Straight Outta Compton is directed by F. Gary Grey and stars O'shea Jackson Jr., Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, Neil Brown Jr., and Aldis Hodge as Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Dj Yella, and MC Ren.
And for those who don't know, Straight Outta Compton is about the gangsta rap group N.W.A rise and fall in the late 80's to mid 90's. Now, if anybody knows me, which is a majority of my readers, you will know that I really don't like hip-hop/rap, but this movie kinda changed my mind.
Now, I just got back from my local cinema which the theatre was PACKED with people and when the music started kicking in, people SANG ok rapped, but SANG their hearts out, now usually I hate it when people talk during a movie, but this time, it didn't annoy me, I actually enjoyed it!!
Now the first half of Straight Outta Compton is all about N.W.A and the awesomeness that is N.W.A. The last half of the film is about the separate solo careers of Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and Eazy-E.
The movie shows Ice Cube writing Friday, Dr. Dre developing Death Row Records and Beats, and Eazy-E doing the same thing, except for Beats of course.
Also, Jason Mitchell, this man is an actor. He totally nailed the character of Eazy-E, he seriously deserves and Oscar, for best actor in a leading role.
Ok, so as you can see, I loved this movie and I hope everybody goes to see Straight Outta Compton.
I may actually watch Friday, now.

Daredevil Movie/Netflix Series Review/Rant
Hello everyone, so a couple of weeks ago, I put on the Bloodyawesomemedia Facebook page, that I would be starting a new series on the blog (no duh). The series is going to be called "How It Could Have Been Better" and I will be starting that series with Sam Rami's Spiderman 3 tomorrow.
Anyway, lets talk about the movie that's worth seeing the Director's Cut, but STILL boring, yet one of the best newer shows of 2015.
Borefest 2003 A.K.A Daredevil
Marvel's Awesome Action Netfilx Show A.K.A Daredevil
Right, so I was thinking 'How can I deconstruct this attempt of an awesome vigilante movie while comparing it to it's amazing counterpart?' and I decided to go for the character's first.
So, let's get started.
Matt Murdock/Daredevil (2003)- played by Ben Affleck, the character was a douche bag to pretty much everyone, except for Foggy. Affleck's portrayal of Daredevil is terrible, I mean the first mobster boss he fights with, he strait up murder's him, I MEAN WHAT!!
Matt Murdock/Daredevil (2015)- played by Charlie Cox, his version of Matt was done so well. He cares for pretty much everybody, he plays the part of both Matt and Daredevil perfectly.
Franklin "Foggy" Nelson (2003)- played by Jon Favereau, probably the only likable character in the whole movie. Favereau does a good job playing Foggy.
Franklin "Foggy" Nelson (2015)- played by Elden Henson, and he plays the part of Foggy, so well. The chemistry between Foggy and Matt are every bit as good. You, as the viewer believes that these are real people in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so good job Elden Henson.
Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin (2003)- played by the late, great Michael Clarke Duncan. His character is just a big baddie who, within 2 minutes of the audience being introduced to him, he strait up bashes in the head of a henchmen with a glass cane. Kingpin suffers from not having any character development, therefore we don't care about him (more on that later).
Wilson Fisk/The Kingpin (2015)- played by the amazing actor, Vincent D'Onofrio. To be honest, I didn't even know who D'Onofrio was, I'm glad I do now. His performance is AMAZING. Fisk knows what to say and do when he's dealing business, but underneath, he is an damaged dude. There's a whole episode dealing with his childhood, to BUILD HIS CHARACTER SO WE GIVE A CRAP.
Ben Urich (2003)- played by Joe Pantoliano, his take on Ben Urich is really unnecessary. If I could only compare his character to...
Ben Urich (2015)- played by Vondie Curtis-Hall, there's a reason throughout the whole season why he's doing what he's doing. I actually started to cry after what happened to him in one episode. Literally, I'm not joking. Season 1 Episode 11.
So I really can't compare character's that aren't in the show, or will be, but not yet, so I'll do that when season 2 of Daredevil is on Netflix.
ok so now character's are out of the way, let's talk about the action. Before I start ranting, I am going to link below a video called "The Problem with Action Movies Today" by a talented YouTuber, Chris Stuckmann. Long story short, the Netflix Daredevil does everything right, the movie on the other hand...
the first fight scene in NOTHING, but shaky cam. For those who don't know what shaky cam is, that is when the camera is shaking, to the point where the audience can't understand what's happening, or in editing, the director will add vibrations to the camera to shake it.
ALSO the first shot we see of Daredevil. He Batman dives off a skyscraper, senses the window-washer dangling elevator thingy, and LANDS ON THE THINGY PERFECTLY FINE. If you don't know, the DEFIED THE SIMPLEST CONCEPT OF PHYSICS. That is, when an object/person is in free fall, the object/person gains speed, so what I'm saying is that DAREDEVIL SHOULD HAVE BROKEN LEGS DUE TO THAT.
In fact, Daredevil shouldn't be called Daredevil, call him Catman!!!
I'm so calling Stan Lee
Sorry for ranting, I just had to..
ok guys, be prepared for another rant post, because I'm going to watch The Amazing Spiderman 2, witch I've heard good and bad about, so I'm kinda excited

Deadpool Trailer Review
Wow ok, this is awesome.
Ok so, Ryan Reynolds was on Tuesday's episode of Conan to premiere the first teaser trailer for Deadpool.
So, for those who don't know, Deadpool is a crazy, insane mercenary/anti-hero in the Marvel universe. Movie-wise, he is going to be a part of the X-Men universe, as a spin off. Here's a picture of him at one of his finest moments.
So, if you've seen the leaked test footage, or this new trailer, you can see that Reynolds is the perfect fit for the role.
I'll admit it, I don't know a lot about the villains of Deadpool, all I know is his origin story and his badass abilities. Below will be a video by the amazing YouTube channel, Emergency Awesome. Charlie over there does amazing video's ranging from Marvel to DC to Game of Thrones, pretty much anything geeky on the big/silver screen.
The jokes between Wade Wilson (Deadpool) and his friend was pretty hilarious.
"You look like an avocado has sex with older avocado."
"Thank You"
Anyway, I think, based off of the trailer, Deadpool is going to be a bloody good time. I like the way that Ryan Reynolds is portraying the character of Wade Wilson/Deadpool and I can't wait for the movie to come out in February.
