Out now, the most recent installment in the movie franchise, “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” is a great addition to the action film genre.

Justin Frattura, April 18, 2019 – A new cinematic standard has been set with, “Mission: Impossible – Fallout.” The action sequences are more ambitious and grittier than ever, and are truly a joy to watch.

Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames return in this movie along with Henry Cavill, Alec Baldwin and Michelle Monaghan.

“Mission: Impossible – Fallout” Begins after a failed attempt to get plutonium out of the hands of terrorists, Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and CIA agent August Walker (Cavill) find themselves chasing the trail of these terrorists. Their leads steer them towards France, where they plan to ambush a convoy carrying the plutonium.

The story isn’t the most in-depth piece ever, but the fights, the stunts and the choreography are all amazing to watch. If you are a fan of John Wick or The Raid this is definitely the movie for you.

The special effects are beautiful and almost seem real. It’s really hard to tell what is a stunt and what is computerized.

If there is one criticism to have with this film it is that the story isn’t great. It’s paced a little too fast and some of the plot points are very weak. Some of the character arcs in the film don’t make any sense at all.

The positives of this movie out weigh the negatives. It’s not a life changing story, but the performances are unforgettable. If you are looking for some gritty, well-choreographed action look no further than, “Mission: Impossible – Fallout.” This film is perfect for anybody who is a fan of the action genre.

And of course, they brought that classic, “Mission: Impossible,” theme again.

It is that time of the year again for the annual Billboard Music Awards, which is going to be hosted by Kelly Clarkson. Justin Bieber, Drake, Cardi B. and many more have been nominated to claim awards this year.

This year, Mariah Carey has been set to win an Icon award during the ceremony. She is one of the only artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart every year for a whole decade. She is going to perform some of her biggest hits alongside other Icon award winners such as Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Cher and many more.

Oddly enough Cardi B. is actually going to be competing against herself in three different categories due to the many collaborations she did on songs this year. The categories are top hot 100 song, top selling song and top collaboration. It would be a stroke of bad luck if she walked away empty handed this year.

Also many artist are winning awards for genres they aren’t known for. Drake is being nominated for Latin Trap with his feature on MIA. Justin Bieber is being nominated for top R&B song for his feature on No Brainer.

It is certainly a year of first for the Billboard Music Awards which will be live Wednesday, May 1, at 8 p.m. EST/PST.

“The ever-evolving Los Angeles County Museum of Art has cleared its biggest hurdle to erecting a radical new building by the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor that represents one of the country’s most ambitious museum transformations.

The county board of supervisors voted Tuesday to approve the current plan and release $118 million in taxpayer funding for it, despite last-minute entreaties from some art and architecture critics who urged the board to vote against the project.

Michael Govan, the museum’s director, in turn, took to the Opinion page of The Los Angeles Times to present his case.

“This is the big green light everybody has been waiting for,” Mr. Govan said after the meeting, where leaders of neighboring museums and celebrities like Brad Pitt and Diane Keaton made short public comments of support. “Now we can go ahead with construction drawings and go raise the rest of the funds with the assurance this is going forward.”” Excerpt from New York Times

This 12 minute track is by far one of Kendrick’s most beloved. Each stanza tells its own story about the effects of fame. The first tells the story of Kendrick’s friend who was gunned down in Compton and how his story helps him be remembered. The second is about another one of Kendrick’s late friends, and the family this time around would rather not have their daughters death publicized. The last stanza is Kendrick’s take on the whole thing and how he believes he should be able to tell these stories for others to understand. It is a very long song, but definitely worth listening to.

The whole album To Pimp a Butterfly is in Lamar’s words, “This album is more about deciding what you’re gonna do with your fame and your fortune.” For Sale? is a song about the temptations of being famous. He constantly mentions, “Lucy,” or in other words the devil, Lucifer.

Check out what Kendrick said here.

Swimming pools is a brilliant song that has two messages. The first is the horrors of alcoholism he experienced growing up. The second is the fact that he is also insulting the peer pressure of drinking with the hook where he constantly saying, “drank.” He also does this through mentioning, “swimming pools,” full of liquor, which is him making fun of people that believe this type of behavior is cool.

Untitled Unmastered is an album of unfinished songs released in 2016. Although they are unfinished they are still very great songs. Untitled 05 is no exception, by far the most mysterious song on the album. If you know anything about Kendrick’ back story you will know that he deals with a lot of demons. This song is simply about one of those demons, he sings about loneliness.
