Jennifer Garner's most recent roles don't scream "action star," but you youngins might forget that Jennifer Garner was an action star in the show 'Alias.' It wasn't super-hero level action, but she proved she could kick ass. Unfortunately, this role isn't considered a classic by any means. Here's the big problem with this movie. The year was 2005, and superhero movies were still very rare. Comic book fans were starving to see their favorite characters on the big screen, not Elektra. It's like if you really wanted to drink alcohol so you went to a party, and all they had was kombucha. Sure, it has alcohol, but like 0.08%. We can't get messed up off that! I hope you understand the analogy.

The movie is just middle of the road, but I think it gets a worse rap for the reason I list above.

Did You Know...

Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.

So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.

Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
