Ballerina Review


So Ballerina is obviously a spinoff of the John Wick franchise and pretty much what Trigger Warning was trying to be but failed miserably. Starring Ana de Armas as the title character, the movie centers on a ballet dancer (and assassin) seeking vengeance for her father. She does eventually encounter the Baba Yaga himself.

I liked it. Like Mission Impossible, it did what it needed to do. It provided lots of action and thrills, and thankfully our protagonist wasn't an unlikable jerk. That was my biggest worry about the film, I assumed they would make her better than John Wick simply for being a girl. But the movie still managed to make a skilled female protagonist without disrespecting Wick himself. Eve is a BOSS female character done correctly without over-doing it, and I really appreciate that. 

The fight scenes were amazing. Some of them were EXTREMELY creative, which is something the John Wick franchise is known for. This thankfully did not hold back. This movie also somewhat highlighted fathers, which I also really appreciated (also considering it's almost Father's Day, perfect timing). 

My only flaw with the movie is that there was a certain character they could've expanded just a little bit more. But honestly, it could've been a whole lot worse. This movie isn't amazing, but I do approve. And more importantly my aunt approves. 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.

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...

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...
