Is Your Entertainment Better Off Now Than It Was Four Years Ago?

BY: GURU JAY

Are the music and movies of the 1960s and 1970s better than today’s music and movies? In other words, is your entertainment better off now than it was four years ago? I agree with Bob Seger, today’s music ain’t got the same soul (and I like that old school rock and roll, too.) But if I’m being honest, today’s sound doesn’t compare with yesterday’s sound. It’s simple as that. However, I can’t say the same about movies, because movies go beyond sounds and into visuals.

It is undeniable that visual effects play a large role in making a movie superior. Music is limited to only one sense and that’s hearing. Movies appeal to your sight and sound.

Autotune and audio engineering can’t make up for inferior vocals. To me, music is about the quality and the voice of Michael Jackson can’t be duplicated. You can try to clone him all you want, but there will never be another Michael Jackson.

While the music has digressed, movies have undoubtedly progressed; and that’s for several reasons. Today’s music videos are like mini-movies. Music draws on the ideas of the movie business. Hollywood is a place where dreams come true.

Who would have thought all these remakes were possible? TV shows that once existed, are here again. They’re repackaged and Netflix plays  a large role in making these products superior.
Sometimes, I can’t stand these Netflix Originals because there are so many of them. But I most admit most of them are damn good.

It is no fault of the artists, but the music can’t get any better. They don’t make stars like they used to. But, you’ll find the movies will keep getting better until there’s a technological explosion. What’s new in the entertainment industry? Do you believe there’s nothing new under the sun?

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

BY: GURU JAY

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.

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.

Why You Should Binge-Watch Goliath Season 1

Why You Should Binge-Watch Goliath Season 1

Goliath Season 2 is coming to your home tomorrow through Amazon Prime video. If you haven’t heard about it already, Amazon Studios has produced 8 fresh episodes. And if they’re anything like Season 1, you are in for a special treat.

You should binge-watch Goliath season 1 so that you have a recap. Plus, binge-watching the first season will make binge-watching the second season a lot more better. You see, every show has a twist and a cliff hanger. There’s no other way to put it, but to say that the writing on Goliath is brilliant. Moreover, the scenes keep the fans on the edge of their seats.

Do you want to have a fun weekend? If you’re a fan of suspense, drama, and a little comedy, then this is your show to binge-watch. I will tell you more about the show in this blog.

Believe it or not, everyone doesn’t have Amazon Prime and everyone doesn’t know about this great TV show. You’ll be surprised. The legal thriller is really about life in two different worlds.

Goliath is an unprecedented tale of one man taking on a greedy corporation. Attorney Billy McBride doesn’t take crap from anybody, including his ex-wife who works for the law firm representing this greediness. He is not afraid of their thugs. Moreover, he has his resources and his own way to get information.

Billy used to belong to the “superior” world until he lost his path. Donald Cooperman a former buddy and now is a formidable foe. Right now Billy is in an “inferior” world and is in a fragile state of mind.

Still, he fights back not in a physical sense but with his brains. I don’t want to give too much away. But there are some sexy characters and ugly ones too, depending how you look at it.

To conclude, Billy McBride pounces on the opportunity to make something of himself and the world he lives in, all the while being addicted to alcohol. The Amazon Prime series is highly entertaining and addictive. I suggest you binge-watch season 1 when you have the chance.

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.

Amazon Original Anna Paquin Best Blogs Binge Watching Electric Dreams Entertainment film Flying Cars Future Guru Jay Holograms Movies Technology Terrence Howard Virtual Reality

Why Electric Dreams Is Worth Binge-Watching

Why Electric Dreams Is Worth Binge-Watching
 Photo By: Wikimedia Commons

I highly recommend binge-watching Electric Dreams. You will thoroughly enjoy the Amazon Original by Phillip K. Dick. It is a very entertaining series from the start. The anthology is a collection of intriguing episodes sparking your imagination. This blog post will review the first episode called ‘Real Life.’

In episode 1, Anna Paquin’s character and Terrence Howard’s character share a virtual fantasy world together where they live out each other’s lives in ‘Electric Dreams.’ Anna Paquin is a lesbian policewoman and Terrance Howard is a Tech billionaire. They visual another world- one futuristic and the other modern day. Anna Paquin lives in the future, and Terrence Howard lives in 2012.

Through these virtual headsets and microchips they’re able to connect with each other. In other words, there are two worlds on a collision course. Unfortunately, in both worlds they suffer tragedies. Howard’s character loses his wife and Paquin’s character ultimately enters a coma.

It is not a coincidence that the two main characters share the same lover. The episode reveals many connections such as the same scenery. As the story unfolds, you’ll find familiar places and similar scenarios.

The setting takes place in futuristic and present day Chicago. It revolves around ‘real life’ and science. Technology is a major theme. Moreover, how technology connects us and divides us is explored.

The actors did an amazing job. Every detail was well thought out and the cinematography was incredible. Give credit to the director and producers.

Finally, the episode warns people about the pitfalls of virtual reality. On the one hand, virtual reality is good because it’s an escape mechanism. They call it a vacation. On the other hand, virtual reality is bad because it ultimately leads to disconnection.

Electric Dreams explores the dynamics of society in multiple ways. In the future, we have flying cars and holograms but less compassion. Still, in both worlds, we need more compassion.
