Due to my nature this blog has set unkempt for the past four'ish months. I am going to attempt to fix this issue by adding an upcoming post on some albums I have been listening too lately. I will also be modifying the name of the blog as it is primarily about music and has of yet to had any posts about Film or Literature. It's not that I haven't read or watched movies lately, it's just more time consuming for me to write about the other two given my lack of time devoted. So bear with me, it'll be updated somewhat soon.

Coming Attractions - December 2009

Since I haven't been up to date on my film going I'll be reverting to something I used to do in college in one of the student groups I was in. I will check out trailers for upcoming films and make a brief'ish synopsis on each to encourage or discourage you the reader as to what to go and see. These aren't all necessarily to be released in December, but in the future I may make the attempt to make these monthly updates more relevant to the month they detail.



Made For Each Other
Dec 2nd, 2009

Although released in April of this year, Made For Each Other has just recently been Nationally released. It includes Patrick Warburton, the Masterson brothers, Bijou Phillips, and Oscar Nominee George Segal this cast alone makes the film look very entertaining for me.

The trailer tells of a husband (Chris Masterson) who has yet to consummate his marriage of 3 months, when his sister-in-law helps him with his dilemma and adds to it. Cheating aside, there's the subtle play between the characters and well timed phrasing that, for those with wit, will enjoy.

Kick Ass
April 2010

I remember finding one of the first issues of this comic by Mark Millar online prior to its wider release. I had also read Millar's Wanted shortly before and in my head I was wondering if it was being written exclusively to be released as a film. Although I thought Wanted was fun, it felt like they took the heart out of the story just to appease mainstream audiences.

I look forward to Kick-Ass because it's the average guy in a costume with nothing but a balls out attitude. The trailer sorta makes me laugh because I remembered this site that tracks Real Life Superheroes. Also, Mc Lovin' makes an appearance as Red Mist (a gun toting vigilante with a slight emo look). Should it do disservice to the comic, it should in the least be fun.



Up In The Air
Dec 2009

I enjoy him, but I'm not a huge fan of George Clooney. Sometimes his smugness just makes me want to hit him right between the eyes with a Nine-Iron. However, films like Welcome To Collinwood, Syriana, Three Kings, O Brother, Where Art Thou? and more make him just likable enough for me.

Up In The Air details a gentleman who is outsourced to fire others for a living which causes him to travel frequently for work. Over the course of the film his individualism is questioned by a trainee as he doesn't relate to others and is relatively isolated. Introduce a female lead love interest and the film's premise is complete. While it's not new ground to cover it is a different setting for it be displayed. It'd make a decent date movie, but otherweise wait till it's on cable or Netflix.
