The Blues Brothers (1980)

"The Blues Brothers was a big movie for me, because I was about 13 to 14 years old, and it was my first introduction to James Brown, my first introduction to Aretha Franklin. I knew about Murph and the Magic Tones, which was made up of Booker T and the MGs, essentially. Steve Cropper and “Duck” Dunn, the two guys in there, they were two members of Booker T and the MGs, and then the drummer, you know, he’s got one of my favorite lines in movie history; his name’s Willie Hall. There’s this great line where Willie Hall goes, “Jake, Elwood, you’re out of prison, things are lookin’ good for you. You got the money you owe us, mother f***er?” That’s Willie Hall. He actually plays at my kids’ birthday parties here in Memphis, Tennessee. But, it was a movie that just had the… I mean, my dad and I watched that, and the whole scene where the nun is just beating them up; I’ve never seen my dad laugh so hard. It’s an electrifying, fun movie, and Steven Spielberg makes a cameo at the end of it."

I disregarded all the vile comments and reviews on this movie and gave it the opportunity that it deserved given the inclusion of Tom Hardy in the cast. I should have listened to the comments and saved myself the time.

This is one of very few movies I've ever screened that I had a legitimately difficult time finishing. It was awful.

The most memorable parts of the movie all involve disassociated grunting by Capone (Hardy) and his losing control of bodily functions throughout. That's not a great thing to be remembered for, yet here we are.

The movie takes the approach of looking at Capone's life after his late life release from prison. While that premise may contain some potential, the execution here is treacherous. The filmmakers would have done better to actually try to do a genuine fact based account of the last year of the mans life rather than a fabricated corncob of delusion that we were left with.

I'm really sorry for Tom Hardy. I honestly don't feel like the end product is something that he would have signed up for given his past projects.

My name is Terra, and I’m a Psychic. My gift is my visions, and these visions are my weapon. Alongside my wolf shifter partner Kaleb, we hunt down the most dangerous criminals of all and put them behind bars.

But things are getting more complicated. My feelings for my boss are growing, my partner is more annoying than ever, and now there’s been a jailbreak. Twelve deadly prisoners are on the run after escaping from Portiside Prison, and it’s our job to chase them down. With our only lead being on a serial killing vampire, we’re headed to Darkwood, the killer’s homeland. But with our only way in through my vampire ex-boyfriend, things are more awkward than ever.

This is fast becoming one of my favourite series Terra Vane is just brilliant! I love the way these books are written. Terra once again finding herself in a tricky situation with vampires this time! The men have so many different roles for Terra and I love each one of them. She has yet to show us what she is capable of and I can't wait to see her develop.
