Queen - Making of "A Night At The Opera"

How about that; the very first time I write something about Queen... not so suprising as I've been a fan for so long that I have been drifting the last decade, drifting to faraway lands.

But this documentary proved again; I am a Queen fan and always will be.

The documentary itself is okay; it was mostly the footage and the few gems of Freddy Mercury talking that completely gave it its glamour.

Choke

Interesting film. Not extremely good, but fun enough.

Fun to watch after reading some of Chuck Palahniuk's essays. You can see the hidden guns, the mind-method vs heart method.

It's a good example of one way of story telling.

Stereo MC's - "Breeze" (Deep Down & Dirty)

Never thought I was much fan of them. I know their name, but I cannot remember ever listening to them with pleasure. Nor with distaste. Just nothing special.

This is a rather intriguing song. Even though they use a vocoder.

Little People - "Basique" (Mickey Mouse Operation (Mumbe Jumbo/Illicut))

Pandora on a roll... seems I have listed them before, but it's catchy triphoppy with a soft bite. ahem.

Kid Loco - "Don't Forget The Fourth Track" (the Graffiti Artist (OST))

Slow hip hop in the lazy French style of Serge Gainsbourg (yes, I stole that description from Pandora).

Jack White - "Love Is Blindness"

Haven't heard this song in quite some time. Jack White's version is good, his screaming and high voice fits the craziness.

The Quiet Earth

Australian post-apocalyptic sci-fi flick in which an energy grid has "removed" all humans, yet those who were dying at the moment of happening, survived.

Okay, fun enough, but am not crazy about it. The very last scene... I don't know what they wanted to accomplish with that, but it did not make much sense.

The usualy "almost-going-crazy" apocalyptic-survivor stuff.

Ink (2009)

Impressive fantasy film in which a man has to battle his demons to get his daughter back.

Impressive visually, some gripping sound effects. The little girl plays really well.

The first 1/3rd of the film is confusing yet keeps you on the edge of your chair.
