When I think of Reznor/Ross lately, I’m reminded of “In Motion” from their Academy Award winning score for The Social Network, the dark piano tones in “Hypomania” from The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, or the slow building craziness of “Technically, Missing” from the Gone Girl…
“Another Nine Inch Nails song, Lenny?”, you might ask. “Yes, another Nine Inch Nails song.”, I’ll probably reply. Call it an addiction. I stumbled upon a live version of Sanctified (off of 1989’s Pretty Hate Machine) with an absolutely fantastic bassline, thanks to Pino Palladino…
Late in July, I flew out to California to visit the San Diego Comic Con. I snapped a few photos along the way.
Tonight’s episode of Game of Thrones, “Beyond the Wall” was amazing. For a season that’s only 7 episodes long, they’ve managed to really tie up a number of loose ends. Note that what I’m sharing here is a spoiler, so if you haven’t watched the…
“Tell me, what do you know about Wakanda?” The first teaser for Marvel’s Black Panther, directed by Ryan Coogler (Creed, Fruitvale Station) is up, giving the land of Wakanda it’s full attention. Showcased in Civil War, Wakanda holds a rich supply of Vibranium. Chadwick Boseman…
Usually, when I go to the movies, I either eat before I get there, or after the movie is done. This way, I don’t have to get up at all and miss anything. If it’s a film I’ve seen before, I’ll take the weakest part…
I try to listen to music whenever I can. It serves as the soundtrack to the things I do, be it working out at the gym (when I go), writing up something or riding on the highway. Music can take the most boring task and…
Oh, yes, it’s on!!! Has it been three years already? Matthew Vaughn’s (Layer Cake, Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class) MARV Films and 20th Century Fox has released the trailer for Kingsman: The Golden Circle. This time around, it looks like Eggsy (Taron Egerton) is out to…
On the set of the third Maze Runner film, actor Dylan O’Brien had a major motorcycle accident that put him away for some time. It was serious enough that the film was halted indefinitely until he could return. I’m happy to say that after a…
Marvel released the 2nd full trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming, which is looking pretty good. It seems that having proved himself to Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), Peter Parker (Tom Holland) has received some cool upgrades to his Spider-Man suit. While Peter appears to want to…
The short of it: + Might be Jackman and Stewart’s best turn in their roles since X-2:X-Men United. + Logan’s well written, with some good characterization, particularly among the leads. There’s a vulnerability here. + It’s brutal. Logan is the bloody version of Wolverine we…
Fox recently released the 2nd trailer for James Mangold’s Logan, and we finally get more an idea of what one of my favorite Marvel characters has to offer, with a little bloodshed. I’ve been waiting for some confirmation that the girl is actually Laura Kinney…
I woke up this morning and found out that legendary composer and Academy Award Winner Ennio Morricone has passed away at the age of 91. Unfortunately, I haven’t the knowledge to fully give Morricone the justice he deserves. He was known mostly for his scores…
