Birds of Prey

Birds of Prey

Dir: Cathy Yan

Cast: Margot Robbie, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ewan McGregor, Jurnee Smollet Bell,

Rosie Perez, Ella Jay Basco

      After being dumped by the Joker, Harley Quinn (Robbie) is out on her own and must 

  fend for herself in the crime ridden slums of Gotham. Narrated by Quinn herself and

  told by in flashbacks, Quinn drowns out her sorrows in a night of drinking and getting

  drunk.
         Harley gets caught up in a frantic search for a lost mob treasure which is being 

   hunted by everyone in the city. Along the way, she makes some friends including

   Dinah Lance (Smollet Bell), a runaway teen (Basco), and a skilled assassin the 

   Huntress (Winstead). They all must work together to stop a mob kingpin Roman

   Sionis (McGregor). 

         This movie leans heavily anti male and quite cringe-worthy in dialogue. There

   are no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The action scenes were directed by John

   Wick's Chad Stahelski and Robbie take on the popular DC character was rather 

   good. This film should've not been made in the first place and hopefully the 

   forthcoming Wonder Woman movie should be better.

        Grade: D

Super Bowl LIV- my take

Super Bowl LIV- my take

     While it was disappointing to see the 49ers lose the Super Bowl for the second time, 

   the team surpassed expectations the previous season. To go from 4-12 record to a 13-3

   record is quite the accomplishment.  

      QB Jimmy Garoppolo played a full season since tearing his ACL last year and the

   drafting of star defensive end Nick Bosa really helped the team become better. While I 

   do congratulate the Chiefs on winning the big game, it will give the Niners motivation

   to do better and return to the big game.

      I do think the refs had it out for them. Case in point, the holding penalty by Eric 

    Fisher so Pat Mahomes could throw it deep was never called and allowed the Chiefs

    to score. The NFL is a star driven league and what better way to prove that by 

    promoting Mahomes as the face of the league and gracing the cover of the last 

    football video game and magazines. 

       While I realize that Chiefs winning coincided with the NFL's 100th anniversary,

    the league is starting to become almost scripted. The more this happens, the more

    fans should tune out or have the league investigated on rigging charges but I quite

    frankly, don't see that happening as the money will keep flowing in.

Bubble Gum Day

    

 Things I know about bubble gum: 

     1). It gets sticky.

     2). Has lots of sugar.

     3). Bad for your teeth.

     4). Many different brands

        (Bubble Yum, Juicy Fruit, Fruit Stripe, Wrigley's, Hubba Bubba, Orbitz) 

     5). Eventually loses its flavor after a few minutes.

     6). Willy Wonka's Violet Beauregard loved to chew it until it turned her into a 

      big purple rolling ball.

     7). If you swallow it, it stays in your intestinal tract for almost 7 years. 

     8). Bubble gum pop was a genre of music that proliferated in the late 90's and 
     featured teeny bop singers and groups such as Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys 
     & N Sync.
