Review: Ok, but too dated to be really interesting.

Dutch - A Bright Cold Day

Dutch - A Bright Cold Day

I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. After singing Stoupes grace just the other day I have to admit that he's not perfect. I've been looking forward to Dutch debutalbum ever since I first heard about it. Dutch is Stoupe and singer Liz Fullerton. I was curious as to what moody soundscapes he could come up with this time. I must say it's not very interesting at all. I don't know, but I get the feeling of a James Bond titletrack all too often actually. Yep, I'm disappointed.

Review: Don't really know what I think of this movie. Its animations is sure cool and have a nice feel to them. I also like the choice of voice actors for it, such as Vincent Gallo, Juliette Lewis and Udo Kier. The story however is really quite weak. Too bad since it had great potential.

Review: Better than expected. But I think a lot of it has to do with Benicio Del Toro. It's worth checking out I guess, but at the same time it's no loss if you don't.

Review: Yet another videogame documentary. I guess most of it's because I've seen a lot of them lately, but this one is kind of boring.

Vinnie Paz - Season of the Assassin (review)

Vinnie Paz - Season of the Assassin

I've been a fan of Jedi Mind Tricks for years. At the first glance it must seem kind of weird if you know me and now what kind of hip-hop I usually listen to. Not a lot of guns and violence there. JMT however is full of violent imagery as well as machisimo. So why do I like it so much? Well, it all comes down to the comibiantion of amazing productions by Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind and the honest straight to the point lyrics by Vinnie Paz. Vinnie also has one of my favourite voices in music.
So when I found out that Vinnie was going to release a solo album I was both happy and a bit apprehensive. I looked forward to hearing him do his thing all over again, but was not sure what to expect since Stoupe was not doing any of the productions on the album.
Season of the Assassin, who was originally called Assassin's Creed, has now leaked a couple of weeks before it's release and what do I think of it? I love it! All my fears when it comes to the productions was squashed almost immediately. Producers such as Sicknature, Madlib, Da Beatminerz and Lord Finesse have all come up with great beats that really goes well with Vinnies style. I won't get tired of Season of the Assassin anytime soon.

Rating: 3.5/5

End of May

I was going to write the promised review of Vinnie Paz album Season of the Assassin today. I might still do that, but something else has come up that actually sounds like more fun. My friend Sanna have a literary blog called Läserskan which I always find a treat to read. And now she's asked me to answer some questions regarding books and reading to be posted at her blog. So today that's what I'm going to do. That, and listen to Yelawolf, watching Video Game Invasion and reading Skinheads by John King. Life as usual that is.

Review: Finally got around to see this flick. Well worth watching, but not all that it's cranked up to be.

The Pacific

I just watched the last episode of The Pacific. I had been looking forward to this show since I first heard about it. I totally loved Band of Brothers and couldn't wait to see the pacific version. And it was good. But it never really got close to Band of Brothers. Had a lot to live up to though. And Åke, you will get both series this summer.
