World War Z: Movie Praise

     I didn't title this a review because I am such a biased viewer, I love zombie movies.  Always have, I can't get enough zombie.
     
      That being said, World War Z is the best zombie movie i've ever seen.  Acting of course good, plot fantastic, good balance of desperation and hope, and chillingly believable scenario.  The way the Zombie disease is grounded in reality, the way society reacts, and people react, to their nightmarish reality, it draws the observer into the movie all the more.  Above all, the movie brought me to the edge of my seat, the suspense, throughout it, was unbearable.

       If you have ever enjoyed a zombie movie, watch World War Z.

9/10

       

Movie Review: Se7en

         Se7en is the best thriller I believe I've ever seen, and probably ranks among my top horror movies.  It is puzzling, and horrifying, and ends with a bang that leaves you gasping for breath.

        

        Imagine the best written Criminal Minds episode ever, directed with the mystique and subtlety David Fincher brings to movies like Fight Club, and The Game.       

     

       This movie was gritty.  Watch it.

9/10 stars.  

Bootlegged here, for those who can't afford to rent it.   

Tristam

If you were to ask me where to find new, original and unique music, I'd point you to Dubstep.  Not towards generic, club Dubstep like Skrillex who is only famous because he was the first guy to use heavy synthesizers and a bass drop, instead i'd point you to the thousands of independent Dubstep artists experimenting with sounds on their home computers.
       
        And if, from that sea of thousands, I had to pick a favorite, my choice would be Tristam.  In other musical Genres, I have no clear cut winners (I have hundreds of favorite rappers), but in his genre Tristam's music is significantly better than the second best Dubstep artist.      
     
         Tristam Is a God.

Just wait 'till he blows up.  Here are just few of his best songs that show his wide range of talent but also capture his unique 'Tristam' sound:

Flight 

Follow Me

Games

The Vortex

Hawkling Street   A little more on his serious side

Chairs   A little more on his humorous side

Movie Review: This is The End

Because I've decided to do more reviews about more of the things I indulge in, I'm going to start with the movie I saw just yesterday:  This is The End.
     
      After watching the movie, and enjoying it the whole time, and leaving a little shocked, I went home with my friend and we looked up reviews to see what other people thought of it.  The best one I found summed up the movie as "One long, hilarious sketch."  This is a perfect description.
     
      This movie, if you have any sense of humor, will have you laughing out loud throughout, it was well written and the acting was stellar (as you'd expect with phenomenal comedy cast).  However, if you were hoping to see lots of Emma Watson or Rihanna or Aziz Ansari or Kevin Hart who strategically get face time in the trailer, you will be disappointed, they have very small parts in the actual movie.  Also, although the plot had a great premise, it was INCREDIBLY predictable.  Thankfully, since it was a comedy and not a suspense movie this factor wasn't so important, but don't expect any twist endings.
       
      The ending itself was a little disappointing, preachy and a bit disturbing.  First of all it wasn't surprising, and now i'm convinced actors are the worst people on the world, and SPOILER ALERT (watching people being eaten by other people isn't that funny,although it helps connect the end of the movie to the beginning a little humorously).              

So overall rating:  eight out of ten.  I'd recommend it if you like to laugh.

Stuff

So, despite the fact that no one reads this blog, I've decided i'm going to start posting far more frequently to it, about four main things.
 
      Every Movie I watch,
      Every Book I read,
      Every Video Game I play,
      Every Talented Artist I discover.

So yeah, enjoy.

Why Pepper Potts isn't Pretty

The most frequent complaint I hear about the Iron Man movies, is that Gwyneth Paltrow isn't attractive enough to be Tony Stark's girlfriend.  Don't underestimate the value of an attractive damsel in distress and her affects on a young male audience.  Indeed, Emma Stone was probably the highlight of the new spider-man remake.

       Compared to Gwen Stacy or Lois Lane however, Pepper Potts in the Iron Man movies looks like a middle aged woman who does unhealthy amounts of yoga.  I think the fact that she is not a young supermodel however, is important to the Iron Man story and to Tony Stark's character.  Obviously the great Tony Stark has no trouble attracting beautiful women, so the fact the he decides to settle down with a more responsible and intelligent woman despite her plain appearance, is an important step in Tony's struggle to become a mature adult.

      I believe Shane Black decided to cast Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts  not just because she is a fantastic actor who can work well with Rober Downy Junior, but also because it adds a serious, believable depth to Stark's character.  That fact that the arrogant Tony Stark can fall in love with a woman who, by superhero movie standards, is ugly, goes to show that underneath the haughty demeanor Iron Man is actually a real human being who needs emotional support in a relationship.

       Oh yeah, and in general the movie was fairly good.
