Well folks, it happened. I started a blog. It took me about six months of being at Bethel to create one, which I must say is longer than most. Nevertheless, here I am. I think it’s no surprise that the basis of my blog will be something I am most passionate about. Which narrows it down to three topics. 1) Soccer 2) Movies and 3) cowbell. As much as I would love to talk about soccer tactics or discuss why the cowbell is an essential part to 80s music, I’m going to stick to movies. For those of you who don’t follow my Instagram, I am currently on a 24 week movie streak. That’s right, for the past 24 Tuesday’s I have gone to a movie at a movie theater. This includes Christmas, New Years, and later in April, the day after Tax Day, which might be the most relaxing day of the year. Not for me. I’m in the trenches reviewing movies. I’ve gone in a snowstorm, a thunderstorm, a hailstorm, and everything in between. People always ask me why. Why do you go to so many movies Jaran? The answer is…I go for you. The people. You deserve to know if a movie is good or not. We all have been not a movie that the so called “experts” at Rotten Tomato or IMBd say it good but turns out to be terrible, and vice versa. I provide the unbiased opinion that you deserve. With that being said, this week I saw Fighting With My Family.

“Born into a tight-knit wrestling family, Paige and her brother Zak are ecstatic when they get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to try out for the WWE. But when only Paige earns a spot in the competitive training program, she must leave her loved ones behind and face this new cutthroat world alone. Paige’s journey pushes her to dig deep and ultimately prove to the world that what makes her different is the very thing that can make her a star” – Wikipedia
So when I first took a look at this cast, I was very confused. The Rock, obviously, is in plenty of blockbuster movies, but he’s not playing Hobbs from Fast and Furious in this film. What I’m saying is if you are going to this movie to watch The Rock, I am telling you not to go. He doesn’t play a huge role in this film, and is only in a few scenes. As for the rest of the actors and actresses, I would say they are what brings this film’s score down. That and the fact that WWE is not the most attractive sport or activity the movie could be about. The WWE in this movie looks very fake and the action is not well put together. If you plan on seeing this movie to watch cool wrestling, DONT. However, there are some great parts to this movie, especially the lessons you can learn. Staying true to yourself, not generalizing or judging people you don’t know, and others come up often in this movie.
