Now, this one amused me... even Wikipedia doesn't care about this movie, its entire plot summary is... "Medical students induce their own deaths to experience near-death experiences." And while that's true I feel like there's more to describe about this film than the unnecessary five heavy paragraphs I read about Home Again.



This film might be okay if you haven't seen the original... might be. But if it ain't broke don't fix it as they say.

What I would say is that there are probably sensible reasons not to watch this, if you have trouble letting go of the past and have anxiety and guilt, maybe stay at home.

Rolling Stone's 300th greatest album of all time
Great album by the grandfathers of metal. Kicking off with the coughing fit at the start of Sweet Leaf and its slow doom-laden pace. While Ozzy isn't the greatest singer, the rest of the band more than make up for it, with superb guitar and bass and fairly intricate, almost jazz-like drumming (which would become unusual for a heavy metal band). Sweet Leaf and Children of the Grave are superb, but the rest of the album is also really good and merits another listen (I usually stick to the We Sold Our Souls for Rock and Roll collection).

The original entry in 'The Fast and the Furious' franchise, this is a very different beast than it's later sequels (from around the 4th one, just called 'Fast and Furious') would become.

And, surprisingly, those later sequels are generally the better films.

I don't know, perhaps it's because I'm by no stretch of the imagination a gear head, but I do find this to be quite slow, incomprehensible, and largely missing the later hallmarks (I refer, of course, to the outlandish stunts) of those later movies, whilst also an extremely heavy debt of gratitude to the likes of 'Point Break' in the plot department.

Mid range rating - I think I would have found it more entertaining had I read the first books in the series as I was a little lost with all of the characters and all of the names being thrown around - there was a LOT of people in this book.

Overall it was alright - there were moments that were suspenseful and that was fun, there were moments that were glaringly obvious (the whodunit was not as fun as it was a wee bit obvious to me) but the surprise was cool at some moments.

I think the art aspect was cool too, I havent read many books that were heavy in that, though it was also heavy in politics and I didn't like that much.

I also didn't like the authors repetitive use of landmarks/streets/city names - using the city name repeatedly in just a few pages was excessive to me, I get you were trying to make this hometown based or saskatchewan based (believe me I'm from Saskatoon, shout out to the "small towns") but excessive use of Regina and the house address was just frustratingly annoying. There was also the reference to November 24th and plus 10.. have you lived in Saskatchewan?? it's November 22 today and it's going to be -11 feels like -18 .. and the Riders have you seen a game...........that's all I have to say about that one *snort*

"It would be easy to say I’m massively into Big Audio Dynamite - which I am - but it’s like, here’s Mick Jones, holed up in his little London studio, quietly making these records for digital download. He makes these really long songs sometimes. They’re really minimalist records. They have that kind of hi-fi, sampled guitar riff kind of aesthetic that Mick Jones is so well known for. They’re really solid records. 'The News', the opening song on this record is really great and it doesn’t really have any end. It’s like: “You know what, I’m alive and I’m really going to kick it. I got me a little song I’m going to sing.” It’s not trying to be heavy or anything: the sun is shining and everything’s groovy. He gets away with it. He gets plenty heavy in other songs. He has 11 minute songs and retells sci-fi novels! I just love those Carbon/Silicon records. He’s not shoving it down my throat or trying to have a career. He just knows how to play the guitar really fucking good and his vocals are so great. It’s not about having a great voice, it’s all what the fuck you do with it. His vocals are casual but he chooses to do that. Mick Jones is so fucking casual man. With Mick Jones there’s nuance, you either get it or you don’t."
