All You Need is Love, The Beat Bugs and 6 Months of Netflix Free #StreamTeam

Beat-Bugs-1

This month’s #StreamTeam post is all about the Beat Bugs. If you haven’t seen it yet, it is really well done. Because I am part of the Netflix #Streamteam I receive a subscription to Netflix and a yearly gift as compensation. However, my thoughts and opinions regarding Netflix and their programming are 100% my own.

So, Beat Bugs just started this month and it has quickly become a favorite in the house. The kids are singing the songs and that is really awesome. The songs are Beatles songs and so that is pretty fantastic. The songs are done by contemporary artists. The kids liked the songs so much they offered to help me sing the theme song to the show.

If you liked that then you are really going to like this. This month I am giving away a 6-month subscription card to one lucky winner who posts their family’s “All You Need is Love” cover. You need to post this video to Instagram or Twitter and use the hashtag of #BeatBugs and also tag me @BenSpark so that I know you entered. I will pick a Winner on August 29th.

My Thoughts on Suicide Squad

I went to see Suicide Squad before work today. There are many critics that have been panning this movie but I liked it. The movie itself was a fun ride. A good popcorn chomping action movie. The performance that Will Smith gave in this movie was so much better than anything seen in the Batman vs. Superman movie. He put heart into the character of Deadshot. Despite Deadshot being a villain he was someone that you could identify with. His motivation is to help his daughter. Like any father he wants his daughter to see him as a decent person. He is a killer, however he has a code and he provides the heart of the team.

The other character that gives a great performance is Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. She provides most of the comic relief for the movie. Her crazy antics and her constant “yes” attitude also motivates the team. There are good moments between Smith and Robbie, too. They carry the movie but there are other characters that have some great moments as well.

Viola Davis is Amanda Waller. She give the perfect performance as that character. She is tough, manipulative and smart. She knows how to make a team of killers, metahumans and crazy people do what she wants. She wants to protect her country and will do whatever it takes to do it. Her methods are extreme and unflinching. That is the character of Amanda Waller and whether you like that character or not she gets things done.
