Warfare Was A LOT😳

 

I have been hearing mostly good things about Warfare for a while now and I finally went to see it last Tuesday. Ray Mendoza, one of the directors for this movie, served with the US Navy during the war in Iraq. This film is based on his and his team's experience, one incident in particular.

This movie was so intense, there was A LOT to take in. The entire movie was an extremely raw depiction of war but also somewhat of a poignant depiction of brotherhood. You see the bonds that these men have created, it was surprisingly tender in such a dark and traumatizing situation. Because the movie was filmed in real time, we were their with our heroes from start to finish and witness the pure HELL they have to go through in its entirety. The shootings, the bombs, the grotesque imagery, the intensity, we see it all. Technically speaking this is my introduction to Alex Garland as I have not seen his other acclaimed work (Ex Machina, Civil War, etc). He's sounds like a talented dude, but I don't think this movie would be as unrestrained or affective as it is without Mendoza's influence. The film's rawness stems from Mendoza crafting this to which the audience sees a depiction of his experience as realistically as possible. Garland probably would've done a decent enough job with the story without Mendoza, but it sure as Hell would not be as affective with just Garland. 

The acting was kind of fantastic. Poulter and Quinn were probably my favorites. Poulter was somewhat becoming more unstable as the situation intensified and I can never get Quinn's screaming out of my head. The movie is relatively short, but I'm not really sure if that's a flaw. 

If you decide to see this movie, brace yourself. 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...
