Box Office Top Ten Movies

By Patrick Hill @Pathill17 @NeonRenMagazine

Even though summer has not arrived, that still doesn’t stop theaters from being crowded. Hey, it’s the box office top ten movies from May 19^th to the 21^st. Some of the movies that are on this list has been around since last month. Even so, some have deliver while the rest on the list were so and so. The thing about these movies is that companies spend $100 million dollars on production as well as marketing these films. Just think how much you would do with that type of money. You can finally tell your boss to go, well you get my point. You can finally retire and live your dream of lavish and luxury. You can finally pay back your college loans. You can even start your own production company. However, you would imagine how much of that you would have to pay back in interest giving the fact, they are loans. If a movie doesn’t do well domestically, and internationally; investors won’t fund your next project. We have seen the industry flood money into films such as Suicide Squad which was a terrible film only to have a successful soundtrack to save it. Not to mention Gods of Egypt for which it was a complete disaster might I say.

In this list, you will not only know about an Alien Covenant. The fact that they are Guardians of the Galaxy. Everything is just everything. Someone was snatched. That a wimpy kid wrote a diary about a long haul. The story of King Arthurs legendary sword. That our fate is within our furious circle. A baby run your company. A beautiful woman hook up with a beast. A Latin teaches you how to be a Latin Lover which is actually the title of the movie. I am not making that up. This is all from Box Office Mojo and IMDB website which is my source for all box office information. So,here are your box office top ten movies of the weekend.
1. Alien Covenant
2. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol: 2
3. Everything, Everything
4. Snatched
5. Diary of a wimpy kid: The Long Haul
6. King Arthur: Legend of the sword
7. The fate of the furious
8. The Boss Baby
9. Beauty and the Beast
10. How to be a Latin lover
You can catch all these movies in theatres today. Check your local box office for ticket price. Look out for the next article on the top ten movies for the summer.

Billboard Top 10 Albums

By Patrick Hill @Pathill17

We are five months in and we are hearing incredible music in 2017. Going into 2017, we witness The Weeknd rise to the top chart. Let’s not forget Disney “Moana” Soundtrack which was number three on the Billboard chart during The Weeknd number one status. Now, it gets more interesting due in fact Ed Sheeran, Mary J. Blige, Drake, Gorillaz, The Chainsmokers, and Kendrick Lamar all drop their albums after each other within one month a part. It’s interesting to see Mary J. Blige back in action with her new album “Strength of a woman” which is doing quite well as it is the number three album on the chart. The Chainsmokers have been doing amazing with several of their singles being number one on the Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. However, their album was number one for a week, and it is now number nine on the chart. Ed Sheeran who is always the delivery man when it comes to making a strong start. Ed Sheeran album “Divide” is number five on the chart. Mister Champaignpapi aka Drake has always been Billboards top charted with his new album “More Life.” It was once number one for four weeks than drop to number two. However, it has dropped down to number four on the chart. We all been waiting for Gorillaz since they arrive to the music scene late 90s or early 00s. Not sure but you get my point. Gorillaz are back and they sound better. They took the number two spot on the chart after the album “Humanz” drop last week. It’s only been one week and they are head of Drake (Oh’man). See what I just did there. The number one album on the chart needs no introduction. It is Kendrick Lamar aka Kung Fu Kenny with his album “DAMN.” Pretty much sums up his album. After dropping “Humble” and “DNA” from the album, one can only hope how the next track from the album could make you say “DAMN” again, again, and again. I know I forgot some honorable mention albums but here is the top 10 albums list.
1. Damn. by Kendrick Lamar
2. Humanz by Gorillaz
3. Strength of a woman by Mary J. Blige
4. More Life by Drake
5. Divide by Ed Sheeran
6. Epic AF (Pink/Yellow) by Various Artists
7. 24K Magic by Bruno Mars
8. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Awesome Mix Vol. 2 Soundtrack by Various Artists
9. Memories. .Do not open by The Chainsmokers
10. God’s Problem Child by Willie Nelson
To see Bruno Mars and Willie Nelson on the chart is incredible. Who will take the number one spot the next time I post; Stay tune.

A REVIEW OF THE NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES THE GET DOWN

By Juan Carlos Diaz @Tearsofwardiaz

As an avid fan of hip-hop, I always yearned for a depiction of the early days within the realm of film, be it through a TV show or movie. Some might argue that Hollywood has already explored the early days of hip-hop with films such as Breaking and Beat Street, which were both released in the early 1980s. Despite showcasing hip-hop as its own musical genre, both fil focused on only on specific element of hip-hop, which was break dancing. Those of us who are fans of hip-hop, however, are aware that there are four elements that make up the foundation of this particular musical genre. The first layer that makes up hip-hop is the graffiti artist that would spray paint messages on bare walls and subway trains. The second layer of the foundation of hip-hop was the DJ, which would fabricate beats by using bits and pieces of existing musical recordings. The third layer was of course the MC, which would write and recite lyrics over the DJ’s beats. The final and fourth layer of this beautiful collage was break dancing.

Oddly enough, I can say that not one of the layers that have mentioned were ever properly depicted on film (at least in my opinion). That is until director Baz Luhrman released his masterpiece The Get Down on Netflix. Releasing in two parts, the first part of this series takes place in Bronx, New York, 1977. The show follows the characters Ezekiel Figure, a half African American and Puerto Rican teenager who has a deep love for writing poetry. This particular character is played by Justice Smith who is known for his corky role as Radar in the film Paper Towns. Mylene Cruz, Ezekiel’s love interest is played by newcomer Herizen Guardiola, as she tries to balance her desire for becoming a disco star and obeying the strict rule of her overbearing father; who is a Pentecostal church minister.

The audience will also be introduced by a host of different characters, like Boo Boo, Dizzy, and Rah Rah, who are Ezekiel’s closest friends. The group’s existence within the show is no coincidence, however. Each of Ezekiel’s friends represent archetypes within the hip-hop genre. For example, Boo Boo represents the bravado get money attitude that is present within hip-hop song sometimes. The character Dizzy represents the artistic free that a lot of graffiti artist carried with them at the time. Rah Rah, however, represents the social awareness that was present in a ton of hip-hop songs in the mid-seventies and early eighties Also, another vital character to the series is Shaolin Fantastic, which is the DJ of the crew.

However, what make the Get Down so fascinating to watch is that the show discusses the political and social climate of New York in 1977, depicting the landslide victory Ed Koch had over Mayor Beam and its effect on the African and the Puerto Rican communities. Also, depicted in the show were some of hip-hop’s historical figures, like Grand Master Flash, Kool Herc, and Afrika Bambaattaa and the Zulu Nation; all of which help with the development of the show’s plot. In my opinion, it is because of these elements gives this show 4 out of 5 stars.
