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, but it's not the worst either.


The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

I absolutely loved this movie. I actually read this during elementary school and completely forgot about it. Not only was the movie incredibly heartwarming, but it was also hilarious. And I of course appreciate the spirituality in the movie; why Jesus was sent down here in the first place, witnessing the Nativity Story for the first time (and what a true experience that can be), and the significance of being and thinking like Jesus even when everything else around you (sometimes even within the church as much as it kills me to say that) tells you otherwise. I really enjoyed this movie, considering it's from the same person who created The Chosen that's not really surprising


Continuing on this conversation of Jesus' birth, I also watched the movie Mary recently. Because I'm not exactly sure how I feel on the dramatic license that was used for the movie, I will not be reviewing it. I'm conflicted on whether or not I should be concerned about it. I'm also a little conflicted over it's accuracy as well. I don't trust my judgement. And because this is obviously a biblical matter, I don't wanna take any chances of supporting the wrong side. So I won't review it. The only other movie I refuse to review this year is Dune. Check out my Facebook post through the link down below. Thanks For Reading.

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...

American Idol 2025 Day 2: Top 24

  I would like to say that for the first week of live shows, a good majority of contestants either did REALLY good or better than they should have. I personally was very impressed with the last 2 days. With that being said, I still gotta rank. Today I will be ranking every single performance from worst to best. This ranking is solely based on my opinion. If you have not read last week's introduction, I highly suggest you read that first before this ranking;   Worst Performance Of The Week:  Baylee Littrell Happy - Pharrell This really kills me. Not sure what he was thinking with this song choice #23: Josh King I'm Still Standing - Elton John Him and Baylee equally sucked. But at least this song was more in Josh's league #22: Olivier Bergeron   I'm Not Okay - Jelly Roll He's kind of bland to me #21: Desmond Roberts Do I Do - Stevie Wonder Needs to calm down a little #20: John Foster Callin' Baton Rouge - Various Also kind of bland #19: Kyana Fanene I Am - St...
