Premiere date: April 4, 2014

Where Viewed: Regal Galley Place movie theater

Description: Based on the Marvel Comic Book

Critique:

There is a new and hidden threat in S.H.I.E.L.D. and it is up to Captain America and Black Widow to uncover it before it destroys them and everything that S.H.I.L.D. stands for. Samuel L. Jackson is back as Nick Fury with a new hero Falcon that works with Captain America and Black Widow to destroy their common enemy. However, that proves to be harder than what it seems. When the movie goes back into Captain America’s past and exposed a ghost that provide to create a moral dilemma for Captain America. In the end, it is Captain America’s decision that will show the audience that even gods/ heroes bleed with emotions.

If you are looking for action and drama then look no further than Captain America and the Winter Solider. The only thing that I regret about this movie is the lack of romance between Captain America and Black Widow. So my message to the writers for Captain America three is doesn’t neglect the love story that you hinted at in this movie. Overall, I give this movie W.O.W. Radio 5 stars.

Indie Music Review: "To Be Loved" by Whitney Tai







Artist Name: Whitney Tai
Track Title: "To Be Loved"
Genre: Pop
Location: New York
Lyrics (words of the song): 5 stars
Delivery (how the song is expressed; expressive style): 5 stars
Sound Quality (accuracy, enjoyability, or intelligibility of the audio output): 5 stars
Diction (style of speaking; pronunciation and enunciation): 5 stars
Music Bed (beat, background music): 4 stars
Theme (topic or idea of the song): 4 stars


Most notable thing about the project? Whitney Tai's debut album (which will include "To Be Loved") is targeted for a release towards the end of the summer. Whitney has very strong vocals, which is a testament to how she has been able to gain such a following with only 1 song having been officially released. She undoubtedly has enough talent to compete with any major artist out there.
Would you buy this project? If this is a sign to come, then I would absolutely buy the project.
Suggestions to better project? It's hard to make suggestions at this time with only one single to go off of. I hope that she continues with the Dance Pop songs, but also maybe songs that give her a chance to show more range, as well.
Provide a summary of your thoughts concerning this track/album: The track is actually very unique, in some ways, it almost feels like a call back to 90's dance pop songs (it vaguely reminds me of Jennifer Lopez's smash, "Waiting For Tonight).
The lyrics are surprisingly kind of dark for a Dance song, which in turn, makes the song that much more accessible, as it definitely strays from a typical, cookie-cutter format. While I wouldn't call it the most lyrical song, it does a great job of hitting it's target with the words and cadences chosen.
The production is very on target, as is the sound quality. But Whitney's vocals are definitely the star of this track. Her voice is strong, clear, and manages to even be uplifting during the chorus, giving legitimacy to a Dance track that has pretty dark lyrics otherwise. I can't wait to hear the different ways she shows off that voice of hers in future songs.


As far as looks, style, and outright vocal ability, Whitney seems poised to have a shot at super stardom.
