Dexter Season 5 Finale Impressions
First off, if you haven’t watched season 5 of Dexter then stop reading. There will be spoilers. Instead, go read the Assassin’s Creed:Brotherhood review or the review for Bakery Story for the iPhone. Savvy mate? Alright, if you have seen then let us continue. Last night was the season finale to Dexter’s fifth season and, in my honest opinion, I found it to be rather disappointing...[Read More]
The Social Network Score
The Social Network is one of the year’s best films. The dialogue is razor sharp, the acting is top notch, and the music is visceral and unsettling. And what else can you expect when the music is done by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) and Atticus Ross (frequent NIN collaborator, member of Trent’s How To Destroy Angels, and composer The Book Of Eli score) ?
Linkin Park: Stumbling Into A Better Direction
Nu-metal is an ugly term to many, especially rock purists. Like every fad though, it had it’s time in the limelight and has since faded. Linkin Park was one of the last successful bands in the genre until they decided for better or for worse, it was time to ditch nu-metal and grow up. Well, before I continue, let me just say that I am a child of the nu-metal era and used to be a massive Link...[Read More]
A Podcast You Should Listen To
OK, I have a confession my little monsters: I don’t really listen to podcasts. I used to listen to SModcast, but I just sort of lost interest in them altogether. Hell, I even had my own podcast once, but in the end I’m just really not much of a podcast person. Enter the sultry podcast, A Slut’s Guide.
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The Fickle Audience
So let me get this straight. People love to bitch about how Hollywood sucks & how everyone is tired of the same old and how nothing original comes out, but when a movie that is dripping with originality is unleashed, what does the public do? They fuckin’ go see Vampires Suck. I hate Twilight but not enough to sit through another shitty spoof movie.
Guns!Razors!Knives! Deftones Bring It Live!
I recently had the privilege of seeing Deftones live in concert for the second time in my short life. My first ever concert was seeing Godsmack with Deftones opening for them in 2001. At that time the only songs I knew were Change (In The House Of Flies) & My Own Summer (Shove It) and that show was my gateway into the ethereal & brutal music of the band. This time I knew every song as I ...[Read More]
Evolution Of Pixar: Up & Away
Up was a film that hit me hard in the gut.By far their most mature & emotional film. The highlight was the film’s “mini movie” in the beginning known as the Married Life montage. In it we follow young Carl growing old with his wife Ellie. There are no words. Just the beautiful score & a moving montage.
Evolution Of Pixar: Robots Can Fall In Love
Wall-E. Pixar took us to ground level & beyond with A Bug’s Life. They took us to the depths of the ocean with Finding Nemo. And now we venture into space with one of the most loveable characters ever created.
Evolution Of Pixar: Dinner & Rats
Pixar’s next feature took a rather disgusting concept and made a very brilliant movie out of it. The idea of a rat cooking your food is pretty repulsive but Pixar makes it work. Ratatouille was yet another effort that enthralled audiences both young old, but this is the one I feel was more enjoyed by the older crowd.
Evolution Of Pixar: The Incredibles & Cars
And Pixar continues it’s magical streak with one of my favorite films of all time. Not just animated,in general. The Incredibles is an astonishing piece of work that it’s cue from the superhero lore (one obvious inspiration being the mighty Watchmen).
Evolution Of Pixar: Monsters & Fish Oh My!
So three highly successful films,one being the rare sequel that tops the original. Surely they must run out steam right?I mean they already resorted to a sequel so maybe they’re out ideas right? Well their next film is about the world of monsters.
Evolution Of Pixar: Bugs & More Toys
So Pixar made their first movie & made a killing at the box office. Pixar took their success with a grain of salt though & opted not to just get lazy. Their second feature is in my honest opinion, very underrated.
