Movie Review: Zootopia

    I loved Zootopia (2016). It’s very wholesome. Disney is very good at making animated films that both kids and adults can both thoroughly enjoy. There are jokes in this film that only adult will understand and jokes only kids will understand. However, the majority of the jokes in this film can be understood by both parents and their children.
    I also loved the world the filmmakers built. The city of Zootopia seems like an actual functioning city. Every animal in the city serves a purpose within it.  Certain sections of the city also reflect the species of animal that lives there. In my opinion, Zootopia is worthy of a sequel based on this fact alone. A world this well detailed deserves to be revisited again.
    Zootopia also serves as a good message for young people about prejudice.  In the film, the predators are feared by the prey even though the prey tries to give the impression that they don’t fear them.  On the surface, it seems like Zootopia is a multicultural utopia, but underneath the truth is much more complicated.  The characters in this film don’t believe in stereotypes, but it turns out that the stereotypes the animals in Zootopia are known for tend to be true to a certain degree.  
     At the heat of Zootopia is the chemistry between Judy Hops (Ginnifer Goodwin) the first rabbit member of Zootopia’s police force and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) a fox who is a cynical con-artist.  The two are given forty-eight hours to find a missing otter.  Their partnership is basically a cuter version of 48 Hrs. Judy Hops is optimistic despite her diminutive size and believes that anything can be achieved if you try. Nick Wilde on the other hand has seen the seedier side of Zootopia and knows that’s not entirely true.  There two personalities clash throughout the film, but the two unlikely partners wind up forming a strong bond.
      Zootopia, is a fantastic animated film that I would highly recommend to any parent who wants to find a good movie for their kid to watch or for anybody who is a fan of Disney.
Overall Rating: ****

Movie Review: Chappaquiddick

Chappaquiddick (2017) was released fifty years too late. That was my thought when I first sat down to watch this movie on Netflix and that was my thought when I finished it. I'm a millennial and I bet that the majority of Americans under the age of 40 (and maybe even under the age of fifty) have no idea what the Chappaquiddick Incident even was. If you were to ask someone what Chappaquiddick is they would probably reply with a shrug and say that it's some Native American term (it is, but that's besides the point). It's a shame that this incident isn't taught in history or political science classes. Chappaquiddick is one of the defining moments in American politics in the last fifty years. It laid bare the obvious fact that if one has the right amount of money, one has the right connections, and that one has the right last name  then you are essentially above the law. Chappaquiddick was directed by John Curan with a screenplay by Taylor Allen and Andrew Logan...

It's Time for the National League to Adopt the Designated Hitter Rule

     It is time for the National League to join the modern age and adopt the Designated Hitter (DH) rule. The National League has held onto the archaic tradition of pitchers hitting for far too long. The DH rule has been one of the best changes that has been made to the game of baseball. The game would be much healthier and more exciting to watch if the DH rule was universally adopted.      I understand that this is a divisive issue. Pro-DH rule people and anti-DH rule people are just as divided on this subject as Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are when they argue about whether or not it is rabbit season or duck season. That last part may be an exaggeration, but the Designated Hitter rule debate goes like this every time it is brought up by Major League Baseball:      MLB: Maybe we should look into the National League trying out the DH rule.      American League: Good idea!      National League: Screw that! We ...

Top 5 Thing I Want to See in a Spider-Man PS4 Sequel

      Spider-Man PS4  has been one of the most successful games of 2018 (at least until Red Dead Redemption 2 comes out).   Spider-Man PS4  sold over 3 million copies in its first 3 days and made $198 million during that time, which excelled Spider-Man: Homecoming's initial 3 day haul of $117 million. That kind of success all but guarantees that Spider-Man PS4 will receive a sequel. Insomniac Games, the developer of Spider-Man PS4 has laid an excellent foundation to expand on the gameplay and story elements that they've developed. Here are a few ideas that I think Insomniac Games should incorporate in the sequel. A Bigger Map      Spider-Man PS4 featured the most realistic depiction of New York City in the history of video games. Landmarks like the Empire State Building and Times Square were rendered in photo realistic detail. The Manhattan skyline provided the player the ability to truly take on the role of Spider-Man and web-swi...
