Class Movie 1: The Jungle Book

    This past summer, my class went out to the movies and saw "The Jungle Book" 
 It tells the tale of an orphaned boy named Mowgli living in a remote part of the 
 jungle. He befriends a bear named Baloo. 
     I can't give a review of this since I was out sick with a bad cough and didn't get
 a chance to see it. My classmates reported back and said they enjoyed it alot. I 
 did see the 1967 animated version when I was little. My favorite character in the 
 movie is Baloo.

My Bittersweet Saturday in Oakland

      My Bittersweet Saturday in Oakland:

     Going to see the Oakland A's play has always been fun for me. But today was 
the worst day I've ever had at a baseball game. Since they were playing the NY
Yankees I didn't think nothing much of it. Until it started filling up with NY fans
in my section. I wondered where did they come from?
      [edit: most likely transplanted fans that bought tickets from resellers.]

     Every time they scored on us, they cheered loudly. To vent my frustrations,
I booed as loud as I could at them making sure I wasn't going to put up with their
behavior. To make it even worse some NY putz brought two vuvuzelas with him 
and blew them when they scored. It got really obnoxious quite fast. 
     Even though they lost the game, I had a good time hanging out with my cousin.

     I had a bad cough that day so it made me feel tired. On top of that, after I finished
my lemonade, I coughed up alot of phlegm.

    To make up for the bad time that I had, we went out to eat at a local sports bar called 
Masse's. Me and my cousin Eric played ping-pong, bean bag game called cornhole, 
and a little shuffleboard. My dad ordered a BLT club sandwich for me, but didn't have
much of an appetite til later on that night when we got home. Me and Eric played Star 
Wars video game where we shot Stormtroopers, pretending to be those obnoxious Yankee
fans at the game. 

Star Wars : The Force Awakens

     

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Director: J.J. Abrams

     Cast: Daisy Ridley, Oscar Issac, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Harrison Ford,

     Domnhall Gleeson, Gwendoline Christie

           Thirty years after the last movie is a long time for a franchise that still keeps 
  making money. In Episode VII: The Force Awakens, we find our hero, Rey (Ridley),
  a plucky young woman who is stranded on a desert like planet called Jakku. She 
  dreams of being somebody. Until one day, she meets a soccer ball sized droid, BB8,
  who carries a secret message. She learns that the Evil Empire is after the droid.
          Along the way, she meets a former Imperial Stormtrooper named Finn (Boyega)
  who defected after refusing to carry out orders to kill innocent civilians. Finn 
  befriends a Rebel pilot Poe (Isaac) and become close friends. Rey, Finn and Poe
  join forces with the legendary bounty hunter Han Solo (Ford) and Wookie pal
  Chewbacca.
          They are pursued by their evil leader Kylo Ren (Driver), a Jedi obsessed 
  with honoring Darth Vader's legacy and wants to follow in his footsteps.
           Director JJ Abrams is good at making scifi films but his overused of lens 
  flares becomes quite distracting. The plot structure is very close to the original
  A New Hope. The acting is good and the characters are fun to watch as well. 
  I couldn't help but feel like this movie has more loose ends than a tailors shop.
  Perhaps, the plots for the next movie will tie those up.

Do I believe in aliens ?

Jabba the Hutt (Star Wars)

Admiral Ackbar (Star Wars)

scary alien

I think that there are aliens in our universe ever since the famed  crash landing

in Roswell New Mexico in 1947. The discovery of hundreds of other galaxies 

outside of our own only makes it more plausible. The fact that SETI has been 

trying to contact them through radio signals we may one day be able to speak

with them. They will visit us one day when we least expect it.

Deadpool

         

Deadpool

Dir: Tim Miller

Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, T.J. Miller, Ed Skrein, Gina

Carano, Leslie Uggams, Breanna Hildebrand

       Taking place in the X-Men universe, Deadpool is based on character of the same

  name. Ryan Reynolds stars as Wade Wilson, a hitman who one day gets diagnosed

  with terminal cancer. Upon learning this, he volunteers himself to be a guinea pig 

  for a shady organization that can cure him but for a price. In doing so, it disfigures

  him and turns him into a wisecracking assassin.

       

       With the help of two X-Men (Colossus & Negasonic Teenage Warhead), Deadpool

  goes on a killing spree looking for the Francis (Skrein), the man who permanently 

  scarred him for life. 

       Despite the graphic nature of the film, some of the 4th wall breaking jokes were

  utterly hilarious. It's a movie that doesn't take itself seriously and had a good message

  about accepting someone for who they are. 

      Deadpool was stuck in developmental hell for a decade and it's a movie 

 worthy of your time. It's easily one of my favorite superhero movies of the year.

Captain America: Civil War

Captain America: Civil War

Dir: The Russo Bros. 

Cast: Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Sebastian Stan, 

Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Chadwick Boseman

   In the new movie, Captain America: Civil War, the government wants to put restrictions
  on the Avengers after causing many innocent lives lost due to defending the Earth from
  sinister forces. 
      Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) supports this cause along with other super powered
individuals.Captain America (Chris Evans) has conflicting ideas about it while trying to
protect his best friend Bucky from having to answer for his crimes while brainwashed by 
the evil organization, Hydra.
     Bucky goes on the run after being framed for the murder of Black Panther's father by
a mysterious man with a hidden agenda. We also get to see what happened to Tony's 
parents long before he became Iron Man.
      While the movie is long, sadly it suffers from the third movie syndrome.The action
scenes are few and far between. The plot felt dragged out almost to the point of boredom.
I felt that there were too many plots going on while trying to set up other films to come.
       The surprise villain of the film was mostly forgettable, looking nothing like his
 comic book counterpart. 
       The good parts of the movie were the funny one liners and the introduction of 
Spider Man. The battle at the airport was pretty fun to watch. This felt more like 
Avengers 2.5 than a Captain America movie. This is my favorite MCU movie 
of the year.
       I had high expectations for this movie but felt it didn't live up to it.All in all it 
was pretty mediocre just not as good as CA: The Winter Soldier.
