Bradley Cooper Celebrities Chris Pratt comics Entertainment films Guardians of the Galaxy Hollywood Marvel movie review Movies rare soundtrack Vin Diesel Zoe Saldana

Why Guardians of the Galaxy was #1

BY: GURU JAY


2014 belonged to Guardians of the Galaxy. The Marvel movie, which made nearly $775 million, was the highest grossing movie of the year. Chris Pratt demonstrated his on screen prowess. And Zoe Saldana showed why she is on top of the fantasy world.
It was an absolute must-see movie. The prison break scene was epic. Rocket Raccoon played by Bradley Cooper stole the show. Although Vin Diesel was unrecognizable as Groot, he was good nonetheless.


Why Guardians of the Galaxy was #1
Music + movies= success. I haven’t heard a better soundtrack than Guardians of the Galaxy in a long time. I give the music an A+.
B-School students should take note of Guardians of the Galaxy’s marketing campaign. Producers didn’t waste a single dollar. This movie could have easily cost Marvel $300 million. Instead, the film was made with a conservative budget of $150 million.
Thanks to casting there was a nice mixture of talent. But, the screenplay missed the mark. Why am I so hard on screenwriters?


With that said, I give the movie a solid B+. I enjoyed the scenes. It was a wonderful experience with amazing computer graphics.
If you want a fun family and action-packed film go with Guardians. It is a highly creative motion picture. This is Hollywood’s finest.
Guardians of the Galaxy was number 1 because everyone could enjoy it. It was a rare film that appeals to grandma and grandson. I highly recommend this highest grossing movie.
Have you seen Guardians? Will you buy it on blue-ray? What was the best part?

albums Alicia Keys Celebs Hip Hop lip-synching Mariah Carey Music Musicians My All No One pop records Singer studio vocalist voice

Mariah Carey Vs. Alicia Keys

BY: GURU JAY


Alicia Keys has the voice of an angel. Mariah Carey has the voice of a goddess. With that said, I still would rather see Keys in concert.

Carey is notorious for lip-synching. Alicia plays the piano in addition to hitting high notes for a hobby. But, in the studio it is a different story.
Mariah has made many great albums. Now, Alicia Keys can do wonders in the studio as well. I just appreciate Mariah Carey’s career.  
The My All songstress blazed the trail for Alicia and Beyoncé. She worked harder to get to the top. So, let’s recognize Carey’s contributions.
Carey is the greatest female vocalist. This doesn’t mean she can sing better than Keys. It just means that Mariah’s voice is more flexible. She can stretch her vocal chords farther.
The Girl on Fire songstress owns her songs. She’s more in control of her pitch, tone and mechanics than Mariah. However, Carey is scary when she’s at her best.
Have you ever seen a bad Alicia Key’s performance? I’ve never seen her bomb. The poetic singer is persistent and consistent. I enjoy listening to Alicia’s songs because of their brilliant lyrics. She is a superb songwriter.
That’s why there’ s no comparison. Alicia Keys usurped Mariah Carey after the ‘No One’ hit. Since then, Alicia’s been headed one direction.   
So, for the record I listen to both singers. They are tremendously talented. I choose Alicia over Mariah, because I like her body of work better.

Why Carrie Underwood Is a 10

BY: GURU JAY

Carrie Underwood won American Idol in 2005. Now, the Country music singer is arguably the best female vocalist in the world. She excels as songwriter and occasional actress as well.

Over the years, Carrie has created a sweet girl image. You never see her flaunting or engaging in debauchery. Can you remember the last time you heard a peep out of her? Carrie’s the girl I’d take home to meet mom.


The former American Idol is an American sweetheart. She’s also an All-American. If you need cheering up, listen to Carrie. She is like a Cowboys’ cheerleader. 

Let’s do some math. Carrie collects fans like bottle caps. She has over 4 million Twitter followers. What is more, Underwood has more than 11 million Facebook likes. Finally, The Jesus Take the Wheelsuperstar has over 310 million YouTube views.
Carrie deserves more credit for her acting. She reminds me of a younger Reese Witherspoon. You should watch Sound of Music Live. It is a wonderful story. And, she dazzles in it.
Truth be told, Carrie is one of my top 10 favorite Country music stars. Her performances cannot be duplicated. She’s an original.
Also, she does great duets. Carrie brings listeners to ecstasy. When she sings, it’s like reading the Great Gatsby for the first time.
Carrie Underwood put Country music on the map! Today, the genre is more popular because of musicians such as Carrie. Will Dolly Parton pass the torch to Underwood?

Why Jimi Hendrix Was the Greatest

Do you like rock and roll? I like it when the band jumps into the crowd.Then, at the very end they smash the guitar to pieces and the stage catches on fire.
It’s well known that every rock star destroys property. Go inside a rock band’s hotel room. You’ll find that everything is broken because that’s how real rock stars roll.
Groupies are probably the best part of the tour. The majority of us live in a conformist society. So, alternative lifestyles are appealing to music fans.
Jimi Hendrix
Although Jimi Hendrix died in 1970, most of his groupies were born in the ‘80s and 90’s. Why is this the case? Jimi Hendrix was young at heart.
It’s unfortunate that his life was cut short. While Jimi’s body left the world when he was only 27, his spirit is still with us. His music lives forever. 
Hendrix was the greatest guitar soloist of all time. Contrary to popular belief, he didn’t play the electric guitar. No, the man played with electricity. 
He was more than a musician. Did you know he was a soldier? After getting arrested for theft, the judge said he could go to prison or enlist in the army.
What’s your favorite Jimi Hendrix song? Do you like Purple Haze? If you love music, listen to The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
Can you imagine Woodstock without the electric guitarist? Without question, Jimi Hendrix still has a strong impact on music. If I could time travel, I’d go back to 1970 and save Jimi Hendrix.

American Gangster Celebrity Denzel Washington Equalizer Flight Great Debaters Guru Jay Inside Man John Q Malcolm X Man on Fire Movies Remember the Titans Taking of Pelham 123 Training Day Two Guns

Best Denzel Washington Movies

Denzel Washington was born to act. Did you know his mother named him after the doctor who delivered him? Denzel deserves every ounce of respect.

He started his career humbly. Washington came to fame after countless years of hard work. The actor displays brilliance in films such as John Q.

Denzel doesn’t mind playing the villain. In fact, he loves to play the antagonist. That’s why he thrived in American Gangster and Training Day. He turned down a chance to play Dr. Martin Luther King. Denzel decided to portray Malcolm X in a Spike Lee joint. 

He gave a noteworthy performance in Flight. His characters are believable and relatable. Washington has no problem taking on difficult assignments.

If you twist my arm and I had to choose his best movies, I’d go with John Q, then Inside Man. Book of Eli, Taking of Pelham 123, and Remember the Titans round out my top five. All his movies are great.

Let’s discuss the Great Debaters. Denzel Washington presents his gifts in this dramatic film. Washington goes back and forth with Forrest Whitaker. Also, Oprah Winfrey helped finance the movie.

Washington won Academy Awards for Glory and Training Day. My other favorites are Man on Fire and Deja Vu. Have you seen 2 Guns or Equalizer? 

Denzel Washington doesn’t star in bad films. He is a bankable movie star. The critics love him. Actors enjoy working with him. He brings the X factor to every movie. How does he do it?
