Fighting with My Family April 21, 2019 bizadmin In 2002, in Norwich, England, UK, 10-year-old Zak Bevis is engrossed by the WWF (now WWE) King of the Ring pay-per-view event until his younger sister Saraya changes the channel to her favorite program, Charmed. The siblings wrestle, urged on by their parents Rick and Julia. Rick books the children for their first wrestling match where Saraya, initially reluctant to wrestle a boy, goes on to win as planned. At 18, competing under the ring name “Britani Knight”, Saraya and her brother “Zak Zodiac” help their parents train prospective wrestlers while working toward their own promotion. Rick and Julia, struggling financially, ask WWE trainer Hutch Morgan to sign the siblings. He finally agrees to a tryout before a SmackDown taping at The O2 Arena, and tells Saraya to find a different name as they “already have a Britani”. The siblings receive advice from Dwayne Johnson, and Saraya adopts the name Paige from her favorite character on Charmed. The two try out with several other wrestlers and are all belittled by Morgan. He ultimately chooses Paige over the rest, despite her attempt to have Zak signed as well. With her brother’s encouragement, Paige leaves for America while Zak continues wrestling on the British independent circuit, assisting his parents’ wrestling school, and tending to his girlfriend and newborn son. Arriving at NXT in Florida, Paige has difficulty adjusting to the WWE style of entertainment – chiefly, the absence of intergender competition and the inexperience of her fellow female trainees Jeri-Lynn, Kirsten, & Maddison. Paige struggles with performing promos and Morgan’s constant belittlement. Morgan makes it clear to Zak that he will never be signed to WWE, and Zak falls into alcoholism. Paige discovers her parents are selling merchandise of her likeness without her permission and have booked her in a match against Zak scheduled for her Christmas break. At an NXT live event and her in-ring debut, Paige is heckled by the crowd and freezes up, leaving the ring in tears. She decides to bleach her hair blonde and spray tan to look more like her fellow trainees, which only causes more friction between them. After failing an obstacle course, Paige lashes out at the trainees for gossiping about her when they were actually discussing Kirsten, who has been away from her daughter in order to give her a better life. Morgan tells Paige that her brother’s future in WWE would only have been as enhancement talent and signing would have ruined his life. Morgan encourages Paige to quit and return to her family for a happier life. She travels home for the Christmas break. Just before the match against her brother, Paige tells Zak she is leaving WWE. Angry that she is giving up the dream he failed to achieve himself, Zak goes off-script, defeats Paige and then tells their parents her plans to quit, devastating Ricky. After the family finds Zak in a drunken bar fight, Paige admits that Morgan declined to sign Zak to protect him and he needs to focus on what is important in life; his family and coaching children who look up to him. Paige changes her mind after Zak berates her for giving up on their shared dream and she returns to Florida and her original appearance. She drastically improves in training, befriending and encouraging her fellow trainees. Zak quits drinking and returns to training his parents’ students. Morgan brings the trainees to WrestleMania XXX, where Paige is booked in a suite with The Rock and learns she will make her Raw debut the following night against WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee, as recommended by Morgan. Paige makes her Raw debut and again freezes up, but Lee starts the match and unexpectedly puts the Divas Championship on the line. With her family watching on TV, Paige wins the match and the title, finally comfortable enough to say a promo, “This is MY house!”. An epilogue explains that Paige remains the youngest Divas Champion and was an early leader in the ongoing Women’s Revolution, that one of Zak’s trainees, who was blind, became a wrestler, and pokes fun at The Rock’s movie career and Rick selling shares in the family business. The closing credits include footage from the family’s 2012 documentary and Paige’s debut match.
Shazam! – 2019 Movie April 18, 2019 bizadmin In 1974 Upstate New York, young Thaddeus Sivana is arguing with his father and brother during a car trip when he is transported to the Rock of Eternity, a magical temple hidden in another dimension. He meets the ancient wizard Shazam, the last of the Council of Seven Wizards, who has spent centuries searching for a new champion who is “pure of heart” after the previous champion went mad, releasing the Seven Deadly Sins upon the world. Thaddeus is tempted by the Sins, entrapped in statues, and is deemed unworthy and banished back to Earth. Upon returning, he makes a scene trying to go back which causes the car to swerve and crash; his father ends up crippled and his older brother blames the incident on him. In present-day Philadelphia, foster kid Billy Batson runs afoul of the law while searching for his birth mother, and is placed in a group home run by Victor and Rosa Vazquez with five other foster kids; Mary Bromfield, Pedro Peña, Eugene Choi, Darla Dudley and Freddy Freeman, Billy’s roommate and superhero enthusiast. Meanwhile, an adult Sivana, embittered by his rejection as a boy, discovers a way to return to the Rock of Eternity. There, he steals the Eye of Sin, becoming the Sins’ vessel and besting the Wizard before returning to Earth to kill his father and brother. At school, Billy saves Freddy from bullies and is chased into a subway, where Shazam magically summons Billy, chosen as the new champion. By calling Shazam’s name, Billy is transformed into an adult superhero now endowed with the wizard’s name; thanking Billy, Shazam the Wizard turns to dust, leaving behind his staff. Returning home, Freddy helps Billy explore the extent of his newfound powers: electricity manipulation, invulnerability, super strength, hyper speed, higher intelligence, and flight. Freddy’s videos of Shazam testing his powers become a viral sensation, and Billy begins skipping school to use his powers for money and fame in Shazam form. Seeing Champion Shazam save a bus on the news, Sivana easily defeats him and demands he surrender his powers, but he transforms back into Billy to escape into a crowd. From the news, Sivana deduces Billy’s identity and abducts Freddy to find Billy. At the Vazquez home, the other children also deduce Billy’s secret and tell him they have found his mother, who lives nearby. Billy meets his mother, learning she abandoned him when she was a single teenage mom. Sivana calls Billy, having taken his foster siblings hostage, and Billy as Shazam agrees to give Sivana his powers to spare his family’s lives. Sivana and Shazam travel to the Rock of Eternity, where Sivana takes the wizard’s staff, but the siblings follow and attack Sivana. Shazam uses the distraction to stun Sivana and realizes that Sivana loses his powers when all Seven Sins leave his body. Sivana pursues Shazam and his siblings to a winter carnival, unleashing the Sins upon the crowd. As Wrath battles Shazam, the other sins capture his family, demanding his powers. However, when Sivana recalls the sins, Shazam uses the opportunity to take the staff and stuns Sivana. Remembering the Wizard’s words, Billy uses the staff to share his powers, transforming his siblings into adult superheroes like him. Shazam breaks the staff and battles Sivana, whilst his siblings distract the Sins. Shazam baits Envy out of Sivana’s body, leaving Sivana powerless, and takes back the Eye of Sin which recaptures all Seven Sins. Billy and his family are hailed as heroes, and Billy embraces his foster family as his true family. Returning The Eye and the Sins to their prison, Billy and siblings realize the now vacant Rock of Eternity can be their new lair. Later, Billy arrives at school in his Shazam form to have lunch with his siblings, revealing he has invited Superman, much to Freddy’s joy. In a mid credits scene, the imprisoned Sivana is approached by Mister Mind with a proposal claiming he can give Sivana his powers back. In a post-credits scene, Freddy tests whether Shazam’s champion form has fish telepathy like Aquaman, which Billy dismisses as stupid.

Dumbo – the 2019 Movie March 31, 2019 bizadmin In 1919, Equestrian performer and World War I veteran Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) returns after the war to the Medici Brothers’ Circus, run by Max Medici (Danny DeVito). However, the circus has run into financial troubles and Medici has been forced to sell the circus’s horses, so Medici reassigns Holt as the handler for the circus’s pregnant elephant Jumbo. Jumbo gives birth to a calf with abnormally large ears and Medici orders Holt to hide the ears before he’ll allow the public to see the calf. However, the calf accidentally reveals his ears in his debut performance. The crowd mockingly names the calf Dumbo and pelts him with peanuts and other objects. Jumbo is distressed by Dumbo’s treatment and rampages into the ring causing extensive damage and accidentally killing a member of the circus staff. Afterwards, Medici sells Jumbo in order to prevent a public relations disaster. Holt’s children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) comfort Dumbo and realize Dumbo can fly by flapping his ears. They also discover that feathers are the key to Dumbo’s willingness to fly. In another performance, Dumbo plays the role of a firefighter to put out a fire with water sprayed from his trunk. However, the performance goes wrong and Dumbo is trapped on a high platform surrounded by flames. Milly risks her life to deliver a feather to Dumbo, giving him the confidence to fly. The audience is astounded when Dumbo begins to fly, and word of Dumbo begins to spread. V. A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), the owner of the Dreamland amusement park, approaches Medici and proposes a collaboration. Medici would become Vandevere’s partner and the Medici Brothers’ Circus’s troupe would be employed to perform at Dreamland. Later, Vandevere demands that Dumbo should fly with trapeze artist Colette Marchant (Eva Green) on his back. However, their debut performance at Dreamland goes wrong with Dumbo nearly falling off a high platform leading to him trumpeting in alarm. Dumbo hears his mother’s call in response and realizes that his mother is an exhibit elsewhere in Dreamland. Dumbo flies out of the circus ring and reunites with his mother. Fearing that Dumbo’s mother may become a distraction to Dumbo, Vandevere orders Jumbo to be taken away and killed. He also fires all of the Medici performers from Dreamland. When Holt and the rest of the Medici troupe learn Vandevere intends to kill Jumbo, they resolve to set both Jumbo and Dumbo free. The circus performers utilize their various talents to break Jumbo out of her enclosure while Holt and Colette guide Dumbo to fly out of the circus. Vandevere attempts to stop them, but accidentally starts a fire triggered by mismanagement of Dreamland’s electricity system which spreads and destroys Dreamland. Holt, Colette, the children, and the troupe bring the elephants to a port where Dumbo and Jumbo board a ship back to their native home. Afterwards, the Medici circus (now named the Medici Family Circus) is re-established and flourishes while Dumbo and Jumbo reunite with a herd of elephants in the jungle.

Captain Marvel – 2019 Movie March 14, 2019 bizadmin In 1995, on the Kree Empire’s capital planet of Hala, Starforce member Vers suffers from recurring nightmares involving an older woman. Yon-Rogg, Vers’ mentor and commander, trains her to control her abilities while the Supreme Intelligence, artificial intelligence, and ruler of the Kree, urges her to keep her emotions in check. During a mission to rescue an undercover Kree operative infiltrating a group of Skrulls, alien shapeshifters with whom the Kree are at war, Vers is captured by Skrull commander Talos, taken aboard their Earth-bound vessel, and subjected to a memory probe. Vers escapes in a pod and crashes in Los Angeles. Her presence attracts S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Nick Fury and Phil Coulson, whose investigation is interrupted by a Skrull attack. In the ensuing chase, Vers recovers a crystal containing her extracted memories while Fury kills a Skrull impersonating Coulson. Talos, disguised as S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Keller, orders Fury to work alone in case of other shapeshifters after Fury says he has found a lead on Vers. Using his security clearance, Fury takes Vers to the classified Pegasus U.S. Air Force base in her memories. There she discovers she was an Air Force pilot presumed dead in 1989 after crashing a plane with an experimental engine designed by a Dr. Wendy Lawson, whom she recognizes as the woman from her nightmares. A S.H.I.E.L.D. team led by Talos, disguised as Keller, tries to capture them, but the two escape in a small cargo jet, with Lawson’s cat Goose stowing away. They fly to Louisiana to meet former pilot Maria Rambeau, the last person to see Vers and Lawson alive. Talos arrives at the Rambeau home just as Vers discovers her real name is Carol Danvers. He reveals the Skrulls are refugees searching for a new home and Lawson was a Kree renegade helping them. He then plays the recovered black box from Lawson’s plane, prompting Danvers to regain her memories and remember the day of the crash: Lawson tries to destroy the engine’s energy-core before she was killed by Yon-Rogg. When Danvers destroyed it she absorbed the energy from the ensuing explosion and became amnesiac. Talos then leads the group to a cloaked lab ship orbiting Earth, where several Skrulls are hiding and protecting the Tesseract, the source of the energy-core. Starforce captures Danvers and brings her before the Supreme Intelligence. During their conversation, Danvers removes a Kree implant that was suppressing her powers, gaining full access to all her abilities. During the subsequent battle, Fury retrieves the Tesseract and Goose, who is revealed to be a Flerken, an alien with a pocket dimension inside her body. She swallows the Tesseract before scratching Fury’s left eye and blinding him. Danvers destroys ballistic missiles fired by Kree official Ronan the Accuser, forcing him and his forces to flee, then overpowers Yon-Rogg on Earth and has him return to Hala with a warning to the Supreme Intelligence. Danvers departs to help the Skrulls find a new homeworld, giving Fury a modified pager to contact her in an emergency. Meanwhile, Fury drafts an initiative aimed at locating heroes like her — changing the name after finding a photo of Danvers in her Air Force jet, which bears the call sign “Avenger”. In a mid-credits scene set in the present day, the pager, which Fury activated prior to his disintegration,[N 1] is monitored by Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Bruce Banner, and James Rhodes. Danvers appears and asks Fury’s whereabouts.[N 2] In a post-credits scene set in 1995, Goose climbs onto Fury’s desk and regurgitates the Tesseract.
Earn Free Bitcoin in 5 minutes February 27, 2019 bizadmin I was surfing the website or world wide web when I came across the video below that’s embedded in this blog post: Just click on the Play button to see more information. As a rumor, I have heard that Project Ubin in Singapore is kicking off soon in March for its IPO of bitcoin or cryptocurrency of Asia. In 2007, we never heard of cryptocurrencies, Instagram, Airbnb, WhatsApp, and other technological startups. So, what’s holding you back. In my opinion, I am neutral to cryptocurrency but might change my mind shortly as I see more people jump on the bandwagon to get a slice of the economic pie.
The Knight of Shadows: Between Yin & Yang February 6, 2019 bizadmin Today is Chinese New Year of the Boar in 2019, and I would like to wish my dear readers a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year. I celebrate the occasion by watching a movie above starring Jackie Chan. The plot goes like this: A legendary demon hunter (Jackie Chan), tracking down beasts that enter the human dimension, assisted by a lawman protégé and a mixed group of friendly monsters. You can watch the trailer on Youtube that’s embedded in this blog post to get an idea of what I mean. Well, the show took 2 hours or so and the graphics were entertaining, albeit poor storyline. Nevertheless, it was entertaining to watch in the Premiere Class of GSC. Many cinema goers came in red clothing, and some families bought the same design red t-shirts to show unity and solidarity. This is the first Chinese New Year that we celebrate without dad’s presence as he had gone to be with the Lord on 17th December 2018 last year.
