Critic score: 15/100 - User score: 7.8/10 - Here's another Uwe Boll movie! He's the director who consistently makes videogame based movies that are always panned by critics. I have to appreciate his gumption though, even if he is ruining the chances of there ever being a good movie based on these franchises. You'd think this one would be critically acclaimed considering it has Jason Statham, but this was still in his grey period where he wasn't a 100% box office draw, despite 'Driver' and 'Crank.' He was still an indie darling, though it feels like he was always a big action star. He's Dwayne the Rock Johnson level now. That's the level we all wish we were at.
What critics said: "As numbing and depressing to watch as suits hammering out a film-packaging deal one venal clause at a time."
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.
