Well That Was Brutal 😳

The Bikeriders finally came out last week after being delayed and switching distributers less than a year ago. Basically the movie version of Sons Of Anarchy (but a little bit more brutal), the film centers on a motorcycle club known as the Vandals. And things get very very ugly.

The movie was great, and probably the most brutal movie I've seen all year. A good majority of these scenes were so hard to watch (physically and emotionally). Whether it's someone (mostly Austin's character Benny) taking a beating or other disturbing shenanigans. The dynamic in the club in my opinion is slightly less loving than SOA. While there is loyalty and care for one another in the club, I feel like they were slightly more reckless then SAMCRO. Not only within the club, but outside as well. The newer members in particular were kind of cruel, especially in an incident involving Jodie Comer's character Kathy. Though I will say that Tom Hardy's Johnny (the leader) is less sadistic than Clay; albeit he did make some questionable choices. There was also somewhat of an unexpected twist in the movie as well.

The acting was good. Hardy embraced his inner Marlon Brando while Austin embraced his inner James Dean (which is perfect considering he's often compared to Dean). Jodie Comer was also good. Actually, her and Austin pulled off an accent EXTREMELY well, Comer especially. I'm surprised by those two because Comer is obviously British (so braking that might not be easy) and Austin has now played with his voice and succeeded 3 times. Hardy (who also had an accent) was the best out of everybody. I found him kind of creepy but also redeemable.

I really liked this movie. But brace yourself for some messed up moments. Thanks For Reading.

Discombobulated But Good

I've always had an odd relationship with The Color Purple . I don't care enough to read the book, and some family of mine participated in a community production of the Broadway musical. I do like the original movie, but it's also EXTREMELY annoying due to some of it's subject matters. I saw the remake yesterday, and it of course centers on Celie Harris-Johnson and the struggles she's had throughout her life. The movie is all over the place in terms of it's writing, pacing, and it's music (and considering this was directed by the same idiot behind Black Is King, I am not surprised). Don't get me wrong, it wasn't terrible. But there were times in the movie where I wanted more but got less, and in the times I wanted less, I got more than I would like. A lot of songs from the musical were cut in favor of new songs that weren't so great. The songs from the musical that stayed in the movie were arranged horribly. I also felt that the plot moved pret

Top 10 Female Performances In Music Biopics

This list is of acting portrayals of female singers in movie biopics. Tv movies will be considered, but Tv shows are excluded. #10: Reese Witherspoon as June Carter Cash- Walk The Line Witherspoon's performance as June Carter Cash has had varied reception among critics and audiences, and that's understandable. Several people found her very annoying and disagreed with her Oscar win. I wouldn't say I agree with her win, but I don't really care enough to disagree either. Overall I thought she did a relatively good job as June Carter. A good job, not a great job (she's at the bottom of this list for a reason). The problem isn't even Witherspoon, it's just that other actresses on this list could easily outshine her. It also doesn't help that Witherspoon is the only actress on this list whose character is not the center of the movie as "Walk The Line" obviously focuses on Johnny Cash. While that does give Witherspoon a disadvantage, for me it was

Top 10 Signature Songs

You know how an artists has that one song that pretty much defines their career and who they are as an artist? This is a list of those songs. Please keep in mind that just because an artist and their song is on the list doesn’t mean I like the song or the artist (especially the artist). It just means that I acknowledge the impact and importance of the song and/or artist. One song per artist. #10: The Real Slim Shady- Eminem Technically speaking, Lose Yourself is more notable than The Real Slim Shady . But I feel like this song really set the standard on who Eminem is as an artist. He pretty much hit the jackpot when coming up with such an iconic nickname, and Eminem presents it with so much personality, style, rhythm and aggression that it just works. I'm not even sure if it could have as much of an effect on people with someone else in the track. Only Eminem could make it work. Again I have nothing against Lose Yourself , in fact I love that song more than this one. But I feel
