Movie Review: Joy

This past weekend, I had the opportunity to see the new David  O'Russell film, Joy, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert Deniro. The film Joy, centers around an aspiring inventor by the name of Joy. Joy had some ups and downs in life, a failed marriage, two kids, living at home and support her parents , children and grandmother, and her ex-husband. It isn't until one day, when she comes up with a savvy idea to make  the all-in- reusable and detachable mop, inspired by a household accident.  Joy has this great idea and it is ahead of its' time, nothing like this has been created before. So, joy treks on a journey to get her mop patented and sold to the public, but along the way , she deals with the workings of the business world and how to be an entrepreneur, an especially as an independent woman. She faces challenges , but what is remarkable , with perseverance, the right business connections and creativity, Joy achieves her wildest dreams.

The cinematography of the film was well done, and the production sets were reminiscent of the 1970s, early 1980s. It is a nice throwback. In addition, the performances by Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert Deniro were well done. Over the years, Russell has kept these 3 in his films and the chemistry has blossomed from Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle, and now Joy.

My rating for this film is a 7.5/10. Its a good movie for everyone to watch.  Go see it in theaters!

Drizzy Drake's God's Plan

What's up everyone, I know I've been on hiatus but I've been listening to some great music lately, and some from one of my favorite artists, Drake. Drake dropped two new singles a couple weeks ago, with God's Plan and Diplomatic Immunity. These are hits already and God's Plan has already gone platinum. Drake also shot the music video and released it last week . The video is set in downtown Miami, FL and Drake gives back to the community and gives money to those in need, cars, and other charitable organizations in the process. It was just under a million, but money wasn't an issue for Drake.  Check out the hit song and the wonderfully shot video! Enjoy! https://youtu.be/XUqRem0W8L8
