Movies and music: pass or fail?

In this blog I will tackle what can only be described as an atrocity. yes this movie will keep me far far away from the star wars sags for a looong time.

Blog #4 The Star Wars Holiday "Special"

Wow. Never, ever watch this. EVER. I barely made it through with the help of Riff Trax. Yes, this movie will scar you and throw lemon juice in your eyes, then throw lemon juice on your scars. I feel compelled 2 kill anything that even slightly resembles a wookie. From Chewbacca's ugly little poodle-orangutan-Pomeranian hybrid son, to his father(grandfather??), who holds the record for the longest, most disgusting lower jaw ever, sitting on the auto-jack-ulator while watching some lady with fiber glass hair do a lame dance and cheesy song. Of course it wouldn't be light day without some ugly fat guy who only knows how to button his shirt halfway up and an officer from the Empire watching one of the worst video's ever featuring one of1980's mistakes in music known as Jefferson Star ship performing with some cheap ass glowing instruments and a song that never, ever, stops playing, because it keeps going and going and going and going 'til u either fall asleep or lose your mind. Or soil yourself from such an over load of TERRIBLE film directing acting and dialogue with a side of some disgusting man who drinks stuff through his head for absolutely NO REASON. That was POINTLESS. Ya' hear me Star Wars Franchise!? YOU ARE HORRIBLE PEOPLE!!

And to pull us away from the wookies of horror for a few, precious seconds, is Luke Skywalker wearing more make-up than every untalented Disney class Pop Star ever while sporting the same look. Of course I did have that bit of hope that Han Solo would go pants-crapping insane and put every person and uh... thing out of OUR misery. But this stupid, pointless, disgusting, profusely over anticipated event takes place for all of10 seconds including Princess Laeh singing into Chewbacca's chest for 4 minutes.

My take on The worst movie since Great Expectations was put onto film: fail, Fail, FAAAAIIIL!!!

Alright, for blog Number 3 we will be talking about music.

Topic No. 3: Pinback Autumn of the Seraphs

One of my all time favorite bands. Their latest album, Autumn of the Seraphs, begins with From Nothing to Nowhere, a fast paced song with great vocals and rhythm. The next song is Barnes, with more of a back and forth sound to it with some of their best work drum-wise. Barnes is followed by Good to Sea. I just love that song. it has a great slow point at about a 1:45 into the song and then picks the tempo back up for the rest of the song. The next song on the album, How we Breath, slows things down to lead into Walters. In Walters , the song slowly grows instrument wise. More and more instruments start playing almost like an orchestra. After Walters comes Subbing for Eden at which point the music really begins to pick up again for Blue Harvest. blue harvest is a bit different for with a bit more of a rock and roll feel to it. Torch has more of the mysterious sensation that Pinback has to it in most of their songs. Bouquet has more of an electronic sound and it is all topped off with Off by 50. WOW. I thought it was a rock and roll song when I first heard the intro.

So My overall verdict for Autumn of the Seraphs: Pass

welcome to blog #2 here i will review a more recent movie:

Blog #2: Cloverfield

So in the category of movies with a slow beginning cloverfield takes the trophy and has the other movies clean it. Wow i found myself waiting for the aliens to attack them all for making me wait. They did a great job on the special effects which would have been more impressive if you could have seen them. But due to the video camera effect it became hard to follow at some points, while at other times it drew you in such as the scene in the subway when the main charecters first encounter the nasty litle bogeys. A bit overdone with the girls head exploding after they were in the quarintine zone. It was a well selected cast for a movie that wasn't put together too well. If you buy the DVD you are better off not watching the alternate endings except that in one of them you see a snippet that shows the main charecter pick up the camera, other than that the ending is the same besides the useless snipet of the tape they recorded this adventure over. The monster is pretty impressive once you finally see him though no one would have really stood still like the camera man did.

My Verdict on Cloverfield: Fail

Hello! I'm kenny welcome to my movie/music blog. Here i will give my rating on movies/music from every era, genre, etc... So i hope u enjoy

Topic No. 1: the 300

A film that essentially made you puff out your chest as you walked out of the theatre. I found myself yelling out like crazy for about half the movie from the pure adreniline that the movie brings about. The sweeping camera views combined with Tyler Bates' Compositions make the fight sequences all the more eye catching. the frantic camera work combines perfectly with transitions into bullet time for the coolest of the scenes. On the down side: The nude scenes such as throwing in Gerard Butlers Butt and the sex scene shortly after (not to mention the scene in Xerxe's tent with the humpback) . but the pennultimate sequence of leonidas before the vast legions of the persian empire takes all, as he falls to his knees among his fellow Spartan soldiers all dead for him and for a free world.

So Overall Verdict: Pass
