How Star Wars Characters Give Us Life
What do you like most about the Star Wars franchise? Who are your favorite characters? I believe the best part of Star Wars are the characters. The characters give life and meaning to American popular and World culture.
Ever since I can remember, Luke Skywalker has been a hero in the Star Wars universe. Do you remember playing with Yoda and Darth Vader action figures? Remember when every girl wanted to be Princess Leia for Halloween. The characters were so dynamic and they are amazingly evolving to this day.
And so the story goes, George Lucas sold his film rights to Disney and a series of new Star Wars movies emerged. It began with the highly anticipated Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015directed by J.J. Abrams. Do you remember how the Force Awakens broke every box office record in the book.
And the next one, simply marketed as A Star Wars Story, was Rogue One starring Felicity Jones. The film received critical praise and collected over $1 billion from movie goers.
On December 15, Star Wars: the Last Jedi debuts in theaters around the world. Fans are excited to see Mark Hamil reprise his role as Luke Skywalker. I’m looking forward to seeing the Last Jedi. It has a great trailer which aired for the first time during the World Series yesterday.
Through the years I’ve come to love science fiction and fantasy movies. I’m drawn by the mystery and suspense. These are my favorite science fiction and fantasy actresses.
Have you ever wanted to compare Star Wars and Star Trek? Check out this cool comparison of Star Wars Vs. Star Trek. I’ll do a Stardust story some time soon if you’re interested.
I say all this to say that the Star Wars series is as American as the World Series (baseball). The Star Wars franchise is here to stay. Plus, it is the characters that give us life.

A Farewell to Orphan Black

BY: GURU JAY

A Farewell to Orphan Black

My British friends and many Americans were fans of Orphan Black. I decided to watch Orphan Black after noticing my Twitter feed full of #OrphanBlack s. I had featured the show in a blog post back in March 2014. My blog has been around for a relatively long time on the Internet.

I’ve been trying to figure out who is Elizabeth Childs? So, I pulled an all nighter Saturday to get to the bottom of it. I still haven’t been to sleep. But I’m having fun blogging. Time flies when you’re doing something you love to do.

I checked it out to see if it was any good. Overall, I was impressed. The concept was intriguing.

Orphan Black explored urgent issues in today’s society. It also showed a refreshing perspective on life in general. Now that it is completed, I plan on watching every single episode. I wasn’t late to the bandwagon because I’m not a bandwagon jumper. I was always aware of the show’s greatness. That’s why they call me the Entertainment Guru.

There’s just so much TV you can consume in your personal life. You got to make time for books, music, comedy, and movies too.

For the record, I didn’t binge watch Orphan Black. I watched 2 episodes through and through. We do ourselves a disservice when we binge watch, sometimes.

The genius of Orphan Black is that it was an imported TV show. Originality is rare in the film business. Hollywood remakes Remakes. You read that right. Orphan Black was as original as they came in entertainment and showbiz.

I wonder what’s next for Tatiana Maslany and the amazing cast. It appears Orphan Black is officially ending after 5 seasons. The show is over. They say it’s a wrap. 5 seasons is a long enough time. Plus, I believe the whole story was told and that’s what is important. This is a farewell to Orphan Black.

Who’s the Best Bella? Bella Thorne Vs. Bella Hadid

BY: GURU JAY



Back Story

Many Hollywood stars share the same name. And sharing is caring. You’re reading this now because you care about celebrities to some degree.

Doesn’t everybody have a favorite celebrity? What famous people would you like most to meet? Imagine meeting two celebrities at one time.

Meet Bella Thorne and Bella Hadid.

I’ve already asked who’s the best Emma. Now the question is who’s the best Bella. Who do you choose between Bella Thorne and Bella Hadid? Maybe, you want the best of both worlds. Well, this is your stop.

Bella Thorne has shown she’s a highly qualified actress. Her filmography is growing by the minute as her IMDB profile updates everyday. The star of umpteen Disney movies has a bright future. What is more, Thorne is fresh. Just ask Rotten Tomatoes.

Currently, she’s making headlines for apparently dating Kourtney Kardashian’s ex boyfriend Scott Disick. Bella Thorne shouldn’t have a problem in the dating department. Anyone she chooses is lucky to have her.

Moreover, Bella Hadid has proven she’s one of America’s top models. The supermodel is following the footsteps on the runway strutted by Tyra Banks. Bella Hadid aka Gigi Hadid’s sister is shining in many ways inside Hollywood.

The star is demonstrating her natural worth in the entertainment industry. What more can she do to show she’s second to none? The Weeknd music videos are only the tip of the iceberg. Hadid is just getting started. Give her 3 years and she’ll surprise you. Vogue is attached to Bella like Velcro.

In comparison, Bella Hadid is the bigger name at this moment in time. However, pretty soon Bella Thorne’s name will become bigger than Hadid because of Disney’s history and track record. Like Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus, I see Bella Thorne going places. It’s only a matter of time before I’m proven right.

Last night Oscars had an amazing feel to it. This might have been the most memorable Oscars of all time. Without question, it certainly had the most controversial ending. Here’s a recap for you to enjoy.
The TV audience was treated to delightful arrivals on the Oscars Red Carpet. If you’re into style and fashion, then this was a special part of the show for you. Everybody was dressed in their absolute best dresses and tuxedos for this incredible celebration.
First, Justin Timberlake got the party started by singing Can’t Stop The Feeling to start the show. He and his wife Jessica Biel shared a magical moment on the dance floor. In fact, the whole crowd couldn’t stop the feeling. Next, host Jimmy Kimmel kept the jokes flowing throughout the evening. Of course he addressed his Matt Damon beef multiple times.
Later on, Mahershala Ali was awarded Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Moonlight. And Viola Davis won Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her performance in Fences. Jimmy Kimmel interrupted the award show by acting as a tour guide. He hilariously served as an intermediary between fans and celebrities.
In addition, Jimmy Kimmel kept everyone nourished by releasing candy, cookies, and donuts from the rafters. Nevertheless, it was a fun filled night. The stars shined and glowed.
Hacksaw Ridge took home the Academy Award for Sound Mixing. Meanwhile, the Oscar for Sound Editing was given to Arrival.Manchester By the Sea won the prestigious Best Original Screenplay, while Moonlight received the coveted Best Adapted Screenplay award.

Plus, Best Actor in a Leading Role was awarded to Casey Affleck for Manchester By The Sea. And Emma Stone received Best Actress in a Leading Role for La La Land. Finally, Moonlight won Best Picture after La La Land was wrongly announced the winner.

Did you watch the Golden Globes? The Golden Globe Awards are a precursor to the Oscars. Tonight’s award show was watched by approximately 20 million people. Maybe, you saw the red carpet as well.

Jimmy Fallon made a grand entrance. But the night began with Aaron Taylor-Johnson winning Best Supporting Actor for Nocturnal Nights. Later, Billy Bob Thornton gave an emotional speech.

Then, Tracee Ellis Ross graced the stage winning for Blackish. Atlanta starring Donald Glover earned the award for Best TV series. And Hacksaw Ridge received top recognition. Additionally, Sarah Paulson earned her award for the People V. O.J. Simpson.

You couldn’t have asked for better presenters than Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon. Gina Rodriguez represented for the Latina women. Do you watch Jane the Virgin? Viola Davis received hard earned credit for her performance in Fences.

How could you miss the amazingly stunning Sofia Vergara on stage in her see through dress? Give credit to Carrie Underwood and Sting too. Moreover, Ryan Gosling’s and Emma Stone’s La la Land was given major accolades. Did Ryan Gosling give a nice acceptance speech or what?

Goldie Hawn and Amy Schumer shared the stage but Hawn hogged the microphone. Tom Hiddleston scored big for the Night Manager. Claire Foy won on a large scale for the Crown. It was great seeing Casey Affleck win Best Actor for Manchester by the Sea.

Finally, Brad Pitt introduced Moonlight, which was nominated for 6 Golden Globes. Moonlight deservingly won for the best drama category. However, the spotlight shined brightest on Meryl Streep. It was definitely Meryl’s moment.

Everybody did a fantastic job. It was a wonderful show. There was a ton of glitz and glamor beginning on the red carpet. They arrived in spectacular fashion inside stretch limousines. The biggest stars showed up, although everybody in showbiz and the entertainment world did not take home an award.

I think Jimmy Fallon was awesome. A lot of excitement filled the air. My main critique is where was the music? They could have used more of the music scores. What do you think? Who had the best smile? Who wore the best dress?

Why Natalie Portman Is Worth $1 Billion

Actors come in many shapes, colors, and sizes. Natalie Portman is an actress of the finest variety. Standing 5’3”, the brunette is entering her prime earning years at age 35.

The Academy Award winning actress has a ton of earning power left still. Portman plays real life First Lady Kennedy in the Jackie movie. Moreover, you can expect a top notch performance from her in the Annihilation movie, which is currently in post-production. As long as the Hollywood star continues to make relevant films, she’ll never be out of work. There’s a reason this celebrity is always on the job.

Without question, screenwriters keep her in mind when developing their characters and plot. You can’t tell me the Black Swan wasn’t made especially for Natalie Portman. Her role in Thor was also noteworthy. The Thor movies have generated north of $1 billion thus far. You’ll find Portman doesn’t disappoint you at the box office or on the red carpet.

The celebrity is making strides toward perfection. Natalie Portman’s career compares favorably to Katherine Hepburn. Natalie’s name rivals Julia Roberts if you ask me. Any producer/director would love working with Portman because she’s extremely talented. They would feel honored as well as lucky to have her.

Natalie Portman doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. No doubt the Other Boleyn Girl taught Scarlett Johansson a few tricks. She’s one of the best actresses because she’s built a voluptuous body of work. Plus, the beautiful actress has been blessed with irresistible genes.

The Harvard educated thespian seized her opportunity to shine among the brightest stars. She’s created a path of greatness. Portman paid the price of admission; and, that’s why actresses such as Kristen Stewartare able to flourish.

Moviegoers expect the best from Natalie Portman movies. The Hollywood star delivers greatness to each scene. It’s easy to see why Natalie Portman is worth $1 billion.
