Sarah's Oil & The Lost Bus

 I bring to you another double review; let's start with Sarah's Oil. Staring Zachery Levi, Sarah's Oil is a biographical film centered on the pre-teenaged Sarah Rector's battle to drill oil from her land with a little bit of help from Levi. Then we have The Lost Bus, which involves Matthew McConaughey transferring a bus with America Ferrera and 22 kids to safety in the mist of a wildfire gone bad. 


Sarah's Oil


I was actually disappointed with Sarah's Oil. What disappointed me about it was that the film was marketed as a faith-based movie when the finishing product obviously wasn't. It was a race movie at its core and it should've been marketed as that. You can't just stick a random gospel song and a small insignificant prayer on certain scenes and call it a faith-based movie. The spirituality in this was fake. On the flip side, I liked Zachery Levi. 


The Lost Bus

Now this movie I liked. Not only was the acting solid, but the movie had my heart pounding a good majority of the time. This movie was a true thrill ride and I was so scared for these people. This being based on a true story definitely added to my fear. You will also feel horrible for Matthew McConaughey as he's trying so hard to do right by his family but always comes up short. Loved this movie, would watch it again.

  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                                     ...

First Day Of 2024/2025 Awards Race

  It is about that time of year again where Hollywood gives out its most prestigious awards to most of the time the least deserving. But that doesn't mean I'm not gonna pay attention like always. But this year we will be shaking things up a little. Allow me to explain; Here's How This Works: Each year, I will have a target subject I'm rooting for this season. When the nominations for each award show are announced, I will do a small commentary on whether or not the subject has a chance of winning. However, this year instead of focusing on just the target, I will also be focusing on those I think are frontrunners in different categories for the season as a whole, whether I'm rooting for them or not.  I will most likely say a last minute thought the day before the award show. I will be tracking down all the way up to the big dogs: THE OSCARS. The Awards: We will be focusing on 5 awards; -The Golden Globes -The BAFTA's -The Critics Choice -The SAG Awards and Of Cour...

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, bu...
