LoganCrews (2861 KP) rated We Summon the Darkness (2019) in Movies
Jan 5, 2021
This is fun but there's no reason it shouldn't be gorier, crazier, more inventive, and/or more insightful given the film's insanely clever choice to frame a horror/slasher flick through the lens of religious sects vs. metal culture in the 80s - but I digress, perfectly serviceable fluff trash as it stands. Daddario is awesome in it, and I just can't get enough of Knoxville as a deliciously fire-and-brimstone pastor. I at least appreciate the formality - I'm glad this wasn't an obnoxiously meta "hey, remember this?" nostalgia soundboard like droves of films or shows detrimentally feel the need to become whenever they're set in the 80s now. But at the same time, there's so much potential for super bombastic kills and nuanced commentary that never was, and in their place it just tends to lumber for no real reason. Otherwise entertaining solely on principle, with another dependably cool score from Timothy Williams keeping things entertaining. And yes the twist is as righteous as everyone says. Not going to shake a stick at the amount of blood, enjoyment, and amped-up performances this does end up delivering - it's a decent little throwback slasher on its own - but God could you imagine if like Adam Wingard had made this? Holy hell what a picture that would have been.

LeftSideCut (3778 KP) rated Furious 7 (2015) in Movies
Jun 12, 2021
With each passing film in this franchise, I find myself asking more and more "how did it get to this point?" We're certainly a long way from this franchise's humble (?) beginnings. There were multiple points during Furious 7 where I was audibly laughing at how ridiculous some of the action scenes are. Do you like films about street racing? Well fuck you, this film is about sky diving cars out of cargo planes, and then through multiple sky scrapers. Do you like films that accurately portray the mechanics of how vehicles work? Well fuck off, here's Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson flexing his muscles to crack open an arm cast he has on before shooting down a helicopter with a massive gatling gun he wrenched off a military drone. Do you like happy-go-lucky underdog characters that work their way to the top by showing off their drifting skills? Well shut the fuck up, here's Vin Diesel and Jason Statham smacking the shit out of eachother with metal sticks on top of a collapsing building. This series has gone completely off the rails, and I love it.
On a serious note, this film deals with the death of Paul Walker, and pays tribute to him in a very well done and tasteful manner. Massive props for that. Did I she's a tear during a Fast & Furious movie? Yes, yes I did.

Matthew Krueger (10051 KP) rated Creepshow (1982) in Movies
Sep 27, 2019
Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark
Creepshow- is a very great movie, with its five short stories that are really horrorfyed and terrorfyed. Each one of them are scary.
The Plot: A compendium of five short but terrifying tales contained within a single full-length feature, this film conjures scares from traditional bogeymen and portents of doom. In one story, a monster escapes from its holding cell. Another focuses on a husband (Leslie Nielsen) with a creative way of getting back at his cheating wife. Other stories concern a rural man (Stephen King) and a visitor from outer space, and a homeowner (E.G. Marshall) with huge bug problems and a boozing corpse.
The film consists of five short stories: "Father's Day", "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill", "Something to Tide You Over", "The Crate" and "They're Creeping Up on You!" Two of these stories were adapted from King's short stories, with the film bookended by prologue and epilogue scenes featuring a young boy named Billy (played by King's son, Joe), who is punished by his father for reading horror comics.
The film was adapted into an actual comic book of the same name soon after the film's release, illustrated by Bernie Wrightson, (of Heavy Metal and Warren magazines fame), an artist fittingly influenced by the 1950s E.C. Comics.
It is a very great movie and i would highly reccordmend it.

Paul Smedley (141 KP) rated Attention Attention by Shinedown in Music
May 5, 2018
They’re back!
Well! The Shinedown guys are back with another rip roaring album that doesn’t fail to please.
It’s been long awaited since the last album, Threat to Survival and it does not disappoint.
It’s got that recognisable Shinedown stamp on it so as soon as you hear the riffs and vocals, there’s no denying who it is.
The songs are fuelled by a rebellion feel and motivating you to stand up against what’s holding you back. It is perfect for the gym to keep pushing you.
My favourite track on it is Human Radio so far although it is quite hard to pick a favourite.
It’s good to see the album at the front of my local HMV too as the music I tend to buy is hidden away deep within the shelves of the metal/alt rock section with no deserved place of its own.
If you haven’t listened to any Shinedown then I recommend you check them out. There are quite a few albums to listen to. Sound of Madness would be a good starting point although feel free to start with Attention Attention and work backwards as you will find a vein of familiarity with the songs that everyone can relate to.
An epic album from an epic band. Been to see them six times live and one of the best bands I’ve seen performing. Their energy is relentless and the engagement with the crowd is awe inspiring.
Welcome back, Shinedown!!!!

Kevin Wilson (179 KP) rated the PlayStation 4 version of Saints Row IV: Re-Elected in Video Games
Jul 9, 2018
Fun gameplay (2 more)
Very funny moments
So many references
Repetitive (1 more)
Some of the challenges are annoying
Purely fun....superpowers galore!!!
So I have just completed this game and I found it to be a ton of fun.
I mean, come on, you get superpowers. How can it not be fun. I do feel however that these have made it so cars are pretty much obselete. What's the point if you can super sprint or jump over tall buildings?
The map is descent sized and there are many things you can do but these get too repetitive after a while. Personally its the story and side missions especially where it excels.
It feels like they make fun of themselves and video games in general. You get a ton of references especially from the matrix and a mission where they are solely making fun of things like call of duty and metal gear solid. They are not subtle and I feel they have finally found their stride.
They have embraced cheesiness and craziness.....dildo bat anyone? A dubstep gun that makes everyone dance to death? Go on then
Don't go into this expecting a serious game. The customisation can go as crazy as you want, it pulls no punches. The dlc packs include are insane and I have big expectations for the future.
It's not the greatest game I've ever played by far but it's so much fun to just kick back and switch your mind off for a few hours.

Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Pulled Up - Single by LOLO BX in Music
Jun 18, 2019
LOLO BX (Brett Foran) is a bass producer and graphic artist from Bathurst, Australia. Not too long ago, he released an 8-bit animation video for his “Pulled Up” single featuring Brooklyn-based rapper Yuneer Gainz.
“Gucci bandana like I’m 2 Chainz. Flexing and finessing I got two ways. Recording or touring I got two ways for the bands to keep on coming. That’s why today I just pulled up in that Bentley Bentayga.” – lyrics
The 8-bit music video finds an animated LOLO BX and Yuneer Gainz on an adventure inside a video game. Also, they cruise inside their brand-new Bentley down graffiti-plagued blocks.
The audiovisual showcases LOLO’s artistic vision and skill as a graphic artist. His creative flair extends beyond the music world as he creates an immersive experience for the audience across different platforms.
‘Pulled Up’ contains a prosperous narrative, harmonious rap vocals, and bass-heavy instrumentation flavored with electronic, trap, and hip-hop elements.
LOLO BX grew up on hip-hop, punk, and metal. He breathes music and has spent a good portion of his life creating it in one form or another.
With online plays in the hundreds of thousands, he continues to make waves both locally and internationally with his enriched cocktail blend of melodic bass music.
Also, he has taken on remix duties for label powerhouses such as Mad Decent, Ministry of Sound, and the prestigious Aussie crew Sweat It Out.
