Captures Seemingly Indescribable Emotion
Milan Kundara does a brilliant job capturing the complexity of relationships and the connections we have with other people. Among tacit emotions, he is able to use words to convey characters' complicated feelings in such a way that they evoke real emotion in the reader.
  
Happy Endings by Old Dominion
Happy Endings by Old Dominion
2017 | Country
The music is smarter and hotter than the lyrics on Happy Endings, though the latter have the odd genius metaphor, too. Even as an anthropological exercise in redneck seduction, this is a fascinating album — maybe not brilliant, but fascinating
Critic - Anthony Easton
Original Score: 7 out of 10

Yet another fabulous story. With the kidnapping of Jacqueline before her ceremony and Fane and the other wolves racing to save her, you experience this tales from two completely different angles and areas.

The heart warming connection that comes with their bonding and the resulting revolution of Jen's heritage creates a brilliant end before their journey to Romania.

The Matrix (1999)
The Matrix (1999)
1999 | Action, Sci-Fi
A complete game changer upon it's 1999 release, the beauty about this thick slice of action is that it can be watched on a superficial level as a brilliant Sci Fi movie, however their are much deeper themes at play here about religion and Existentialism to name a few, an entertaining a deeply absorbing thrill ride!

Firstly, that continuous shot at Dunkirk beach is fantastic. I love everything Keira Knightly is in, and her and James McAvoy are perfect together (that library scene...). The acting is brilliant, and the story is so good on film (book-not so much).
This film always makes me cry, it softens my little stone, black heart.

Better than Expected
Was surprised by this was expecting it to be a complete dross. But went by quickly enough brilliant cast. Big fan of the Nick Frost and Jaime Winstone cameos. I don't think Alicia Vikander is better than Angeline Jolie. But all in all great action flick which I'm sure will start a franchise

Mixed feelings about this film. Leonardo Di Caprio was brilliant, it was energetic and it was funny at times but on the flip side I hated the arrogance and excess of the characters and it should have been shorter. It's a true story but I ended up disappointed as Belfort did not really pay for his crimes.

I did not enjoy the film for this very reason.... tragic that it's trumpeting him as great and holding him up as hero status.

This is a must listen for Dead fans
Almost too clear, some might prefer the audience recordings available on archive.com and elsewhere. (1 more)
As mentioned, there are a LOT of great recordings available for free on the net if you don’t want the “official “ release.
Brilliant!
More to come..... for now, go listen on archive!
