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.

So.......The Bride😕

So I was completely off-track with The Bride . Did not expect the film to crash and burn as hard as it did with both critics AND the box-office. After getting murdered, a woman by the name of Ida is brought back to life with the intention of being a companion to the oh-so iconic Frankenstein. And together they wreck havoc. Like Wuthering Heights , the movie wasn't terrible but it had a lot of problems. The biggest issue with this film is that it tries way too hard to be edgy and it just doesn't work. It wanted to be this hardcore feminist take on Frankenstein , but it just felt convoluted and slightly underwritten. It had this plotline involving Ida causing some revolution for women and did pretty much nothing with it until the last minute. It was kind of a let down. The best thing about the movie however was the performances and chemistry between Buckley and Christian Bale. I thought they were strangely endearing, and this might be a better love story than Wuthering Heights  (...

Last Minute Music Reviews

  So here are some last minute reviews of songs that I've heard over the past few months that did not reach #1;   Where Is My Husband - Raye This is incredibly fun and strangely catchy. While this is not officially a jazz song, this obviously has jazz influence and it works very well for this song. I will go ahead and admit that this is my introduction to Raya, I have not listened to Oscar Winning Tears . So far, I'm intrigued.    Midnight Sun - Zara Larsson This song is kind of AWESOME. Not only is the production GORGEOUS, but it also has a very nice hook that goes smoothly with Larsson's voice. My sister actually recommended this song to me and I see why. Larsson does currently have a Grammy nomination for this. She's gonna lose, but I'm glad this song got recognized. If my sister see's this, thank you.   How It's Done - Huntrix (From KPop Demon Hunters ) I have been meaning to review this for a while, but I kept getting lazy. Like Golden , this song has g...
