Haunted Mansion Review

 

My Haunted Mansion Review.


So I saw Haunted Mansion on Saturday, and here is my review of it...I had fun with this movie. Like this movie is way better than Eddie Murphy's Haunted Mansion. This film had good scary moments and some moments that made me laugh. I love this film's cast like Lakeith Stanfield, Rosario Dawson, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jared Leto, and I have to say you can't go wrong with Danny Devito. 

The film is about a tour guide named Ben, played by LaKeith. Who helps a single mom and her son who are trapped in this haunted mansion, and if you leave the mansion, the ghosts will follow you and tell you to go back to the mansion. It's an exciting take on the Haunted Mansion. I like what this film was doing.
Also, the characters in the film are all likeable, and some of them you feel for because they have lost people close to them. The film does address grief and mourning those we had lost and wish we could see again.
I mean, the film does have some issues, like too much product placement was annoying, but overall I still enjoy this film. I thought the film's villain was good, and he was scary too. 
This film does have some scary moments that work for a family film, and some scenes made me jump. 
Jared Leto plays the villain in the film, and Jared Leto did a great job playing the Hatbox Ghost.
He's from the ride at the Disney parks. 
Overall I had a fun time with this movie, and this film gets you into the Halloween spirit. So enjoy the summer before we get into the Halloween spirit in two months. 
I give Haunted Mansion a 6 out of 10, and it's just a fun movie, and that's all it needs to be.

How I Would Reboot The MCU

 


So after writing my article about, should the MCU get a reboot. I will write I would reboot the MCU, much like in my How I Would Start the DCU. My idea to reboot is inspired by James Gunn's DCU plan. However, we have yet to see if it will succeed, depending on what Superman Legacy does in 2025. 

This is not a retelling of the Infinity Saga, nor will we get the same Avengers Rooster.

Here's how I would reboot the MCU starting with Phase 1, and I wouldn't retell the Infinity Saga because that's already been told, so this saga would be based on the Annihilation arc. However, Phase 1 I would call New Beginnings. Like Dragonball Z sagas, this first saga is also called the Masters of Evil Saga, Phase 2 is The Kree-Skrull War Saga, and Phase 3 is the Annihilation Saga which will have Ultron as the big main bad. 

(Google Image)
I would also come out with two movies and one show or, occasionally, one movie and two shows. I even heard that Marvel will do this now, which is a good move because rushing every Marvel film or show doesn't work. They need to take time to plan out their movies and shows and have a better plan. Right now, the MCU is not doing well, and Kevin is trying everything to fix it since the writers and actors strike. We won't get any new MCU which is a shame because I'm very excited about Deadpool 3. I am also so happy seeing Wolverine wear his iconic yellow suit. Still, maybe it will give them time to think about what they are doing wrong? At this point, most people are getting tired of Superhero films, but in truth, people just want good stories with good characters. 


The first film of Phase 1, aka New Beginnings, would be Captain America and the Invaders. 

-Captain America and the Invaders is the start of Phase 1. 
-The film is not a retelling of Cap's origin. He will already be established as Captain America has been Captain America for a year. He's already being used as the symbol of victory for the Ally forces, much like his MCU counterpart. 
-He's still fighting in the war with Bucky as his right hand.
-The film introduces the Invaders team, Namor the Submariner, Jim Hammond/The Torch, and Toro. As well joining the team are Peggy Carter and Col. Nick Fury. 
-The film focuses on Cap leading a team to defeat the nazis and HYDRA led by the Red Skull.
-The film is more like a war movie.  
-The film's villains are the Red Skull and Baron Zemo. Red Skull and Baron Zemo want to conquer the world and use the power of the cosmic cube to do it. 
-Tony Stark's Great Grandfather is in the film, and much like in the original movie helps Cap design his Shield and helps the Invaders in the film. 
-Cap and Namor don't get along in the film, but in the end, Namor grows to respect Cap and calls him brother. Jim is an android who can turn into fire and wants to be human along with Toro. 
-Peggy Carter is in the film as Steve's love interest, but before she's a SHIELD agent, she's part of the French resistance and helps Steve fight against the Red Skull.  
-Nick Fury would be in the film, but it's Colonel Nick Fury, and this movie shows the creation of SHIELD.
-The film ends with Cap getting frozen, Bucky losing his arm and becoming the Winter Soldier, Namor returning to Atlantis, and Jim and Toro are both destroyed but die, heroes. 
-The end credit scene shows Cap in modern times paying respect to Jim, Toro, Colonel Fury, Bucky, and most of all, Peggy. Nick Fury approaches Cap and tells him the world still needs him, and Steve agrees. Nick tells him he's putting together a team, and he wants Cap to lead it. 

The next film is The Invincible Iron Man.

-The film won't be retelling his origin. He is already established as Iron Man and has been Iron Man for five years. This film takes inspiration from the 2008 comic series. Some of his villains have been established in the universe. It's mentioned he took down the Melter, who will be a villain in a future film. 
-The film has Jim Rhodes, Pepper Potts (Who will be his love interest,) and Happy Hogan, but Bethany Cabe and his cousin Morgan Stark are in the film too. Bethany is head of security at Stark Industries, has her own security company, and she's Tony's ex. Morgan Stark is Tony's cousin who helps him run Stark Industries.
-Iron Man is building new suits, which we never saw on the big screen. The suit he will use is Mark 51 from the comics. 
-Tony's father, Howard Stark, was murdered, but it wasn't Bucky. It was someone else. 
-The film is an Action, SCI-FI, Comedy film. 
-The film's villain is Zeke Stane, the son of Obadiah Stane, who wants revenge on Iron Man for his father's death. Obadiah Stane is mentioned in the film, but it's revealed he killed himself after Tony exposed him for his crimes. As Zeke's girlfriend, Sasha Hammer, will be in the movie, she gets her own iron suit. Zeke will call himself the Iron Monger.
-Jim Rhodey will be War Machine in the film, but Pepper will not be Rescue till the next movie. 
-The film is about Tony having his past return to bite him. Tony needs to stop Zeke from killing the people he loves and everything he holds dear. 
-The film's ending has Iron Man defeating Iron Monger and locking him away in prison. Tony opens the Maria Stark Foundation for Children, and Tony and Pepper begin a relationship. 
-The movie has two end-credit scenes. One has Tony meeting Nick Fury and telling him about a team he's assembling. Tony comments that there are already two other teams, the Fantastic 4 and the X-Men. Nick tells him this is a different team for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and Fury shows him the team name, The Avengers. Captain America introduces himself to Tony, and Tony is shocked to see Captain America alive again. 
-The second end-credit shows Zeke escaping with the help of Sasha, and she says her father wants to speak with him about taking down Tony Stark once and for all. 


The next project, The Uncanny X-Men, will be the first show of the new MCU.

-X Men is the first tv show of the New MCU.
-It won't be an origin story, for they are already an established team. 
-X Men team rooster would be Cyclops, Wolverine, Emma Frost, Storm, Beast, Gambit, Rogue, Psylocke, Archangel, Ice Man, and Colossus. Based on the 90s X Men team Rooster. Professor X is head of the school and helps his X-Men in their missions. 
-The series' point of view will be from Cyclops. The show focuses on him and him leading the X-Men as well. He learns his brother Alex is still alive and working for Sinister. Scott is trying to save his brother from Sinister. 
-The first season is based on Something Sinister Comes This Way. 
-Scott and Emma will be in a romance, and it's mentioned that Jean is dead from the Phoenix Force. It causes Scott to leave the team for a while until he is driven back to help the X-Men, and he's motivated by Wolverine out of everyone. Also because he wants to save his younger brother Alex aka Havok.
-Wolverine is a supporting character in the show but will get his own movie series to explore his origins. 
-There will be mention of other X-Men characters who will be in the show. 
-The X-Men have been around for a while, and they go out and save a world that hates and fears them. 
-In the show, the mutants are looked down upon and looked at as villains. The X-Men want the world to accept mutants.
-Xavier is in the show as the mentor of the team. 
-The first villain in the X-Men fight is Mr. Sinister and his Marauders. Sinister experiments on his fellow mutants and turns them into monsters. For Sinister wants to take over the world with a deadly mutant army with his fellow mutants. 
-Madelyn Pryor will be in the show as Sinsiter's second, and at first, she pretends to be Jean Grey as she is a clone of her. To trick the X-Men and help Sinister.  
- Havok, who will be a member of Sinister's Marauders but eventually betray Mr. Sinister and join the X-Men. Other members of the Marauders are Polaris, Vertigo, Scrambler, Sabertooth, Riptide, N'astirh, Arclight, Blockbuster, and Prism. 
-The series will be about 12 episodes long and each an hour long
-X Men I feel it would work better as a series instead of a movie. 
-The series would set up future X-Men like  Kitty Pryde, Nightcrawler, Sunfire, and many more in future seasons and solo spin-off projects like X Force, X Factor, and New Mutants, and Wolverine would get his own film series, but that would be for phase 2. As well as other X-Men characters like Storm, Gambit, and Nightcrawler.
-X Men explores the mutant community and the struggles mutants face in human society. The X-Men are saving a world that hates and fears them. They want them to know they have nothing to fear.
-The next season has the X-Men go up against the Human Council. You will see a see scene where Stryker says to Nightcrawler. "You dare call that thing a human?!?" 
-Magneto will be in the show, but he appears in the last episode and will be in season 2 and the main villain of season 3. As well Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are Magneto's children. I always hated how they changed that all because of film rights.
-The X-Men will play significant roles in upcoming Avengers movies and many more events.  


The next film is Thor or, as I call it, The God of Thunder.  

-The film is not an origin story. 
-Thor is already living on Earth after he was banished. However, a monster named Mangog attacked Asgard and killed all his friends and family. Before he died, Odin sent Mjnoir to Earth before Asgard's destruction. Thor learns from this from Loki, who escaped the destruction of Asgard. 
-The film is influenced by J Michael's run on the character. 
-Thor wields Mjnoir again; he now seeks to rebuild Asgard and bring back its people. Mjnoir can unlock the human vessels of the Asgardians whose spirits came to earth by Odin. 
-The film will have The Warrior's Three, Valkirye, Heimdall, Balder the Brave, and Sif will be Thor's love interest. As well as new characters Bill Cobb, Beth Sooner, Sam Miller, and Kelda. 
-Loki will be in the film but won't be the villain until the next movie, unlike the old films. Loki is Thor's half-brother, not his adoptive brother. It's revealed that Loki survived Ragnarok and has been living on Earth. He meets with Thor and helps him bring back everyone who died in Asgard, for their spirits are in the bodies of humans on Earth. Loki warns Thor of Mangog, and he has come to Earth to kill the vessels of Asgardians. 
-The film's villain is Mangog, a monster bent on killing all the Norse gods and their people. Thor has stopped him, for he is hunting down the Asgardians' human counterparts.

-The film has two end-credit scenes. One has Thor meeting Nick Fury and his SHIELD agents, and they agree to let Asgard be, but Nick offers Thor to join a team, which Thor rejects at first, but later he starts to reconsider the offer. The second one has Loki planning on taking Asgard, and he has the Enchantress by his side and has a mission for her. 


The next project is a tv series about The Incredible Hulk. 
-The Incredible Hulk will be a tv series much like the old 80s series. 
-The series will be an origin series that shows how Bruce became the Hulk
-The series is action-driven and story-driven and focuses on Bruce trying to control the Hulk
-The series has Betty Ross, her father, Thunderbolt Ross, Rick Jones, Jennifer Walters, Doc Samson, and Sandra Verdugo. Emil Blonsky would be in the first season, but he will become The Abomination in the Avengers film.
-The series' first villain will be Geoffrey Crawford, aka Ravage. Geoffrey is Bruce's mentor, but he later desires to have Bruce's powers, unlike Bruce, who can try to take control. Geoffrey loses control and becomes the villain Ravage. He just wants to destroy everything he sees, unlike the Hulk. 
-The series also has Brian Banner Bruce's father, who abused him as a child. Brian appears in flashbacks in the show.
-Rick Jones would be Hulk's sidekick in the show and help Bruce find a cure, but maybe teach him how to control the Hulk.
-Bruce and Betty's romance is in the show and expanded on. 
-Hulk would cause massive destruction in the show.
-Jennifer Walters will be in the show, but Bruce saves her with a blood transfusion in this version, unlike the She-Hulk show. Even though he would never give his blood to anyone after defeating Ravage, he does it to save his cousin, who gets badly hurt by Ravage. Also, this Jen is a better version of She-Hulk, unlike that awful show. 
-The first season ends with Bruce still on the run, but he is now in control of the Hulk and decides to use the Hulk as a weapon to help people. Nick Fury decides he wants to help Bruce use the Hulk for good. However, it's revealed that Emil Blonsky was secretly working for Baron Zemo and is injected with a gamma and super soldier. We see him start to transform into Abomination. 


The next project is The Spectacular Spiderman. 
-This Spiderman film is not an origin story.
- Like X-Men, Spiderman is expanding on the world, and Spidey is the first to explore the street-level superhero community. However, Spiderman will be in the first Avengers film. That's right, Spidey will be a founding Avenger. 
-The film focuses on twenty-old Peter Parker, living in Manhattan as a college student.

-The film's main villain is Scorpion, and in the movie, Jonah Jameson is responsible for Scorpion because he hates Spiderman and wants to give New York a better hero. Mac Gargan is a guy who is down on his luck and wants to be famous. So Jonah offers to make him a superhero with the help of Dr. Farley Stillwell, and they use a scorpion for it is the spider's natural predator. However, eventually, Gargan feels he doesn't need to take any more orders and becomes a villain. As well, Tinkler would be a villain who designs his suit. 
-The film focuses on Peter living college life and hoping to get a job as a teacher. Peter is in a relationship with Gwen Stacy and is friends with Mary Jane but will later develop a romance with her. 
-This film is one of the first Marvel films to focus on the street-level hero community. 
-Norman Osborn would be set up to become Green Goblin in future films, and Norman Osborn would be a big player in future projects.
-The film ends with Spidey defeating Scorpion, Captain Stacy dies, though, and he knows Peter is Spiderman but tells her to be good to her. Peter and Gwen mourn his death, and Peter reveals he's Spiderman, but Gwen is not angry; somehow, she knew he was Spiderman and still loves him. 
Jonah Jameson takes responsibility for his actions, but Spidey defends him, which helps keep the Daily Bugle even though Jonah still hates Spidey. 
-The film has two end-credit scenes 
-The first end credit scene shows Spiderman in Hell's Kitchen at night, sitting on top of a building, when he gets a surprised visit from Daredevil. Spiderman and Daredevil talk about protecting the streets of New York. Both see a crime happening, and both of them spring into action. 
-The second-end credit shows Norman Osborn testing out a new formula in his lab and as he injects it. Something happens that makes him go crazy, and he starts laughing. We see his face turn green and he looks like a goblin. Green Goblin would be the villain in the next Spiderman film. 


The next project is Tales of Suspense.

-Tales of Suspense is a tv show focusing on Black Widow and Hawkeye.
-The show is about them going on a mission with Nick Fury to stop the HYDRA operation.
-Black Widow and Hawkeye will be romantically involved in the series, and the series will explore their origins on how they became what they are.
-The series' villains will be HYDRA, but the main villains are Baron Wolfgang, a major for HYDRA, whose trying to build a secret weapon to conquer the world. The series also has Viper, a mutant HYDRA agent, and Trickshot Hawkeye's brother.

Clint and Nat still go save them, and they would decide to change their ways, seeing the good in humans. As well they learn Viper is a mutant.
-The first season ends with Black Widow and Hawkeye stopping HYDRA and killing Baron Wolfgang, but both Trickshot and Viper escape. It's revealed that the real mastermind is Baron Zemo, who forms a team called the Masters. Short for Masters of Evil. 
-Hawkeye agrees to join Nick's team, the Avengers, but Black Widow turns it down to focus on dealing with her past. Both Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch want in on the team, and they don't know how their father will react to this, but they want to be better. 
-Hawkeye and Black Widow call it quits each other but remain good friends. 
-The series would set up a Black Widow film in phase 2 and a Hawkeye TV series in phase 2.
-The following season, I want Tales of Suspense to focus on different characters on dangerous missions. 

 The next project is The Black Panther. 

-This film will be an origin story for T'Challa. 
-This film will not have T'Challa join the Avengers until the second Avengers film in phase 2. 
-The film focuses on T'Challa's journey to becoming Black Panther after his father is murdered by Klaw. We would see him face many trials to become Black Panther.

-The film's main villain is Klaw, who wants to steal the vibranium from Wakanda and use it to make powerful weapons. Klaw would build a suit-made vibranium and use it to fight T'Challa.
-We will see T'Chaka as Black Panther, and unlike the original T'Chaka's death, this one dies, saving his son from being killed by Klaw. 
-Also, the origin would follow more of the comic. Ramonda is not T'Challa's birth mother in the comics, his real N'Yami, who died at birth, but Ramonda loves T'Challa and calls him a son. T'Challa even calls her mother, for she is the only mother he ever had. 
-Shuri would be in the film and still be a scientist but also has a bit of her comic counterpart fighting spirit. 
-Okoye would be in the film, and she's T'Challa's best friend and part of Dora Millaje, but she's not captain yet.
- S'Yan is T'Challa's uncle and will mentor T'Challa and train him to be Black Panther. S'Yan, however, does have some desire to become King of Wakanda and Black Panther but is a nobleman who would accept anyone else as Black Panther. He fights his nephew for the throne but is defeated and proudly accepts T'Challa as the new Black Panther and King of Wakanda.
-Hunter is T'Challa's adoptive brother, raised by T'Chaka before T'Challa was born. Hunter was considered an outcast since he wasn't from Wakanda, but despite that T'Chaka and his family loved him and viewed him as a son. Unlike his comic counterpart, Hunter accepts he won't be king but still wants to help the country. T'Chaka has Hunter create the White Wolves, the secret police of Wakanda that keep the city safe at night.
-Storm will be in the film, and she returns to Wakanda, and the film explores T'Challa's romance with her. 
-The film ends with Black Panther defeating Klaw, and he becomes King of Wakanda. He decides to open up Wakanda's borders and help the outside world. Black Panther will play a significant role in future projects as an Avenger and as King. 
-The film would have two end-credit scenes.
-The first end credit has Namor, and he wants to conquer Wakanda and see Wakanda and Atlantis have enemies for centuries. 
-The second end credit scene has some Wakandains angry about opening its borders, and one man wearing red stands up and says the people should decide, and that character is Changamire. He will be one of the villains in the next film.



The next project is Marvel's First Family The Fantastic Four

-The Fantastic 4 also has to deal with personal problems like. Reed and Sue have been married for a few years and they have a four-year-old son named Franklin Richards. They are talking about having more kids in the future. Johnny is going around partying, and he's been hanging out with Spiderman, but he's still immature for his age. Franklin calls him the fun uncle. Ben is still the Thing and wants a cure, but he's got his family with him, and he's with Alicia Masters, who loves him for who he is.
-The film is about family and trying to get things in order. 
-Mole Man is the bad guy in the first film, and he wants the Mole people to rule the service and block out the sun.

-The second end-credit scene has a man named Kurt go into an alleyway and is revealed to be a Skrull this Kl'rt, aka the Super Skrull. He gets a message from his emperor and informs him he is prepared to kill the Fantastic 4 after they sabotage their last small invasion. He says flame on and flies into the air, vowing to destroy the Fantastic Four for the Skrull Empire.   

The next project is Daredevil Man Without Fear.

-Photon will be the first film to explore the galaxy. I'm not going with Carol Danvers because I don't like that character. 
-Monica Rambu will get an origin story, and the film has her not become Captain Marvel but Photon.
-Monica's father will be in the film, unlike the first Captain Marvel, where he was cut from the film. Her father was a massive influence in her life, and he will be in this film like her mother.
-Monica gets cosmic powers after she stops a bomb containing alien technology from the Kree.
-Monica would explore the galaxy, and we would be introduced to the Skrulls, Kree, and Nova Corps.

So we will see the Kree/Skrull war come to earth in a future Avengers film. Hank mentions they know about the Skrulls as the Fantastic 4 have faced them. 
-The second one has a Starlord Cameo, and this film sets up Guardians of the Galaxy, which will be in phase 2 as well a Nova movie. 


The next project is Heroes for Hire. 
-Heroes for Hire is a tv series focusing on Luke Cage and Danny Rand, aka Iron Fist.
-The series is about them protecting the streets of New York as well they become Heroes for Hire.
They do private superhero work for money, but they use that money to help the poor. 
-Luke and Danny have already been established heroes, and their origins will be explained.
-The show would be comedy action series.
-Jessica Jones, Misty Knight, and Colleen Wing will be in the show, too, as supporting characters.
-The series' first main villain is Cottonmouth, who runs a criminal organization selling dangerous drugs that give someone powers as well Steel Serpent is in the show too.
-Heroes for Hire is ten-episode series an hour long.
-Heroes for Hire expands on the street-level community like Daredevil and Spiderman.
-This series also gets Iron Fist done right because the characters need a good reboot, but Luke Cage is okay because they did the character right in the Netflix show. 
-The series would also set up a spin-off show, Daughters of the Dragon, focusing on Misty Knight and Colleen Wing. 


The next project is SHIELD. 
-SHIELD is a tv series that will focus on Nick Fury.

-The series would be ten episodes long and an hour long. 
-The series ends with Baron Zemo assembling his Masters of Evil: Viper, Trickshot, Radioactive Man, Enchantress, Doc Ock, The Melter, Whirlwind, and Abomination.  However, Fury assembles his Avengers: Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Wasp, and Spiderman. 
-At the show's end, it's revealed that Wasp suggested the name Avengers. 



And the final project for Phase 1 is The Avengers, which I would call Earth's Mightiest Heroes The Avengers.
-The Avengers assemble, and their first mission is to stop the Masters of Evil led by Baron Zemo.
-Much like the first Avengers team, we see them all getting to know each having difficulties working together.
-This time, the founding Avengers have nine members, like the Fellowship of the Ring. 
-Captain America is the team leader, and Iron Man is second in command. 
-Cap and Iron Man have some arguments in the film, but the two would grow to respect each other.
-Spiderman is the last recruited in the film as he meets Nick Fury, who tells him Otto Octavius is part of the Masters of Evil. Spiderman is shocked and can't believe it after he takes it in, and he meets Captain America, who motivates him. After that, Spiderman agrees and joins the Avengers. Spiderman develops a friendship with Iron Man giving fans that nostalgic vibe. 
-We see how each team interacts with each other. Some of them get along, and some don't. Wasp is the voice of reason on the team, and Cap is the leader who doesn't take shit from his teammates if they give him crap.

Steve still wonders about Bucky but knows he's all right and hopes to see him soon. 
-The film has two end-credit scenes. Red Skull returns to his base, plans to get revenge on Cap, and says, "We are going to destroy Captain America and everything he holds dear!" The second end-credit shows Steve having a conversation with Tony and discussing with him the idea of expanding the Avengers into more teams. 
 

So That's How I Would Reboot The MCU. 
Now I still hope that MCU will improve in the future, but with the strikes happening, it will take some time. It depends on what will happen after the strikes because big changes are coming to Hollywood.
However, if they reboot the MCU in the future, I would go with Gunn's plan for DC, depending if it is a success. I liked his idea of world-building from what I've seen from Superman Legacy. There are already established heroes and teams like the Authority, but no Justice League yet. 
So let me know what you think, and yes, I will work a part 2 in the future but got other things to work on.

Oppenheimer Review

 

My Oppenheimer Review

So I saw Oppenheimer on Saturday, and here is my review of it...I loved it. I thought it was a great movie. It's very intense and has excellent acting too. Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr were both awesome in the film. The film is about Oppenheimer, a scientist who helps the US government create a bomb that can destroy an entire city, and we all know that bomb is an atomic bomb. We see him and a group of scientists working together on it, and I got to tell you there were some intense moments when they built the bomb because the first testing of it makes you feel like you're witnessing it in person. Also, the film shows Oppenheimer's life as a student, his travels to UK and Germany, his association with the communist party, and his life after they dropped the bomb. Even though he felt ashamed of what he had created, it was the only way to stop World War 2.

The cast of the film all did a great job besides Cillian and Robert, like Matt Damon, Florence Pugh, Emily Blunt, Jack Quaid, Tom Conti, Rami Malek, Josh Hartnett, Emma Dumont, Devon Bostick, Dane DeHaan, and so many more. The cast of this film is enormous, but surprisingly there's no Michael Caine because he's in all of Nolan's films. 

The film was long like it's about 3 hours long, but you're still at the edge of your seat watching this film, and there are some sad moments in this film because what they accomplished helped stop the war, but it destroyed so many lives, and even Oppenheimer felt ashamed of what he created. 
"Now I've become Death, The Destroyer of Worlds."
The Father of the Atomic Bomb.
Overall this is one of Nolan's best films yet, and he's not going to make any more until the writers and actors strike over, and I totally support him and them. I give this film 8 out of 10. Go see it but heads up, it is long, but that's Chris Nolan for ya. He makes long but great films, even if they get confusing sometimes.

Montreal Food Review.

 

So last week, I went to Montreal and had a great time.
This is my first blog. It's a food review because the restaurants I went to were excellent. 
The first restaurant I went to with my girlfriend was 
Taiyo Downtown Sushi
This was a great restaurant where you order from a tablet instead of waiting for a waiter.
The food was 8 out of 10 for me, and for my girlfriend, it was 7.5 out of 10. 
The sushi was good, the teriyaki chicken was great, general tao chicken was good but not that spicy.
The rest of the food was good, like the sushi and the miso soup. 
I recommend this place if you ever go to Montreal. 
The next place we went to was a bar called Saint Bock.
Now we didn't order any food because we had dinner at the Japanese 

The finest golden beer I've had in a long time.
This is the sweetest beer me and my girlfriend I ever had. Like you can't taste any alcohol in the drink.
I give 8 out of 10, and my girlfriend gives it an 8.5 out of 10.  

The following day we went to this excellent bagel place, and I got to tell ya, if you want good bagels, go to Montreal because it's all fresh.
I ordered the cream cheese bagel, which was good, but the cheese egg bagel that my girlfriend got was delicious. I wished I had ordered that instead. 
I give this place an 8 out of 10, and my girlfriend gives it an 8.9 out of 10.
The bagel place was called Hinnawi Bros Bagel and Cafe.

Now this was the best Deli restaurant I've ever gone to.
I ordered the smoked meat sandwich, the best sandwich I've ever eaten.
Like the meat was cooked perfectly, and the mustard was good too. 
The lineup at Schwartz was so busy everyone got a sandwich here, and it's owned by Celina Dion.
I gave it a 9 out of 10, and my girlfriend gave it a 9 out of 10. 
If you go to Montreal, go to Schwartz. They have been around since 1928. 

For Dinner, we went to Omnivore, a Mediterranean restaurant, and I got to tell ya, they make good Shawarma there. It's fresh and well-presented. Also, the lemonade there is freshly squeezed. 
I gave it an 8 out of 10, and my girlfriend gave it an 8 out of 10.

Later that night, we went to a Mexican restaurant called 3 Amigos for drinks and nachos. 
The drinks were good, and to our surprise, we didn't taste any alcohol. It was very fruity. 

The Nachos were good, but they didn't have enough cheese on them, in my opinion. 
I give it a 7 out of 10, and the same for my girlfriend, but she gives it a 7.5 out of 10. 
Also, in the restaurant, all the waiters ran to the customer's tables because it was so busy on Friday. Like everyone was partying like crazy on Friday.
Also, we went to two donut places. The first was Trou De Beigne. They made small but delicious donuts. 
I gave those donuts an 8 out of 10, and my girlfriend gave it a 9 out of 10. As well another one called La Beignerie, they made big donuts, and they were great, and we both gave them 10 out of 10.

On the morning of Saturday, we went to a cafe called Plateau Mont-Royal.
The made freshly brewed coffee, and the croissant was freshly baked. My girlfriend got chocolate, and she loved it. 
She gave it an 8.5 out of 10, and I gave it the same.
The coffee is 8.5 for us too. 



Now our last day, we had to get poutine, and we went to this good poutine restaurant that was really popular.  After we climbed Mount Royal, we walked all the way to this restaurant, and there was an extensive line for it. 
We shared a poutine, and wow, it was incredible, like 10 out of 10 for me. It was the best poutine I ever had, and my girlfriend loved it too but thinks the cheese could have been melted more. She gave it a 9.5 out of 10.  
Now the last restaurant we had for dinner in Montreal was another Mexican restaurant called Arriba Burrito.
The service was understaffed, and the music inside was way too loud. However, the food was terrific, like the delicious fresh tacos. 
I gave this place a 9 out of 10, and my girlfriend gave it a 9 out of 10. 
I just hope they will lower the music if I ever return to this place. 
The morning before we left, we went to this excellent bagel restaurant called. 
St-Viateur Bagel and Cafe Mont-Royal.
The bagels were terrific and fresh too.
My girlfriend's bagel was delicious, and she loved it. I got a BLT bagel, and it was great too.
She gave it a 10 out of 10, and I gave it the same 10 out of 10.


Overall we had a great trip, and I recommend going to Montreal because they have great food, and it is Party City like they say it is.
Let me know what you think, and this is the first of many Food Blogs from me.
