A Complete Final Review

 


I’m not really a fan of Bob Dylan. I’ve got nothing against him or anything, I’ve just never particularly cared for his music with the exception of one song (Make You Feel My Love, and even that is mainly because of Adele). With that being said, Hollywood is relying a little too much on biopics lately, especially this year given 2 not-so-great ones were released early 2024 (Back To Black and Bob Marley: One Love). So when a biopic about Dylan was announced, I was underwhelmed. So on Christmas, the Dylan centered biopic lead by Timothée Chalamet , A Complete Unknown was finally released. 

The movie was fine, that’s pretty much it. I wasn’t amazed nor was I disappointed by it. It did what it needed to do, it showed its interpretation of his life and did it relatively decently. Dylan is a very strange dude, that’s my impression of him after watching this movie. I won’t deny that he’s talented, but also very strange, which I think is part of his charm as an artist. Chalamet did a good job, but that’s not really much of a surprise. The only other people who really stood out aside from him were Norton, Fanning, and Barbaro. The music sequences were very good, I honestly was unaware that Chalamet did his own singing. I’m very impressed by that (which says a lot considering I hate when non-singers try to sing). Not really a lot of negatives to be honest.

It’s a decent film, just nothing amazing in my opinion. This is my last review of the year and part 1 of my movies of 2024 will be released most likely next week (or later this week). Thanks For Reading and Happy New Year!

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...
