The 80's Were The Best

In Search of Darkness- is a excellent horror documentary that goes through the 80's and takes about horror movies that were released each year and how their impacted today's horror. In this 4hr and 30min documentary it takes its time which each year and the movies that their talked about. I got to mention the interviews. Horror Icons like: Tom Atkins, John Carpenter, Doug Bradley, Jeffrey Combs, Joe Dante, Kane Hodder, Tom Holland, Heather Langenkamp, Don Mancini, Bill Moseley and more. I love the interviews and the movies that their talk about, their have the love for them, even though some were bad their still liked them. Thanks to these horror movies we have these modern horror movies. The 80's inspered these modern horror films. And you can tell by just watching a mordern horror film. The 80's were the best times for horror films. Their was so much that came out in 80's. I highly recordmend watching this documentary.

Just like the first movie, it starts with Anna and Elsa as children. Their father tells them a story about when he was a young boy and how he became king after an attack on an enchanted forest where he lived. Fast forward to the present day and Elsa keeps hearing the same singing voice her dad heard when he was saved as a boy, this leads her to awakening the enchanted forest spirits and arandale has to be evacuated. In order to save arandale Elsa, Anna, Olaf, kristoff and Sven must go to the forest and find the voice.
Once again Disney have done it again and created a movie with an excellent storyline, lots of humour, plenty of emotion (tissues most definitely needed), amazing visuals and memorable songs such as 'into the unknown' with Idina Menzels powerful voice.
The ending I wasn't expecting, but when you think of the circumstances and listen to the lyrics of Elsas songs, it finally gave Elsa her happy ending that she so craved throughout both movies.

Adventurous album taking on the uplifting but also brutality of reality and it's every day themes.

A new (different) album from Coldplay, which is definitely revealing their experimentation. The band take on heavy themes of love, war, racism, faith, gun control, friendship, climate change, police brutality and other every day themes in life. It is a double album consisting of 'Sunrise' and 'Sunset', which reveals the difference between the every day highs and lows of the above mentioned themes.

The opening of 'Sunrise' is set beautifully with string arrangements, with the lead violinist doing an excellent job of playing uplifting but also emotional tones to set the mood for the themes. Good versus bad, happy versus sad.

Coldplay never venture far from meeting with Eastern and Western sounds to encourage the acceptance of different religions and ethnicities.

'Sunset' is accompanied with loungey rhythm and blues tones which compliment the themes and meaningful lyrics.

However I can't help but note that I feel some depth is missing to convey their messages.
