Zero Day
Being on a summer break gives me an opportunity to catch up with some TV shows and movies. So, I just binge-watched Zero Day, a 6-episode political thriller produced by Netflix that is based on 2011 David Baldacci's book. Robert De Niro plays George Mullen, a former US president who was tasked with heading a special investigation commission after America experienced a one-minute cyber attack on computer systems that killed over 3,000 people and wreaked havoc on the country's infrastructure.

40 Years of 'Back To The Future'
Great Scott! Greetings, Vocal readers and subscribers! July 3, 1985: a date that would forever be etched in pop culture. On that date, the following movie and a franchise would soon take the world by storm. That movie was called Back To The Future. No one knew that a movie about time travel would eventually gain a fanbase. The 1980s was defined as a time when life was simpler and yours truly was born in that decade. Unfortunately, I was not born when Back To The Future was released in theaters. I came into this world nearly two and a half years later. It wasn't until 2015 that I saw this amazing movie for the first time, around the time of their 30th anniversary. I believed that AMC had a marathon where they aired all three movies. My reaction to seeing the first movie was positive and in awe. Every aspect of the movie was perfect from start to finish. One of the things that captured my attention was the DeLorean, the time travel machine. Here are some interesting facts about the sports car:

Los Angeles Comic Con
There are comic book conventions all over the country at all times of the year. I get to attend a lot of them and after some extensive attendance I am proud to say that I do have a favorite. Now all conventions have their merits, some are smaller and easier to navigate. The larger ones offer plenty of new things to get excited about, and San Diego Comic Con is legendary for a reason. But the best convention, the one I look forward to every year is Los Angeles Comic Con.
