Day Shift Movie Talk

 Day Shift Movie Talk

Dayshift starring Jamie Foxx, Dave Franco, Karla Souza, Snoop Dogg, and Meagan Good is now playing on Netflix and was holding its own in the Netflix top ten movie list. Admittedly, I was not that enthused to watch this so it took me a little while to get around to it. I am glad I did though. Day Shift was a fun and exciting watch. If you are concerned about watching a horror movie, do not be. It was more action than horror, more suspense than scary. 


The movie follows a pool cleaner who’s doing way more than cleaning pools. Jamie Foxx plays Bud, a vampire hunter/slayer in modern California. Unfortunately, his marriage is in shambles and his financial situation is equally messed up. 


The first few scenes are exciting and intriguing enough to keep you watching. The characters and storyline, though simple, gave me a reason to continue watching. Although I found Bud to be a little bit of a jerk, I was interested enough in his situation to see what would happen next. 


The contrast of killing vampires in sunny California was a perfect parallel because it symbolized that even though things may look cheery and bright in life, there can also be some difficult situations going on that people want to pretend are not happening. The cast was a really good choice and all interacted well together. The cast had really strong chemistry together and the comedic timing was on point. 


The combination of a talented group of actors, good backstories, and fun action sequences made this an enjoyable watch that I was able to momentarily get lost in.

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

Bust Off That Gut With the Insanity Workout By Carl Barton It can be quite the dizzying experience trying to find the right workout regimen when a person decides to get back into shape. In many cases, it takes a high level of commitment to stay on track with whatever kind physical of activity and/or diet that is chosen. For people who truly desire results and have a high motor, the Insanity Workout could be the right option for a variety of reasons.
