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

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No performance fell flat. I perhaps would

The Batman Movie Review

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoƫ Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The
