The Rock and explosions - what else do you need?
Certainly not Die Hard or The Towering Inferno; however, if you suspend your disbelief and just go along for the ride, the movie works as a gripping actioner.



Somehow The Rock manages to continually pick movies for himself that he is able to carry on his shoulders and this one is no exception. He does his job, makes you believe in his cause and hope for him to succeed.

Hope he doesn't fall!

  
AC/DC announced the death of guitarist Malcolm Young on Saturday (Nov. 18) on their Facebook page.

The rhythm guitarist and guiding force behind the bawdy hard rock band AC/DC helped create such head-banging anthems as “Highway to Hell,” ″Hells Bells” and “Back in Black.” So it's only fitting that we take a look at all the wonderful music he helped create over the years:

In memory of guitarist Malcolm Young who passed away this week, Billboard has put together the best AC/DC albums ever made.

Feed the Machine by Nickelback
Feed the Machine by Nickelback
2017 | Alternative, Metal, Rock
It seems Nickelback are going all out in order to prove they have lost those generic riffs which seemed to be their downfall. The title track “Feed the Machine” offers a hard rock, post-grunge sound and in a sense shows how the band have matured
Critic- Alexandra Bradley
Original Score: 5 out of 10

Rolling Stone's 62nd greatest album of all time
Phenomenal album, and I am so glad to have finally listened to it in its entirety. So many classic hard rock songs on here (as well as *that* one), from the aggressive pomp of Welcome to the Jungle to the aggressive pomp of Nightrain and the aggressive pomp of Mr Brownstone, it is an absolute classic.

Rolling Stone's 245th greatest album of all time
Unsettling collection of songs from one of the stars of rock and roll. While his big hits are all here, there is a jarring change in style throughout the album as it includes some of his later country music releases. Not a great listen due to its inconsistency, it is hard to see how any fans of either style would be satisfied.

"When I heard this I was just completely floored. I was like 'What the fuck is this?' [Laughs]. Radio was amazing, it was so good. Similarly to Public Enemy, I heard this album and I wanted to know how he did it – I just had no idea how. He was talking my language and speaking to me but in styles I had never heard or experienced before. I wanted to know how he did this. The whole album is fire; the beats were hard and the rhymes were hard. It banged and undoubtedly became the sound of a generation. It was almost like punk rock in sentiment, urban punk rock which is effectively what hip hop is. It didn't matter which part of the world you were from either when you listened to this. The people that got this record were all going through the same shit. The worlds might have been somewhat different, but it was the same oppressive shit and it united people."

Grizfolk is an LA- & Nashville-based outfit with roots in Sweden. Not too long ago, they released a hearty indie-rock tune, entitled, “Hurricane”.

“Can we love like a hurricane? When the storm is here it’s hard to tame. Are we lost ‘cause we took it too far. If what it is isn’t all we are, shut the lights out, leave me in the dark. It wasn’t all supposed to fall apart.” – lyrics

‘Hurricane’ tells an interesting tale of a young guy who is head-over-heels in love with his significant other.

Apparently, he compares his stormy love for his partner to the nature of a hurricane, which means what he feels is very hard to tame.

‘Hurricane’ contains a relatable storyline and pleasing vocals. Also, the song possesses guitar-driven instrumentation flavored with a groovy indie-rock aroma.

“This song is about loving someone or something as hard and as fast as you can, like you’re eventually going to lose it” – Adam Roth

Grizfolk consists of Adam Roth, Sebastian Fritze, Fredrik Eriksson, and Bill Delia.

Their ‘Hurricane’ single will be featured on their upcoming sophomore album, entitled, “Rarest of Birds”, which will be released on July 19, 2019.

"Now we come to the Rock Box, four films that I love, featuring two bands I adore and two artists that always left me cold, all in one brilliant box set: A Hard Day’s Night is Richard Lester’s 1964 gorgeous black-and-white faux-concert comedic film, of the four mop tops at the height of Beatlemania. The film ends with them beating a hasty retreat via helicopter from hordes of lovesick fans."

Hard to see past the moustache
Nice-looking and competent new version of the Agatha Christie classic, made in the traditional all-star manner. A bit hard to be gripped by the actual murder-mystery plot, but maybe that's because the twist in this story is so famous it barely qualifies as such any more.

Often looks more like a commercial for a luxury railway touring holiday than an actual thriller, but I suppose the production values are part of the appeal of this sort of film. Ken Branagh is arguably just a little bit hammy as a version of Poirot who appears to have some form of ASD, but he has a certain moral authority. Probably won't rock your world but passes the time nicely enough.
