Minions, Monsters & Reviews

At this point, Despicable Me  really needs to come to an end. With that being said, unlike Toy Story it's not as heartbreaking to watch this franchise get stretched so thin because as great as the first 2 movies were I only expect dumb family fun in these. Nothing deeper. Minions & Monsters actually centers on a different group of minions than the ones we're used to. 2 of them; James and Henry decide to make a monster movie🤦🏾‍♀️. This was surprisingly a step up from Despicable Me 4 . I wouldn't say that the movie was super strong, but it is probably the first decent film in the franchise since Despicable Me 2  (which in my humble opinion is the best movie in the franchise). The charm didn't feel worn-out or stale, it actually felt genuine and natural. Don't get me wrong there is never a time where the minions aren't hilarious, but its gotten to a point were the franchise was overly reliant on the minions being stupid and didn't even bother with the wri...

Here Comes The General!

If you're a fan of Hamilton , you will understand the reference of this post's title. Figured it would fit perfectly for the occasion. Young Washington obviously centers on the future first US president's struggles throughout the French-Indian War.  I enjoyed this movie. There's a line in Hamilton where Washington says " My name's been through a lot, I can take it ". And judging by what I saw in this movie, he was not lying. Yes, I am aware that the movie is not completely accurate. But regardless, I didn't realize how much Washington did struggle and I guess you can say this movie made me understand and respect him even more than I already did. The action of this movie was also pretty good and the performances were solid. I'm aware that this is getting a sequel, and I'm curious to see it. This movie wasn't amazing, but I do recommend it.

This Week On Billboard

I present to you, another Billboard ; Secular Music; Stupid Song - Olivia Rodrigo https://naesnotlikeyou.blogspot.com/2026/06/another-billboard.html   Washed - Elevation Rhythm I thought the song was so-so at best. I found the chorus to be relatively lackluster. I did actually like the bridge, though I will admit that it's not super special. The song is joyful, but I've heard better in terms of joyful worship songs (this year included) 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

Big Releases For July 2026

July is kind of a big month for movies. So Let's Get Started;   Minions & Monsters - Today I do intend on seeing this movie. And considering this is the minions we're talking about, I think it's safe to say that this is going to EXPLODE at the box-office. To my surprise, critics appear to like this film. I don't want to say I now have high hopes for this film, but I am curious now   Young Washington - Friday Obviously perfect timing for Independence Day. I am going to see this as well. It is currently getting lukewarm reviews, but I personally think that I am going to like it. And I'm not just saying that because it's Angel Studios (especially considering Animal Farm 👎🏾). We'll see with its box-office.   Moana - July 10 I've had enough of these crappy remakes from Disney, I'm not seeing this mess. Audiences do look annoyed with this film, however people were also annoyed with Lilo & Stitch  and it was a box-office hit. I would not be surpri...

Another Billboard

Another week of Billboard ;   Stupid Song - Olivia Rodrigo For me this song sounds like some type of opposite version of vampire . And I'm not saying that's a bad thing. It's that the arrangement of the chorus to me sounds relatively similar to  vampire . Overall, the song was fine.   Good - Matthew West I'm alright with this song. It's nothing amazing, but I will admit that the lyrics are relatively nice. For some reason the opening melody sounds like Hey There Delilah . And I HATE that song. Granted, this song for me is decent.  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

Awkward Romance🤷🏾‍♀️

I'm my effort to make sure I watch more less than great movies after not having enough from last year, I decided to give Netflix's new rom-com a shot. Jennifer Lopez plays a CEO who finds herself attracted to her new lawyer (Roy Kent....I mean Brett Goldstein). Due to the company's work policy, they try to fight off their attraction towards each other. Though they eventually give in, which leads to problematic results.  I thought the movie was bland. It's wasn't terrible, but there was nothing really special about it either. Though I will admit that I did find Lopez and Goldstein cute together, and there were moments in this film that I did find romantic and heartwarming. I will also admit there were  some moments in the movie that were genuinely funny. But regardless, I didn't think anything decent in this film really stood out. The things that did stand out in this movie unfortunately were all either lackluster or negative.  For starters; this movie was slight...

Billboard

It's time for today's Billboard ; I Knew It, I Knew You - Taylor Swift Never thought I'd hear Taylor do a country song again. The song itself was fine, It was cute enough for Toy Story . But for me the song just lacks the charm that the first few songs of the franchise had that made people feel nostalgic or tugged at your heartstrings. And this is coming from someone who's not the biggest fan of You Got A Friend In Me . It just feels burned out at this point.   Jesus I Do - Mariah Carey Ft. The Clark Sisters This was actually #1 on the Gospel Airplay chart about a month ago. I've been wanting to review it but other songs just kept popping up and eventually I just got impatient. I wanted to love this song, but in my opinion it didn't really find its groove until the bridge. Though its strongest aspect was without a doubt the harmonies. But considering Mariah Carey collaborating with the Clark Sisters sounds like heaven for me, I just expected more. Though this wa...
