TOP 4 FAVORITE FEMALE ACTION HEROES OF ALL TIME

It's no secret that the film industry isn't the most female friendly industry the world has to offer; the income disparity, the scarcity of female lead roles in general other than romantic comedy all which are a telling indicator of Hollywood’s conventional attitudes towards women, their abilities and their values - with leading roles staying predominantly within the romantic comedy genre, other films genres like action are not usually synonymous with the female gender.

It's not that we don't enjoy a film that's a bit action packed, that makes us sit on the edge of our seat but because there are so few films that we can relate to, as we usually have nothing in common with the protagonist who is more concerned with breaking hearts and driving cars than saving lives.

However, with a new area and awakening of the women hero in films we have seen a drastic change in the roles that women are taking on, one that encompasses a female character who is strong, independent and an all-round bad-ass, who would give Bond and Bourne a run for their money.

This revolutionary change in film where we are seeing women take on the role of the hero opposed to the role of damsel in distress its huge and empowering for women and young girls across the globe because when you don't expect to see yourself as the hero you don't usually forget what it looks like.

With women characters at the heart of films now shouting, fighting, competing for justice or seeking revenge they are showing that they are totally equipped for completing their missions just like men. To celebrate this pendulum swing in the empowerment of women we look back at our favorite action films starring beautiful bad-ass women who show us that we don't need a man to save us, we’re totally capable of saving ourselves.

*NEW* CHUCK BERRY'S 28 GREATEST HITS ON DELUXE VINYL!!

Chuck Berry

In the firmament of rock 'n' roll's first-generation creators, no artist looms larger than Chuck Berry. In a consistently innovative recording career that spanned more than 60 years, the iconic singer-songwriter-guitarist, who passed away on March 18, 2017, laid much of the groundwork for modern rock 'n' roll, while creating some of rock's most distinctive and enduring anthems, from “Johnny B. Goode” to “Roll Over Beethoven,” “Rock and Roll Music” to “Reelin and Rockin’,” and many more.

Geffen/UMe are paying tribute to the immortal spirit of Chuck Berry with the ultimate vinyl version of his landmark greatest hits compilation, The Great Twenty-Eight, with The Great Twenty-Eight: Super Deluxe Edition.

Chuck Berry and Fats Domino were celebrated at the 60th Grammys last week...

Berry's recordings for Chicago's seminal Chess label have been extensively anthologized in the CD era. But for many Berry devotees, the two-LP vinyl collection The Great Twenty-Eight remains both a sentimental favorite and a definitive document of Berry's musical genius. It's no wonder that The Great Twenty-Eight was ranked number 21 on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time," the highest-ranking hits compilation on that list. For those interested in the original 28-track edition of The Great Twenty-Eight, it is now back in print in its original two-LP format for the first time since its initial release in 1982.

THE SUN: HIDDEN TRUTH REVEALED

The Sun shines bright and shows that all will be revealed today. You have a clear romantic path and all of the dark days associated with recent disappointments are over. A hidden truth is revealed, and everything negative associated with it goes away once it is brought to light. There is no arrogance linked with growth today. You deserve the all good things that come your way.

The Major Arcana Represents Major Life Lessons: If the Sun comes out on the first card of your reading in the positive position, you are leaving the past behind you and ready for all the opportunities in front of you, but you might be in a hurry, because you are very optimistic, and you might make a mistake.

If the Sun shows up in the outcome of the reading in a positive position, it indicates assurance that you are finally going to revel in the new light that guides you to your new future. You have learned to leave the fears of the past far behind you, and you are done with learning lessons.

The Story Of The Sun Tarot Card

The Sun is enumerated nineteen, and its energies are packed with bright possibilities, happiness, joy, vitality, and a newly positive feeling about life. Adding together the digits of Sun's number (19 = 1+9) results in ten, a symbol of union and attainment.

The Sun depicts an elated naked child, a representation of an adult who feels like a child again, free from past restraints and trauma, starting over, and energized with life. The Sun indicates the energy and enlightenment of health and a return to good feelings with no surprises or twists lurking in the distance.

It symbolizes light and clarity after a period of darkness and confusion. It projects stability and reliability in the face of the bleakest situations and also symbolizes unconditional and unbreakable love. There is nothing more powerful than the Sun, nor more welcoming than its faithful daily rising. The cloudless sky is dark blue (thought).

The Sun's ten jagged rays represent the Wheel of Fortune, a turn for the better, and the feeling that luck and destiny are on his side .The eleven straight rays suggest the Justice card, symbol of balance and a good feeling. This total of twenty-one rays represent the number of Tarot cards in the Major Arcana and all the experiences the child (Fool) will pass through. He is not done yet as he has the last two stages left to experience.

Four large sunflowers represent the suits in the Minor Arcana: swords (thought), wands (energy), cups (love) and pentacles (stability). These suits represent the growth and knowledge that he has learned along the way.

The white horse indicates a new direction and new understanding. The child guides the horse without use of his hands, a symbol of perfect control between the conscious and unconscious mind!

The orange banner represents vibrancy of action. The banner flag in the right hand represents conscious energy and his empty left hand represents the unconscious. He has learned that life is based on duality: the contrast between black and white, wrong and right. He knows that if he lives in a dark place of separation there can be no harmony, no true happiness.

The brick wall represents the blending of life's dark and light areas, protection, and a tendency to become blocked and bitter through bad experiences. The child is riding away, leaving the wall behind. Having learned from his experiences he wields the strength of the Sun in his spirit.
