LET THE RIGHT ONE IN
For all those who flocked to the theater to see Twilight and missed out on Let the Right One In, you missed a far superior version that starts truer to the vampire mythos than the former. Directed by Tomas Alfredson, this Swedish vampire film is one of the best horror films of the decade. There is an atmosphere to the film that is so chilling and one that I have never seen used to an extent in a vampire film before. It's basically two films in one, a vampire film and a relationship film, and I dug how both worked.
For those who are interested in checking out, keep in mind that the company who made the DVD altered the subtitles. 'Dumbing it down' would be the correct term when you compare the theatrical subtitles to the DVD subtitles. However, the company has heard the fans responses and have now decided to re-release the DVD with the theatrical subtitles....without exchanging the original DVDs that were releeased.
MASTODON- CRACK THE SKYE
The Atlanta based quintet's 2009 release came out recently and it has been in constant rotation in my CD player and iPOD. By far the best new album I've heard in 2009. A major move forward from their brutal onslaughts of metal in Blood Mountain. Crack the Skye sees them show their progressive influences more than ever. Very doomy sections at times are another plus. Some of my favorite tracks include Oblivion, The Czar, Ghosts of Karelia and The Last Baron. Divinations is a track that will please the hardcore fans of Mastodon while the majority of the album shows them progressing into new territory.
NEWS- JASON NEWSTED WILL BE PERFORMING WITH METALLICA AT THE ROCK AND TOLL HALL OF FAME INDUCTION CEREMONY
Just recently it has been confirmed that Newsted, former bassist for Metallica will be playing with them as they get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I've always had much respect for him as he got the short end of the stick when he was in the band. Here was a guy who wrote brilliant songs for his the band Flotsam and Jetsam and once Metallica recruited him, he hardly got to write very little (Blackened and My Friend of Misery to name a couple). Not to menntion his bass being turned way down in the mix on And Justice For All. The documentary Some Kind of Monster shows him expressing his thoughts toward the whole situation and shows that he is a guy that is pretty level headed.
