Woah, ok. It‘s all fun and games until that plot twist. And then it hits you straight in the guts. So this is not a film I can recommend for some light entertainment evening, but I think it‘s absolutely worth a watch, as it has such a gripping story, great acting and is masterfully filmed and edited IMHO.

Iron & Wine - Flightless Bird, American Mouth

songexploder.net/iron-and-wine

20:35

In 2002, Sam Beam’s first album as Iron & Wine was released on Sub Pop Records. He’d given them a bunch of demos, and rather than have him re-record these songs, they released the demos themselves. Since then, he’s put out five more full-length albums and been nominated for multiple Grammys.

For this episode, Sam looked back at the making of his song "Flightless Bird, American Mouth," from his 2007 album The Shepherd’s Dog. A year after that album came out, the song was used prominently in a scene in the movie Twilight, and it’s been one of the most popular Iron & Wine songs ever since. I talked to Sam at Blue Rock Artist Ranch and Studio in Wimberley, Texas, in front of a small audience. You’ll hear the original demo he recorded, and how that transformed into the final version of the song.

🎬 Friday the 13th: A New Beginning

Movie poster for “Friday the 13th: A New Beginning”.

Although a little constructed, the idea for the story is actually notthat bad. But the execution is too long, unsuspenseful, mostlyrelatively boring, and – once again – full of clichés. Sorry, Jason.

🎬 Sightseers

This is a very silly British rom-com in which a new couple go on their first camping and sightseeing trip together and he introduces her to his quirky hobby; she finds interest in it, quickly gets better than him at it - leaving him devastated. This entertained me well.

So I’m left with the pictures of a broken foot, a split lower arm and an endless series of ass-births. Puh! That was totally over-done for me. “Oh c’mon, it’s enough now”, is what I thought during the ending. If this wanted to be shocking, it achieved that! But I found it just wanted to be shocking without real substance. It detracted from the – actually pretty straight forward – message. But maybe I didn’t get all the symbolism and it was all so much deeper. This was scary, though, I give it that. And I liked quite a few other elements as well. But that extreme ending spoiled this for me somehow.
