As the last few weeks shake out, there seem to be three tiers: the top two, the bottom two (or three), and then everyone else in the middle.
The most heartbreaking aspect of the film is the absolutely horrible treatment of the victims. Little was offered in the way of relief, and poor leadership let the city fall into chaos.
After an explosive year for smartphones, there were many skeptics believing that Samsung would be unable provide an innovative and amazing new phone that would live up to the hype set by the previous year. After watching the official release video, I have one thing to say to those skeptics: You were right.
For fans of 3D stylish-action games, most people probably know about the protagonist: Dante. The fun-loving, pizza-hogging, wise-cracking demon hunter with a stylish red coat and more weapons than he has limbs. Where did Dante get his start though?

'In A Poem Unlimited' is by far the most ambitious and well-rounded record to date for Meghan Remy. The record finds a balance between genre experimentation and authenticity, a balance that most artists struggle with. Remy finds an equally impressive vocal balance, knowing when to quiet down and when to blow the roof off, an awareness that was inconsistent at best previously. Thematically the LP disarms you with assumptions. In a pleasant, easygoing song, she may soon be talking about killing a man; in a song about the gender pay gap, the drums may sound like they’re being played with a toothpick. Remy plays with moderation, goes left when the listeners say right, and forces them to observe the world through the lens of a woman in 2018.
Wakanda is not a real country. But what’s important is that it could have been, which is one of the core messages behind Black Panther that makes the film so poignant, especially at this moment in history.
