The Review: Fallout

Fallout 9/10

This was a damn good show. I know about the Fallout video games and watched a play through of one of them years ago, but have no attachment to whether or not it is similar to the game in terms of characters or anything. From shows I listen to you do not have to have any knowledge of the game to enjoy this. It starts off with this guy named Cooper Howard. He is a cowboy at a kids birthday party being mocked by some of the adults there. His daughter Janey is there with him. She asks why he didn't want to do a thumbs up like the men asked for photos and he eventually tells her it relates to seeing explosion sizes in the distance. Minute later as everyone ignores the news of the president in hiding and nuclear threats she spots a huge smoke cloud in the distance. They witness an explosive shockwave and run away on a horse while the neighbors fight one another for bomb shelter space.

Curtain Call: King Hedley II

King Hedley II 8/10

This weekend I went to see this play at A Noise Within with my best friend. We got there as it started to drizzle and got to the ticket booth only to be told that the tickets did not exist. She asked what we should do and I was like “Get something to eat” because I had been up since 5am and was hungry again. They said they had a few more tickets and sat us in the front row. We were both like “Um...” because I don't wanna sit front row for anything. So we sat and saw that the stage had this rubber dirt all over it and knew it was gonna flew towards us at some point. And by the way, there were quite a few seats available and we did not need to be sat that close to the stage. I like this place but they were having all kind of ticket finding issues when we got there. Now that is over I can talk about the play.

The Review: Casino

Casino 9/10

This movie starts off with the main star being blown up in a damn car. That was my introduction to the movie Casino. I somehow never got around to seeing this which shocked L. So we watched this three hour movie over two days. This starts off in the early 70's where this dude Ace is sent by the mob back in Chicago to run Tangiers. He sends them money every month and everyone is happy because he is very good at his job. One day his friend Nicky shows up and he is like “I can do a lot of bad shit here and get away with it!” Ace is like “Chill. This is not Chicago. FBI and cops will get you.” Nicky is like “Bet” and almost immediately starts fucking things up by doing assaults and robberies. Nicky brings in his friend and younger to help him ruin lives. Nicky is drawing all kinds of attention but Ace can't have him sent home or killed because he is Jewish and not truly gonna be a part of the gang.

The Review: Barbie

Barbie 8/10

I liked this weird ass movie. I wasn't in a rush to see it in theaters because the people rushing to see it honestly. You know how you can like a musician but not the fans? Yeah. Same thing. So Barbie is living her best life in Barbieland. The Barbie's, of which there are many kind, just enjoy life doing Barbie things while the Ken's just battle for their attention. One of the Ken's is into barbie and is only happy when she is around. One day Barbie wonders out loud about death and the party stops. She plays it off but the next morning wakes up with bad breath, her food is coming out wrong, and she suddenly has flat feet which freak everyone out. They tell her to go see Weird Barbie which made me crack up because my cousin had one when we were little. Turns out almost every woman I know had some weird ass barbie that they beat up or gave bad haircuts to. I did not know this was a for real thing.
