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

My Top Rappers of All Time List

30) Rick Ross (7.7) Essential Album: Teflon Don Starting off the list is Ricky Rossay. Ross has great delivery and a lot of good albums. He scores really high in the versatility category. Ross’s pen game has definitely gotten better from when he debuted in 2006 with Port of Miami. Ross’s biggest flaws were his storytelling and impact. Otherwise solid MC.     29) Young Jeezy (7.8) Essential Album: The Recession Another dirty south MC. Jeezy is one of my favorite rappers. He has a lot of good albums with no real duds. He does have the best ad libs in the game. His collaboration and versatility are high. He really brings the heat on his features. Storytelling and Impact weren’t that high but hey; hes tied with the next rapper.   28) Nicki Minaj (7.8) EA: The Pinkprint Arguably the most dominant female rapper of all time. Nicki really shines when features on others tracks. She usually steals the show like on Kanye West’s “Monster” song. She’s also really versatile; able to sing also and

My Favorite R&B Albums (as 2023 list)

Here are my favorite R&B albums. I'm not gonna do the countdown....I'm just going to list them. The last time I did a list like this was 2013. 1.       Rihanna-Good Girl Gone Bad- As her best album and the album that made her a star…it’s only right that as my favorite singer Rihanna takes the title. GGGB isn’t a perfect album but I love it. There’s a little something for everyone here. The smooth “Lemme Get That”, the party anthem “Don’t Stop the Music”, and the jam “Umbrella” featuring Jay-Z. “Hate that I love You” featuring Ne-Yo is really good too. This album is just always a blast to listen to. 2.       Amerie-In Love & War- When I made this list about 10 years ago, this was the number one album. I love this album so much. I was considering her “Because I Love it” album for this list too, but I don’t really go back to that one that much. This album is just a flamethrower of R&B execution. That first half is great with songs like : “Heard Em All”, “Why R U”, and

My Favorite Rap Albums (As of 2024) List

1.       Kanye West-Graduation -Coming in at number one we have Kanye’s 3 rd  album. Sure it’s not his best or flashiest but damnit I love it so much. Listening to this album just gives me so much joy honestly. “Champion” is a great song, then there’s a fan favorite pick “I Wonder”. I do think the lyrically dense “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” is the best track. Who could forget the smooth “Flashing Lights”. It really amazing that Kanye was able to create another great soundscape that sounded very different than College Dropout and Late Registration. Honestly this album isn’t my favorite by leaps and bounds over the top 10; but its certainly still my favorite rap album. 2.       Ludacris-Word of Mouf- Coming in at number 2 is Ludacris. I think this album is his best while others may say Release Therapy or Chicken & Beer. Fun fact this was the first album I ever bought. Sure there’s some filler…but this album has a lot of Ludacris’s best tracks on it. There’s “Rollout”, “Move Bitch”, “Area
