Ridiculous (And I Love It)

 



So almost a week ago, I went to see The Fall Guy with my dad. Loosely based on the TV show of the same name, Colt Seavers is a stuntman who suffered a nasty accident resulting in him quitting. He returns a little over a year later when his girlfriend directs her first movie, only to find himself at the center of a conspiracy. 

This movie was HILARIOUS from start to finish. It's nothing amazing plot-wise and according to my dad it is a departure from the original series (I've never seen it, so I don't know, or care). But the movie wasn't really made to be serious, it was made to be fun, and that is exactly what it was. I'm strangely developing an application for Ryan Gosling (not that I hated him or anything, I just never really cared for him). He was awesome (his character really needs a vacation though) and his chemistry with Emily Blunt (whom I've always loved) was perfect. Basically the whole surprisingly small cast stood out in their own way. We got a cameo appearance from the original "Fall Guy" Lee Majors, which was a very nice touch

I like that the movie pays tribute to the stunt-doubles in the industry. And considering all the crazy things they have to due, they deserve all the credit they can get. The stunts in the movie themselves were some of the craziest I've ever seen in a movie and it's INSANE that people get paid to nearly kill themselves (Hell, some of them actually have). So if there's any group of people in the film industry that really deserve to be recognized (and need a vacation), it's stunt doubles.       

I do highly recommend this movie if you're looking for a good time. 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.

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...

My Top 10 Best Movies Of 2024 (Part 2)

  So, now it’s time for the best list. This is obviously a list of what is in my opinion, the best movies of 2024. Before anything else, just a quick reminder that I have chosen not to review or rank the films  Mary  &  Dune: Part Two   due to my conflicting feelings on them. So you won’t see either of those 2 on this list. If you would like an explanation for 1 or both movies, there are 2 links down below. If there’s an acclaimed movie you were expecting to see on this list that you didn’t see, check out my “Movies You Won’t See” post through the link down below.  #10:  The Bikeriders God-honest truth, the main reason I saw this movie is because of my soft spot for Austin Butler. Though definitely not the strongest movie, this was really good. Its strong points were the performances and the twists. While Austin wasn’t THE standout, he did do a really good job and truly embraced his inner James Dean. The standout however was indeed Tom Ha...
