There was also a little reference to Bourdain's unfortuna...

Ronald Regan remains one of our nations most notable presidents and this is the second presidential film released by Angel Studios this year following  Young Washington last month. Set during the Cold War, Brink Of War centers on Regan meeting up with Mikhail Gorbachev in hopes of finding hollow ground in terms of nukes. The movie is decent at best. And though I only see it as decent, it is not due to lack of quality accept when it comes to one aspect that we will discuss later. Almost everything about the movie was very solid. It's mostly just talking, so for some people it might get a little boring. But the film makes up for that with its strong acting, decent writing and relevant themes. This cast is actually pretty packed, with Jeff Daniels, J.K. Simmons and more. The only aspect of this film that felt unneeded was the storyline involving the wives. It felt slightly half-baked and there really wasn't much of a reason for this to be included in the film. Not that the first ...
