Painful As Hell😣

 


Jack Quaid seems to be having a very good year as I just watched him be a total douche in Companion, and now he's the hero for this. Novocaine centers on Nathan Caine, a relatively pathetic bank executive who lives a sheltered life due to his inability to feel pain. That all changes when he meets Sherry, who gives him a little taste of life before being held hostage during a bank robbery. So Mr. Novocaine decides to take it upon himself to save his girlfriend, and it is a very painful experience.

I'll tell you what, Mr. Quaid may not have felt a thing throughout this movie, but I sure as Hell did. The injuries they put this man through were absolutely ridiculous. It got to the point where it physically hurt just watching this. Basically, I was hurting for him since he can't feel anything (physically, not emotionally). I wish I could go into the details, but technically speaking that's spoiling the movie. With that being said, that doesn't mean the movie was bad, it's actually very good. The film's painful nature is what makes it stand out and resulted in some incredible action sequences. Yes they are very unsettling to watch, but for that same reason you can't really look away either.

Ironically after despising him in Companion, I wanted to give Quaid a hug in this. Not just because of his EXTREMELY bad injuries, but because his character was genuinely likable. Nathan was a total sweetheart, and too innocent to be involved in this situation in the first place. But his girl was in trouble, and was willing to go through Hell and high water for her. It's easy to root for him and that's pretty much owed to Quaid's versatility. The love story between Nathan and Sherry was really sweet (and slightly heartbreaking) and there was also a relatively sweet development between Quaid and Jacob Batalon's character.

This movie has nepotism written all over it as in addition to Dennis and Meg's offspring, Jack Nicholson's son Ray is also starring as the bad guy. 1; he is the spitting image of his father. 2; he was a JERK in this. In other words, he also did a good job. I wouldn't have wanted someone to run him over with a car if he didn't. 

By The Way: There's a twist involving Sherry. You have been warned

Novocaine was a fun and agonizing ride. I highly recommend it. 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...

Deadpool: Marvel's Favorite Idiot

  Deadpool & Wolverine was probably the most anticipated movie of the year. With Disney taking over Fox and Deadpool joining the MCU , the time has finally come for the finishing result. Wade Wilson (portrayed of course by Ryan Reynolds) is offered to be taken out of his dimension in favor of the MCU. The only problem is his dimension is in the process of disintegration after the evens of Logan (😢) and Tom Wambsgans- I mean Mr. Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen) decides to end its misery and destroy it instead of waiting for the inevitable. Obviously this doesn't sit well with Wade, so he turns to a more incompetent version of Wolverine (one deemed the "worst" Wolverine) to help save his dimension.  This movie was exactly what a Deadpool movie needs to be, stupid as HELL. Deadpool remains an idiot and his dynamic with Wolverine was very well paced. Reynolds and Hugh Jackman's chemistry was very good and surprisingly very balanced. Both characters had their fair-sh...

Top 10 Signature Songs

  You know how an artists has that one song that pretty much defines their career and who they are as an artist? This is a list of those songs. Please keep in mind that just because an artist and their song is on the list doesn’t mean I like the song or the artist (especially the artist). It just means that I acknowledge the impact and importance of the song and/or artist. One song per artist. #10: The Real Slim Shady- Eminem Technically speaking, Lose Yourself is more notable than The Real Slim Shady . But I feel like this song really set the standard on who Eminem is as an artist. He pretty much hit the jackpot when coming up with such an iconic nickname, and Eminem presents it with so much personality, style, rhythm and aggression that it just works. I'm not even sure if it could have as much of an effect on people with someone else in the track. Only Eminem could make it work. Again I have nothing against Lose Yourself , in fact I love that song more than this one. But I feel ...
