Fic Reviews that are Long Overdue

Hi y’all, it’s jizz! I’ve been neglecting tumblr for a while and by extension, my to-read page–she’s boasting over 300 (!!!) posts at the moment! 😳

Many of these i’ve already read, but have been too lazy busy to actually set time aside and review. i plan to do that from now on until my list is empty! i owe so many writers thoughtful feedback on their wonderful fics.

in no particular order, i’ll be making my way through my long-neglected list and tagging my reviews, in addition to my normal tags, with #overduereview.

my first one will be today! my goal is to do at least one a week and work my way up from there. stay tuned for some long overdue jizz recs!

Mad Max: Fury Road

“What a lovely day!” is how I was feeling walking into the movie theater getting ready to watch this continuation of the classic series from the 1980s. After the end credits rolled, I was not feeling exactly the same way. I guess I must like the original story better than this adaptation. 

As far as the special effects and visual aesthetics go, this movie is phenomenal. But, if you wanted to base this movie off of the character portrayal it would not be Tom Hardy’s best effort. He does the role justice, he just has very few lines throughout the movie. He narrates the movie in parts but he grunts for most of the movie. This is exactly what was needed to make Max look like the dog that he is in this scenario but a little more dialogue would have been better for my taste. I’m just one critic though!! It was an excellent movie and I enjoyed it. Charlize Theron, as usual was great as Imperator Furiosa.

Overall, I would say to wait until this movie comes out on Netflix to see it for yourself. As a matter of fact, watch the 1980 original movie, Mad Max with Mel Gibson first. The plot is rather different and shows a normal side to Max before he turned into the ravage dog he is now. But, definitely watch this movie at some point, it is a great movie.

You know, hope is a mistake. If you can't fix what's broken, you'll go insane.

Mr. Wonderful

Action Bronson is an entity that many people are still unaware of, for whatever reason. The dude can rap, and apparently act, because all of his music videos are great. Mr. Wonderful is an album that strays from his original approach on Dr. Lecter or Well-Done. Many of the beats come from a producer named Party Supplies who helped Bronson to make both Blue Chips and Blue Chips 2. Both mixtapes are tremendous and deliver classic samples of people like Tracy Chapman and other obscure legends. 

Mr. Wonderful is a combination of Action Bronson’s hope to be mainstream but also to maintain his Hip-Hop mafioso persona. Tracks like “Baby Blue” which features Chance the Rapper and “Thug Love Story 2017″ accentuate Bronson’s BC feel. Bronsoliño extends his hand into the Hip-Hop melting pot and provides his unique non-perfectionist style. Many of the tracks are obviously finished tracks but on some he begins by exclaiming things like “Fuck, I’m sorry.” But, this is not a negative mark on Bronson’s rapping capability. Everyone knows he can rap but he shows the process of making a record to the very core. It’s similar to when Michael Jackson would have the demo versions of his songs on Off the Wall or Thriller.

Needless to say, this album is excellent. However, it is not the best we can see from Action Bronson. He gives himself room to improve and make an even better album the next time around. With another two great albums, he could be considered one of the best underground rappers of all time. I’m sure he wants more and he definitely has the ability to do so. Good luck Action!

BUSH

eDon’t start listening to this album with a closed mind, expecting to hear Snoop Dogg rap his usual liquid gold. This is more a great work of art. Snoop goes for the sensual soulful approach with his most recent effort, BUSH. The album is extremely funky and much replay value. You could easily play this album front to back for a party. Much of Snoop’s career has been focused on weed, and this album is no different. The title and cover leave little to imagination but he uses this break to find a way to re-fire your synapses. This album accentuates what music is supposed to be, it gets the audience personally involved.

When Snoop blesses your headphones you will immediately be intertwined into the world that is Pharrell’s production. The success of N*E*R*D and the Neptunes would not be possible without his creative touch. Pharrell provides great bass-lines and incredible electric piano riffs to make this aromatic experience more than atmospheric. You are sent to another planet for almost an hour until you finally come down to enjoy two great verses from Rick Ross and Kendrick Lamar on “I’m Ya Dogg.” 

Find a way to hear this album. You will not be upset after you’ve heard the incredible duo of Snoop Dogg and Pharrell for the feature album, BUSH. GET IT NOW!!
