Misfits Season 2!

Finally! Season 2 of the show Misfits is here! Don't miss it people!

I'm Still Here

I'm Still Here

Review: I just watch the mockumentary that chronicles a year in the life of Joaquin Phoenix life. I guess most people already know about this movie. Joaquin publicly annonunced his retirement from acting and then tried to pursue a career as a rapper. During this time we also got to witness the downfall of this man through drugs, fights and so on. In September this year the director, Casey Affleck, announced that it all was fake. And now the movie is here. The thing is, and I guess a lot of people say this after they found out, but I never really believed in the story. Sure, I truly believed that he quit acting, but the rapper thing? No way. But that is really besides the point. Is it a good movie? Well, it's interesting and well done, but at the same time it feels like a bit of a waste of time. Especially seeing it after the truth came out. But still, Joaquin is a good actor and a fascinating character so it was worth watching.

The Colour of Magic

The Colour of Magic

Review: Just like I said the other day, I was looking forward to sinking my teeth into The Colour of Magic. Now I have, and what can I say? I have a constant smile whenever I see the creations of Terry Pratchett and feel really satisfied with life. It's humour, warmth and wonderful characters and sceneries is a true treat. I only wish there was more to see now. Fortunatly Christmas is only about a month away, and then I can watch Hogfather again.

An Idiot Abroad

I wrote about the show An Idiot Abroad about a month ago. After seeing the first episode I wasn't very impressed and didn't really know if I was to see the rest of the episodes. But I must say that the show, and Karl Pilkington in particular, grew on me. And today I watch the final episode. I won't really miss it, but it was fun while it lasted.

anticon + Beans = End It All

Yes, it's true. Beans from Anti-Pop Consortium signs to anticon. 
The album End It All hits stores February 15 next year. TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe sings on one track, and Four Tet, Clark, Tobacco, Nobody, Son Lux, Interpol's Sam Fogarino, and Bumps (the drum section from Tortoise) all contribute beats to the 13-song, 33-minute album.

Looptroop Rockers - On Repeat

I very seldom listen to Looptroop Rockers nowadays. Or to be more precise, I haven't listened to them at all since they added Rockers to their name. But still, I just saw this video today. The guys wrote this song after the racists got into the Swedish Parliament less than 2 months ago. I like the song and the message, so here it is.

Going Postal Review

Going Postal

Review: I must admit that I discovered the joys of Terry Pratchett quite late in my life. But as they say, better late than never. A few years ago Sky One made an adaptation of Hogfather which I fell totally in love with. It's now a part of my yearly Christmas tradition to watch it. 2 years later, in 2008, The Colour of Magic came. It was an adaptation of the two novels The Colour of Magic and The Light Fantastic. I have totally missed that one I'm afraid. A mistake I will make up for these next couple of days. But to get back to the subject. This year the third installment in adaptations came, Going Postal. I just watched the two episodes, and I must say it's a treat. Not quite as good as The Hogfather but nevertheless a true joy to watch. I really love the magic of the Discworld and the humour of Terry Pratchett. I really look forward to sinking my teeth into The Colour of Magic now!

The Killer Inside Me

The Killer Inside Me

Review: This is an adaptation of Jim Thompsons novel of the same name. When it got released it instantly got a lot of attention due to its graphic depiction of violence, especially against women.  And it is a brutal movie, but at the same time I've seen way worse movies when it comes to that, and the violence in The Killer Inside Me never really bothers me. It's too clean in some way. And that is somehow the problem with the movie itself. The actors are doing a good job and it's a quite beautiful movie in some ways. But it never touches me, and when the movie ended I already began to forget about it.

Going Postal

The first snow of the season outside combined with violent winds. A really good reason to get cozy indoors and to watch the first episode of Terry Pratchett's Going Postal. I'll get back to you when I've seen both episodes. All I have to do now is brew me some nice hot tea.

A Second Season of The Walking Dead

Good news. AMC has just decided that there will be a 13-episode second season of The Walking Dead. I'm happy!

Cage - Captain Bumout

New video from one of last year's best albums. Talking about best albums, I've started to think about which 10 albums will represent 2010. The countdown will take place in December.

Worst Book in Ages!

Even though I'm not a fan of AC/DC this post is not really about them. I'm currently reading the book AC/DC Maximum Rock and Roll by Murray Engleheart and Arnoud Durieux. And I just have to say. This is by far the worst written book I've read in a long time! It basically Murray and Arnoud sucking AC/DCs dicks for over 500 pages. Not the least bit objectivity in this book. Every single sentence is the authors worshipping every breath of air the Australians have ever taken. It could have been a good book about a musically important band. But in the hands of these groupies every page is a pain to read!
