Re: Bio

      Since I have been away for a while and I have been posting a while I want to tell you all a little bit about me.

      My name is Sinclair Portis and I am a journalism student at Troy University. I am originally from Birmingham, Alabama where I was born and raised.

      Growing up I played basketball and volleyball, I played a lot of other sports, but those are the ones that stuck all the way until high school. I also did a lot of reading and writing hence that blog and pursuit of this profession.

      My first job was at a movie theater which was very fitting because I love movies, television shows and literally anything to do with storytelling. I was better educated in the aspects of movies from one of my coworkers at the movie theaters.

      I love all genres of movies from Fantasy to Action to Drama. That also goes for books and television shows also. As of right now I have just finished the reboot of Prison Break and after my grief, I have finally found another show called The Leftovers which I will tell you about in a separate post.

     This blog will hold my opinions on movies, books and television shows with also ratings and critic views. News on upcoming movies, TV shows and books will also be an element of this blog.


      I will be sharing my updates through twitter and just for your convenience my blog is http://sinclairsnippets.blogspot.com/

Getting into Radio

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

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
