Ladybird
This is on my top 10 because it just seemed interesting. I am seeing this and the Billboards over misosurri. Yes extremely low profile movies and both run around 2 hours back to back. At this point I've rated a good deal of movies and usually come away liking 1-2 of a three category feature. A movie is seen as trivial to a lot of people and not a shared experience and I wonder how I view movies since it's usually an adaption of a book. It's kind of like a museum experience reading the type description and then experiencing it. So category one is the soundtrack, category 2 is cast, and category 3 is director or storytelling. If there would be a ANOTHER IT would be costume design.
Ladybird seems like a true story so I think it will simply just have a good soundtrack and cast. What i think will happen is that ladybird actress will be a disruptor since that's what people want to see and since it's about religion I think that there will be a strong resolution at the end since most religion stories do.

2018: A Year Of Art
Possibly a MONK who devotes his life to a stern wooden bed frame in a house I vow to never leave to a career of ritual.
Or maybe I will be a dog trainer, or a web developer, or a satire cartoonist. Either way I want to become something.
- For the second resolution I want the freedom to be able to travel and take many more spontaneous trips not only to write about but to explore with art and photography.
- My 3rd resolution is that wan to have a year of art. Trying different styles. 2015 was a year of reading 52 books on business, 2016 was a year of reading only fiction, and 2017 was a year of only writing, which turned out to be successful. So now is a year of art, and that’s one piece of art a day. Which is basically what I am doing now with writing. And then highlight the good parts and compile into the best of. To get started on this I will need a good sketch book, and to not lose all my art pencils like I usually do.
- Minimalist life in a backpack. I am almost there, since I have less than 8 pounds of clothes, and all of my things fit into two medium tupper bins, and will get it one once I replace my propane stove, kettle, and printer, cot, into something collapsible.
- I plan to develop a KPI of a full length project and to no work on too many projects at once, especially if they are new and have not finished my past projects. To do this I will be better at keeping physical folders of projects and limit it to 7 projects and 3 paused projects.
- Resolution to take more photos of me and my dog and puppies daily at my job. Because everyone likes to see photos of your dog, since most of my family is dead to me or just obsolete.
- My 7th resolution is lift 150 pounds daily and to run a total of 16 miles each week. Surprisingly this will be the most expensive resolution as a gym membership will be needed and 3 sneakers to about almost $500 total. But could compromise if I get a streak of 3 months.
- Resolution to be the best version of myself everyday. I remember when I would leave the house in jeans and a polo, and think “preppy” Now I won’t leave the house without a full suit and only black and white with large rim glasses and a complete buzz every two weeks. I just bought a double edge razer so now will shave more often without worry so much, and stay well-groomed.
- Resolution to be fluent in writing and reading french and spanish and chinese, or cross one thing off my bucket list each month.
- Resolution to use a day planner, Google Calendar and upgrade my Unhinged Titan Workbook to a smaller micro planner and reminder from the index cards to rolodex.
- Resolution to not read any books and focus inwardly completely and cut all bad relationships and bad ties from my past including California, Facebook/ Social Media, Family, and old friends to completely start new and be self sufficient and focus on my business, and basically let Shit Hit The Fan
- Keep my domains running smoothly for one year and update with big increments quarterly and internally update weekly.

Nerdex 80's Vibe, The Stranger Things 2 Review | WaitWhy
Of course its better but in what way, whas the dialogue up to par of the first? Yes and who was the main protagonist and antagonist. First this isn’t the first time I came away with mixed feelings but I finished the season in a weekend. Some questions remain are what about the dog in the fridge and what about the doctor in the stairwell and what about the psychic who was number 8, she doesn't look El's age, at all?
The show ranked a 10/10, its something I strive to do as a director, and is pretty much the Goosebumps of this generation.
The best scene was probably the one where arcade guy tried to get a date with Mike’s Sister, I liked the sound effects of the bag particularly.
I have to draw a line in the sand, that this is the final perfect review without changing the soundtrack. I absolutely loved the Soundtrack in the context of Season 1, but now I have to take it as Goosebumps that will not veer away from its audience's taste. Really? I was waiting for some new songs, like Hanging lights and Hazmats, and more but I couldn’t get any. And I was waiting for more 80’s references in wake of Ready Player One, but there was non either unless you call Middle School Parking Lots and White Noise, and cabins a good setting for a scary movie.
Read More Coming Soon.

Dunkirk Review
And the Oscar for best costume design goes
to Dunkirk…Preditction Bold Statement.
You can skip my banter and read the
Vulture’s Oscar Nomination predictions here: “…of those Oscar categories I’ve mentioned, I think Dunkirk
is well-positioned to score at least ten nominations” However, the Saving
Private Ryan feel of best costume design is looking like the The Darkest Hour
or Gaurdians of the Galaxy. I will try to make a case for Dunkirk getting the
Oscar.
First the reason why I believe the movie will be thrown in for the oscars early is because how could it not have better costumes than Harry Potter’s Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them. The Character’s outfits were the most important troupe of the movie and even dictated how much power one had over another. Without a lot of differences in setting, such as the beach, air, and boat, the costumes worn in the movie were perfect.
Ok first, was that I have to acknowledge
that I like military style, especially the kind from the Renaissance Era. You
can read more about it in the book Military Style Invades Fashion with men
wearing head scarves and hackers who look like they are from the Matrix. Tom
hardy’s Character used his costume to convey extreme emotion for a man who
plays the villain well. His aviator jacket, with a turtleneck and aviator
shades with sunglasses flip was amazing.
His braided oxygen mask was amazing!!His
goggles always let us in suspense in how distressing his eyes were and when he
put on his oxygen mask it was very villanous like his Bane Character.
The costumes worn by the land soldier was
also great and very symbolic because the opening scene we see a soldier taking
a uniform from another soldier who was being buried. There was a funny scene
when Harry Styles gets in one of the lines and then the person in front says
Infirmery Only!! Know one knew rank because it was chaos
After two hours of aerial footage,
and exploding dark boats with the same looking people, it made you feel distorted
like you were watching an alien spaceship. You lost all hope for the character
and personal touch because he was a blink in a sea of the exact same people.
That was expected.
The yacht men’s costume was also well played
because it made the clash of any new characters extremely discomforting because
the costumes were motifs for forces about to collide, like you wondered if they
were going to turn around because of how hostile the clash of citizen and army
soldier was.
Next was the internal politics I am not
going to reference this to the world today because there is absolutely no
comparing the scenario to anything that would be plausible. I am just saying
there was a prominent theme of internal conflict between the allies and you
begin to think would prisoners of war really turn on each other? Well, that’s
like saying would prisoners begin hurting each other like pawns in a chess
game? So, that’s where I draw the line because judging internal conflict is
like judging how one family decides to live.
Next, I left the theater when the I felt
like screaming for something. In the lobby I heard what sounded like a
chainsaw, true grit, and wanted to know what movie, then the next steps was to
just get in the last 15 minutes. Something finally fucking happened!! Like give
me a fucking movie of suspense and I will walk out before the monster shows on
the screen I don’t give a Fuck. I seriously thought I was watching March of The
Penguins meets Fashion Week in Paris.
Give me something, give me the fucking
transcripts of the radio calls. Give me the number of casulaties per day. Give
me something! All I got was a buch of 3 second clips and some shaky cameras
with a bunch of people standing still. No communication was portrayed. They
were absolutely the worst story tellers, and I am glad it wasn’t a space opera
with an even slower love narrative. Does anyone know how to ask a french for a
door for a raft?!
I hope I got the story right, but I
definitely see a gripe at an oscar in score ( I wore Mack’s Pillow Soft
Earplugs.) Then I would have took the sand bags from the French, and set up a
cliff as big as Normany and set up every single infantry man to shoot create a
wall of communication to track enemy planes instead of lying in the sand like a
2 year old kid. They weren’t defenseless they were victims of war.

Dunkirk Preview: Planet Earth For the Big Screen | 07-26-17
Dunkirk Preview:
Listen to the Full Soundtrack At:
01. 00:00 Hans Zimmer - The Mole
02. 05:37 Hans Zimmer - We Need Our Army Back
03. 12:06 Hans Zimmer - Shivering Soldier
04. 15:00 Hans Zimmer - Supermarine
05. 23:06 Hans Zimmer - The Tide
06. 26:57 Hans Zimmer - Regimental Brothers
07. 32:04 Hans Zimmer - Impulse
08. 34:42 Hans Zimmer - Home
09. 40:46 Hans Zimmer - The Oil
10. 46:59 Benjamin Wallfisch - Variation 15 (Dunkirk)
11. 52:51 Benjamin Wallfisch - End Titles (Dunkirk)
The most prominent part of the soundtrack is the sound which
makes the listener feel as if hovering in a helicopter thousands of feet in the
air away from the maddening crowd. There is something not right with the tempo,
and was not expecting this after listening to the Batman Vs. Superman
Soundtrack (I’ll reserve judgement.) So with the track favorite, it would be Home.
The soundtrack alone
would make me expect a war movie on the scale of the Planet Earth Series BBC.
You know the story behind how it was made, a massive camera on a helicpoter
without distrubing the scene but with more detail than a Mercedes car. I highly
anticipate that 85% of the movie will be scenes that were directly shot on a
helicopter or aerial footage.
Personally, this
soundtrack makes me anticipate a war scenes I prefer. Do I think it would be on
the scale of Lord of The Rings with over a million people clashing in a valley?
Probably not, but it could be similar to Troy when the thousands of ship arise
out the misty sea. However, I can almost guarantee that the Director has come a
long way since Spielberg’s War World 2 with shaky cameras on the battleground
following around a soldier, such as the one played by Tom Hanks.
At this time, I wanted to introduce a new segment called the
Meta Film World:
Currently Playing:
War for Planet of the Apes: Rotten Tomatoes 92%
Baby Driver: 94%
And Radio City Hall has a Hans Zimmer Show playing live.
IMDB Score of Dunkirk: 86%
Ropert And Ebert Score: 3.5/4
The Mummy Review - Good effort, Boring, Merciful Monster Movie
The Mummy Review
Overall, The movie was definitely better than expected after hearing the reviews. In the review, I will mention the quality of two story lines in the monster movie. One being the Monster Hunters, kind of like an anti Agent Shield (skip if you don’t get the reference.) The next being the overall perspective and how the main character develops on screen.
The Monster Hunter Group, called Prodigium , which goes into the politics of monsters and social control more than the scientific experiments. They don't like to do a lot of science experiments and have the King Kong storyline approach to villains, capture. I couldn’t believe the mercy story line like in King Kong movies, where they take the enemy as a prisoner, and it develops feelings for someone. In other Mummy Movies, they never tried to contain the Mummy because it was unstoppable power. They definitely could have done better with the monster off-screen than gift wrapping a monster for the screen. It was twenty times better than Kong but was not the relentless movie I saw with Alien Covenant. Bring Van Helsing Back, and kill the beasts!
One more thing about Prodigium is that Russel Crowe could have been a better contributor to the story if they let him out of his prison environment. Perhaps he could be the Van Helsing, merciless monster killer if he was Mr. Hyde outside of the office.
Next, the overall excitement was not there. It was not as good as Tom Cruise playing Nick Morton, the sand soldier, and journalist, and deep sea diver, along with Jen. The soundtrack was good but not very present as much as the high pitch screaming. The story was told phenomenally because it started with Vain and Main Character and ended in a full circle. Can I expect that they buried the mummy in the same place? The story line was told great because it was giving equal dialogue to the villain by sharing their understanding of the world, as much as the need to kill the Mummy and have the antithesis be smoke and mirrors.
My only problem was that if I entered the movie theater at any one time, I wouldn’t know if I missed the main action scene because everything was squished together at the end. I definitely think they could have made a more climactic middle, and that’s where I think they lost their audience on the boring part.

Richard Reoper says its about a mummy princess in modern day London. There is much hope with the cast Crowe and Cruise. He says it was horrible dialogue which sounds pretty fitting with today's time. Nothing like extremely underwhelming so I'll go right into the preview.
It's the Mummy, and doesn't expect to take home any oscars but to just put a new coat of paint on the original big time blockbuster the mummy. The soundtrack says it stays true to its toolkit of ancient hieroglyphs, true underlying plot twists, and the occasional bad person turns good. So the artist's work is in how they have defined a new ancient goddess into today's society. I give to director who stay within the frame of a plot and doesn't go off the rails. Could you imagine a WWII movie that showed a fantasy side, or that aliens came in to support the Germans? No! The director stays within their frame and walks a line in the sand (no pun intended) I have sat through really boring history lessons on the Romans and more, but I was intrigued because it was true or at least some of it. Here are some things I learned from the soundtrack.
Prodigium: Monstrous in Latin
Amunet: A primordial goddess around 2000 BC
Enchantments: A spell magic shit
Sanctum: A sacred phace within a temple or church
Pathogen: A Bacterium, virus that can cause disease, otherwise the opposite of a enchantment
Sepulcher: A small room built in a rock which a dead person is laid or buried
Senteince: Able to perceive feeling or Feel things (a 6th sense)
Verdict, I believe the pathogen will be released and the dark princess and Russel Crowe will call it an enchantment, but Tom Cruise will be realistic. I also believe that they will end the plot with a transfer of power to another location, for instance they found the Mummy at place X, and then will end the movie with another find at place Y and will come in a complete circle, and some knight in shining armor will destroy the mummy princess. I also see either Russel Crowe and Tom Cruise not ending the series here, as they are both very into their work whether it be about Scientology or a drama movie by Crowe, it was a very intentional choice of roles.
