Recommended Music I Found in 2017

I typically love Rock music, but this year I decided to expand out a little and try some different genres of music. So I will suggest 5 songs (that have been around not just this year) that you should check out that you probably didn't hear this year (links to youtube vids will be provided).

The first song I am going to recommend is Chop Suey, By Robyn Adele Anderson. This is a Jazz cover of Chop Suey by System of a Down. It works really well as a jazz song, and I really appreciate the vocals on this track. Click here to listen.

The next song is The Curse, by Agnes Obel. This is a Folk song with some Classical inspiration, as I would describe it. The song is very relaxing, and the instrumentals are artfully preformed and the vocals are gorgeous. I admit though that this song didn't come out this year, but a few years ago. Anyways, click here to listen.

The next song is In Hell I'll Be In Good Company, by The Dead South. This Blue Grass song is well done overall, and this is coming from a person that really isn't into Blue Grass. The melody is simple yet enjoyable. Click here to listen.

Then we come to Using You, by Mars Argo. I just found this song a few days ago, and I have no freaking clue what genre I would classify this one as. It's a bit strange, and a bit of an ear worm, and once I get this one in my head, it can be a little hard to get it out. Yet I would say, that this song is worth a shot. Click here to listen.

The final song is Television Romance, by Pale Waves. This is something that I feel like I can only describe as Goth Pop music. It has memorable lyrics, and a relaxed upbeat feel that looks like it would be kinda fun to play. This might not be for everyone, but I find it to be a very well put together song. I believe they are releasing their first debut EP in January 2018, and I might do a review for it. So, click here to listen.

I hope you found at least one song that you enjoyed from here! And in 2018, I think I will add an occasional music review along with my normal movie reviews.

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi...

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review  Had To Think About This One A Bit If you haven't noticed, I'm a fan of Penny Dreadful . I did address my early thoughts on the new series a little while ago , and now that it's out, I thought I would give my thoughts on the first episode. For the description I'm going to quote IMDB , " Los Angeles, 1938. LAPD detective Tiago Vega and his partner, Lewis Michener, investigate a murder. While at City Hall, Tiago's activist brother Raul Vega battles with the fiery Councilman Charlton Townsend over the construction of California's first freeway. Meanwhile, Peter Craft, the head of the German-American Bun, meets Elsa, the mysterious mother of one of his patients. Sensing danger, Tiago's mother Maria pleads with Santa Muerte to protect her family as the rising tensions in the city threaten to explode." From what I've seen from other reviewers has been very mixed. And here's my two...
