Why Gal Gadot Is On Top of the World

Why Gal Gadot Is On Top of the World


    Gal Gadot has made a major name for herself as Wonder Woman. Not only are her parents proud of her, Lynda Carter seems pleased with her too. Right now, the Israeli actress is rising to superstardom. Before you know it, she’ll be on top of the world. She’s already ahead of the game in the DC Comics universe.


    From Batman V. Superman to Justice League, she has exceeded everybody’s expectations. Moreover, fans are very excited to see Gal Gadot perform on the silver screen in any capacity. Her future is undeniably bright. The Hollywood actress should command top paydays for future work in the movie industry. At age 32, she has a long way to go. But looking at the big picture, she is a valuable piece to the puzzle.


    Without question, Hollywood is a complex business with complicated inquiries. In other words, fame and fortune don’t come easy. Gal Gadot only made $300,000 for the first Wonder Woman movie. For the average person that’s a lot of money, but in Hollywood, that’s only limousine fare. Yes, she’s famous but she hasn’t received the fortune she deserves yet. Fortunately, a second Wonder Woman will be produced and distributed. That’s when she’ll get more money I know.
    As a side note, what if there was a third installment of the franchise? I feel it is possible with Gal Gadot’s talent and beauty to go back-to-back-to-back. When it’s all said and done, I predict she’ll make more money outside of Wonder Woman because she’s now a true A-lister. In due time, she may become a Favorite Top 10 Fantasy and Science Fiction Actress. She may endorse beauty products, superstores, and startups. Plus, Gal may even win an Oscar. She has so much potential that there’s no stopping her when she’s on the move.

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.

What Is Game of Thrones Without Emilia Clarke?

What Is Game of Thrones Without Emilia Clarke?

Photo By: Wikimedia Commons

I blogged about Emilia Clarke’s portrayal of Daenerys Targaryen as a major reason people watch Game of Thrones in a recent blogpost entitled Why Game of Thrones Is the Number 1 TV Show. I still stand by that assertion. Without Emilia Clarke, Game of Thrones would not be the same though. What Chris Martin is to Coldplay and what Kaley Cuoco is to the Big Bang Theory, Emilia Clarke is to Game of Thrones.

Her character and the actress herself has evolved through the years. This blogpost hopes to highlight or at least shine a light on some of her excellence. In my eyes, Emilia Clarke is the English version of Scarlett Johansson. You can’t deny that her beauty is a factor for fans tuning in every Sunday on HBO. Moreover, you can’t deny that her talent is another factor fans are glueing their eyeballs to their 4K Ultra and HD screens. The equation is simple. Beauty + Talent = Movie Star.

The Hollywood actress turned 30 years old on October 23rd. She started filming Game of Thrones in her mid-twenties. I believe she has became more beautiful and more talented within that time frame. Moreover, she has a good sense of humor and is a pleasant personality, which is rare. I recommend watching a few interviews and getting to know her when you get the chance. I’m providing a brief clip at the end of this post for your enjoyment.

What is Game of Thrones without Emilia Clarke? Her character’s long golden flowing locks are signature to the series. Plus, I can see the show staying in production for another 5 years. You see Game of Thrones is based on a book by George R.R. Martin. Emilia Clarke is appealing to book lovers, especially fantasy genre aficionados in the realm of television. Fans on both sides are pleased with her characterization. Chime in your comments. You’re welcome at GuruJay.com.

Why Game of Thrones Is the Number 1 TV Show

Have you ever wondered what is the number 1 TV show? Game of Thrones is the best thing on television since the Big Bang in the beginning. As far as popularity and ratings are concerned, Game of Thrones has easily became the number 1 TV show no matter how you slice it. Here’s why.
You see, people subscribe to HBO solely to watch the fantasy TV show. Moreover, the show is sensational. It’s so sensational that it has become a part of popular culture. Whether we are talking American vernacular or British jargon, everyone is familiar with dragon eggs by now.
Game of Thrones means the world to HBO. George R.R. Martin has built an ironclad brand. Plus, the producers are cash-cows to the cable TV network. We haven’t seen anything quite like Game of Thrones in the history of TV. What other show is setting records in the seventh season? That’s unheard of. I believe the show’s secret is the introduction of new characters and the elimination of old characters.
HBO recently stated the channel’s intellectual property had been compromised in a cyberattack and hacking. Material from Game of Thrones was released on the world wide web ahead of schedule. It seems scenarios such as these are becoming commonplace. Before HBO, Netflix was hacked. Before Netflix, Disney was hacked.
It is interesting that Game of Thrones is becoming more and more popular. I believe Emilia Clarke’s portrayal of Daenerys Targaryen is a major reason people watch. Emilia Clarke is a fine Hollywood actress, who fascinates the audience.
I love Game of Thrones because fantasy has always intrigued me. I grew up loving J.K. Rowling and the Lord of the Rings. Game of Thrones is a current inspiration to me and millions of others. Along with watching the TV show, I encourage you to read the books. See firsthand why Game of Thrones is the number 1 TV show.

How Mariah Carey and Beyoncé Changed the Music Business

BY: GURU JAY
Music fans love listening to Mariah Carey and Beyoncé Knowles. The sparkling songstress Mariah has dominated for decades. And Queen Bee doesn’t appear to be abdicating her throne right now.
Hero was the first Carey song I remember hearing. Her elegant voice connected with my soul. Moreover, I can listen to Mariah forever.
Survivor was the first Destiny’s Child music video I recall watching. Ever since, I’ve always known Knowles was bound for greatness. She’s developed into an irreplaceable juggernaut.


Because the delightful diva left the group on good terms, a Destiny’s Child reunion tour is very possible. I suggest sister Solange Knowles come on board. They just need to do the damn thing.
I can’t downplay Mariah Carey’s importance to music. Not many come close to what she has accomplished in show business. What is more, the superstar is still capable of recording Platinum singles.
Mariah pushes her pitch to the extreme. That’s why her throat needs tender love and care. She is Minnie Riperton 2.0. In addition, Carey is in the upper echelon of entertainers.
Dream girl Beyoncé reminds me of Madonna and Diana Ross put together. Can you picture a Carey collaboration? There’s a reason the Academy continually nominates the Queen.
Even though Mariah Carey had a short stint on American Idol, the show significantly raised her profile, especially among the youth. It was the clash of the titans between Mariah and Nicki Minaj.
Every chance Beyoncé gets she sends a shout out to her hometown Houston. Tourists are exchanging their I heart New York t-shirts for I heart Texas tank tops. Meanwhile music lovers are listening to their favorite singers on I Heart Radio.
How can the Academy justify not giving Beyoncé album of the year? I watched the Grammys and was very disappointed Beck walked away with the top prize. But the diva handled the disgraceful display like a champ. She doesn’t need validation from an awards ceremony because the fans have spoken.
Imagine if Knowles focused solely on acting. She would win an Oscar. What if Carey and Knowles played in the same film? If you like music in movies, watch Dreamgirls, Cadillac Records, and Glitter.

What are your favorite Mariah Carey songs? I like My All, We Belong Together and the E=MC2 album.
Both artists respect each other’s craft. It’s clear Beyoncé benefits from Carey’s brilliant career. That’s why the celebs are good friends. Also, Carey acknowledges Queen Bee’s reign because superstars embrace the best.
Knowles has proven her talents with songs Crazy in Love, Halo, and Partition. What else can she prove? Beyoncé is the ‘baddest,’ hottest, and most electric entertainer in action.
In the words of Mariah Carey “Don’t forget about us.” Remember all she wants for Christmas is you. In my mind, Mariah Carey is the all time number 1 female vocalist.

Without question the multitalented Beyoncé is the complete package. How does she move like that on the dance floor? Didn’t Jennifer Lopez say, “You’re mesmerized by the size of it?”

Mariah Carey and Beyoncé changed the music business by dominating the market. Both musicians firmly established their imprints on the industry. Plus, they’re every man’s fantasy.

Jupiter Ascending Movie Review

BY: GURU JAY

Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis light up the screen in Jupiter Ascending. If fantasy and science fiction are your cups of teas, you may find the film somewhat interesting. But first let me warn you! This movie is not for everyone.
Tatum plays Caine Wise, a universal hunter and soldier. Kunis stars as Earth’s queen Jupiter Jones. Neither Caine nor Jupiter feel entitled because of their stations in life. In fact, Jupiter doesn’t even discover she’s royalty until halfway through the movie.
Jupiter Ascending has horrible plot development. The directors skip scenes like rocks in the pond. However, in spite of poor direction, the computer graphics are superb.
In Jupiter Ascending’s case, the plot thins rather than thickens. The dialogue needs a facelift. I’m sorry I tried to give this movie a C.
After a little contemplation, I decided to issue an incomplete grade. Giving Jupiter Ascending a D would be too harsh. It’s an ambitious project deserving constructive criticism and debate, not a Razzie award. Contrary to popular opinion, the movie isn’t a flop.
On the positive side, I really liked the concept and theme. The film crew show a method to their madness. Furthermore, the film has an important message.
The Wachowskis send a memo that in the scheme of things, time is more precious than money. “Your job is what you do, not who you are.” Don’t relegate yourself to daily duties.

In the end, Jupiter Jones could deal with cleaning toilets. A lot of times, you’re guilty of sizing someone up based upon limited information. Classism pervades throughout our society. Also, entitlement poses real problems. Once Caine gets his wings and Kunis secures her title, they’re still the same individuals.
In a nutshell, the film earns high marks for its creativity and imagination. However, it isn’t very logical and quite confusing. Though the film is hard to explain, I won’t knock it because it feels good.

Are You a Browncoat? How About That Firefly TV Show

BY: GURU JAY

Do you like Firefly? Are you a Browncoat? If you enjoy science fiction you’ll like this TV show. Although it survived only 1 season, there are a number of great episodes.
Firefly gives you value. It’s a low budget Star Dust with high aspirations. In other words, it’s a wannabe Star Trek/ Star Wars.
The TV show allows the audience to escape. For an hour, you forget about your bills due next week. For an hour, your worries go away.
In itself Firefly is unrealistic. But, if you have a vivid imagination, then this is your show! Firefly uniquely blends space and time travel.
If you can’t sleep, watch Firefly on demand.
It’s fun. Gina Torres reminds me a lot of Rudolph the red nose reindeer because she’s a brownnoser. And she makes the season bright.
The Serenity movie falls short of writing, direction, and production. There are YouTube videos better than this film. I’m a Firefly fan who dislikes Serenity. Am I the only 1?
When it’s late at night, I sometimes watch the Tonight Show. I used to stay up longer in watch Conan O’Brien when he was on NBC. Then, after that I watch Science Fiction and Fantasy.
TV always gets better with time because you can go back into the archive. Let’s dig up a little dirt. Stephenie Meyer needs to give credit to the Twilight Zone and True Blood.
Firefly has a highly engaged fan base. Check out the community. You’ll learn facts about characters, storylines, and more.
