I watched Straight Outta Compton two days ago, and must say that it was a terrific film. I'm a huge fan of O.G. rappers like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, the late Eazy-E, Warren G. and Ice Cube, so of course I enjoyed the origin story of how the rap group N.W.A. was formed (no, it didn't stand for 'No Whites Allowed'...though who would blame Dre and company if that's what the acronym stood for considering what they went through in the late '80s and early '90s? F—k da police). So who else bobbed their head when the song 'California Love' started playing during 2Pac's scene in the movie? I sure did.
I also watched The Man from U.N.C.L.E. this weekend. Personally speaking, Henry Cavill gave a more interesting performance as art thief-turned-spy Napoleon Solo in this film than he did as Superman in 2013's Man of Steel. But I'm still looking forward to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice next year. The lovely Alicia Vikander reminds of the just-as-beautiful Nina Dobrev from Let's Be Cops and The Vampire Diaries (Vikander is from Sweden and Dobrev is from Bulgaria...so I can't really joke about them being related). They should do a movie together. A Star Wars film, perhaps (as villains; maybe so-called Nightsisters)? Hey, I made this same tongue-in-cheek comment when I said that Jurassic World's Colin Trevorrow should direct Star Wars: Episode IX almost two months before Disney actually made this a reality, so you never know!
