After weeks of bombarding myself with music I consider subpar I found something from this year that's really good. 2009 has been shaping up to be a terrible year for music. 'Boom Boom Pow' is the pinnacle of what people find cool and interesting but that song is the equivalent of being repeatedly skull fucked. Don't get me wrong the song is catchy, infectious, and everything Pop music should be, but the only question that I ask, is it a good song? A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to buy this album (and when I say buy, I went to the store and paid for it. No iTunes this time) and it's been mesmerizing. It's the equivalent of acoustic Prog. Rock. The opening track 'Since We've Been Wrong' with it's beautiful intro of near silence and synthesizers one wonders why this track hasn't been heard everywhere. 'With Twilight As My Guide' is another masterpiece Cedric Bixler-Zavala & Omar Rodriguez-Lopez are gods among men. This reminds me of why I miss At the Drive In.

Octahedron - Why It's The Most Original of 2009

Best. Frakin'. Finale. Ever.
The End of The Best Drama on Television.
*I will return with my review shortly.
Race to Witch Mountain
Is it possibly for a Disney movie to be the best thing out there right now? I dare say it is, aside from The Last House on the Left, I feel this was a pretty adequate movie. It had a story, it had action and it was downright fun. The Rock was extraordinary, and Carla Gugino reminded me that she is an actress who can perform in movies with her clothes on. I loved this movie. Although some parts were convoluted it was a welcome surprise that they left most of the science jargon to a minimum. The Rock is beginning to fit into the family friendly movie roll quite comfortably. And it doesn't bring down his street cred one bit.
Knowing
What happens when the numbers run out? I don't know I fell asleep. This was equally as horrible as The Day The Earth Stood Still, please stop making movies that star Nicholas Cage. And please no more end of the world movies in the near future, maybe hold them off until we know the end is near. Too many horrible movies this year, Oscar season I can't wait. I'm 100% confident the Star Trek wont suck, because J.J. Abrams is a GOD.
Dragonball: Evolution?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
This movie is an utter disappointment to anyone who considers themselves a fan of the original series. Quite possibly the worst movie in the world. Between this and Knowing I don't know what the hell hollywood has been thinking. A rundown, in the original series Son Goku seemed more childlike, the reluctant Antihero. In this movie he was a teenager and *gasp* going to high school. Blasphemy. I only sat through the whole thing hoping it would somehow get better, but it didn't. I wouldn't recommend my worst enemy sit through this garbage. It was Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li all over again, only worse. Please boycott this movie.
