Braveheart 2?

Today I watched a movie called Sword of War. It was one of the best movies I have watched this year...and it came out in 2009. It has a medieval setting that tries to follow history as much as it can while still keeping a great story. If this movie was released instead of Braveheart I would be pleased with the result. It is very similar to Braveheart in many ways and I highly recommend it. Not much else to say on the matter without giving away the movie too much. Just watch it for yourself and you'll know what I mean when I say it's very good.

Afterthought: I won't be posting every single day it will just be once in awhile so do remember to check in for anything new.

All Over The Place

Recently, I have been listening to a variety of things. Creed, Queen, Journey, just to name a few. But one artist that I listen to, I am not ashamed to tell people about. I listen to Micheal Jackson. Despite his questionable decisions in life I do enjoy his music. He is undeniable the King of Pop for a reason. From hits like Don't Stop Til You Get Enough, Beat It, Thriller, Bad and more, he has created some of the best pop music of all time. I will not be one to judge him on his life decisions throughout the years. There was definitely something different to his music that put him over the rest. He was quite talented at what he did.

Addictions of Many Varieties

Many people in the world today suffer from addictions. Some not so serious such as being addicted to a video game or some such and other that are very serious like drug addiction. No one person can go through a drug addiction and heal his or herself. They need the support and encouragement of others to get them through. Not to have others pretend to care but turn a blind eye when they are needed most. I feel like I should add more but I can't think of anything at 10 after 12 p.m.

2 For 1. So why are you complaining about it?

Most people who didn't live under a rock during the late 90's have heard of the band Creed. For a while there they were the biggest band in the world. Bringing rock back to forefront of music, they were show what rock band could do in a mainstream and accessible fashion. After 3 highly successful albums the band called it quits. Then most of the members of the band formed a whole new band with a different singer called Alter Bridge. Alter Bridge also has 3 albums out like Creed does with some success. What makes me angry is so many people coming down on Creed not only for there sound but for the mistakes there lead singer Scott Stapp has made. Let me tell you he's not the first guy to make these mistakes and he certainly won't be the last. I like Creed and I like Alter Bridge. Maybe I might be the only one who thinks this but I think that Creed is better. Sure Alter Bridge is still pretty good and they are much better then a lot of what has come out in the music industry in the last decade but Creed seems to put it all together for me.

One of the biggest reasons I think Creed is better in my eyes is that there songs are not as forgettable as any Alter Bridge song. Maybe it's because of when Creed released there songs as opposed to when Alter Bridge released there songs but I just think that Creed is better. My mind is not going to be changed by anyone who disagrees. People have received 2 great bands out of Creed. Why is there any need to hate one or the other. Also as great of a singer that Myles Kennedy is, Scott Stapp is a much better singer in my mind. No questions about it. So yes, you could say I'm not a big fan of Alter Bridge and you might be right, I'm not a big fan of them. I still like some of there stuff but I like all of Creeds albums and to me Alter Bridge's first album is an extremely weak and forgettable album. The second album is probable the best and the third album is to same ole same ole. Most of the songs sound almost exactly like the next one on the album. Not to much variety for me.

I cannot stress this enough. There is no need to hate Creed or Scott Stapp regardless of how you feel about his mistakes. He has turned his life around. Why continue to hate him and Creed for his mistakes that he has atoned for. Give it a rest people, give it a rest.

Good Clean Fun

What's fun these days. Is it hanging out with your friends? Is it spending time with the family? Or is it something else? Anyone can seem to find anything fun these days. Of course I myself have my own preferences of what to do. Whether it's watching a movie, playing a game or something else. Now the real meaning of the title comes into play here. I've spent the last few days watching some movies. Most of them were comedies. My problem is the way that comedy films are done today. Each one usually seems to have a good idea. But there are some exceptions cough...the hangover movies...cough. Why does comedy always have to employ swearing or just raunchy, dirty humor. There is no need for there to be any of this in a movie just to make it funny. I find that all of the things just mentioned completely take away from a comedy. In fact I think that each of these things makes a movie completely horrible and quite a waste of time. I want to see something funny not something incredible stupid.

Complete and Utter Shock

For a band to have the hits that it had, you would expect a good live performance. Unfortunately, they could not deliver on that bit. In the later years of there 80's career they seemed to go downhill a bit with there music. The 90's certainly weren't kind thanks to the horrific awfulness that was grunge music but, I just started listening to an album they put out 4 years ago and have heard they are doing another one. If the last album is any indication then they are doing just fine. Of course, I am talking about the band Loverboy. I have to admit I like some of there early music. Later on in there career they had seem to become a bit repetitive however, there last album seems to have breathed new life into the band. I'll admit this review of it seems a bit late but it's just as classic in my opinion as there early music.

Dirty Lyrics

          Now I listen to a lot of different things but most of it revolves around rock and roll music. I listen to things like Journey and Foreigner and bands with a similar sound. I have recently heard about from a few people how they do not like some of the other things I listen to like for example Whitesnake. I do listen to Whitesnake but only there latest stuff from the last few years. Otherwise I don't really listen to them. I like Whitesnake. I'm not that big of a fan of there lyrics though. I know they don't write the cleanest of lyrics but that is not why I like them. David Coverdale is an amazing singer and Doug Aldrich is an amazing guitar player. Just because one or two people think there lyrics are juvenile (which I do agree with for the most part) does not mean I will stop liking, nor should I be made fun of for doing so. It's a free choice for me to listen to Whitesnake and I will if I want to. Plus I know what some people listen to so I know I have not made the worst choice for music.

Welcome To The Show

This entry is just to introduce myself. I'm interested in writing about what I want to write about. Whether it's a movie or a game or something like that, I want to discuss these things the way I feel about them. Know this, I will be blunt and I will be honest. This is my blog and I will write what I want to. Feel free to comment if you wish but I will respond the way I normally would. All the world's a stage and I just took the center of it.
