28. Avengers: Age of Ultron

This movie has the same problem as 'Iron Man 2' had with Mickey Rourke. We needed more James Spader as Ultron. I'm sure if you calculate the minutes he's in it, he has plenty of time, but I need more. His voice is so smooth yet crackly. I could listen to him talk all day, especially as the child-like Ultron. That character is both brilliant and naive at the same time, which Spader plays very well, given the material.

What I like about this one is that Ultron is an enemy of Tony Stark's own creation. He's not the most interesting bad guy, but the fact that this one is on Tony makes for an interesting dynamic within the Avengers, which all leads up to the lack of trust in Civil War, the third Captain America film.

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.
