Top Movies of 2017

1.       Transformers The Last Night-I really enjoyed Transformers 5. It was a firm step in the right direction despite some serious continuity errors with the first 3 movies. Despite that the cast is great and the action….you know I like that action! I cannot wait for #6.

2.       Star Wars The Last Jedi-This is my 2nd pick…but I’ve only seen it once, so in the future I may look back and say this was my favorite film. TLJ is amazing by all accounts. The middle part is kinda uneven but I like the fact they made it different than Empire Strikes Back. I think this movie had a couple climaxes.

3.       Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2-This barely beat out Thor, but yeah its really an improvement over the original to me. It is really funny and the plot is really good. I found the movie slightly predictable….but it’s a win for Marvel.

4.       Thor Ragnarok-Thor 3 is a terrific film. Its well-paced and very interesting. Its also a funny movie unlike its predecessors….or I should say it goes out of its way to be funny. I didn’t really like the way it ended however.


5.       King Kong Skull Island-I really enjoyed this movie. It was a lot different than King Kong (2005) …which I also liked. Kong is a lot bigger as are his adversaries. Samuel Jackson’s character’s demise at the hands of Kong was fitting. That final fight tho….wow.

Album Review: Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign-Vultures 1

 This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good.   Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85

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

Video Game Review: Jedi Survivor

 About a week ago or so I beat Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Im so happy I got a chance to play it cause they put it on PS4....yes I sadly as of early 2025 do not have a PS5 yet. But anyways I thought the game was considerable improvement over Jedi Fallen Order in most ways.  The game is set a few years after the end of the first game. One thing I like is you keep all your Jedi techniques from the first game Jedi Fallen Order. You can force push and pull and double jump right from the jump. Early in the game you also get access to a new lighstaber form dual wield. In this game there are 5 lightsaber forms. Single is good in any situation but not the best for ideal situations. I think double bladed has good defense but low range. Dual wield is fast but has low defense. Later on you get access to a blaster form which has great range. Then there's the Cross-guard which is Kylo Ren's lightsaber form...its slow in this game but has high damage and defense to it. The enemy variety in the...
