Thor Ragnarok Review: Big Monster

So, where do I begin with this review of Thor Ragnarok especially if I don't want to spoil it?  This is a tricky one considering the movie felt like a concurrent story of what Hulk and Thor were up to during Captain America Civil war, and based on how everything plays out, that is okay.

Visually, Thor Ragnorak is stunning!  In thinking back to the first two Thor movies, I always felt like I was watching a hyped up version of a medieval action flick, but this time things were more modernized.  Although Asgard still appears mostly magical technology is infused making Ragnarok less Middle Earth and more Blade Runner.  As a Science Fiction fan, this was much appreciated!

Movie Review: Girls Trip

Girls Trip roared into the box office last weekend to the tune of $30 million and my wife and I were glad to be apart of the opening weekend sales cause #BlackMoviesMatter. And while my #1 complaint about Black Hollywood is the lack of new faces, the reunion- based plot of Girls Trip completely defeated my hang up about the usual suspects (Regina Hall, Queen Latifah) in Black lead roles. #GetMoney tho. But Girls Trip did showcase one new(ish) face in Tiffany Haddish stealing the show as "Dina", the crazy friend.

Back In The Day: Bone thugs n harmony - The Art of War

Bone thugs n harmony released The Art of War, the follow up to the classic E. 1999 Eternal album, 20 years ago on July 29, 1997. Now, I'm no old fogie but kids today will never know the joy of their favorite rap group/artist dropping a double-cd album (or CD-only bonus tracks). Maybe that's the equivalent of Future dropping 2 albums in 2 weeks?
