Bad Boys for Life

 


                       ‘How you fuck a witch without a condom?’ – Marcus Burnett

After 25 years of working together as detectives in Miami, Mike Lowrey feels as young as ever but his partner in crime Marcus Burnett is ready to retire. But with people out to kill Mike the duo work with special department, Advanced Miami Metro Operations (AMMO) to bring them down.

The Bad Boys and their supporting cast needed time to warm up. The beginning lines weren’t delivered well nor was the acting convincing. Reggie sounded so nervous delivering his lines. I know Marcus and Mike intimidated you before Reggie but you should be over that by now.

Although the two bad boys did snap out of it their crew in AMMO never fully developed. Vanessa Hudgens needed to be written more lines because Kelly continually shaking her head in response to Lowrey as gun shots rang around her wasn’t good enough for me. Rafe being a douche to Mike for no good reason, didn’t work for me either.

As they try to get themselves together in Miami, Isabel Arteas is instructing her son Armando from Mexico, to ensure her revenge plan to work perfectly. In all the conversations with her son, Arteas never unnaturally slips into English, which is something I’m sure only I care about, but if a character's ethnic background is important to their role all of it should be showcased, especially if they are in a Spanish-speaking country.

During the investigation Lowrey squeezes out information from old informant Manny the Butcher. DJ Khaled did well in his cameo role, taunting the so highly praised Mike Lowrey. This wasn’t his only contribution to the film, as executive music producer he made sure songs by Jennifer Lopez, The City Girls, and Rick Ross gave the film the hot and confident Miami feel.  

Martin Lawrence had a reduced action role in the film, but this had no effect on his comedy. The last hour is filled with well delivered slick jokes as he tries to make the Bad Boys become Good Men.

With 8 years between Bad Boys and Bad Boys II and more than double that before the release of the third instalment, Bad Boys for Life, makes it seem like sequels aren’t always that bad. With time, patience and a few key players, there’s nothing keeping these Bad Boys from going on for Life.

The Rock is the Worst Actor from the WWE

Despite the joint second highest paid actor of 2019 being Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson, the question remains if WWE superstars can successfully change paths and become great actors. I originally was going to discuss the idea that Dwayne Johnson’s acting career has been inferior to that of his former WWE colleague Dave Bautista’s , who is appearing in more films as of late, as I have found some of Bautista’s performances in films such as Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) to be much more enjoyable than The Rock’s blockbuster films like Central Intelligence (2016) . However; although Bautista has vocalised his desire to be an actor as opposed to just a movie star, both men are stuck in the roles of the muscular and powerful characters that they were in the WWE. Dave Bautista in his role as Drax, from the  Marvel Universe Johnson and Bautista have upcoming summer releases, Hobbs & Shaw and My Spy respectively, which see them taking on roles of “badass” government op

On November 9th internet juggernauts KSI and Logan Paul fought in six round boxing match in which one point difference made KSI, real name Olajide Olatunji, victorious. Along with an unpredicted result, as both fighters anticipated knockouts, what was also surprising was the way mainstream media embraced the online world. Mainstream media seems to be embracing online content more in terms of entertainment as American late night TV shows have are often on YouTube's trending page. However, the relationship between the social media and mainstream worlds isn't as strong in regards to sport. KSI standing victorious after beating Logan Paul on November 9th. But for #KSIvsLoganPaul2 many mainstream outlets wanted to be a part of it. One of the main platforms that did this was Sky Sports Boxing. Not only was the fight made available on box office but also the London press conference was live streamed and was followed by many interviews from British social media star

What Sneako is missing…..

Image
  On the 20 th of October commentary YouTubers Aba and Preach uploaded a video in response to recently deplatformed content creator Sneako who criticised the Canadian’s for not making a video speaking out against YouTube’s decision to delete his channels. Earlier this month Sneako‘s two YouTube channels were taken down after the New York based creator received three strikes on his livestreaming channel SHNEAKO where the streamer posted red pill content, talked negatively about women including aggressively simulating sex towards youtuber Chad Chad. Aba and Preach aren’t the first content creators Sneako, real name Nico Kenn De Balinthazy, has expressed discontent with. In late August the 24-year-old had an argument with KSI, Britain’s biggest YouTuber, on Twitter because Sneako was upset that KSI was celebrating Andrew Tate, fellow red pill content creator, being banned on  all popular social media sites.
