As the title says, what is your favorite stories you have ever read/seen/played? This can be from a book, a movie, a video game or from any other source of storytelling! It is very hard to just pick one, i know, so post and talk about the ones you like the most if you have a hard time picking one. - My favorite must be from the game "The Last of Us", that game hit me right in the feels not even 15 minutes into the game, i was shocked, i was blown away by it, and in my honest opinion, it is storytelling on a very very high level, i got to bond with these characters, the story and the setting made me feel something i really haven't felt before!

Anyone here big on horse racing? I've been to a lot of race meets including some of the big ones including the Ebor, Derby and Aintree. Looking forward to Cheltenham starting tomorrow and hopefully get some winners. Each day at Cheltenham I bet the same... a placepot, lucky 15 and a daft single bet on a horse with odds of 20/1 or over. Personally i'm expecting McCoy to do pretty well here. Jezki looks his best bet at getting a winner. The big race tomorrow is the Stan James Champion Hurdle. Hurricane Fly is racing in this aswell as Jezki and at the minute william hill is paying 9/1. Surely this horse can't be overlooked. In my opinion one of the best hurdlers of…

Last night I went to see On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter, a documentary on motorcycle racing. A little history; the original On Any Sunday was produced in 1971 by filmmaker Bruce Brown who's most famous film up to that point was Endless Summer (1964) a surfing documentary. The original On Any Sunday is widely regarded by motorcyclists as the best motorcycle move of all time. It stars Steve McQueen, Malcolm Smith and Mert Lawill and highlights several different disciplines of moto racing both pro and amateur and has a sort of fun, innocence throughout the film. It's just a feel good movie that wants you want to get out and ride. Some of it is corny but that is its charm. …

Ah Metallica, my favorite band ever. I remember going to see them in Indianapolis in 1993 when the black album was released. Without a doubt the very best concert I have been to, these guys are amazing. Now I know many do not like them, even if they are fans of this tye of music, alot of that stems from the Napster thing way back. I think Metallica was right in leading the effort with that to make sure artists get paid for their work and not have it stolen. I also heard the other day that they also obtained all the rights to their music, they were under a 30 year contract which finally expired and now they will produce their own stuff under the name Blackened Records.

JustHatched's Ramblings - Inspirational Rock and Roll #2- Genre Mixing and breaking boundries

I've always found the blending of different music genres entertaining, this time round I will be putting out 2 examples that not only blend 2 types of music, but by doing so breaks some racial barriers. Black people aren't known for being hard rockers and white people aren't known rappers (if you follow stereo types and with the exception of a few). Aerosmith, Run DMC, Anthrax, and Public Enemy put together a couple songs that I feel only did good for the music world and the world. Aerosmith and Run DMC done a remix of Walk This Way while Anthrax and Public Enemy done a song not to popular in the mainstream called Bring The Noise. Check them out and get a feel for wha…

Being my first go at this, I would like everyone to know I love all types of music, from Mozart to Metallica and everything in between. Hard Rock is by far my favorite though. And most who do not care for this type of music are really not opening their minds to it IMO. For several reasons, some of the most rediculous being that it is satanic music to the more likely one which is they can't understand the singer. Others say it's all screaming and nothing else. My goal with a series of blogs is to squash some misbelief about this type of music by choosing songs that I think have an inspirational message, or have a personal meaning to me. Most will be from the '80's to pre…

What I Watched This Week #170 (Mar 31 - Apr 6) The Fate of the Furious dir. F. Gary Gray/2017/2h16m The eighth film in the franchise sees Dominic (Vin Diesel) do the worst thing imaginable, betray his family. But he's only doing it because he's being coerced by cyberterrorist Cipher (Charlize Theron), with his gang, led by The Rock (The Rock) and newly turned good guy Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), having to hunt him down and stop him. This is a big, dumb, fun Bond film that ended up in the wrong franchise but somehow works and is my favourite so far. I think this is also the best directed film in the series, Gray's first in the franchise, with some excellent action set pieces and fight scenes that defy all logic. I also think it's impressive that a film this deep into its run can attract such a good cast. Theron is really good as the villain, and I also loved Kurt Russell as mysterious government agent Mr. Nobody and, in a really fun cameo, Helen Mirren as Shaw's aggressively Cockney mother Queenie. I never thought I'd say this, but I think I'm a fan of the Fast and Furious franchise. 7/10 Two short films by Georges Méliès: A Nightmare 1896/1m The Infernal Cauldron 1903/2m These two shorts are from the father of movie magic, Georges Méliès, a French stage magician who, while tinkering with a newly bought film camera, invented special effects by accident and was one of the first filmmakers who was able to show what this new medium was really capable of. The first film sees him playing a sleeping man who is tormented by various things he's scared of, including a giant moon with a menacing face - a recurring image in his films, most iconically in A Trip to the Moon - clowns and, unfortunately, Black people. The second film has him in the role of a green demon - a lot of his films were painted by hand frame by frame so they had colour before colour film was a thing - consigning some people to hell by throwing them into a giant cauldron. The sheer inventiveness and creativity in his films makes them still a joy to watch today - racism aside - and these shorter ones are just a taste of what he's able to do in his masterful longer films like The Kingdom of the Fairies and The Impossible Voyage. Respectively I'll give these a 6/10 and 8/10 Brave dir. Brenda Chapman, Mark Andrews/2012/1h33m Pixar takes us to the magical ancient Scottish Highlands where Merida (Kelly Macdonald) is the princess of a kingdom ruled by King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson). Elinor wants to prepare Merida for marriage, whereas Merida wants to be free to make her own decisions. Thanks to a visit to a local witch (Julie Walters), Merida gets a cursed wish and inadvertently turns her mother into a bear. I'm a big fan of the setting of this film, it feels unlike anything Pixar has done before, and some of the landscape shots are gorgeous, but the story really drags, with a lot of obvious filler thrown in to pad the runtime. I also didn't really like the main character even though I could sympathise with her not wanting to just do what she's supposed to do. What this film has in its favour is the legendary Billy Connolly who I love in anything he does, and he's great here. I just wish Disney had the b*lls to release the profanity riddled outtakes that I'm sure exists in their vault somewhere. I also appreciate that this is an original film in an era of Pixar sequels (this came between Cars 2 and Monsters University), but that's not enough to get it more than a 6.5/10 65 dir. Scott Beck, Bryan Woods/2023/1h32m Set 65 million years ago this is a sci-fi thriller that stars Adam Driver as a deep space explorer of an alien race who crash lands on prehistoric Earth where he and a young girl, Koa (Ariana Greenblatt), are the only survivors. The two don't speak the same language, making it harder for them to work together to not get eaten by dinosaurs and make it to an escape pod before the giant extinction level asteroid hits the planet (spoilers: they don't have long). This is from the same directors of the recent Hugh Grant religious thriller Heretic, which I enjoyed quite a bit, but this is just bland bland bland. The premise is cool but they've managed to execute it in the most vanilla way possible. The two performances are good, with Driver really putting a lot of effort into basically nothing, but all of his dialogue was so hard to concentrate on because it was so dull. I also thought the dinosaurs just looked weird and never really felt like a threat. There was more tension from the ticking clock of the asteroid than from anything earthbound. 4/10 Law Abiding Citizen dir. F. Gary Gray/2009/1h49m My second F. Gary Gray film of the week, this one stars Gerard Butler as Clyde who, after his family are killed during a break in, decides to take revenge on not only the murderers but also the lawyer who got them a plea bargain that set them free, Nick (Jamie Foxx). I don't know what it is but there's something about this film that makes it feel like it should have come out in the mid 90's starring Nicolas Cage. It wants to be both a serious legal thriller and an overblown action film but it never really commits to either. The various traps and gadgets that Clyde creates to take his revenge are well executed but it becomes ridiculous in the third act, culminating in what was to me a pretty bad ending. Still, I enjoyed the scenes between Butler and Foxx, and I always like seeing Colm Meaney pop up in stuff, here with a sizeable supporting role as a detective trying to stop Clyde's murderous plans. 6/10 Come Drink with Me dir. King Hu/1966/1h31m This influential martial arts film stars Cheng Pei-Pei as daughter of the local governor who has a secret alias as Golden Swallow, a sword for hire. Her latest job is very personal as she has to rescue her brother who has been kidnapped by a gang led by Jade Faced Tiger (Chen Hung-Lieh). Helping her on her quest is Drunken Cat (Elliot Ngok Wah), who has a secret of his own. This is both graceful - Pei-Pei was a trained ballet dancer, not martial artist - and brutally bloody, and incredibly gorgeous to look at with some beautiful production and costume/make-up design. Pei-Pei is great in the lead, being both demure and deadly at the same time, with Ngok Wah having a lot of fun as her playfully drunk sidekick. I did find the plot to be a bit too convoluted for what it is, mostly with the plot about Drunken Cat's past, but it's worth it for the climactic mountainside showdown. 8/10 Lime's Films of the Week! Two short films by Phoebe Jane Hart: JamieSonShine 2020/5m Bug Diner 2024/7m I'm finishing off the week with two very different shorts from Phoebe Jane Hart. The first is a very personal experimental documentary about her older brother and how his schizophrenia has affected their relationship. A mixture of live action stop motion and animation, this feels like we're getting a small glimpse into their world, and it's able to convey so much love and empathy without every seeming trite or sentimental. The second film is a stop motion film set in a diner staffed and visited by a selection of different anthropomorphic animals and insects who all have very human problems with their relationships. There's a pair of grasshoppers having marital issues but the husband becomes aroused at the thought of his wife with another man, an anteater with the hots for a squirrel, and the fly waitress can't stop fantasising about the mole chef's hot *ss. Weird, crude but strangely very relatable. These are Hart's only two films so far, but I can't wait to see what she does next. I'll give these a combined 8/10 -

Went to see the Minecraft movie last Friday with my Tech and our son. Can't say no when my son offers IMAX tickets. As a Minecraft player I wasn't expecting much from this movie. Was surprised to actually enjoy it. Sure it's not some deep story or anything life changing but it made me laugh and was overall enjoyable. They stuck to how the game works in most ways while taking liberties with a few things. Has some annoyances that make it a watch once and be done type of movie though. 3 out of 5 stars.- 2

What I Watched This Week #169 (Mar 24-30) Angel Face dir. Otto Preminger/1952/1h31m Angel Face is a film noir starring Robert Mitchum as ambulance driver Frank Jessup who, after responding to a call at the posh Tremayne estate, meets the manipulative femme-fatale daughter of the family, Diane (Jean Simmons). After becoming a driver for the family the parents are soon killed in a car accident with Diane being the sole heir. The plot for this is fairly straightforward and predictable for the most part (that ending however really shocked me with how suddenly violent it is) but the two lead performances and the prevailing atmosphere of nihilistic cynicism really make this worth watching. There's a real sense of sad desperation in Mitchum's performance as he can see the trap he's willingly walking into but he just can't help himself, with Simmons excellent as the spider at the centre of the web. The direction isn't flashy, for the most part it's quite unobtrusive, but it does make the house feel more claustrophobic as the film progresses, making us feel trapped alongside Frank and Diane. 8/10 Gentlemen of Nerve dir. Charlie Chaplin/1914/15m This early Chaplin short is set at an automobile race, with Chaplin, credited as playing Mr. Wow-Wow, causing his usual chaos alongside his partner Mr. Walrus (Mack Swain). He flirts with a woman (Mabel Normand, his co-star for many early films before moving studios and starting a partnership with Edna Purviance), gets in a fight with a policeman, and finds several new ways of falling on his *ss. This could be confused with any number of his films from this period if it wasn't for the setting of a race track. Watching these old-timey cars in action was genuinely thrilling because there are little to no health and safety precautions that I could see. Aside from that this is fairly standard fare from the Chaplin of this period. 5/10 Paris Blues dir. Martin Ritt/1961/1h38m Paul Newman and Sidney Poitier star as Ram and Eddie, American jazz musicians living and working in Paris who meet and fall in love with a pair of tourists, Lillian and Connie (Joanne Woodward, Diahann Carroll), and must soon make the decision between staying in Paris or going home to America. In terms of tone and atmosphere this is one of the coolest films I've ever seen. There's some really immersive location shooting that plunges you into the counterculture world of the jazz scene, a brilliant soundtrack, and Newman and Poitier being two of the most handsome and charismatic men you've ever seen. There's even a cameo from Louis Armstrong as Wild Man Moore who just lights up the screen whenever he appears. I feel like the story hints at something more but doesn't commit in the end when it comes to the relationships. At first it seems like Ram would end up with Connie, who is Black, saying in their first flirtatious meeting that all white women look the same to him, but eventually she ends up with Eddie and Ram hooks up with Lillian. There are also scenes between Eddie and Connie where he explains that the reason he doesn't want to go back to America is because he doesn't feel welcome there as a Black man, but again this is underdeveloped. If the film committed to actually exploring these things then I think it would be even better, but as it is this is still great. 8.5/10 Woman of the Hour dir. Anna Kendrick/2023/1h34m Watched on the strength of @djw180's review, this film is based on the true story of an aspiring actress, Sheryl (Kendrick, who also directs), who appeared on The Dating Game where one of her potential suitors is a serial killer, Rodney Alcala (Daniel Zovatto). One of my favourite things about this film is the non linear structure. The film takes place during the shooting of the show with flashbacks showing us Rodney's past crimes, escalating the tension and sense of danger. Zovatto gives a really strong performance as the killer, brimming with charisma and charm but the flashbacks give us the context to see the malice and threat behind every word. Kendrick is also very good even though she spends most of the film sat in a chair on the set of the show. What lets this film down somewhat is that it's too funny at times, feeling almost like a comedy, especially at the start. This kind of undercuts some of the tension of the film, and feels like Kendrick using her roots and experience in comedy as a crutch in what is her first film as director. I think if she showed a bit more confidence in her abilities as a filmmaker and played this straighter then this would be an even better thriller. 7/10 Koyaanisqatsi dir. Godfrey Reggio/1982/1h26m Classed as a documentary, Koyaanisqatsi - a Hopi language word that means life out of balance - is more of an experience than a film. With no narrative or dialogue the whole thing is a visual poem that seems to chart the progress of humanity from our cave dwelling days up to the contemporaneous modern world of New York City. We start with a rocket taking off, then cave paintings. For half an hour we see the natural world, no trace of human life. Then explosions, metal, machinery. Man is here. New York is overwhelming. Footage sped up so the mass of humanity flows like blood through the streets. There's a moment in all of this where we slow down and focus on the faces of strangers in the street. Shots almost like portraits, putting a face to this world. All of this set to an incredible score by Philip Glass. A modern Man With a Movie Camera, this shows how film can be used to tell a story and elicit emotion in unconventional ways and is honestly one of the best films I've seen in a long time. 10/10 Lime's Film of the Week! Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling dir. Richard Pryor/1986/1h37m Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling is the sole directorial effort from one of, if not the greatest stand up comedian of all time, Richard Pryor. It is a deeply personal and autobiographical film (though he says it isn't) in which he plays a world famous comedian who sees his life flash before his eyes as he lies in a hospital bed, close to death after setting himself on fire during a crack binge. His soul leaves his body and, after being shocked and disgusted with what he's done to himself, travels back through his past, all the way from his childhood where he was raised in a brothel, through to his worldwide fame and total breakdown, to see where it all went wrong. Like his stand up routines this is, for the most part, painfully honest, raw like an open wound, and criminally funny. Pryor, as good as he is at comedy, is almost as good at drama- see also his performance in Blue Collar where he is every bit Harvey Keitel's equal - and there are some really heart wrenching scenes here. The ending where he gives a eulogy to Jo Jo, putting all the pain of his past to rest, was really powerful while also being really funny. There are times when it feels a bit safe and conventional, like he's holding back a bit, but this is a must watch if you're a fan of Pryor. 8.5/10 Return to the Edge of the World dir. Michael Powell/1978/24m (no trailer for this, so here's one for the original film) This short documentary is the last film from one of the greatest filmmakers in British history, Michael Powell (his film Peeping Tom, released the same year as Psycho, is, in my opinion, a better and more shocking slasher film than Hitchcock's classic). Here he returns to the island of Foula, in the Shetlands off the Scottish coast, where he filmed his breakout film The Edge of the World in 1936. That film was based on a true story of an island with an aging population and the young folk all gone off to the mainland that had to evacuate and leave their way of life behind. Here he finds the local community still going strong, with a lot of the film being about them rather then reminiscing about the past. Also taking the trip with Powell is the lead actor from the original film, John Laurie (anyone of a certain age in the UK will recognise him as Private Frazer from Dad's Army and his iconic catchphrase "we're dooooooomed"). He is a wonderfully warm presence with a voice I could listen to all day. This makes for a beautiful but bittersweet bookend for Powell's career. 7/10- 1

Delicious (2025) dir Nele Mueller-Stöfen A drama / thriller that could also be classed as mild horror. It's a reasonably original story which, judging by IMDB reviews, a lot of people just did not understand or reacted badly to what they saw as a political message they disagree with. I don't think it really had a political message. It just made use of very clear, obvious contrasts between how wealthy and not-wealthy people live. The basic plot is a middle class, German, stereotypical family (Mum, Dad, Son & Daughter) are on holiday in a villa in the south of France. Following an incident on the way home from a visit to a hotel restaurant they end up taking in a young Spanish woman, Theodora, to cook and clean for them. You can tell from the start that there is going to be more to the story that what you can see at first. You know Theodora and her boyfriend engineered the situation and it's related to things that happened in the hotel. And it's also probably related to protests going on in Marseilles that we see at the start of the film, about the cost of living for those on low paid jobs like waitresses, maids, porters etc. It has hints of films like The Killing of a Sacred Deer in that its about a young person working their way into the lives of the members of a wealthier family, and it clearly is going to end badly for some of them. The family have their issues and are not quite the ideal happy family they appear to be. It's well made, decent acting from Valerie Pachner (Esther, the mother) and Carla Diaz (Theodora). There's some nice cinematography; wide shots almost symmetric around one of the characters, sea and landscapes from unusual angles, etc. It has some good music too, a mix of classical and modern. A couple of plot elements are a little too unsubtle or implausible. I'm also not quite sure whether there was supposed to be a supernatural element to it or if certain things we see were just in a character's imagination. I enjoyed it and think it's well worth watching. 8 / 10- 1
