Goldenarrow74 (10 KP) rated Ritual de lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction in Music
Feb 24, 2018
Grunge had yet to happen and the turgid, hair metal rock scene needed something to revitalise alternative music.
The alt-rock scene that also included FNM, NIN, RHCP etc refused to be pigeonholed into just one genre.
Perry Farrell was not only a great songwriter but also a tremendous showman - Electric onstage and difficult to take your eyes off.
From the instantly accessible, MTV-friendly Been Caught Stealing’ to the slowburning ‘Three Days’ which continues to sound better with every listen, this album is a must-have for anyone into guitar music.
While it never strays into noisy guitar for
the sake of it, it rocks when it needs to but it’s during the more melodic moments that showcases Jane’s sheer magnificence.
Beatriz (138 KP) rated Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) in Movies
Dec 9, 2018
The story is about Benjamin Barker ( later known as Sweeney Todd), a barber, that had a wife and child. And he was taken away from them because this Judge fancied Benjamin’s wife. He comes back to London to see his wife again after years until he meets Mrs Lovett who tells him she poisoned herself and that Judge Turpin has his daughter as his ward. So Sweeney Todd plans his revenge with Mrs Lovett.
I’ve watched this film more than 10 times and I love it still.
The film is all in shades or browns, greys and reds and the voice choices are marvellous.
Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Great - Single by Androu in Music
Jun 17, 2019
The DIY audiovisual for ‘Great’ is simplistic in nature. Also, the footage keeps viewers entertained and strings them along via an interesting storyline.
In the video, Androu introduces us to the greats in his life by paying homage to his talented friends.
The visual serves as a reminder to surround yourself with the right kind of people. The kind that builds you up, continually inspire you and keep you grounded.
‘Great’ contains a relatable storyline, mellow rap vocals, and vibey instrumentation flavored with an indie hip-hop aroma.
Androu is a musical jack of all trades. The talented artist is a graphic designer by day with Alexander Wang and has a degree in sound art. Also, he writes, sings, produces, and designs all of his material.

Aug 10, 2019
Hercules (Tate Donovan), son of Zeus, was kidnapped as a baby by minions of Hades (James Woods) and is found and raised by mortals in a superman-esque kinda way.
Now a teenager, Hercules wants to know about his real parents. Along the way he needs to perform a rite of passage on Earth to prove himself worthy of living with the gods on Mount Olympus and dealing with his first true love With help from his plucky satyr sidekick, Philoctetes (Danny DeVito), who's along for the ride, Hercules must learn how to use his strength to become the hero he's needed to be.
This movie is very light hearted and has an array of characters you can appreciate, many vibrant colours manage to draw you in, great dialogue and banter between characters with a meaningful story.
My personal favourite Disney animation.
