I have this one golden rule I live by in life. You never mess with perfection. That’s when I go to Chuy’s here in Round Rock or Austin, TX I never deviate from the plate that consistently puts a smile on my face, chicken soft tacos with double Mexican rice. Same goes for press releases. When a tagline comes around it’s just so perfect that there are really no other words to describe the product as intricately as it does, then by golly it’s almost your civic duty to recycle that line. So I hope now with the following three sentences you can understand why I must abide by my golden rule in life because there’s no better way to say this. In fact, let’s start a new paragraph for this little, but so important tidbit of information. Continue reading ‘The Walking Dead: The Complete Fifth Season (Blu-ray Review)’

Anyone that knows me well understands that my love for the 90’s grunge band Nirvana is infinite. It literally knows no boundaries. Equally so I would gladly roam this Earth on my hands and my knees wiping up every blood, sweat and tear Kurt Cobain ever shed, that is if he wasn’t taken away from us so tragically young. You all know the truth right? He was murdered! Blasphemy you say? The proof is in the pudding! LOL. However, I digress. That’s not what we are here to discuss today. We’re here to celebrate the life and times of Kurt Cobain, his band Nirvana and the legacy they left behind with the remastered re-release of Nirvana’s greatest hits album so to speak. I can’t believe it’s been over ten years for this one. It seems like only yesterday I was hearing “You Know You’re Right” on the radio for the very first time. Ah…memories.

There’s a chase sequence towards the end of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. which basically has the two leads simply driving up a hill. Not a whole lot actually happens, but it has tremendous energy, accompanied by a fantastic score by Daniel Pemberton. Which is the best way to describe the film as a whole. The story is fairly unremarkable, it’s simple, but it’s a hell of a great time. The dialogue is quick and witty, the actors all have winning chemistry, the editing is crisp, the cinematography is gorgeous, and, again, the score is splendid (really! it’s so toe-tappingly brilliant).
