The Craggus (360 KP) rated Shazam! (2019) in Movies
Apr 6, 2019 (Updated Apr 6, 2019)
The Shazam! (2019) movie is the Billy Batson of the DCEU
The movie comes properly into focus when it becomes clear that thematically, the movie itself is echoing Billy Batson’s character arc. Just as SHAZAM derives his power from the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas; the energy bolts of Zeus, the courage of Achilles and the speed of Mercury, so “Shazam!” inherits potent traits from its forebears. Like “Man Of Steel”, it’s perhaps a little too fond of fight scenes featuring flying people being flung through skyscrapers. Like “Aquaman”, it suffers the curse of a conspicuously ropey special effects moment. Like “Suicide Squad”, it’s trying a little too hard with its soundtrack choices and like “Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice” it relies too heavily on YouTube clips for exposition. And just as Billy Batson has to battle his own mean-spirited, selfish and angsty urges to become the hero Shazam is meant to be, so too does “Shazam!” push back against the DCEU grimdark tropes to forge a bright new pathway to fun, adventure and a hopeful tone without sacrificing the superhero action...

CHILLFILTR (46 KP) rated Electric Light by James Bay in Music

Bad is the latest single from Electric Light, which is the latest studio album by British singer-songwriter James Bay. He took the world by storm in 2014 when his EP Let It Go debuted on the iTunes album top 10.
Since then, he has shared the stage with Ed Sheeran, performed on the Burberry runway, and toured with Hozier: his star is certainly on the rise, while his classic combination of angelic falsetto and crush-worthy good looks will continue to bring adoring new fans to his side. Produced by Dan Wilson, Bad quickly became a fan favorite after a recent US headline tour this spring. It features the melancholic soul of his powerful tenor voice, as well as a stripped-down roots vibe from the rhythm section that leaves the vulnerability intact - we are left with the painful residue of a tough situation.
Bay says of the track:
'I wanted to be honest about some of my own stories and other stories I was being pulled into. Bad is a break up song, it’s just not my break up.'

Jun 18, 2019
Mexcco is an emerging rapper from San Pedro, California. Not too long ago, he released a music video for his “Trapstar” single.
“Told her I’m a boss even though the b*tch know it. If the sh*t about money, then you know that I’m on it. Talkin’ about a pack if it’s dope I’ma roll it. I just got a pint and you know I’ma pour it.” – lyrics
‘Trapstar’ tells an interesting tale of a young guy who hustles in a trap house to make ends meet.
Apparently, he’s a very successful trap star, and his main concern is making money and plenty of it.
‘Trapstar’ will be featured on Mexcco’s upcoming debut album, entitled, “In The Trap”, available Summer 2019.
The likable tune contains an edgy street narrative, gangster raps, and melodic instrumentation flavored with a West Coast hip-hop aroma. Also, it was produced by Cypress Moreno (Shoreline Mafia’s official producer).
Mexcco has been rapping for 6 months and has no shortage of life experience to rap about.
So far, he has received a lot of industry cosigns as well as features from Shoreline Mafia, Icewear Vezzo, AD, and Mozzy.

LeftSideCut (3776 KP) rated Parasite (2019) in Movies
Aug 24, 2020
There's not a huge amount I can say about Parasite that hasn't been said already - it's pretty damn good.
Bong Joon Ho's tragicomedy is sometimes sad, sometimes hilarious, and bursting with tension when it needs to be.
The cast are excellent, especially Woo-sik Choi and So-dam Park.
The plot beats about class discrimination are the heart of Parasite, and provides the bulk of the film's entertainment, whilst still being hard hitting and grounded in unfortunate reality.
This is aided by some truly inspired cinematography, full of nice touches. An example that springs to mind is the wealthy Park family residence, sitting up high. The Kim family resides practically underground. In one scene, the Kim family descend through the city level by level during a violent storm to get back home, a motif for how the poor constantly live in the shadows of those better off. It's a shot that has stuck with me since viewing.
The screenplay is full of wit and strong character development leading to a genuinely thrilling climax that had me on the edge of my seat.
Parasite is absolutely worth your time, easily one of my top films of 2019.
