First Listen: SZA - SOS

much like Kendrick Lamar with Mr Morale & The Big Steppers, SOS is several things. underwhelming being one.
the twenty three song album is not what you expect of an artiste that's been away from the solo scene for five years.

note: is it a bad album? no. so does it possess the dawg? sadly, no. SOS is that album with a poorly mixed intro, forgettable songs, i-will-need-more-listens, and (of course) a few songs that are actually GREAT!

we all know the theme of the album but one of the reason it fails might be because too much is happening. one minute it's rnb/soul, next minute it's (t)rap. i mean... F2F is rock ffs. there's also lyricsm that reminds us of kdot. coincidence?
it's definitely not an album i'll be spinning often but hopefully a couple listens changes my opinion. & just so we're clear, CTRL is the better album and Phoebe Bridgers is amazing!

Ōkami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki (Wolf Children)

Written By
Anime is one of the best mediums of story telling in recent years. It's diverse and offers a wide variety of genres, from comedy, action, thriller and romance. Most popular series are usually fast paced, exaggerated and action packed but, pretty much all the amazing anime films are usually grounded, slow and visually phenomenal and these are qualities this film taps into.                        Ōkami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki (Wolf Children) is honestly what great movies are all about. I remember seeing the trailer a few months back and I was so interested in seeing how it would play out, while I knew I was going to be in for an emotional roller coaster, I didn't quite expect it to start within the first thirty minutes of the film's screen time.                    The film's premise from the trailer was pretty simple, a young optimistic female college student called Hana falls for...

Who Would Win? Batman Vs Spiderman

Written By
Okay before I start I'd like you all to know I am not being partial in any way at all. I had this argument with my friend Andrea a couple of days back and now I feel like sharing on who I think would win,but I realised they are two perspective 1-choosing a winner based on accomplishment 2-choosing a winner based on powers or strengths 1- this perspective is basically saying "oh look at this let's check out both characters accomplishments",they both have taken down a large amount of enemies ranging from smart villains to dumb ones,they've both faced foes that are big and strong. So it's only reasonable to think Batman would win here,not by a long shot though because Spiderman is a force to be reckoned with. Batman has basically done more important things,he has defeated Superman severally,dodged darkseid's omega beams,outsmarted braniac,I mean the man is a bit fluent in kryptonian and he knows several martial art skills and he's just a human......

IT(2017):Lazy Review

Written By
  I've been stuck thinking about what to post and I got nothing. But I remembered that I watched "IT" late December and I wasn't scared surprisingly. I mean,they were a couple of jump scares but overall nothing really scared me. It was a fun movie though and I see why it got a sequel announced and universal praise. It's based of the first chapter of the Stephen King novel of the same name and I have read a couple of pages from  the book but I haven't finished it because I'm lazy and I procrastinate a lot(I haven't still finished reading a song of ice and fire).   Set in the '90-somethings(I'm lazy don't eat me) in a town of something,something(I know,you're disappointed) a series of kids get missing and the adults of the town act like nothing's happening. Bill Denbrough(that's right,I remembered his name) looses his brother as well. Billy and other kids in the town(including his friends) start to see th...

INFINITY WAR(2018):REVIEW

Written By
   For ten years we've waited for the ultimate showdown between Thanos and the Avengers and we finally got it and I must say it was quite impressive!. I won't mention flaws or anything like that I just want to talk about the film and how good it was.   Infinity War was made with care and much thought went into it's production and this showed. The film itself takes place only moments from the Ragnarok end credit scene. Just like we were promised,Thanos showed just how strong he was within the first five minutes of the film.   I was very impressed with how it balanced humour and seriousness. Some moments were a bit "too funny" but those moments are from characters who are known to be funny generally. I didn't like Thor Ragnarok because I felt like it changed Thor's character but this film brings him back to his Good Old Awesome self and all the consequences from Ragnarok that weren't mentioned were heavily referenced here which proved that Fei...
