Gareth von Kallenbach (980 KP) rated The Proposal (2009) in Movies
Aug 9, 2019
To make matters worse a tenacious immigration clerk suspects the false conspiracy and threatens fines and felony charges if the bond is not truly romantic. In an effort to make their rouse seem more convincing the two not-so-in-love birds decide to visit Andrew’s family in Alaska.
Through a variety of comedic events and heart to heart discussions their relationship grows. But this new understanding of one another, and appearance of Andrew’s ex-girlfriend, threaten the marriage ploy.
While it is a cute movie the preposterous premise is the core obstacle with the film. Can anyone actually believe a person would ever fall in love with a boss so heinous that the office instant messages warnings of her arrival?
Further detracting from the film’s romantic attempts is the use of disjointed screwball comedy. These scenes, ranging from Ramone’s (Oscar Nuñez) bachelorette strip tease to Grandma Annie’s (Betty White) dancing in the wilderness, would have been more appropriate in “Animal House” than a romantic comedy.
Still the film does have some redeeming qualities; Ryan Reynolds’ bold delivery combines well with Sandra Bullock’s awkward appeal. Also the meritorious supporting cast will surely make you laugh. But if you are looking to be enchantingly swept away this is not the right film.
More funny than romantic the problematic premise makes “The Proposal” simply an OK comedy.
Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Symbolism by Caracol in Music
Jul 10, 2019
“I could be your island. Headlights in the distance reaching out in silence if you won’t tell me how the water came. How can I really get you out of it? Your heart is a flooded field. Tell me what it means. Don’t know how to get to you.” – lyrics
‘Flooded Field’ tells an interesting tale of a supportive woman who wants to comfort her significant other.
Apparently, he has built a wall, so she doesn’t know how to get to him. But she has patience, therefore, she urges him to open up so she can nurture him with love.
‘Flooded Field’ contains a relatable storyline, ear-welcoming vocals, and groovy instrumentation flavored with an electro-reggae aroma.
‘Flooded Field’ is a featured track on Caracol’s latest album, entitled, “Symbolism”.
The 11-track project sums up her past musical experiences and her beginnings as a percussionist and back-up singer in reggae bands.
Also, it highlights her work as a sound engineer in film music and her presence in the songwriting community and pop music writing camps.
Her “Symbolism” adventure began when she met producer Joey Waronker during a creative trip to Los Angeles.
After falling in love with her demos, he decided to work with her, and during the recording process, Caracol reached new heights.
Caracol was recently nominated at the Canadian Indie Awards in the Electronic Artist of the Year category.
Her music influences include Santigold, Lykke Li, Grimes, Beach House, Wild Belle, and Portishead.
