2015 Triple Movie Review (Jurassic World, Avengers 2, Star Wars Force Awakens)

The Avengers 2-Age of Ultron-Avengers 2 isnt as good as the first, but its still very good and the characters have great chemistry. The villain, Ultron is supposedly a creation of Starks(Ironman) that goes Rogue. He can manifest in multiple robotic bodies, but he has just 2 main ones.

The story of the movie seems to be on par with the first film, but it just doesn’t seem as interesting. The special effects are on par. The fight with a out of control Hulk and a “VERONICA” Super Iron man suit are terrific. Ultron himself is a good villain who says random quotes. There’s even a new edition to the Avenger team.

Overall Avengers 2 was a great film but the bar has been raised high for every Marvel movie to come after it(Captain America 3…etc).

Rating: 9.0/10

Jurassic World- Jurassic World starts out slow but it’s a terrific movie. Its just like the first film in the series except there’s the Indominous Rex. It’s a really unstable dinosaur. It’s a T-rex and a Raptor put together, with other animals like Cuttle fish mixed in. The result is a terrifyingly smart killing machine.

Chris Pratt is the star of this movie. He is a raptor whisperer lol. I like the female lead as well. Ultimately the movie does kind of feel like JP4.0 but hey that’s what its supposed to be. The special effects are great, and the dinosaurs are great.

The only flaw is the movie starts out slow. The final scene between a raptor, T-rex and INdominous is terrific. The acting across the board is also pretty good.

Rating: 9.0/10

Star Wars The Force Awakens-Star wars has been remade, I mean literally. This movie mirrors A New Hope in so many ways, but it’s all on a grander scale. The special effects, acting and story here are all great.

The new villain, Kylo Ren is pretty cool. He’s clearly a Darth Vader wannabee. The film shows you that. He is the son of Han and Leia. The new protagonist Rey, her origins are unknown. The addition of Han as Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher as Leia was genius as both deliver good performances. The other main protagonist, Finn, the black storm trooper, also does a great job.

My biggest complaint with this film is Luke has NO LINES. The movie is a tad predictable but not entirely. So it’s a win…JJ Abrams is a great director.(STAR TREK)

Rating: 9.5/10

Nas Albums Worst to Best

20) Nastradamus (75)- It really shouldn’t be a surprise to see this one ranked so low. The lyricism isn’t abysmal but everything is pretty average. How does a song like “Big Girl” make it to a Nas album?? It’s just a boring album plain and simple….I don’t really have a lot to say about it. 19) Street’s Disciple (82) -I hate having this one so low. I honestly like a lot of the songs on this double disc. Unfortunately there’s quite a bit of filler here just like with Jay-z’s Blueprint 2. Disc one has hits like “Nazareth Savage”, “American Way”, “ Just a Moment” and “ You Know My Style”. Disc 2 has some heat on it too: “Suicide Bounce”, the title track, “Virgo”, “Bridging the Gap” and “Thiefs Theme”. 18) T he Lost Tapes 2 (86) -This one I admit I haven’t heard that much…but its pretty decent. It gets off to a good start with songs like “Vernon Family” and “Jarreau of Rap (Skatt Attack)”. A lot of these songs are ok….but not muc...

Album Review: Kid Cudi-Insano (regular version)

I gotta admit I didn't like this album that much when I first heard it over half a year ago. I've heard that Kid Cudi doesn't exactly play to his strengths....that's partly true. I do like his rapping here tho. Honestly most songs here kinda blend together....."Keep Bouncin'" is really hype....and it gets the album off to a good start. "At The Party" with Pharrell Williams and Travis Scott may be my favorite song. "Wow" with A$AP Rocky is another highlight. Overall tho I feel this album tries too hard to be trendy. Cudi needed to put more of his pain into it. I mean a happy Cudi album isn't a bad thing but it really seems odd to me. You're not getting alot of singing or hums here know what I mean? However the production I found to be very good. Cudi is one of my favorite rappers like top 20 and I guess this will do for 2024. Lyrics 20 Beats 23 Depth 21 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

Album Review: Lupe Fiasco's Tetsuo & Youth

Lupe has come back, and with a classic album. He seemed to be back on tracks with Food and Liquor II, but F&L2 wasn’t as fun to listen to as his earlier albums. Even LASERS was more fun. This album however, is very complex and fun to listen to. It’s also incredibly well produced. Lupe proves he’s still a top lyricist in the game. Check out his lyrical showcase on Mural, or storytelling on Prisoner 1 & 2. He’s got a really long song called Chopper which features a lot of guests but its all good. The last song might be the weakest which features Ab-Soul. No Scratches feat. Nikki Jean is one of my favorite songs here. The interludes are pretty intersing, but ultimately skippable. This album is already up for album of the year, and honestly it will be hard for anyone to match this effort. The verdict... its 10/10 for me. This is a great album
