Glen Powell Surprised Me

Hit Man is a black comedy released in Venice last year before it was made available to Netflix a few weeks ago. Hollywood's new leading man Glen Powell portrays a college professor who also serves as a hit man for the New Orleans Police Department. Things get relatively complicated when he meets a woman he's supposed to bust and falls in love with her.

This is a very good movie. I was pleasantly surprised by how sophisticated (albeit slightly risqué) the writing was. It was very smooth and had several unexpected turns as well. Glen Powell was very good in this. Given the different type of characters he has to portray in this, I was impressed by how well he pulled off each disguise. I was even more surprised that he pulled off Gary Johnson's real identity. Gary's a nerd, and doesn't know how attractive he is until he becomes a hit man. I cannot believe I actually found Powell believable as a nerd as well as the other personas. His chemistry with Adria Arjona was also good. And lastly, I liked Austin Amelio as Jasper (the jerkface who originally had Gary's job). He was a very good antagonist.

There's not really a lot of negatives in this movie to be honest. I highly recommend it. 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...

What The Hell Did I Even Watch!?!🤣

I think ever since Lady Gaga's performance in A Star Is Born , musicians have been trying to jump in on the band wagon. The Weekend is one of those musicians who's trying, and failing miserably. First he tried with The Idol , and we all saw how that crashed and burned. And now he decided to turn his newest album Hurry Up Tomorrow into a movie, where he plays a fictionalized version of himself. Oh yeah, Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan are in this too. The Weekend is obviously on this vendetta to prove to people that he can act, and it's getting kind of pathetic. The movie is just.....not good. There's barely even a plot, it's just an elongated music video that involves The Weekend crying too much. Now, I will give him some credit for actually trying this time (unlike in The Idol ). But unfortunately, instead of coming off as a troubled musician, this felt like I was watching one of the 3-5 year-olds my mom deals with at her job. I'm aware that this movie was in...
