Calum (17 KP) rated Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny (2006) in Movies

Jul 10, 2018

Catchy music/songs (3 more)

Good range of characters

Fun special effects

That museum scene

Story drags a little bit (2 more)

Somewhat predictable

Range of locations aren't very exciting

Great musical, okay everything else

Back in the summer of 2007 I was at a friends house. I was 10 years old and did not have much previous experience of music but decided to watch this. Looking back, I was probably a little too young for the language and adult themes but I can safely say that this movie single handedly got me into music. Even to this day I could recite every song word for word.

Aside from the amazing range of songs, it is quite a simple musical comedy. There are a good few funny moments but also a lot of jokes that just fall flat.. Let's be honest though, if you're a fan of Tenacious D, you aren't here for the comedy but for the music which I have to say again is simply brilliant! As long as you aren't too easily offended by some of the more vulgar scenes, this is a must watch!

Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Denial in Paradise by courtship in Music

Jun 18, 2019

courtship. (Eli Hirsch and Micah Gordon) is an indie-pop duo based in Los Angeles, California. Not too long ago, they released a groovy beach tune, entitled, “Guy Stuff”.

“Every single night, such a deep desire just to be inside something. It’s guy stuff. There’s violence in our heart. Soo tough.” – lyrics

‘Guy Stuff’ is a tongue-in-cheek ode to the human nature engrained in men.

The likable tune contains a relatable storyline, pleasing vocals, and light-hearted instrumentation flavored with a punchy piano which plays throughout the track.

Also, the song possesses catchy oohs and aahs which radiates an eclectic, disco feel.

courtship.’s musical inspirations while growing up include ELO, Daft Punk, and Burt Bacharach.

After a year on the road with bands such as Passion Pit, The Wombats, and Weezer, the bubbly duo went back into the studio to create their sophomore album, entitled, “The Art of Breaking Hearts”.

The project follows their highly successful “Denial in Paradise” album, which has amassed over 9M streams thanks to tracks such as “Nice Guy” and “Tell Me Tell Me”.

"I got this in sixth grade. First of all, the artwork, with those two mannequins sitting at a table, was so weird. That by itself puts it into a class of its own, because most of the other records in my collection just had pictures of pop stars. The songwriting was so beautiful and so simple and so strong, but I was also really compelled by Alison Moyet's voice. Still to this day, I generally don't like chick singers – their high squeaky voices irritate me! But Alison Moyet, sort of like Laurie Anderson, had this really beautiful, growly, rough, bluesy, believable voice. When she sang, I just bought every second of it. I believed her. And the tracks are catchy as all get out. 'In My Room' is one of my favourite songs of all time – the band and I are working on a cover of it. I'm tracing back the genealogy of my new record, and it's in those early Yazoo records, along with Soft Cell and The Cars... what they were able to do with a couple of synthesisers and really simple chord changes, great melodies and believable delivery."

LeftSideCut (3776 KP) rated The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) in Movies

Dec 21, 2020

I've reviewed a few musicals here and there, and always feel I need to make a comment about how I don't really like musicals in general... The Rocky Horror Picture Show is of course a huge tight wearing exception to this stubborn rule of thumb I have.

TRHPS is just a blast from start to finish. Richard O'brien's song writing is top notch - it's clever, catchy, cheesy when it needs to be, funny, and classy.
Pretty much every character is iconic, none more so than Tim Curry's Frank-N-Furter, easily the most sympathetic, enthralling, occasionally psychopathic mad transvestite scientist to ever grace a cinema screen - definitely in my top 10 movie characters of all time.
Beneath all of the absurdity is a solid narrative, that is equal parts weird and tragic, and manages to meld together B-Movie schlock, Universal Monsters vibes, dark comedy, rock n' roll, and cheesy horror, and does it all phenomenally well. It's a joy to watch all these years later.

Rocky Horror was ahead of its time in many ways, and is the ultimate cult movie. It's a damn masterpiece.
