How to watch "Shazam"

-

Do you remember the power of your imagination? Being a kid able to create an entire universe inside of a box? Idolizing Superman and Batman while pretending to be Spiderman?

It does not matter what your answer is, because in a world filled with comic book and superhero movie entertainment as great as we have today there HAS to be a differentiating factor between another DC movie and a GREAT DC movie. Especially when you take into account horrible mishaps like Suicide Squad, or amazing, successful accomplishments like Wonder Woman.


What a wonderful, funny, entertaining and heartwarming movie Shazam is! Please go watch this movie with your family, significant others, friends and anyone who needs and/or likes to have a smile on their face throughout and after watching a movie. Please think about your childhood before going in to watch it. Think about the happiness of playing yourself tired on a bike, with a toy, or just a cape with which you imagined you could actually fly and be super strong and super fast.

Shazam comes into DC to destroy the idea of a dark or sad universe. Zachary Levi, Asher Angel, Jack Dylan Grazer, Grace Fulton and the rest of the family cast are amazing at making you love and sympathize with a foster home whether you know what that is like or not. Mark Strong has the villain status completely under control, he proves to be a villain that wakes up the true nature of Billy Batson as a superhero that is way younger than the rest of the universe around him.

The exploration of what it means to be cast into being a superhero when you want the powers and not the responsibilities is very effecting when portrayed through the role of a kid who has lost his family. And is therefore angry at any family that wants to accept him with love, just because he has been hurt by the very love that everyone calls “strong” – motherly love.

A house is not a home until YOU decide to call it that.

Laugh, smile, think like a kid and decide like a responsible superhero. This movie is one of my favorite in terms of all time DC movies because it asks of its audience to do something that is not very common in every movie: 

think about how lucky you are that you have a place you can call home.

Merry Christmas For You and Me

Every Christmas is different... And me as a lover of christmas, am going to tell you about what I think christmas means. Grab a cup of coffee, play your favorite carroll and enjoy. I have had the privilege of having friends brave enough to have endure the horrible disease that cancer is at years end. They do not care for pitty, they do not care about your "everything is going to be ok". They could not care less for your careful-brittle hugs as if they were about to break just because they have a disease... On the other hand, they want your smiles and jokes, they want to dance and celebrate just like you that the year is about to end and they are alive, they want those tree-hugging, bear-sized happy hugs that lift you off the ground and make you lose your breath... They love the uncertainty of life, the present they are given and that they get to live with people that just want them to smile, have a great time, and forget that they are or were ever sick.  "The ...

Let the tech year unfold...

The new Apple event was announced a couple of days back. And my last tech-episode on the podcast got me thinking about this year and the current "trends" in tech. I believe that Apple has one of the biggest challenges you could ever hear in front of them: adapt to survive WHILE BEING ON TOP. Steve Jobs was an amazing underdog, a creative mastermind that rose to the top of the tech community at his time and shot Apple like a rocket to the summit of the world as one of the most influential and prosperous companies ever... However, that IS NOT the company that Tim Cook has had to deal with. Apple is now working in saturated laptop and smartphone markets and is trying to maintain its innovation and creativity. People think it is easy to stay on top... Amazon has had to get all kinds of creative by entering product line, new services offers and buying pieces of the market they compete in as they did with Whole Foods. Facebook is saved by the quality of companies like In...

Don't Underestimate Me

No one is born great at everything... I believe running is a great example for life... No on is born a great runner and no one becomes a perfect runner; the true beauty behind running is not finishing, it is starting... Because there are no shortcuts, no one gifts you endurance, we earn every kilometer or mile we run. The first place is cheered on just as much as the last... Because both accomplished their goal; the first knows what it felt to start out at the bottom and the last knows being first is a matter of effort, patience and drive. My grandma had no mother, my dad had a dirt floored house, my mom was "too short" to play voleibol, my grandpa did not finish school... Everyone has a story that they can use as an excuse or surpass as a push to their life. My grandpa used to tell me that the "cheat" to negativity is to wire your brain to leave bad days behind and yearn for the best of days that are still to come... And today, this present you are feeling ...
