Coming 2 America

Coming 2 America starring Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall

I usually don't watch sequels that are made more than 10 years after the original, but with Eddie Murphy I usually make exceptions. Also, the original Coming to America is still one of my favorite movies. So, of course, I had to check this new one out as well. And it was everything I could have hoped for and a whole lot more. 
The new movie is not great acting or a compelling storyline. It's just exactly what I expected. I get to revisit characters I fell in love with 30 years ago, and get a peek into what is happening with them now and what has taken place since I last saw them. 
I was so happy when I finished watching and I am always glad anytime I get to see James Earl Jones or John Amos acting in anything. If you saw the original, chances are you are going to like this one too. It seems familiar and has a lot of tie-ins to the original movie. Just keep an eye out for all the cameos because they are part of the movie's charm. Thank you Eddie Murphy for entertaining me and my friends for all these years!

Lens Manufacturing Techniques: Grinding, Polishing, and Coating

Lens Manufacturing Techniques: Grinding, Polishing, and Coating Lenses, the fundamental components of optical systems, are responsible for bending and focusing light to create images or correct vision. Achieving the desired optical properties in lenses necessitates a meticulous manufacturing process that involves a series of intricate techniques – grinding, polishing, and coating. Let's delve into each of these techniques in great detail to understand how they contribute to the creation of high-quality lenses. Grinding: The Foundation of Lens Shaping Grinding is the initial and crucial step in lens manufacturing, where a rough lens blank is shaped into its intended curvature and dimensions. The lens blank, usually made from optical glass, plastic, or crystals, serves as the base material that will eventually become a lens. Subtractive Precision The grinding process is a subtractive one, involving the removal of excess material from the lens blank's surface. This material remova...

The Evolution of Optical Labs: From Traditional to High-Tech

 The Evolution of Optical Labs: From Traditional to High-Tech Optical labs have come a long way since the early days of eyeglasses production. From the quaint, manual processes of old to the cutting-edge technology of today, the evolution of optical labs has been nothing short of remarkable. This transformation has not only revolutionized the eyewear industry but also significantly improved the way we correct and enhance our vision. Let's take a journey through time to explore the fascinating evolution of optical labs from traditional to high-tech. The Early Days of Optical Labs: Handcrafted Precision Centuries ago, the first optical labs were small workshops where skilled craftsmen meticulously handcrafted lenses. These artisans ground and polished lenses using rudimentary tools, creating simple lenses for the correction of nearsightedness and farsightedness. Each lens was a unique work of art, tailored to the individual's vision needs. In the 18th and 19th centuries, advancem...
