Big Releases For January

 



The first releases of the new year. Like every month I will be addressing notable releases of the month, my personal thoughts on how they might do, and whether or not I will see them. I will only be speaking on 2 movies for today.





 The Book Of Clarence-January 12

This movie was actually released last year at a festival, however it will be released internationally next week. Set in Jerusalem during biblical times, a dude named Clarence attempts to turn his life around by capitalizing the rise of Jesus. I will not see this movie as I do not trust any type of biblical movie in Hollywood with today's climate. If someone I know and trust sees it and approves of it (most likely a family member), I may change my mind, but I highly doubt that will happen. Critics already approve of this movie, so it might do well at the box-office (not that critics are the main draw to a movie, but it helps).



 
 Mean Girls- January 12


I have seen the original Mean Girls once or twice, and I do like it, I just don't hold to high regards like others. It of course centers on Cady Heron and her attempts to survive high school after being homeschooled for most of her life, which is a difficult tasks when it involves Regina George. As you can see, this comes out the same day as The Book Of Clarence. Unlike Book Of Clarence, I probably will go see Mean Girls out of curiosity. I'm not exactly sure how critics are gonna feel about it mainly due to the trailer kind of rubbing people the wrong way. This might do decently at the box-office mainly due to the iconic status of the original. 


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                                     ...

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...

Red One & The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

I present to you, a Christmas Double Review. Red One centers on The Rock and Captain America trying to find J.K. Simmons (Santa) after he's been kidnapped. The Best Christmas Pageant Ever  is obviously based on the book of the same name and of course involves throwing a Christmas pageant with some of the worst kids in existence.  Red One This was a very strange movie. I don't hate it as much as others do, but I see why people hate it. I will admit there were some parts that were a little too ridiculous and I didn't laugh as much as I would've liked. Also, with all due respect to Kiernan Shipka, she was not a good casting for the main villain. Her performance just didn't work for me. She wasn't intimidating at all, and she still looks like a child. I'm sorry but I just could not take her seriously. But I also feel it had some heartwarming moments as well, particularly involving Chris Evans' character and his son. I wouldn't say this movie was good, bu...
