Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Trapstar - Single by Mexcco in Music
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.

Better Off Barefoot is a duo based in Los Angeles, California. Not too long ago, they released a charming indie-pop tune, entitled, “When I Wake”.
“Hope you go to sleep now. I let myself fall away. I hear what you’re saying. How did I let you stay? I’m not holding back now. Let go of my old ways. Let go of my troubles knowing we’ll be okay.” – lyrics
‘When I Wake’ tells an interesting tale of a young woman who is optimistic about the future.
The likable tune contains a relatable storyline, soft vocals, and mellow instrumentation flavored with alternative and indie elements.
“‘When I Wake’ is about the process of finding your peace in all the chaos. Learning to let go, bouncing back, and in a new light moving into who you want to be.” – Better Off Barefoot
Better Off Barefoot met in Chicago three years ago. Since then, they’ve been making music together and perfecting their sound.
Bradley produces the music and Elle sings and writes the songs. They describe their music as a mixture of pop, indie, and electronic music.

Awix (3310 KP) rated Village of the Damned (1995) in Movies
Nov 16, 2019
Thumpingly unsubtle SF remake turns up the horror dial but doesn't seem aware that sometimes less is more. After a strange town-wide blackout, the citizens of Midwich (do they really have 'villages' in Northern California, anyway?) discover ten women have simultaneously become pregnant. They give birth to eerily similar children who seem to have psychic powers.
Released in 1995, this is very much The Midwich Cuckoos for the X Files generation, but ends up just another signpost marking the decline of John Carpenter as a film-maker worth paying attention to. The sad thing is that he really does seem familiar with both the original British film and the source novel (elements of the book missing from the 1960 film reappear here) and is obviously trying to do his best to honour them, but where John Wyndham is chillingly subtle and understated, John Carpenter is just walloping the audience with a succession of predictable set-piece 'shocks'. Reasonable CGI but overall it looks cheap and unconvincing; some reasonable performances from an interesting cast, but there's a limit to what they can do with such a duff script.

Awix (3310 KP) rated The Call Of The Wild (2020) in Movies

Rather too big-budget Jack London adaptation is long on CGI and short on grit, but remains engaging and dignified entertainment. Pampered house dog Buck is abducted from his California home and packed off to Alaska during the gold rush, slowly getting in touch with his wild side. Harrison Ford plays the main human part - there was something oddly familiar about seeing the star team up with a huge, hairy, almost totally non-verbal partner and then I remembered the Russian word for dog is sowbacca and it all made a bit more sense.
The harder edges of London's book have been sanded down considerably, and this does verge on the sentimental and cutesy in places - for one ghastly moment I thought the dogs were going to start talking to each other - and the fact it's made with a CGI dog (Terry Notary has been mo-capped) will probably put some people off. But it's solid, likeable stuff, lifted considerably by performances from Ford and Omar Sy. I still think it was madness to spend over $120 million on a film which will probably struggle to find an audience, but it has a definite charm to it.
