Critic score: 34/100 - User score: 8.8/10 - This is a Ryan Reynolds' movie so it naturally has a fifty fifty shot of being good or bad. Dwayne The Rock Johnson has the same batting average. It's not their faults. They just do so many movies that they are bound to be stinkers. 'Self/Less' is about an old guy, played by Ben Kingsley, who takes the body of a young person, played by Ryan Reynolds. That means Ryan Reynolds had to act as if he was being Ben Kingsley. That's impressive! Critics didn't think so, but audiences had a good time.
What critics said: "'Self/less' is a celluloid smoothie blended from dozens of familiar elements, but it's neither tasty nor nutritious." Wow, which Jamba Juice hurt your feelings to where you had to take it out on this movie?
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.
