Over and Over and Over...

Greetings Earthlings!
It's been a minute since I've addressed the public and let me tell you it's been hectic. I had to take a little sabbatical, even. My life is laid out for me for the next 2 months, no days off. That's right, every day I have to either go to school, my internship, or my job, not to mention do my homework. So what does that mean musically? Haha, I guess it mean's I don't get to sleep ;). On that music tip, I know everybody done already got the Drake mixtape So Far Gone (if you haven't you're a damn fool). But there's another cat beneath the radar, just put out the She's 4 Month's Ep, the Cool Weirdo himself, Peter Hadar. Get this AS SOON AS YOU CAN. I'm sick as a dog and i got ditched on Valentine's, but I'm smiling. Life is good!

Keep Hustling
Captain

P.S. keep your ears to the street for that Ice the Villain Mixtape dropping soon...

I thought Coraline was a typo....

I just came back from opening night of this absolute GEM, Coraline. I haven't seen a stop motion flick since Corpse Bride, however this film has the distinction of being the first fully stop-motion produced film in 3D. Let me tell you, the effects were well worth looking like Ray Orbison's long lost cousin for an hour and forty minutes. The premise of the story is somewhat of a modern day Alice in Wonderland, with our Coraline being a well-to-do, if not more mature for her age (remarkably voiced by Dakota Fanning...go figure) kid, yet an afterthought to her overworked parents. As expected this release was directed by Henry Selick, whose credits include James and the Giant Peach, Nightmare Before Christmas, and others. The amazing part of this film was that it was based of of a book. How the hell is that amazing Cap'n, every thing's fucking based on a book these days! Can I finish? Shit! The author of the book, British Author Neil Gaiman, actually wrote the book in 2002 while getting ideas from Selick's work. In the end, this somewhat arranged marriage feels cohesive and tight, unlike many of the adaptations playing on screen to this day. BE WARNED that this is no kids movie. If I was to see this shit as a youth, I'd probably need therapy, real talk. Definitely a winner for all you college kids and recent post-grads to go see after lighting up some of that greenery. Most importantly, however, we have a great formula film that never feels boring or cliche, simply because all of the predictable twists and turns are rather enjoyable. It's rare in this day and age of shock cinema and elitist, subtitled art fuck movies that you can find a rare gem that accomplishes the main goal of cinema: make a piece of art for art's sake that the masses will be able to enjoy. My early favorite for Best Animated Picture at next year's Academy Awards. Think it's too early? I already called Jerod Mayo a future Hall of Famer. Ahoy!

I Love Micheal Cera

If you've been following the happening's in Hollywood, you know what this is all about. (P.S. This is not serious!)

Old School: The Legend of the Great Muta

For anybody into modern wrestling, there is something you definetly need to study. The work of Keiji Mutoh is something that I feel will never be appreciated as it should be. Bloodletting is known to have a "muta scale" because of his dramatic blood loss at the hands of Hiroshi Hase. Way too innovative for his time, any fan of modern day wrestling, especially the high flying and technical mastery of ROH, should invest some time into DVD's of the man known as Great Muta. Check him out.
