Hans Zimmer just won an Academy Award for his musical score for “Dune,” and if you have seen the movie or listened to the soundtrack, you know why. Zimmer’s soundtrack for Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi novel is an otherworldly masterpiece th...

It’s their new one that just came out. It’s in constant rotation. Much easier to get into for me compared to the previous “The Violent Sleep of Reason”. The tracks on this one are so evil, which I very much like.

I’m almost sad now, that they cancelled all their gigs in Germany for the upcoming tour.

My cover of this Entombed song that never gets old.

Sound is not that great to be honest, but actually not much worse than what came out of the speaker. The signal went through the Eyemaster pedal into my overdriven Katana Mini. And I feel like that little amp/speaker can’t quite handle the amount of distortion. And also sending the backing track through there, too, certainly doesn’t help. I also haven’t figured out what the best postitioning of the little microphone is in front of the amp.

Anyhow. Great song. Easy and fun to play. Tuning is Drop-A#.

Backing track is from HumanPrey2 on YouTube. Thanks!

If a lot of scenes and the plot in general wasn’t so shocking and thelanguage not as coarse, I would say this could almost be described asbeautiful. It’s beautifully choreographed – both in a dancing kind ofway, as well as a cinematography kind of way. But it’s a choreography ofa horror trip. And the film takes you along for it.

Those monsters and the cave setting were actually really well done andit had some good moments. Unfortunately the plot and characters were notof the same quality leaving me indifferent to how this continues orends.

Very much enjoying the new Ghost! This one had me with that opening scream in Kaisarion. Much great songwriting and a great flashback to 80s hard rock and metal. This has great songs throughout and some of them keep making me smile. Especially Spillways and Griftwood, whose beginnings are Bon Jovi’s “Runaway” and Van Halen’s “Ain’t talking ‘bout love” respectively. Guitar work is so good and satisfying. And hiring Fredrik Åkesson is a great choice, as the solos are top notch, too.

I do enjoy some good Jackie Chan stunts. And this had quite a few goodones, if I’m being honest. But overall I had trouble staying motivatedto continue watching. The plot itself is mediocre, the movie is way toolong, and the jokes are almost annoyingly silly. I probably would’vewritten more favourable words if this had been a (max.) 90 minute affairinstead of the 110 it actually was.

Ok documentary. Made me want to watch even more of his movies again.

We were in a mood for Tarantino and decided to watch his debut. And itwas kind of nice to watch this right after The Hateful Eight, as Idiscovered that they share quite a few similarities.

Rewatching this after a lot of years, this was a great refresher. It’sstill his weakest movie, but everything else but a waste of time.Especially enjoyed Harvey Keitel’s performance. And that credit-scoreCoconut song.

A Tarantino film is always a guarantee to entertain me. This one mightbe not have a satisfying ending as his other movies, but nevertheless,it’s great. Love Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack!

Why is it that although we are now in the millions building and creating for the Web, only very few share their knowledge and experience on their own websites? Or, in other words: Why doesn’t every one of us have a blog? Zach Leatherman asked this question on Twitter the oth...

With Ukraine so much in the news, I started listening to Jinjer again more. Hope they are well! Love this EP!

I come right out and say it: this is a lot like “The Big Lebowski” – butnot as good. The film was too long. That’s mainly because the story wastoo confusing to me to actually really care about what’s going on.

But individual scenes were very funny and enjoyable. Loved theperformances of Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin and Katherine Waterston.Actually I liked much about how the movie was done otherwise. Butunfortunately, I found the parts greater than the whole.

Oh my god. This is a weird one. After initial doubts in the beginning, Iended up really enjoying this one. Beyond the brutal and disgustingparts is this actually rather loving relationship with the “father”. Iwas constantly on the edge of my seat wondering what’s going to happennext.

Visually great. And Agathe Rousselle was amazing!

I’m sometimes reluctant to watch older movies (it’s from 1974). But Ishouldn’t have had this concerns before deciding to watch this. Justoverall great whodunnit fun, with great acting. And pretty hilarious,too.

I don’t think I have anything good to say about this one. A combinationof kitschy and advertising-like visuals and a weak story with borderlineannoying music. I’m sorry.

I didn’t expect this title to kind-of refer to my experience with it.And then I fell down the stairs to the basement when I went to see it atthe Souterrain cinema. Well, there was no blood actually, but I felt the effects of that fallfor over a week. Given that the first sce...

A little update about my mood and why I haven’t posted in a while.

The gun fight in the middle of the night is a great start into the storyabout this assassin brother duo. While their quest is already gripping,this movie is as much about relationships and life in general. And thiscombination made it special and a very enjoyable watch.

This film will hopefully also make you appreciate how much morecomfortable life is in the 21st century (in the so called “developed”world anyway).

Wow! I’m going to experiment with this a little. I already created this very post using Gitpod. With the iPad (and the Planck keyboard, of course).
