Out and About in LA: The LACMA

So a few weeks ago I decided to go to, wait for it, ANOTHER museum! I guess this makes me a snob of the fine arts since I seem to always go to museums. Anyways, I had a lot of fun at the LACMA or ‘The Los Angeles County Museum of Arts’. Probably my favorite of the ones I’ve been to so far. (The Getty had the prettiest layout and landscapes but this had more collections.) I hope you all have fun with some of the sampling I will show below. If you haven’t been, whether a regular in LA or a tourist, I would recommend going when you get the chance.

Kingsman: The Secret Service (Review)

Ever since secret agent James Bond became a film icon in 1962 there have been a ton of imitators. Even in 2015 we are seeing people poke fun at the British legend and now a comic book channeling the character is being adapted to the big screen. Kingsman: The Secret Service is a Mark Millar/Dave Gibbons project that has gotten the Matthew Vaughn treatment by becoming a slick, spy comedy. While watching Kingsman you are definitely going to be seeing a lot of subtle and no-so subtle nods to 007. But that also means there are the similar warts that come with the character.

The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death (Review)

If you are not aware dear reader, apparently the first Friday of the year is now Halloween. At least that is what the studios want you to believe with the last five years opening with a horror movie. In general January is the month where movies go to die as the unwanted releases come out so the studios can worry about prime movie season later. Which leads us to the unwanted, and convolutely named, The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death. When the title distracts you by remembering a killer Slayer song from 1986 you know you are in for a rough outing.
