In my humble opinion, War for the Planet of the Apes is by far the best Planet Apes movie I’ve seen and I’ve seen them all. Incredible makeup, incredible acting, incredible story and incredible directing (Matt Reeves). The cinematography is outstanding and the message was loud and clear. This movie couldn’t have come at a better time in our lives. At one point I just weld up and as tears streamed down my face, couldn’t help but wonder why man makes an already difficult world so much more difficult by adding their egos and evil ways to the mix because one thing is certain, WE ALL WILL DIE SOMEDAY! Having said that, I had to give War for the Planet of the Apes a whooping 10.

A woman accused of killing her fiancé by tampering with his kayak, and then leaving him to drown in the cold and choppy waters of the Hudson River, pleaded guilty on Monday to criminally negligent homicide in a case that drew headlines across the country.
The woman, Angelika Graswald, had been charged with second-degree murder in April 2015, after her fiancé, Vincent Viafore, 46, disappeared when his kayak capsized during a trip on the Hudson that month. A spokesman for the New York State Police said Ms. Graswald had pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of criminally negligent homicide.

For much of their son’s short life, Charlie Gard’s parents toggled between two worlds. One was the hospital bedside, where their gravely ill baby was kept alive by machines.
The other was the courts, where Connie Yates and Chris Gard argued passionately that Charlie should be given one more chance to beat the rare genetic condition that his doctors had concluded would inevitably cause his death.
On Monday, the parents gave up their court fight, acknowledging that time had run out and that their son would die within days, not living to see his first birthday on Aug. 4.

We have to be careful what we say of God. Do you know of people who have turned from looking for God because a Christian told them erroneous things about God? Listening to the world talk about Him shows that Bible-believers have often uttered the wrong thing. What Job said about God was right.
And he said.
“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
And naked shall I return there.
The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away;
Blessed be the name of the LORD.”
In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with wrong.
(Job 1.21, 22).
Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!” But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we…
All these years later, all the changes in tennis, all the generations. All the changes in the world, really. And what do we get?
Roger Federer. Wimbledon champion. Again and again. And again, and again, and again…eight times now.
Federer beat Marin Cilic 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 in the Wimbledon final Sunday, and he was so dominant that Cilic, the 2014 U.S. Open champ, seemed to have a panic attack in the middle of the second set—crying hopelessly while he sat on a chair as a trainer stood by him, consoling and working on his blistered foot.
It was Federer’s record eighth Wimbledon title, record 19th major title. About to turn 36, Federer just went two weeks without losing a set and without being pressured in the most prestigious tournament in the world. There must be a few more records in that sentence.
There’s not a whole lot to say about Spider-Man: Homecoming. I liked it and it was entertaining. I think I’ve outgrown the current format, as it no longer appeals to the child in me. Like Deadpool, I found the cheeky lines designed to draw attention like “look at me” and “I don’t think so” pretty corny and adolescent. I guess I’m more attuned to Tobey Maguire’s version of the super hero. This is not to say a younger audience would not find this version great plus this is how the comic book versions are written. I knew there was a reason I didn’t read comic books. Not my cup of tea.
The movie opens at the point when Tony Stark’s / Iron-Man (Robert Downey, Jr.) organization (US Department of Damage Control (DODC) has taken over cleaning up New York after the last big battle involving the “Avengers Initiative”. Adrian Toomes…
Located in Grand Canyon, Arizona, U.S., the beautiful falls has a height of 90 feet (27 meter) and is marked by the cyan-hued plunge pool at the bottom. Expert swimmers can try and make their way behind the falls to a rock shelter.
Within the tiny stretch of land on Broadway and Seventh Avenue between 42nd and 47th Streets — only 0.1% of New York City’s total land area — lies a whopping 11% of the city’s economic output.
On average, 330,000 people visit Times Square every day, a mixture of 56% locals and 44% out-of-towners. To call it “busy” would be to call Celine Dion merely “capable” of belting out an F5 note.
But while the number of daily visitors continues to rise, for nearly a decade Times Square has quietly gone through a dramatic reinvention, all in an effort to make it more pedestrian friendly. And while it may look like an easy solution for the notoriously congested area, its decades of debate and planning show just how complex the restructuring of the most visited destination in the United States truly has been.
Finally, a summer movie with a very different theme. Baby Driver is not your run-of-the-mill gangster movie flick. Instead it is a unique story about a young adult who made a mistake and put himself into a bad situation. That was the good news, the bad news is he now has to pay it off. The problem with paying off debts to bad people is you’re never done, especially if you’re good at what you do. Baby Driver takes place in Atlanta, Georgia and tells the story of Baby, who mostly grew up as an orphan when his parents died while arguing during a car accident. Baby was strapped in the back seat and the only survivor.
As a result of the car accident that left Miles “Baby”, (Ansel Elgort) / Young “Baby” (Hudson Meek) an orphan, he suffered tinnitus causing him to use music to block out the…
