Corpse Bride : Film Review

Corpse Bride

Recently just finished watching Corpse Bride by Tim Burton. Burton was nominated for Academy award for this stop motion animation back in 2005. The film is loosely based on a 19th century Russian-Jewish folktale version of an older Jewish story. The casting for the animation was with Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Christopher Lee and even score composer Danny Elfman. The film centers around the dark Victorian era with a couple forced for marriage to lead to income/status survival of both families. The hesitant groom practices his vows in the forest to find a surprise, death as colorful and jolly as it will ever be. Follows his heart at all wits to get back to the land of the living. A very enjoyable film for all ages with the occasional singalong. I was very impressed with the mood settings and of course the animation.

Control : Film Review

Control

Anton Corbijn's film Control is one of those films that you have to watch even if you are not a fan of Joy Division. The film was shot in a brooding black and white format that set the tone of the film to a point. The film focus was mostly on the life and fall of Ian Curtis. A very emotional man dealing with the darker parts of his life through his songs. All the characters were portrayed extremely believable with all the situations that came with the band. Sam Riley resurrected Ian Curtis to life on the screen, goosebumps arose on how real it felt watching the film with an eerie feeling. This is a film for any music lover or future cinematographers to enjoy and own. I highly reccomend Control for your viewing pleasure of a music Icon.

Video interview by uLOVEi. Was able to catch his set at the Pachanga Festival a while back and was very impressed by his fusion of Cumbia with Big Beat sounds. Very Beastie Boysish and yet an enjoyable show. Check the vid out for all the goodness.

Blur Secret Show in London last night

BLUR IS BACK

Damon and rest of the guys are back at it finally. They released a new cd and played a secret show at Rough Trade Eastside Records. Blur was the quintessential band of the 90s for England and has to be my favorite band. Many people all over the globe are going bananas about this and causeing all their large shows to be sold out. I hope they come the states soon or someone at sxsw brings them here again. I've included some of the videos from the show. I can only imagine how amazing it must have been.
