LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Death Race (2008) in Movies
Mar 31, 2021
In Death Race, a loose remake (sort of prequel?) to 1975's Death Race 2000, our lord and saviour Paul W.S. Anderson takes all of the things that made his Resident Evil films so mind numbingly shit, and applies them to a car racing movie. You know the drill - seizure inducing quick edits, with a liberal smattering of slow-mo for good measure, plenty of quippy douchebags, and the odd explosion of invasive "cool" guitar riffs.
However - it actually kind of works with the plot template and Death Race is easily one of Anderson's better films.
Jason Statham being in the driver's seat is always going to be a plus. He's being so very Statham as per, but if it ain't broke and all that. I can always appreciate the likes of Joan Allen and Ian McShane, and the action and story is well paced to ensure that it's entertaining as hell from start to finish.
Death Race is the epitome of fast food cinema. It's hot trash, but it's a pretty good time all things considered. A solid 6 angry Stathams out of 10.

Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Wake Up With You - Single by Pugglefox in Music
Jun 25, 2019
Pugglefox is a trio of funkin’ jazz punks from Pittsburgh, PA. Not too long ago, they released a groovy indie-rock tune, entitled, “Wake Up With You”.
“I love the days when I wake up with you. Nowhere to be, and nothing to do. Wake up and show me the sun in your eyes. Oh, what a beautiful surprise. Come take a break, you’ve been working hard. I read the face on my birthday card. Kiss me in pink sheets and pain floats away. I’ll buy you flowers today. Let’s go, woo!” – lyrics
‘Wake Up With You’ tells an interesting tale of a young guy who cherishes the sensual moments shared with his significant other.
The likable tune contains a relatable storyline, pleasing vocals, and vibey instrumentation flavored with indie-rock and alternatives elements.
“‘Wake Up With You’ is about the sacred moments shared with a lover in the early mornings when all other life commitments sink away. A feeling that gets harder and harder to achieve in the fast-paced, modern world.” – Pugglefox
Pugglefox consists of Evan Isaac (keys, guitar, vocals, synth, percussion), Jordan Kaye (bass, background vocals), and Mike Mills (drums, congas).
