Steven Spielberg Vs. J.J. Abrams

BY: GURU JAY


Steven Spielberg and JJ Abrams are arguably the best directors. But who’s the best? Spielberg seems to be slowing down in the realm of directing but not executive producing. On the other hand, it’s full speed ahead for JJ Abrams.


Who recalls that 2 billion dollar movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens?


Without question these two filmmakers are in A League of Their Own. They produce cream of the crop material consistently.


Imagination is the key to unlocking genius. How do you capture the unimaginable? You must organize chaos.


Steven Spielberg is worth a zillion dollars for a reason. You can count on him to deliver exceptional quality of results. Don’t bet against him because the odds are always in his favor.  


Who hasn’t seen at least one Speilberg movie? Have you seen The BFG yet? I don’t blame you if you don’t go see it because it’s a blatant rip-off of James and the Giant Peach. I’m all in for imagination but re-creation is not the same thing. Now this doesn’t take away from Spielberg’s brilliance.

Furthermore, am I the only one who noticed the Star Trek director also directed Star Wars? On a side note, which movie franchise do you like better? Back to the topic-> How does this happen? J.J. Abrams clearly made history by directing both.


JJ Abrams may in turn direct Avatar at the rate he’s going. All I know is James Cameron has steep competition from the Bad Robot executive producer.


It’s clear Hollywood follows a formula. A script is an arranged statement of instructions. To answer my question, Steven Spielberg is the better instructor. However, J.J. Abrams is the best curriculum designer.

Let me put it this way… Spielberg could never direct Star Wars and Abrams could never direct Jurassic Park. Still, both are at the top of their game.

Beholding Zoe Saldana’s Flexibility

BY: GURU JAY


What is Zoe Saldana’s secret? How does the actress maneuver her way inside Hollywood’s most critically acclaimed blockbusters? Why was she chosen to play important roles in Star Trek, Avatar, and Guardians of the Galaxy?
Do you remember Colombiana? I saw it on demand with my family one Christmas Eve. There’s something special about her presentation.
She is perfect at showing you a character’s flaws. The petite celebrity doesn’t spread herself too thin. I want to see her gain weight for a role like a female Christian Bale and Chris Pratt. The question is will Saldana be able to shed the extra fat.
Throughout Zoe Saldana’s career, the Hollywood star has shined. That’s why her movies receive glowing reviews. Right now, her movie Premiummaintains 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

The dedicated actress aims to please. Producers, directors, actors, and fans expect dutiful performances and excellence from Zoe. How many times does she over deliver results?

She is my favorite science fiction/ fantasy actress. I fully support Saldana replacing Halle Berry as Storm in X-Men. Can you picture Zoe and Jennifer Lawrence sharing a screen?
The photogenic Latina works well with powerful egos and nicely for demanding bosses. She is a popular choice because she’s likable. It seems you can approach the accommodating actress without being body slammed.
However, I discourage stalking celebs even reality TV stars. I don’t care if you’re Paparazzi. Imagine walking in their shoes.
I’m fond of Zoe’s filmography. I’ve seen several of her movies on more than one occasion. Recently, I learned she was a highly trained dancer. In fact, she was a fine ballerina before her acting career.

I have a theory that Zoe Saldana’s ballerina training helps explain her flexibility as a thespian. Undergoing rigorous choreography requires discipline. Saldana’s step sequences literally and figuratively taught her how to be flexible. It is wonderful beholding Zoe Saldana.

Are You a Browncoat? How About That Firefly TV Show

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.

Star Wars Vs. Star Trek

Star Wars Vs. Star Trek
What’s your pick, Star Wars or Star Trek? As a movie critic, I admire both series. I believe they complement each other. What would Stars Wars be without Star Trek, and vice-versa? The answer: a monopoly.
Nobody likes monopolies. People want choices. Picture only drinking Pepsi. There’s been a universal ban of Coca-Cola. We can go to McDonald’s, but Burger King has gone out of business. That would be the day!
You see Star Trek needs Star Wars just as much as summer needs winter? Rather than picking one, let’s appreciate it all.
Star Wars offers something valuable and so does Star Trek. Its characters Darth Vader, Yoda and R2-D2 fascinate me. James Earl Jones’ voice is legendary.

What is Star Trek’s answer: Spock. Oh yeah, William Shatner wasn’t too bad either.
On the flip side, Spock. Spock exemplifies the future of space travel. He’s the leader you want in case of an all out galactic universal war.
Star Trek has the most devoted fans. Star Wars’ fans seem flaky. Numbers matter in the entertainment industry.
In financial terms, Star Wars leaves Star Trek behind in the Star Dust. By the way, who is a fan of Star Dust? Star Wars is worth $30 billion.
From a marketing perspective, Star Wars has a clear advantage. Who remembers taking a Star Wars lunchbox to Kindergarten? Merchandise is a big part of the equation.
As a child, I had Star Wars’ toys. Does Star Trek even make toys? Call me superficial, but I am in awe at the commercial success of Star Wars.

Star Wars captures your imagination. That’s why it’s better. And, It’s bigger too.
