PILOTPRIEST - Body Double (or Daft Punk? :S)


There was some controversy over whether or not this song for the soundtrack to 'TRON: Legacy' was by Daft Punk or Canadian Dj PilotPriest. It was uploaded under both names. Daft's title being 'The Crash'. Regardless it's a great track heavily influenced by Punk's sound (see 'alive').

And now a quote from Myannoyances...

''I've noticed how people decided to shorten christmas with an 'X'. I'm wondering if we're aloud do that with the actual name. You have to admit 'Jesus X'? That sounds pretty awesome. If Jesus X made a religion I would totally follow it and lets be honest so would you! because nobody messes with Jesus X.....''Let he without sin FIRE THE FIRST LASER!'.I'm thinking this needs a theme song,you know, something catchy like...'Go go Jesus X.. He's dying for your sins and messing your stuff up!'..yeah its going to take some time but we'll make it work...''

I actually laughed out loud @ this. Think about it though, the mans got a point..:D

Brothers: Review



So, I'm just back from seeing Jim Sheridan's new war drama Brothers. Its got a solid turnout w/regards to its cast. Starring Jake gyllenhaal Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire. The story itself is relatively realistic,especially in modern america i would imagine.Maguire's character returns from war in afghanistan after being reported as dead. While he's gone Gyllenhaal steps in to take the male role in the family. Obviously this isn't commonplace but Maguire's reaction to the reality of war and his dealing with what he witnessed during his time in service is very believable. The film itself has a great script with regard to proportion and balance. In my opinion ,the switch from comedy to drama to romance fits like its all natural. There are some great performances to be seen in this picture. Portman and gyllenhaal give very strong performances as the wife and brother of Maguires character. Their reactions seem very realistic as anyone would to the situation they find themselves in. However, the standout performance to me was without a doubt Maguire. The best example of his performance can be seen in the penultimate scene of the film. In this scene he finally has a breakdown  after his return from war. His acting in this scene is top class and I now fully understand his nomination for the golden globes(which he sadly didn't win). But I am glad to see he got recognition for his playing of this character. Overall , Brothers is definitely worth seeing and I cant see how anyone wouldn't agree after seeing it.

AVATAR: Highest Grossing Movie of All Time




James Cameron's Sci-fi/Fantasy Epic Avatar has beaten box office records . The film has so far made a stunning 1.84 Billion dollar worldwide intake. This comes five weeks after it's release. Cameron held the top spot for the last thirteen years with his fictional romantic tale 'Titanic' loosely based on the events of the 1912 tragedy which made little over 1.8 billion. But how did he achieve this success? There isn't anything really original about the story (see fern gully/Dances with wolves).3D has been around since the 1960's. Perhaps its the reputation his career has given him?or his pioneering the new age of cinema to its audience very tastefully by having a balance between the story/spectacle. I can see this being as big as Star Wars in pop culture. Avatar weddings anyone? His vision has captivated audiences the world over,allowing them to escape to a magical world of tremendous beauty that is Pandora. However he has managed to be so successful, Its is obvious that people have enjoyed it so much they have gone numerous times(Including myself :P). Avatar is still playing in cinemas and I assume it will be playing throughout February . If anyone has not seen this yet or a 3D movie for that matter what are you waiting for?





Miike Snow : Underated?


Miike Snow are a swedish electro/Indy Pop band which first formed in 2007. The band's name itself comes from the famed Japanese director Takashi Miike. Their sound is very unique mixing electro melody's with classical piano to get a great original sound. Miike's live gigs are a spectacle worth the price of the ticket. I was fortunate enough to see them live last year. Only for my seeing them coincidentally at a digitalism concert ,in association with heineken green spheres, I would never have heard their music. Its a shame they aren't as big in the industry as they deserve. The self titled debut album 'Miike Snow' is available now and can be purchased on Itunes or in retail. Nearly every song is worth a listen but if you want to get a real taste of their sound I reccomend you give the following songs a chance...

-Animal
-Black and Blue
-Plastic Jungle
-Silvia
-Burial

The video for their song Animal Is posted below ...

The Book Of Eli : Review (Short)



The Book of Eli is the new film by the Hughes Brothers, Starring Denzel washington, Mila Kunis and Gary Oldman. The film itself revolves around Denzel's character traveling to the west of America thirty years after an apocalyptic event. The end is coming/post apocolypse plot is being thrown around a lot lately (2012,The Road), but does Book of Eli do these plots justice?. Having seen the film, I thought it was very well executed/directed spare a few obvious cheats such as some of the fight scenes ,notably the first, where it was shot in the shadows under a bridge so as not to show Denzel's stunt double. Also the product placement was a bit ridiculous at some stages such as a MOTOROLA megaphone and BEATS headphones. Other than these minor distractions , I think the film was great. It has all you'd want from a film of this category(An ass kicking lead, guns and lots of fighting). My favorite element of the film was probably the twist at the end which i won't spoil for you. It's less of a twist and more of a reveal. Looking back on some of the hints dropped it was probably obvious trough the whole film . But if you don't pick up on the hints you'll definitely be surprised. The acting was great, the action was plentiful and the film itself was directed very well. The Book of Eli is in cinemas now and I highly recommend your going to see it.

Owl City - Fireflies



Heard Owl City on the radio yesterday. Glad to see they're getting recognition...

Timbaland ft. Katy Perry - If we ever meet again



Timbaland's videos are starting to look more and more like his songs were made for a film and have cut scenes from them. Not sure if this is good r bad...

Most likely new actor to play peter parker in Spiderman Reboot?



Josh Hutcherson




At least if they picked him It wouldn't be some 20 odd year old playing the part of an 18 year old. He's only turning 18 this year and is tipped to be the man for the job. Better than Rob pattinson anyway...

Hot Tub Time Machine



It's got a solid cast of comic actors (and John Cusack :P) . I'm more than likely going to go see it regardless.Timetravel FTW!

Eels - I Need a Mother



Sometimes when I listen to music ,I like to think what scene in a film would it go for. We've been doing that in college the past week. It really helps to get the mind going when writing. I think that this song is brilliant for a Drama. Maybe after some guy has lost everything?.. I only found this song yesterday. It's called ''I Need a Mother - Eels'' . It's of their new record ''End Times'' which was released on the 19th of January this year.
