Funny Considering the Post Below...

You would be a classic flavor. Not a mixture of
several like chocolate chip cookie dough, but
more like just vanilla or just strawberry. You
honor time old traditions and pretty
conservative.

What ice cream flavor are you? (the one I took sucked so this one is way better :P)

Sunday Morning Movie Review

Black Panther was great. Just as Wonder Woman gave little girls a superhero to "look up to," little African boys (Yes, not just African American boys) have their own hero. But what was even better about this movie is that it was so much more. It wasn't a stereotypical Eddie Murphy or Whitney Houston movie. Even 5, 8 years ago, we wanted this to happen but this might have been just the right time. T'Challa is king of the fictional African nation of Wakanda that millennia ago became rich in a fictional mineral called vibranium that allowed them to become the most technologically advanced country on Earth. They decided to keep this secret, however, and disguised themselves with a cloaking shield and the guise of a "shithole country." (See? Relevance!)

Wakanda has reached a crossroads. Xenophobia is really no longer working. The villain of the movie, Wakandan by blood but certainly not upbringing, Killmonger, takes the throne in an effort to take the Black…

Ant-Man On The Ocean

I'll discuss Ant-Man and the Wasp in a minute but there's still a handful of thoughts about my viewing of Ocean's Eight I want to relay first... When the all-female Ghostbusters came out, there was the usual "raping of childhood" complaints. Ocean's Eight sidestepped many of these issues by being a spin-off of a remake that was already done. Sandra Bullock played the sister of George Clooney's Danny Ocean. (There was mention their father was als in the business. A reference to Frank Sinatra?) Also, if you want to do a all-female action and/or comedy movie, the heist genre isn't a bad way to go.

Soundtracks are usually "just there" for me. They seem to be usually selected for their beat and tempo and not their lyrics. Lindsay Lohan's Herbie: Fully Loaded was particularly noticeable in this regard for me but I was admittedly in a bad mood that night since I had rather watched The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe for whatever num…

Going Solo With The Reviews Today

This post will focus only on Solo: A Star Wars Story. Star Wars has always had controversy going back to the old, old Star Wars vs. Star Trek debate. It's funny that Solo was directed by Ron Howard as franchise creator George Lucas once recognized Ron's brother Clint during a casting session as Balok of the First Federation in the early Star Trek episode "The Corbomite Maneuver." I bring up this old argument only to point out when comparing the two as I've felt Star Trek (at least on TV. Harve Bennett dumbed down the franchise for the movies long before Star Wars fan JJ Abrams did...) that Trek was more intellectually stimulating while Wars was pure Good vs. Evil fun. Solo is a shining example of this and sunlight-deprived nerds are up in arms.

A friend pointed out to me the movie explained too many mysteries. According to the internet, the biggest, most controversial, reveal was where Han Solo's name came from. This was never a mystery worth…
