'Crazy Rich Asians' Provides a Timeless Spectacular Event
It's hard to bring a book to life through film in a perfect way—almost as hard as making a new, fun and original film for the screen. Yet, Crazy Rich Asians has done both. The film, based on the 2013 bestseller by Kevin Kwan, is not only enjoyable and a delight to watch, but it is also breaking new ground in Hollywood. Asians is the first Hollywood film in 25 years to feature a majorly Asian cast. Beyond that, the film introduces a culture that is barely known in the west. And it does all that while providing a love story for the ages.

Why Are You Ranking: The Best Dramatic Portrayals of Crack Addicts Where These Actors Will Never Receive an Oscar® for Their Roles Listed from High to Fiend
Before the opioid crisis of the mid to late 2010s, there existed the crack wars of the mid to late 1980s and early 1990s. To capture properly the scenes of despair, familial fractures, and the human toll that the drug game has wreaked on America, moviemakers and television crews seek to depict the addict. Now, a metaphor for liking something to the extreme or unable to shake from an activity, the crackhead, has become a staple in films and shows regarding the proliferation of narcotics. They are among the most affected persons involved in the manufacture, production, sale, and consumption of illicit drugs, currently. Their usage of the substances makes them prime territory for screenwriters, producers, and directors to show the comic, desperate, and devastating effects of the drug trade. As prohibition of such substances remains in effect in the United States and most regions of the world, the problem persists. And as the crack crisis has dissipated, the focus now is trained on prescription pill overdoses and heroin (again). But for now, get your vials and try to evade being caught with a wire for Why Are You Ranking: The Best Dramatic Portrayals of Crack Addicts Where These Actors Will Never Receive an Oscar® for Their Roles Listed from High to Fiend.

Serials soon followed featuring Captain Marvel, Batman, The Phantom, Captain America and Superman franchises.Today, Marvel superhero movies and TV shows based on DC comics are more popular than ever, but some complain that they are a little too tame for some movie audiences.

While there are some family friendly options like Spider-Man, other prefer the R-rated superhero movies such as Deadpool.

My First Ever Walkout: 'Ant-Man and the Wasp'
(Spoiler Alert) I walked out of Ant-Man and the Wasp. I've never walked out of a film before.

Why Are You Ranking: Most Enlightening Business Moments in 'The Social Network' Listed from Foolish to Sage
Never mind (for the moment) the excellent scoring, editing, acting, writing, and directing (among other superlatives). The film The Social Network (2010) stands as one of the best business films to ever come out of Hollywood. Now, of course you might say that it damns money and the whole notion of identifying the founders (and co-founders) of one of the largest companies in human history. But the depiction of the inception of an idea, and that idea being monetized lies at the crux of the movie. While there exist poor fiscal decisions and a disastrous attempt to oust a certain co-founder, the film abounds in the steady progress of what now over two billion people clamor for on an almost minute-by-minute basis. Started by Harvard students, where Mark Zuckerberg vows, upon the formulation of the firm, to “never go back to that life” of pitiful dances at the Jewish fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi, Facebook has changed the face of the planet. At any given moment, somewhere around the globe, users are sharing stories on Instagram, chatting on Whatsapp, or engaged in virtual reality with Oculus VR (all properties of Facebook). And this is what is so tricky about films. Writer (now director) Aaron Sorkin perpetuates the thought that he is not framing a picture, but instead painting a portrait. With real people, it becomes ever more difficult to portray the “characters” just right. (This writing will only pertain to the actions in the film, not the book, and especially not actual life.) So, get your Gap hoodies and flip flops for Why Are You Ranking: The Social Network’s Most Enlightening Business Moments Listed from Foolish to Sage.
