Covers, connection and reanimation !

Hey there !

Quick post to tell you that this blog still lives and rocks.
Right now, I have unfortunately no time left to write a complete article or a review that would blow your mind. (I have high hopes). BUT ! Leaving this blog to rot would be unfair and quite a pity (I think).

So, now, I'm only going to promote some songs.

3 songs actually.

The first one comes from the game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is a cover made by a talented new artist with the pseudonym of Malukah.

Let's be honest, she did a great job out of it. Personnly, I prefer this one considering I played on the stormcloacks side, but all her songs are very well done. Here's a link to her blog where you can listen and download for free her covers. Go make a quick stop, I think it's worth your time.

Also, her youtube channel is this one:

For the second one, it's a little bit funny. You see, among the songs Malukah made, she covered "The Dragonborn comes". Then, another artist (Wolfgang) decided to add his voice to her part, making in the end a nice duet. Which is the following video:

But then, I stumbled unto another song in youtube. It looked like this action went into a crescendo and again, another person (a russian girl) decided to add also her part to the previous duet!
So, the final song can be listened below;

I think that it doesn't change much in the voices. (But I'm also quite tired, so, may be I'm wrong)
What I appreciate though here, it's the piano Arysta added. With the guitar, it gives a really nice feeling!


And now, the last song, (wich is also a cover), is entitled Clint Eastwood, and is originally from Gorillaz (first video below).

 But this week end, a friend of mine made me listen to this cover that two french guys, named
Naosol and Waxx, did, and it gives again a very nice result !! Quite country/folky style that quite suits the song I think.

So, I really advise you to listen, and well, enjoy the music !




Oh and damn, I go listen to it again.

Rock and fights !

Hi there !

First, sorry for the long absence, but I had some exams I needed to prepare so.....I put my blog to sleep the past days. But I'm back ! And this time, with a rocky movie !

Wait...I think my previous sentence could be misunderstood. Not a movie from the vary famous Stallone's saga, but a movie with a rock band in it. Even though it's not really the main subject.

I'm talking about Scott Pilgrim vs the world !

Now, this movie was based on the comic book "Scott Pilgrim". It tells the story of a young kid, Scott, who plays in band as a bassist and he likes to avoid problems. He is dating a girl, but suddenly, he meets THE girl. But, in order to date her, he has to defeat her 7 evil exes.

Ok, I'm aware of the fact that my previous sentence may seem a little weird. So, to describe this movie, I'm going to make an image.

Take a videogame, fighting type (Street Fighter), transform it into a movie, insert a plot, add a lot of comedy and some really good actors, all that served with a really good director, and then you'll have Scott Pilgrim.

I'm not kidding about the videogame/geeky part. Here is an exemple:

Do not worry though. Like the movie Paul, you don't need to be a geek, or a person who likes video games, to like this movie. As I said in the recipe, it's full of humour, and some really good actors that are very well in character.

In the end, it's another great comedy. Little romance in it, but it's not the purpose of the movie.

What's the purpose you say ? Well...like in any other comedy. To have a laugh and a good time. And this movie does the trick.


Here's the trailer.

Enjoy !

Two men, one forest, and some dumb college kids.

Hi there !

Today, this post will deal about the movie: Tucker and Dale vs Evil

Although this title would make you think I'm going to talk about a horror movie (it's almost the case), this motion picture is in fact a parody of the slasher types of movies.

It talks about two really nice guys,  Tucker and Dale played by Alan Tudyk and Tyler Labine (very good in their role) who bought a small vacation house in a forest.

But ! (Of course, there is a "but") But on the road, they meet some very dumb college kids that establish themselves near the house. After a little quid pro quo, the kids think Tucker and Dale are two serial killers that abducted one of their friend. And then, the massacre will begin.

  

Don't get me wrong there, there is some blood in the movie. Definitely. Because first, it's a parody of a genre that establish itself on the horror one. But......it's so hilarious...I mean, I'm not a terrible person, nor a potential serial-killer on the loose, but the kids are really idiots, and the accidents are so well placed, you can't but at least facepalm each time one of the kids die. Because in the end, there will be a bloody massacre.

So the question here is, what seperates this parody of the other ones ? Why am I talking about this one and not a more famous one ?

Well, because this one is recent and very well done. The change of point of view makes us aware of how one side see the other, of how the situation and the different prejudices are built, and how the two sides will destroy themselves until one of them will be left.

Secondly, the terms and lines employed in the movie just push us to laugh. I have to admit I had a really a hard time not laughing when the characters would talk using the word "hillibilly" or some lines will stay in my head. "I should have known that if a guy liked me talked to a girl like you, people would die".....In the end the script really push he different actors, and it rewards them: they are all very good in their role.


So, if you're on a friend night and you want to have a laugh and see a movie, go for this one !
If you're on your own, but still want to have a nice night, go for this one !
If you're with your girlfriend who loves Twilight and think that Edward is a true vampire, make the decent choice. Leave her, and go see that movie to find some confort.
If she is really hot, don't do what I said in the previous sentence and go see Twilight (try to stay awake though, or you'll miss all the fun. And I'm not talking about the movie). And in a few years, when she'll have grown a little, watch this movie.
If she still loves Twilight then though, leave her. Being hot has its limits.
