Big Releases For December

                 



So as the year comes to a close, we've got some last minute movies that need to be discussed before we say goodbye to 2023. And honestly, there are several big releases this month.


 Poor Things- Friday

I only recently started seeing commercials for this movie. At first it looked interesting, until I read the actual plot. It doesn't sound bad, just weird for my taste. I don't know if I'm gonna see it, and I need to figure that out before Friday. Critics are eating it up right now, particularly Emma Stone. But I don't know where it stands in terms of it's box-office.



 Wonka- December 15

I've only ever seen trailers for Wonka on TV. I wouldn't say it looks amazing, but it definitely looks whimsical enough for a Roald Dahl movie. I'm kind of mixed on whether or not I wanna see it, which says a lot as I have a HUGE soft spot for the original Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. So far, there seems to be relatively decent reviews, but not perfect. And considering pretty no one asked for this remake, I'm not exactly sure how it will do in the box office. Not that I think it will bomb, but at the same time, it's hard to say.



 Aquaman & The Lost Kingdom- December 22


I did see the first Aquaman with my aunt, and my reaction towards it was mixed. I never particularly cared enough to see a sequel, so I most likely will not see this movie. Honestly, given the situation with Amber Heard (and Warner Bros.' not-so-great handling of Ezra Miller), I'm not sure if a lot of people are gonna wanna see this either. There is a HUGE possibility that this will bomb at the box-office. And given that critics weren't to crazy about the first one, they may not like this one either.


 
 Migration- December 22

I saw several TV commercials for this one. It doesn't look like anything special and I don't care enough to see it. But one thing that is ridiculous is that this comes out the same day as Aquaman and It may possibly do better than Aquaman. MIGHT, I'm only saying that because Aquaman has a lot going against it, were as this one, not so much aside from being the product of an animation studio with a reputation for producing family-friendly but mediocre movies (and also kicked butt this year with Super Mario Bros.).  Overall, I see this doing okay at the box-office, not so much with critics.



 The Color Purple- Christmas

I saw a trailer for this when I saw The Holdovers. It looked pretty good, but I'm kind of mixed on seeing it for personal reasons. I like the original one, but it does annoy me at times. And I told myself that I would not see it unless a family member wants to see it. I see critics loving this movie, but for stupid reasons. I don't know where it lands when it comes to box-office. It'll probably do decently, just not great.



The only other release I will call out is Renaissance, which came out last Friday. But the less I talk about Beyoncé, the better. Thanks For Reading.

American Idol 2025 Thoughts: Day 1

  American Idol  has officially reached its live shows so that means it's time to start the commentaries. For those of you who didn't track these last year, here's an explanation; I will be saying my thoughts on the contestants and their performances. In typical 'me' fashion, I will rank each performance to #1. But unlike my normal lists, this will be from worst to best.  This will be starting the following week as today is just an introduction. Our Top 24 has been chosen and they are as follows;     Canaan James Hill (Platinum)             Gabby Simone  Zaylie Windsor                         Mattie Pruitt  Thunderstorm Artis                  Drew Ryn  Che                                     ...

Introduction

Bio My name is Naomi Marie Elidios Chadwick. I was born in San Diego, California, but I currently live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I pretty much have a traditional family, which involves happily married parents, 1 younger sister, and an older brother. I was raised Christian, and I continue to practice Christianity to this day. This is not a spiritual blog but some of the content that I post is influenced by my faith. Every now and then I will post Christian content as well, just not always (except with Billboard ). The picture you see up above is me at the airport with my father after I graduated from AmeriCorps NCCC after 10 months of community service. In response I received a congressional award for community service. I've always been really proud of that. I was diagnosed with Asperger's (a form of Autism) around the age of 6, but I was not informed of my diagnosis until I was 12. I'm very into movies and television (animation especially), and pop culture as a whole, and I...

First Day Of 2024/2025 Awards Race

  It is about that time of year again where Hollywood gives out its most prestigious awards to most of the time the least deserving. But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna pay attention like always. But this year we will be shaking things up a little. Allow me to explain; 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. However, this year instead of focusing on just the target, 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 will be focusing on 5 awards; -The Golden Globes -The BAFTA's -The Critics Choice -The SAG Awards and Of Cour...
