Why Jason Momoa Is the Right Aquaman

Why Jason Momoa Is the Right Aquaman


Jason Momoa plays Aquaman in the upcoming DC comic book-based movie. Do you plan on going to see it? Undoubtedly, something tells me that Aquaman will please fans. I expect the movie to generate at least $300 million at the box office. Maybe, $500 million is within reach.

I watched a few Aquaman trailers and I’m impressed. Jason Momoa is the right man for the job. Plus, Amber Heard is a fine addition to the cast. Seeing those two on the silver screen together is a treat. Moreover, look for Nicole Kidman to demonstrate why she is at the pinnacle of success in the film.

Aquaman made an appearance in Batman V. Superman. I had a problem with accepting Ben Affleck as Batman, although I believe Henry Cavil is the right Superman. The point is Jason Momoa is the right Aquaman.

Still, don’t limit Jason Momoa to just one movie. I’ve become more familiar with Jason Momoa’s work over the past year. He is an incredible actor with an amazing filmography. Conan the Barbarian with Arnold Schwarzenegger is an all-time favorite. I believe Jason Momoa did the remake justice.

I highly recommend Conan the Barbarian (2011) because it is one of Jason Momoa’s best movies. One man shouldn’t have all those muscles. But he works out hard in the gym. They say hard work pays off and Jason Momoa gets it.

Somehow, he finds a way to star in Hollywood’s biggest productions. Case in point: Game of Thrones. Ever since Game of Thrones, he has made a name for himself.

Did you know Jason Momoa is legally married to Lisa Bonet? That means Zoe Kravitz is his stepdaughter. Talk about a small world.

In closing, I wonder what’s next for Jason Momoa. Will he settle down as a legendary superhero? Or will he star in riskier and more challenging productions? We’ll see…

Why Avengers Is the Ultimate Brand

Why Avengers Is the Ultimate Brand



    Last summer Avengers: Infinity War was released in theaters. I was lucky to watch this blockbuster movie. Avengers: Infinity War was probably the biggest and best movie of Summer 2018.

    It had everything you could want in a film: action, romance, suspense, drama, and a little comedy. I highly recommend seeing any Avengers movie. Marvel does it the best.

    Now, Robert Downey Jr. showed why he is time and time again the number 1 actor in the world. Plus, Scarlett Johansson shined bright like the diamond she is. And Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, and Chris Pratt proved why they have Hollywood’s favorite first name.

    In a sense, Avengers: Infinity War was the ultimate movie. Moreover, Avengers is the ultimate brand because the movie franchise is comparable to Star Wars and Star Trek. In fact, I think it’s better than Star Trek.

    Give the director kudos because managing all those egos must have been extremely challenging if not a nightmare. Also, the cinematography was on point. I loved all the characters. There was lots of color and excitement.

    You see, Avengers goes beyond the movies. Like Star Wars, it is woven in the fabric of pop-culture. It is worldwide appealing too. It is more than just America.

    The genius behind Avengers, itself, is that the franchise is movies within a movie, TV within television, and well-defined characters within themselves. In other words, you can count on your kids wanting to dress up as an Avenger on Halloween. There are so many choices. Doesn’t everybody want to be a superhero?

    In closing, Hollywood is changing. The movies are more daring. It is not enough to merely follow the formula anymore. You’ve got to tweak the script and challenge the status quo.

    Without question, Avengers set the bar high every time. All their movies are top-notch quality. They create superior original entertainment.

    Avengers: Infinity War reminded me of being a blend between X-Men Apocalypse and Days of Future Past. Avengers, as a Marvel brand, takes you on an adventure. What is more, the journey is a dream come true for comic book fans. That’s why Avengers is the ultimate brand.

Why You Should Watch Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

Why You Should Watch Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee



Have you seen Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee? After much deliberation I decided to watch the collection on Netflix.

At first, I was on the fence about watching the show. I didn’t know if it was worth my time. However, something told me to give it a chance.

I love to be entertained. Entertainment is a great influencer on the world. And comedy is the great equalizer.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee appeals to those who like comedy, cars, and coffee.

So, what’s it all about?

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is exactly what the name suggests. Comedians get in a car and get coffee. Moreover, they have fun, light, and laidback conversations on their way to drinking a cup of Joe together.

I’ve seen a ton of episodes and here is my take on the TV series. Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is unique to television because unique comedians drive around in unique cars and have unique experiences.

Right now, I’m watching the last episodes because they are more relevant. Eventually, I will get around to watching the first episodes.

So far I’ve seen Ellen DeGeneres, Tracy Morgan, Dave Chappelle, Zach Galifianakis, Brian Regan, and Dana Carvey. This show is turning me into a believer.

I believe Jerry Seinfeld is a genius. I expect this show to last forever. Much of the show is filmed in Los Angeles.

Jerry Seinfeld does all the driving. Netflix does all the filming. The giant comedian teamed up with the giant Hollywood conglomerate. Who’s next…Starbucks?

Comedians themselves are interesting characters. They have awfully good stories to tell. Their lives are observed under a microscope.

Comedians are creative creatures. These lively entertainers do what doctors can’t do in some cases. In a world of so much uncertainty and heartache, comedy helps sooth the pain and heal the wounds. Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is just what the world needs, and what the doctor ordered.

Apple Music bands Best Blogs Celebrities Drake Entertainment Guru Jay Hip Hop mainstream Migos Music New School Offset Old School Quavo Rap Groups Spotify Takeoff Walk It Talk It Wu Tang Clan

Migos Vs. Wu Tang Clan

Migos Vs. Wu Tang Clan


Let’s discuss new school vs. old school. Migos Vs. Wu Tang Clan is an interesting comparison. The Migos belong to the new edition and the Wu Tang Clan are original gangsters.

Both groups have similarly creative names and make unique music. Migos is short for amigos- the Spanish word for friends. And clan means a group of closely knit and interrelated families.

Who doesn’t like listening to Migos? These Hip-Hop artists have been active since 2008, but not until recently has their music topped the charts. Migos, consisting of Takeoff, Quavo, and Offset, are commercially successful and relevant. Their songs have been showcased by Spotify, Apple Music, and more. 

Who remembers their extremely popular iPhone commercial?
Migos are new school with an old school vibe. The Walk It Talk It music video generates good vibrations. Migos are modern-day Beach Boys if the surfer singers could rap.

Wu Tang Clan’s music was commercially successful and stays relevant. Google made the widely popular Shimmy song commercial a couple years ago. Moreover, C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me) is Wu Tang Clan’s most famous song because money equates to success and relevancy. Still by no stretch of imagination- are they a one hit wonder.

Without question, Wu Tang Clan have made their mark on music history. Complex has complied a list of Wu Tang Clan’s 100 best songs. The rappers maintain a strong influence on a generation of music artists. Also, the band of brothers illustrate the importance of brotherhood.

Could you imagine a Migos and Wu Tang Clan collaboration? I’ve learned to not rule out anything. Plus, music is the common denominator.

Whoever Migos joins forces with, whether it’s Drake or Pusha-T, the group creates transformative music. Perhaps the difference between Migos and Wu Tang Clan are that Migos is mainstream and Wu Tang Clan is niche.

Album Amazon Beyonce and Jay Z Celebrity Drake God's Plan Guru Jay In My Feelings Michael Jackson Music Nice for What Prime Day Pusha T rappers Scorpion Singers The Weeknd Thriller Will Smith

Drake Is the $100 Million Man

Drake Is the $100 Million Man

It’s Prime Day and I’m thinking about buying a few Scorpion albums with my money. The only problem is Amazon’s got a big glitch. I thought I write about Drake until Amazon gets fixed. Right now, I’m listening to his music as I write.

I first listened to Scorpionon Spotify when it was initially released on June 29. If you don’t know what Spotify is, it is the Netflix of music. As I listened to Drake on Spotify, I was impressed from the very beginning.

Since June 29, I’ve played Drake’s music every day. I can recall listening to it on Independence Day. The experience was like watching a Will Smith movie. It was a pleasure to hear his rhymes and beats.

Drake is no stranger to taking over. Do you remember when Hotline Bling was the music video of the year? “And I know when that hotline bling, that can only mean one thing.”

Drake is taking over Summer 2018. We will look back on this moment and recognize the summer as a historic period in music. You watch as people come up with stories in the future.

Drake is the $100 million man for 100 million reasons. His music gets inside of your head. You are bound to memorize his lyrics. It’s only a matter of time before you know In My Feelings by heart.

“Kiki, do you love me?”

I can’t wait for him to collaborate with The Weeknd, who made $92 million last year according to Forbes.

I believe Drake’s Scorpionalbum will eclipse the popularity of Thriller. Everyone acknowledges Thriller as Michael Jackson’s magnus opus. Well, Scorpionis Drake’s magnus opus.

The hit album is a popular culture phenomenon. First, we saw God’s Plan turn into a colossal hit. Then, Nice for What became a theme song for independent women. Let’s not forget his music videos are cream of the crop. I’m talking top notch quality.

Now, In My Feelingsmight turn into the song of the year. People are literally going wild because of In My Feelings. Have you heard of the In My Feelings challenge? It’s amazing how much Drake is impacting the world with his songs.

Scorpion was released 3 weeks ago and has already broken all time streaming records. It is no coincidence Drake features Michael Jackson on his album.

Drake is a modern-day Picasso. His songs are works of arts. Like Beyonce and Jay Z, Drake has made a masterpiece. Unlike Bey and Jay, you could say he did it all by himself because his name alone is on the album cover.

Listening to Drake’s music gives you good vibes. For the most part, his music stays positive. However, he had to address his Pusha T beef. I don’t understand these rap beefs sometimes.

Applaud Drake because he is willing to tell his side of the story. I hope Amazon gets fixed, so I can buy the Drake albums. In the meantime, I’m going to keep listening to his music.

Academy Award Actors Celebrity Entertainment film Good Kill Guru Jay Hollywood Stars Lenny Kravitz Lisa Bonet Movies Pretend We're Kissing Rosario Dawson X-Men: First Class Zoe Kravitz

Why Zoe Kravitz Is One of Hollywood’s Hottest Stars

BY: GURU JAY



    Zoe Kravitz is one of Hollywood’s hottest actresses. She is one of the brightest stars in showbiz. Right now, the 29-year-old is one of the best under 30. The celebrity is making headlines for dating Karl Glusman. She could turn him into the next Leonardo DiCaprio if he’s lucky. Pop Sugar is comparing their romance to Rihanna’s love interests.
    Who wouldn’t like to date Zoe? The entertainer is so beautiful. Look at her, she is stunning. Plus, when she is not making headlines she is making major movies. Her career is in the beginning stages and she’s already done fantastic work. You can watch her Pretend We’re Kissing and Good Kill movies on Netflix. Also, she was wonderful in X-Men: First Class.
    Although she received her start in No Reservations in 2007, I feel the 2011 X-Men movie put her on the map. She shared the X-Men universe with Halle Berry. Like Halle, she is a true artist. She is in route to become the next big thing. Zoe Kravitz does whatever it takes. Moreover, Kravitz is living the Hollywood dream. I think she will win an Academy Award in due time.
    It’s amazing what she gets to do for a living. She gets to star in the biggest blockbusters and critically-acclaimed Indie films. She roleplays to perfection and shines like a diamond on the silver screen. Kravitz doesn’t make bad movies. Every script she touches turns to gold. She is a great supporting actor on par with Rosario Dawson. However, if given the opportunity she won’t disappoint as a lead actress.
    Do you follow her on SnapChat, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter? The daughter of Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz is making her parents proud. She is a Tinseltown favorite, and she’s gaining momentum. The star is steadily building her brand name and reputation.

American Idol Carrie Underwood Celebrities Country music Entertainment Famous People feuds Guru Jay Hollywood Kelly Clarkson Miranda Lambert Music Pop Singers Popular Culture Singers Tinder

Kelly Clarkson Vs. Carrie Underwood

BY: GURU JAY

Kelly Clarkson Vs. Carrie Underwood 

Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood are making a comeback around the same time. Clarkson started a tradition where she sings Tinder profiles on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Carrie Underwood is still a perfect 10 after her infamous face accident. The former American Idols are the TV show’s most famous singers for a major reason.

Without question, the names Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood will go down in music history. Clarkson and Underwood are a part of the fabric of American popular culture. Plus, who can stop listening to their music?

Carrie and Kelly can sing with the best, but who’s better? Is Carrie a better singer because she dominates her Country genre? Or is Kelly Clarkson a better entertainer because she concentrates on Pop, a more competitive field in a crowded arena?

It’s easy to say one is better than the other, but it’s harder to prove. I feel in my gut that Kelly Clarkson is the one I want to sing when it counts. However, Carrie Underwood cuts sharper records in the studio booth.

Kelly Clarkson, 36, was born and raised in Texas. That can only mean one thing. She has one of the biggest hearts. With heart, comes soul.

Carrie Underwood, 35, was born in Oklahoma. She grew up listening to country legends like Dolly Parton. Nowadays, she’s influenced country music artists in her own right. In my eyes, she’s a brighter star than Miranda Lambert, who helps define modern day country music.

Overall, Carrie has had a more financially successful career than Kelly. However, the major difference is the Texas songstress has yet to reach the peak. Kelly Clarkson is one hit shy away from greatness.

Clarkson conquers the microphone, but Underwood’s voice is too great to ignore. Maybe, Carrie Underwood’s vocal chords are superior to Kelly Clarkson’s chops. But deep down where it matters, the diaphragm, Kelly has the voice. That’s why she is a coach on the Voice.

It’s up to the fans to decide. Who is better between Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood? I think I’ve answered the question. Your mind is made up on Carrie, but your gut yelps Kelly.
