"Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey" (2011)

 

 

Feel-good documentary about Arnel Pineda, the small-time singer who was plucked from obscurity in the Philippines thanks to the power of YouTube and landed his dream gig - new frontman for stadium rock heroes Journey. In spite of his sudden rush to fame, he still manages to remain a humble, likeable guy.

Inspiring stuff, with lots of cool concert clips of Arnel with the band jammin' some of Journey's most classic tunes. Enjoyable even if you're barely a casual Journey fan (like me).

Skyfall

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kw1UVovByw

 

The latest James Bond Movie.. While I am still not completely sold on Daniel Craig as Bond, He is NO Sean Connery, I am starting to come around to Him I guess as I liked this more than the other Bond movie I saw him in.. Casino Royale.. Which was also good... The ending to this movie I admit shocked Me a bit, and I am not sure I really like the young guy playing Q, but I did enjoy the movie.... :tumbsup:

^^ Skyfall was awesome. Craig finally made the Bond role his own. Also, best opening-credit sequence in years. The late Maurice Binder would've been proud.

"Dead End Drive-In" (1986)

In this weird-but-almost-watchable Aussie post-apocalypse flick, a hot rodder attempts to escape from a gang infested futuristic drive-in theatre that doubles as a detention center for "undesirable" youths. In other words, once you enter the Star Drive-In, you don't get out!!

 

The trailer above compares this flick to "A Clockwork Orange" and "Mad Max," which is pretty laughable. Once the pieces are set up in this movie it took for-EVER for anything to happen, though the climactic action sequence ended things on a high note.

 

My advice: Don't bother.

I'd rather watch paint dry than anything involving Statham ...

 

:yikes: Are you allowed to not like Statham movies and still call yourself a man?

Yeah that's impossible, even Chuck Norris should bow down to Statham!

Whoa! Let us not get carried away.

 

But for real, you think "Lock, Stock," "Snatch," "Mean Machine," "The Transporter," "The Italian Job," "Revolver," "The Bank Job," "The Expendables," "The Mechanic," and "Killer Elite" were all terrible, terrible films?

I don't think they are terrible at all, but I would take Chuck and all the 80's action movies over these listed. But I really do like "The Italian Job", one of my favorite heist movies ever.

A few viewings over the weekend:

 

"Death Wish V: The Face of Death" (1994)

2815.jpg

In Charles Bronson's final turn as vigilante Paul Kersey, Paul's trying to live the quiet life with a new fashion designer fiancee. Unfortunately her ex hubby is a big wig in the local mob who doesn't like Paul muscling in on "his" territory. You can pretty much write it yourself from there.
This was the only "DW" I hadn't seen, it's obviously extremely low budget (resembling a made-for-TV movie) but the violence is brutal as ever and Bronson (who was in his early 70s when he made this!!) maintains his title as America's Oldest Badass.

 

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl" (2003)

44458.jpg

First installment of the blockbuster Disney franchise introduces Johnny Depp's Capt. Jack Sparrow, a down on his luck pirate captain who gets mixed up in some supernatural nonsense involving a cursed treasure and a vengeful ghost ship crew. Action packed and entertainingly silly.

 

"Death Machine" (1994)

5554.jpg

A low budget sci fi/horror set in the "near future" of 2003 (haha) with a crazed inventor who sics his top secret pet project - a giant killer robot - on his employer's new CEO after she fires him. The so-called "Warbeast" then chases her all over the company's high tech skyscraper.
I have read a lot of rave reviews of this flick online claiming it to be some sort of undiscovered cult sci-fi classic, but I wonder if those people saw the same movie I did. This was a loud, irritating flick pieced together from bits stolen out of "Aliens," "The Terminator" and "Hardware," that gave me a screaming headache. Don't bother.

Very good acting by Gosling, a story of a delusional man that's in love with a sex doll. Kinda has similar vibe with 'I Am Sam' but 'Sam' is much better story. The message is pretty clear that the whole town is not judgmental and kind, but yeah a bit too unrealistic. Story is a bit flat so might be boring for some, but good acting by him!

"Grabbers" (2013)



In this goofy Irish horror comedy, a horde of multi-tentacled, blood sucking sea monsters invade a small island village. Fortunately the local constable (who also happens to be a raging boozehound) discovers that alcohol is poisonous to the critters. So to keep everyone safe, the whole village gets extremely drunk in the local pub while the police figure out how to stop the monster invasion. Funny stuff in the "Shaun of the Dead" mold.

    • Added Framing the Red over on the main site recently: Framing the Red discography reference list of music CDs. Heavy Harmonies Their website: Framing The Red Their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/framingtheredband Their YouTube channel: (23) Framing the Red Official Page - YouTube They have four releases, and all are quite good in my opinion. If I had to describe them, I'd say this is what Gunshine would sound like if they went in a more southern rock direction.  Here are some of my favorite tracks... Crossroads   Whiskey & Weed   Holy Water   Mississippi Hippie   Heroes   Bonnie & Clyde   Rockin' Into the Night (38 Special cover)   "Crossroads" and "Heroes" are probably my two faves.  *I will give a word of warning:  if you decide to purchase any of their discs, they are barebones releases with just the CD in a cardboard slipcase. I enjoy the music enough that that's not an issue for me though.  @lettard @KarpetRydOFunk @tts42572 @AlphaMale @Dead Planet @Mr.AOR @tobi is an animal I think all of you gentlemen should give these guys a listen and see what you think. 
    • H.E.A.T - 1000 Miles Vega - Hands In The Air The Defiants - Stay Issa - River of Love I'm at work right now so that's all I know off the top of my head but I'll look through my library for more when I get a chance.
    • Maybe anything by the Darkness
    • Wig wam - hard to be a rock n roller
    • Saw these guys first time a couple of years ago, when they were 16-17 years old, they are absolutely awesome. They have been touring for a few years now, performing their own songs, yet haven't released anything, until now. I have tickets to see them this saturday, opening for Mercenary. First single and video:  
    • I want to compile quite an extensive playlist of hard rock songs that has a key change in the end. Why? Cause I think it sounds awesome Some well known exambles are: Bon Jovi - Living On a Prayer Wig Wam - In My Dreams Danger Danger - Don't Blame it on Love H.E.A.T - Beg Beg Beg
    • My Japan copy showed up today. I was critical of the Part I album as that one just did very little for me.  Basically, I just didn't think the songs were all that catchy and/or memorable.  I played that album a handful of times trying to get into it and gave up rather quickly which was disappointing as I loved Wired.  Maybe I just had too high of expectations or something.  I know many liked that album but for me at least, that Megalomanium I album would be ranked toward the bottom of their discography. Well, after hearing this new one, I'm feeling the opposite....Here I feel like they nailed it and I'm digging this one after the first listen.  I basically couldn't wait to start it over and listen again. The first 5 songs just come out guns a blazing with catchy, hook filled songs.  Yeah, we've heard 4 of those songs as singles but I almost purposely haven't listened to those songs much so they'd still sound fresh when the album dropped.  Then the one song we hadn't heard, All I Want, is just another upbeat, catchy tune. The 2nd half though is where things probably get more interesting.  Songs like Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye are the kinds of varied balladish/mid-tempo type songs I've been wanting Eclipse to mix things up with and there's 2 of those songs here, both very well done IMO.  Then there's a couple heavier tunes like Divide & Conquer and One In A Million that sound like stuff that could've been on Bleed & Scream.  And then a couple other melodic rockers with Until the War is Over and Pieces. I also feel like this has some of the better lyrics that Eclipse has had in awhile.  I think a lot of their material recently has been just been sort of lighter subject matter, 3 minute "simplistic" romps.  I felt Part I had a lot of that which kind of contributed to it being less interesting.  Here though, it seems like some of these songs get a bit deeper and can feel more emotion in songs like Still My Hero, Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye for example.   Anyways, where Part I is among my least favorite Eclipse albums, I'd say my early impression of Part II is that it'll be among my favorite Eclipse albums. 
    • New song 'Unbreakable'.    
    • Solid hard rock album. Nothing really stood out to me, but it’s solid.
