This Week's UPDATES

The best thing about being vaccinated from COVID-19 is getting out of the house and going places like the movies, like yesterday, went to the Regal Theater on Union Square in Manhattan to get the ultimate experience. I saw Marvel Studios' Black Widow in 4DX, an experience that that makes viewers feel the action of every scene through the biggest innovation in cinematic technology to date. In standard showings, the movie would not have been as much fun as 4DX, and the last movie I saw through this experience was Black Panther in 2018, but aside from all of that, Black Widow was an OK movie. People say that David Harbour as Red Guardian was one of the best performances in the movie, Scarlett Johansson put on a killer performance as Natasha Romanoff, and it maybe the last time she'll ever play this character which has been with the MCU since the beginning but what a perfect send-off. Also, Florence Pugh who plays Yelena Belova did great as well, and not to give away anymore spoilers, but I say that her time in MCU is just getting started. With all of this being said, let's hear some more news with the help of the trusty 7-Day Round-Up.

Our Main Topic this week is on the Fourth of July, hey I know that was last week, but I have a great story to share. I travelled with my sister to North Plainfield, New Jersey to pay one of our brothers, Larie and his family a visit after they invited us to an outdoor BBQ. I don't mean to give much away, though I don't know all the details, but my older brother Larie moved with his family from New York to New Jersey, last week was the first time I got to see his new house and it looked amazing, a littler smaller than my house, but looked amazing. The food at the BBQ was great, I would say that the food I had on the Fourth of July last year was a little more excellent. The night before I was in New Jersey, I had a cheeseburger and fries while seeing F9 in theaters, I figured that if I wasn't invited to a 4th of July BBQ last week, then I would order a burger and french fries to have some resemblance of a BBQ. Luckily, I was welcomed to sample the hot dogs, ribs, pork, fish and chicken that my brother made on the grill last week, although aside from the food, there was basketball hoop in the backyard and when playing some ball with my nephew LJ I scored some baskets and made some three point shots from long range. The best part of visit my brother in NJ was getting a great view of all the fireworks at night, in fact I took some pictures and videos while I was there which readers of this post can see in what is being called for the first time ever, the Web Choice gallery.

Nice looking house, great food, and a backyard great for laying in the sun.

There's LJ and Layla in their backyard.

Beautiful sight to see.

Selfies with the fireworks.

The house looks great at night and so do fireworks at Coney Island.

Love the fireworks.
