Summer Recap and What to Look Forward to. Spoilers!

As this post is on the first of September, I only think it's right that I start off with a recap. From Finding Dory to Star Trek, over all we had a pretty good summer selection. I worked for a theater for the last two summers and it was filled with awesome people and perks. One of which being getting to watch all the movies for free.

This summer I returned from college and the first thing I watched was the much anticipated Captain America: Civil War. This movie, as many Marvel movies recently, was a success. The movie was more of a Avengers Civil War movie than one about Captain America. With all the Avengers in attendance, new and old, the movie was filled with nonstop action.

Though I have not read the comics for this movie, I was kindly informed of the fate of Captain America. Though this a prominent part of the comics, I believe, this was sorely left out of the movie. Marvel seems to be going off the books on this one like many other movies these days.

In entirety the movie was pretty awesome. The plot was complete and it gave development of characters like Scarlet Witch, Vision and Falcon. Also it gave an introduction to the much anticipated Spider-man, who was more like a spider-boy, but he was cute. Also Black Panther was introduced and so loved that he has his own movie on the way. The rest of the more popular characters, Iron Man and Captain America, gave great performances. And as a movie watcher not a critic, I always say if it entertained me, it did its job and was a good movie.

The next movie I would like to speak of, among the many children movies that came out this summer, my favorite was Secret Life of Pets. In strong competition to the long anticipated Finding Dory, the movie held up strong. Though PG, the movie was fit for all ages. The characters were not only adorable, but full of life and emotion. The movie was hilarious, but also heartfelt and romantic.

My favorite character being Gidget. This feisty little Pomeranian was quirky, cute and hardcore. She saw what she wanted and went after it. Not to mention she totally kicked butt in end one of the last scenes. She also turned a hawk, Tiberius, into her best friend after he almost ate her.

Though these are only two of the movies I watched this summer there were many more that were worth the watch, some being: X-men: Apocalypse, Now You See Me 2, The Conjuring 2, The BFG, Legend of Tarzan, Star Trek: Beyond and so much more.

In theaters now: Ben-Hur, War Dogs, Kubo and the Two Strings, Southside with You, Hands of Stone, Don’t Breathe and more.
I hope this blog was interesting if not helpful. Enjoy your movie watching.

Suicide Squad post added also.

Getting into Radio

Image
As we continue to talk about entertainment and all variations of this I think there is one that I have been leaving out. Recently I have been working with a with a public radio station and it has been eye opening to the entire platform.  A lot of people think that radio is just the local music channel you listen to. This channel play music and commercials and might talk every once in a while. While that is a type of radio that is not all radio is.  Public radio is news and interesting stories that you can listen to. They have everything that happening now all around the country and internationally. They also have interesting stories about prisons, ticks and convicts. Its like Facebook to your ears.  The process of public radio is also very hard, but also very cool. As an intern I do stories that air in a special segment. Though this is only one type journalism it works about the same way. You find a story, you go after the story, you get the story and you broad

Wonder Woman and Feminism

Image
With the recent release of the Wonder Woman movie, I only find it right to give a reason of why this is such a big deal.  Wonder Woman was created as a figure of the feminist move and has been fight for a spot on the big screen for years. She has been in comic since 1942 and this her only film on the big screen. As the figure of Feminism Wonder Woman has been through her ups and down in a world of men. Her outfit, origin, powers and equipment have all gone through changes because of this. Censorship and sexism is the only way to put it when talking about why this has happened.  Through the years some things have stayed the same for the most part. She is borne of the Amazon Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons. She was raised on Paradise Island and only left when her love interest Steve Trevor and learned of the unforgiving world that we live in. She is Princess Diana of Themyscira, but goes by the alias Diana Prince.  Though she has been in many animated movies and

How To Get Start With Comics

As I continue to talk about comics and what is happening with the in the entertainment with them, I thought it would nice to help those of you who are just getting in to comics. In this post I will tell you my way of getting into comics.  1. First you want to pick a direct character.  Whether is be the Flash or Iron Man you need to pick a place of jumping into these stories. Most of the stories are intertwined with other characters and groups like Justice League and Avengers. Even though this may not be the only character you want to follow, its good to find a starting place because these stories have a lot of twist and turns. These comics have also been going on for a very long time and have changed with the times. So your character might have different people that take the name and you need to be specific on what or who you want to follow. So for Flash you have to pick between Jay Garrick, Barry Allen and Wally West to pick which The Flash you want to follow. Some peop
