Haro Haro everyone and welcome to The Review Thing, my once-monthly "I say what I watched and listened to that month and what I thought of it" post. I didn't watch many movies this month that I hadn't before, but there are indeed some worth mentioning. We'll start in the theater with 88 Minutes.
88 minutes is the story of a college professor and forensic psychiatrist who's life gets turned upside-down when he gets a phone call saying he has 88 minutes to live. Overall, I must say this movie delivered an exciting story with just the right number of plot twists. While the overall story remains pretty clean and to the point. Worth the money.
One of the other movies I saw ended up being one of the most messed up movies I have ever seen. A Clockwork Orange. There is more sexual imagery in the first part than nearly any other movie I've seen, not to mention the senseless violence and violation with large... objects... After all the lead-in violence, nudity, and bars filled with chairs and benches made out of naked female
mannequins, the story itself is actually one that has a message of sorts. It's a movie that leaves you thinking: "What. The. Hell. Was. That." then after the initial shock wears off, "That was a good movie".
I also saw Lord of War, starring a favorite of mine: Nick Cage. The story of a gun smuggler, it follows Cage's character through his illegal life, along with the effects it has on the people around him, and an interesting look at the morality of the trade. Another good movie that makes it on my favorites list.
Music wise I ran into a band called Titofelix, a small band that found themselves featured on Audiosurf Radio. In that short little stint I fell in love with two of their songs, "Anak" and "A Way to Everything" Both good songs that are definitely worth the free download at their website: http://www.titofelix.com/
Also coming in under the category of music, I bring you a band that's been around for a while but never really made it all to big. Never Heard Of It's contribution to this months review is the song Something Out There. It's an awesome story song about a family that had been torn apart by a fight and were reunited over the bed of the dying father figure. While there they stand by, ever watchful, over their dad. It's an awesome, inspiring song that I have yet to find on the internet anywhere anymore legitimate than Myspace. You can find the song Something Out There on my main Myspace page here: http://www.myspace.com/galaxia26 . I'm sure they'd love it if you clicked through and left a nice comment or two.
There goes part 1! In Saturday's post, I'll cover Anime, Webcomics, and Games.
