Katlyn Chookagian looks good when it comes to her fighting skills; her face looks like a young Jamie Lee Curtis; but Valentina Shevchenko is on a higher level. Watch as the Bullet slices her open with a “nice” elbow in the first round and nearly KOs her with a spinning back kick in the second.

This is like the first Floyd Mayweather versus Marcos Maidana fight when Maidana (Reyes) bettered Mayweather (Jones) early but got outskilled, or perhaps just tired, as the match progressed. Still it’s a close bout, one in which the decision could’ve went either way.
I think Jon Jones should’ve lost his previous fight with Thiago Santos. It’s tougher to disagree with the judges on this one. Dominick Reyes displays more effective striking in the first three rounds, but the pressure of Jones has him on the backfoot for most of the bout.

These Crispy Squares, promoted as snacks for kids to eat at school, are indeed Made Good when it comes to health. Just compare the Ingredients list, which is relatively short and simple, to that of the average snack food alternative.
The obvious comparison is Rice Krispies Treats, which these taste a lot like. The main difference is the marshmallows, the lack of which make the texture less than appealing. Instead of being chewy, they sort of break apart when you eat them.

Don’t worry about forgetting the name of this album. It’s repeated ad nauseam, which won’t fare well if these songs are ever to stand on their own. There are 24 in all or 23 if you, like me, consider the first one more of a prelude.
Outta My Head is dead, but most are decent enough. The beats bang and Lil Wayne is still one of the better spitters in the game, though the best song; a Dream duet called Sights And Silencers; is the one he doesn’t rap on.

Round 1 looks like lesbian rape; Valentina Shevchenko is on top; but it’s not the best part of the bout. That comes later in Round 2 when Shevchenko knocks Jessica Eye out (“cold”) with a head kick from a leg Joe Rogan just two seconds before compared to a baseball bat.

I don’t know what the Prelude bit is about. Perhaps you’re supposed to play this on your way to Aruba, arguably one of the most beautiful islands in the world; certainly one of the most popular tourist destinations.
The song, mysteriously described as German Musik on Bass Sound Off USA, seems to fit the occasion; the best part being the chords that start it. When they stop near the middle and at the end, the quality takes a deep dive.

Jared Cannonier is a scary-looking dude, but the behemoth height of Dominick Reyes makes him (Reyes) look a whole weight class above. Power shots are the name of the game here. “They’re both fighting like it’s a one-round fight” and it is when Reyes catches Cannonier with an uppercut to the face.

Fans of their epic UFC 165 bout; the closest Jon Jones has ever come to losing a fight aside from his fluke DQ to Matt Hamill; will be disappointed by this sequel. Jones seems up for a replay. It’s Gustafsson who comes up short.
Gustafsson doesn’t look bad here. He actually manages to land some notable strikes. It’s just that he’s not able to stay pass the kicking range of his opponent. Jones ends it in Round 3 by taking him down and pummeling him.

A toy that talks, walks and murders people in a story otherwise set in the real world requires a suspenseful of disbelief. That is unless you believe in Vodou magic. If so, you might be as crazy as the adults think little Andy is when he says Chucky, his Good Guy doll, is really alive.
As silly as it may be, the plot of Child’s Play thrills in some interesting ways. Who’s in the doll, how he got there and how to get out; that’s where Andy and the aforementioned Vodou come into play; are the gist. The boy’s mother and everyone else are just obstacles in his way.
As far as horror movie killers go, Chucky is a force to be reckoned with. He’s more fun and less scary than the others, but no one has more fourth-wall-busting potential in the business of branded toys. With the popularity of this flick, Good Guy dolls should be flying off the shelves.

The one glaring flaw of this show, which follows Lue Elizondo as he attempts to “expose” the truth about UFOs, is that it extends what should be a two-hour documentary to a six part (four-hour) miniseries. It does so by repeating itself ad nauseam.
Perhaps the point is to make each episode stand on its own, but it gets annoying. It’s the compelling concept that keeps it interesting. Though Elizondo places too much importance on eyewitness testimony, which simply isn’t reliable, there is video evidence.
Unidentified revolves (aerodynamically) around the three Pentagon videos revealed by The New York Times in 2017, probably the most government-official clips of UFOs ever released in the US. It starts with what one pilot describes as “a giant Tic Tac”.

If you want to torture yourself, wait till you’re really hungry and try to eat just one of these. I often do try to ration them; my favorite way to eat them is with a sweet drink; but to no avail.
These “crisps”, which aren’t thick like other brands, are better than regular Lay’s potato chips mainly because of their uniformity. They do break but not as often. The taste is about the same.

This is not 100% juice. That’s a marketing lie. There’s water and vitamin C added. Both are good for your health and Mott’s is on a major health kick, so it seems their point is that there are no bad ingredients added. Sugar is, of course, and there’s plenty of it (fructose) in apples, which is the main reason apple juice tastes so good.
