This is a board book for babies and toddlers to teach them the meaning of basic words like “apple” and “dog”. The words are labeled with example pictures and mostly tacky background colors.
The order of the chapters seems random and little kids may be confused with certain words like “truck” under “dump truck”; “mobile” confused me; but I guess it does what it’s supposed to do.

From the looks of it, Luke lives up to his name in this Light Heavyweight debut. He’s 205 pounds of Rockhard muscle compared to his opponent, but that extra weight seems to slow his defenses. Jan Błachowicz lands several strikes during the first couple of Rounds before dropping him with a surprise left-hand bomb to the chin.

War doesn’t Rise to the level of the orginal, but it’s better than the Dawn. It doesn’t seem so at the start; the first third is pretentious and overdramatic; but before too long, the story starts to get interesting.
It’s an adventure of sorts as The Apes, led by Caesar, go against Alpha-Omega, a military group led by a “bad” Colonel whose purpose is to save humanity from the plague that mutes people and “turn us into beasts.”

Johnny Walker looks like a peak Anderson Silva in this UFC 235 fight, which isn’t much of a fight. Misha Cirkunov throws a left hook out of range, then a left kick. Walker returns with multiple fakes, then boom; a flying knee to the chin. Fight’s over.
What’s unusual about this bout is what happens immediately after. Walker does a miltary salute, presumably to himself, purposely falls facedown on the floor, attempts to do one of his signature dance moves and injures himself in the process.

Kanye West really only has four proper albums; the first three, which could be referred to as the College trilogy, and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, which could be considered his magnum opus. The others come across as oddball concept albums. This Jesus set is no exception.
It’s the Kanye West gospel album, though, at a mere 27 minutes, it’s barely an album at all. Ye, his previous release, is the same way; a short set with short songs. The former “short” bit is forgivable. Songs matter more than albums, which are basically just a way to group songs. It’s the latter that irks.
These songs aren’t bad; Hands On and Closed On Sunday actually sound good; but they’re held back by time restraints. Imagine if On God ended with an uplifting choir chorus or if the one on Selah played again after the second verse. This is like the rough demo version of a good Kanye West album.
His voice is grating on God Is and Use This Gospel is led by what sounds like the noise my car makes when I open the door with the key in the ACC position, but it’s cool to hear Kenny G on a rap album and Water sounds like an updated version of the Endolude from MC Eiht’s We Come Strapped.

Despite Jon Anik’s claim that Nate Diaz is “supremely conditioned as usual”, he seems a little rusty to me. Anthony Pettis, who lands some solid head shots in Round 1, looks better on the feet. Still Diaz manages to outfight him, mostly due to his constant pressure.

Don’t be fooled by the title. KRS-One is still The Teacha, but Edutainment doesn’t sell. Rap fans want Sex And Violence, so Build And Destroy has him responding to the racial criticisms of Brother J by telling him he’ll get “fucked up” while the minor on 13 And Good gets fucked. The album is raw and sloppy compared to other Boogie Down productions; why isn’t the “rock-and-roll” bit on the title song; but it’s still fresh… “for 1992, you suckas!”

Ivan Locke is a concrete foreman, husband and father who needs to get his priorities in order. The whole movie consists of him driving his BMW, talking to people via Bluetooth and those conversations drive the narrative interestingly enough. It’s his reason for the trip under the circumstances presented that border absurdity.

This movie is led by its dialogue, which comes via 112 Emergency Services calls. The main dispatcher is a man named Asger Holm, who’s on the job temporarily in lieu of his regular gig as a police officer.
The reason for his reassignment is what drives the story’s underlying subplot; he’s apparently on trial for unjustly killing a boy in the line of duty; but the main plot is about a woman who’s been abducted.
We just hear voices; it never leaves the perspective of Holm; but that’s what keeps it suspenseful. Just when you’re ready to convict, there’s a twist. Lesson? Never reach a verdict before you know all the facts.

I want to eat Jessica Parker Kennedy. I don’t just mean that as a metaphor for licking pussy. I mean I want to eat her face like a cannibal. It looks like someone already got to her nose, but it’s slightly odd shape only adds to her prettiness.
If she’s not perfectly pretty, she’s about as close as I’ve seen. That’s thanks in part to her creamy skin color, which is indeed perfect in my eyes. It seems rare to catch her without make up; the one true beauty test; but she’s also cute without it.

As an Anderson Silva fan; he’s my favorite UFC fighter; the end of this bout is hard to watch, but he sort of brings it on himself. While I disagree with Joe Rogan’s hindsighted claim that “you can’t play games in The Octagon”; Silva’s antics have been successful until this point; The Spider simply goes too far here.
It’s a carryover from his last fight at UFC 153 in which he stood against the cage and let Stephan Bonnar punch him seemingly just to entertain the crowd, but Chris Weidman, led by head coach Ray Longo, isn’t having it. “Punch a hole in his fucking chest,” Longo commands. Weidman aims for the jaw instead.

video review : Chris Weidman versus Anderson Silva at UFC 168
The bigger they are, the harder they fall… after getting kneed in the solar plexus. Stephan Bonnar talks about taking Anderson Silva “on a ride thru Hell” in his pre-fight monologue, but he gets carjacked in the first round.
Most amusing is how Silva plays with him during the bout, putting his back against the cage and letting him tee off on him as if his 15-0 record isn’t on the line. Joe Rogan wants him to fight Jon Jones. That would be epic.
