What happens when you take two big stars like Lucy Liu and Antonio Banderas and put them in an action movie? Nothing. Absolutely nothing happens. The movie costs seventy million dollars to make, yet only made fourteen million. You never know what causes a bomb like this. It could be timing or lack of promotion, but one thing is for sure, this movie sucks. It has a zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes. It takes being pretty bad to get a zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes. The audience score isn't very good either.
It's a ball to the walls action movie, but the action isn't memorable or great. I'm sure poor word of mouth didn't help this movie do well in the box office. If you want to see an awesome action movie starring Antonio Banderas, just put on 'Desperado.' That's the ultimate Antonio Banderas action 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.
