Fire in Fredricton

Fire in Fredricton

Official reports have confirmed that there was a ferocious fire following an explosion in Fredricton area of New Brunswick, Canada last weekend on November 26, 2017. Locals confirmed that first-responders were quick to put out the fire, but it had already claimed a third of the buildings on the block due to its immense intensity. This is one of the largest fires Fredricton has ever faced.

According to police investigation reports, the fire had started at around 2:40 am in the morning after the local rapper by the name of JTK had left his his Mixtape playing overnight in his home studio. The rapper has since been charged for third degree murder, and is currently facing trial in Fredericton's court of Queen's bench.

A few unidentified passerbys had claimed that they had heard a song being played from the building. The song has since been identified by police as "Takeover", which you can listen to here. 

"Such carelessness has resulted in one of the largest fires Fredricton has ever faced, and we cannot allow this repeat itself. We have intel that there are more mixtapes in production by other local rappers and must make sure terminate them all. Projects like this must licensed and done out of town in controlled environments" -- Detective James Doe Anon, New Brunswick Police, Fredericton Division. 

Like many young adults today, JTK is active on social media, and it appears that he had given some hints about his endeavours on November 18, 2017, when he posted a meme about his single "Takeover."

Maybe we should start paying more to what young people post on Social Media today?

Thor Ragnarok Review

Thor Ragnarok

Synopsis:

Imprisoned on the other side of the universe, the mighty Thor finds himself in a deadly gladiatorial contest that pits him against the Hulk, his former ally and fellow Avenger. Thor's quest for survival leads him in a race against time to prevent the all-powerful Hela from destroying his home world and the Asgardian civilization.

Thor finds himself in a bind, now returning to Asgard after the events of Avengers 2: Age of Ultron, he comes home to find Asgard and the other realms in imbalance. He takes it upon himself to solve the issues and is surprised find how many secrets have been buried by the Odinson family.

Another addition to the MCU, blending in to the existing universe seamlessly, this time it took Thor, a not-so-interesting member of the Avengers, Earths mightiest heroes and finally made a movie worthy of him; his name wasn't on the title of the movie, he took centre-stage. Full of laughs and inside jokes (some you'd only understand if you've been along for the ride since the first Iron Man). Then again, Thor and The Hulk finally get to throw down! Let that sink in!

There wasn't a lot of Hela to get on with, the big baddie in the movie seemed to just appear even if her backstory was made known. It never described how Hulk came to Sakaar from Earth, and neither did they show The Enchantress, whom with Skurge have a very strong comic book relationship.

Ant-Man is supposedly the funniest guy in the MCU but Thor does a home run in this movie with quips and puns - 8/10

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets Review

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets

In the 28th century, special operatives Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline work together to maintain order throughout the human territories. Under assignment from the minister of defense, the duo embarks on a mission to Alpha, an ever-expanding metropolis where diverse species gather to share knowledge and culture. When a dark force threatens the peaceful city, Valerian and Laureline must race against time to identify the menace that also jeopardizes the future of the universe. The film is based on the French science fiction series Valérian and Laureline, written by Pierre Christin and illustrated by Jean-Claude Mézières, first published in 1967 in the Pilote magazine.

Valerian and Laureline

Visually captivating with beautifully done CGI, Luc Besson fleshes out the buried story of Valerian in a very unique way, with intricate detail and masterful art directory. Unfortunately, Valerian seems to be lacking something to set it apart from other Sci-Fi franchises despite making way for franchises like Star Trek and Star Wars. It doesn't learn the lesson that John Carter did, which is trying not so much to look or sound like the other franchises. However, the problem stems from the fact that it may look like a copy of already existing franchises, when in fact was one of the pioneers of the as Sci-Fi genre. 

The movie seemed rushed; it didn't give us, the watchers, enough to time to learn more about the main characters and even fall in with them, sometimes it was a bit dry with a lot of forced comedy and a cliché ending.It is a good watch either alone or with friends on a movie night - 6/10
