Bullet Train still holds the number one box office spot in its second week out in theaters. I had the opportunity to watch it this weekend and am pretty glad I did. It stars Brad Pitt as an assassin, Ladybug, who is just getting back to work after having some time off and currently going through therapy. His unlucky streak finds him in the middle of a very dangerous assignment. Ladybug just wants to get through this assignment peacefully and quickly but quickly learns that he signed up for more excitement than anticipated. 

When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I was on the fence about wanting to watch it. 

After watching a few more trailers and learning that Antoine Fuqua was one of the producers, I decided to give it a shot, and honestly, there was nothing else out that was compelling enough to watch instead. Surprisingly, I ended up really enjoying this film. Now if you are not into blood and gory killings then this may not be the film for you. It is an action-packed thrill ride that keeps you guessing throughout the entire thing. Coupled with the pacing of the film the suspense made Bullet Train an exciting movie. 


The acting was on point as one would expect with the collection of actors that were cast. I was happy to see Brian Tyree Henry who I enjoyed in Eternals. Other actors in the film are Joey Kings, Bad Bunny, Hiroyuki Sanada, Sandra Bullock, Zazie Beetz, and Andrew Koji. There were also some cameos that made it an A-List affair. Although most of the setting was on the bullet train, the subplots and flashbacks allowed for some variety in scenery. The whole thing fit well together. Were there some predictable moments? Yes, of course, but I would say this was a thrilling and fun watch overall, regardless of some of the predictability. And although they were really all bad guys, I did have my favorite assassin that I was rooting for which pulled me into the movie that much more. 


8.5/10


Lesson Learned: Be a good person, and even though you think it’s bad luck, keep going as it may be life aligning for you.

Do Something Different

Do something different. Shake your life up a bit. Our brains are funny little 3 pound masses that can take us for a loop and we are still learning so much about it. As much as I enjoy having a routine in my life because it gives me the illusion of having control, variety is also key for cognitive health. Soomi Lee, PhD, assistant professor in the USF College of Behavior and Community Sciences reports "findings suggest that active and engaged lifestyles with diverse and regular activities are essential for our cognitive health." I am not a regular baker but I wanted to do something different. I have not baked in quite some time and I probably won't even eat all the cake but it was a fun and different activity to do. So even if you do not do something drastic. Shaking things up even a little bit can help change the trajectory of your thought, attitude and day.  Article Source:  Variety and consistency are essential to keep the mind health My related Tiktok below @wandatob

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo Scroll down to listen to the podcast here Recently a comedian has been under fire for making hurtful comments toward the artist Lizzo about her weight. Aries Spears in an attempt to be funny mocks Lizzo about her weight and her looks. He also goes on to say that he can get away with being a big dude and women cannot. He then attempts to pivot in a spectacular show of hypocrisy that instead of supporting her expressions of confidence women should be pointing out potential health issues linked with obesity. Sir! What are you doing? I really wanted to take this opportunity to point out that we as a people, as a nation should be less focused on individuals and more on the industry that’s putting crappy overprocessed foods on the shelves. They are appealing to our need for convenience. They are using science and psychology to influence us to buy these crappy foods. And let's face it, who doesn’t love a good sweet or salty snack or fast food that we ca
